Stopping Energy Loss Before It Escalates: How Thermography Protects HRSG Performance
For any power plant, a key issue is minimizing heat losses to, in turn, maximize the energy available for power generation. SVI Dynamics is proficient with the technique of thermography to identify locations of excessive heat loss in combined cycle…
Maintaining Thermal Efficiency in HRSG Units Using Flow Modifiers
SVI BREMCO was asked to assist a combined-cycle power plant with a complex engineering problem: the removal of a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) transition duct turning vane weldment positioned immediately downstream of a 120 MW class gas…
HRSG Tube Repair at a Northeastern Combined Cycle Power Plant
Evaporator and superheater tube repairs in heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) can be quite complicated due to the typical multi-pressure configuration. Unlike conventional coal-fired units, where the waterwall tubes form the boiler enclosure,…
HRSG Duct Burner Replacement – Project Brief
SVI BREMCO recently completed a project involving the replacement of HRSG duct burners in a combined-cycle plant. These burners are critical for increasing steam production by being installed in the HRSG ductwork. They are especially important…
Duct and Stack Upgrades at an Idaho Simple Cycle Power Plant
Over the last two decades, many coal-fired power plants have been retired for both economic and environmental reasons. Wind and solar have replaced a significant portion of this generation, but with renewable energy production subject to the…
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.…
