Why Upgrade Turbine Exhaust Silencer Insulation to Acoustical Pillows?
Reducing noise efficiently is critical for smooth operations in gas turbine power plants. Traditional exhaust silencers, with their parallel baffle setups, have effectively met noise standards amidst the challenges of turbine exhaust. However, with…
Enhancing Project Management and Customer Satisfaction with PMP Principles
For industrial services providers, having a strong commitment to delivering high-quality products and ensuring customer satisfaction is paramount. One key strategy that can set you apart from other companies is adherence to the Project Management…
What is Involved with Stack Silencer Retrofit Planning?
Combustion gas turbine power plants typically require exhaust gas path silencing in the stack, whether in a simple- or combined-cycle arrangement. Hundreds, if not thousands, of units in the United States installed base are 20+ years old now and…
Benefits of Field Safety Relief Valve Testing
Testing field safety relief valves (SRVs) is an essential maintenance practice in various industries, especially in oil and gas, chemical, and power generation. This procedure ensures the safe and efficient operation of machinery and systems by…
How To Repair Concrete and Tile Tank Leaks
Concrete tanks, tile tanks, and wastewater piping are the backbone of many plant storage systems, serving multiple industries worldwide. However, over time, these tanks and piping may develop leaks, posing significant challenges for sustainability.…
Process Steam Requirements – Not a “One Size Fits All” Concept
Steam is utilized for process heating, mechanical work, and to generate electricity at many thousands of industrial facilities and power plants. Steam purity, quality, and other parameters are widely variable depending upon the application. This…
Tube Leak Repairs in South Carolina: Project Brief
SVI BREMCO performed tube leak repairs (ASME R stamp welding) and tube replacements at a power plant located in South Carolina. Multiple tubes had leaks and were replaced or repaired.
Considerations When Choosing a Vent Silencer
Vent silencers are implements that decrease noise levels from fluids at an exhaust point. Industrial facilities create high levels of noise at these exhaust points, sometimes around a safety valve, because high-pressure gas emissions meet…
How to Find Tube Leaks in the Superheater
Over half of boiler outages occur because of tube leaks, and boiler outages are the major cause of generation loss in power plants. When tube leakage occurs in the superheater and reheater, it is even more serious. That’s why power plants must be…
