Integrated System Descriptions
HPC Technical Services has taken system descriptions to the next level and is excited to introduce the Power-Doc, which includes the following in one document:
• Interactive system description,
• Interactive P&ID,
• Interactive alarm response manual
• Interactive instrument loop diagram
First, HPC writes an equipment-specific system description, adds images of your equipment, and includes your P&ID completely redrawn in color. This colorized version has the same detail as the original drawings and is a definite plus when tracing system piping and/or troubleshooting system problems. Next, HPC adds links to the P&ID, images, and system description to allow the user to jump back and forth within the Power-Doc. The resulting Power-Doc is a great tool for operating/troubleshooting each system.
If an alarm occurs in the control room, operations personnel open the Power-Doc, select the appropriate Alarm Title, and immediately view a list of probable causes and probable operator responses. They can also select the P&ID on the screen and go immediately to a highlighted P&ID of the system in question or select the instrument on the P&ID and see an Instrument Loop Diagram that shows the instrument, the wiring, and calibration data.
IImbiber Beads
Award-winning Drain Protection Systems (DPS) from
Imbibitive Technologies America are designed to allow rainwater to drain but automatically seal the leak path in the event of an oil release. Imbiber Beads®, used by the DPS, selectively remove organic liquids including PCBs from water. Imbiber Beads are discussed in the Design Guide for Oil Spill Prevention and Control at Substations, USDA-REA (RUS) Bulletin 1724E-302, the USEPA final rules for SPCC compliance, 40 CFR Part 112 (2002) as well as in the IEEE Guide for Containment and Control – IEEE Std. 980.
Imbiber Beads are the only true aBsorbent (ASTM F716) “engineered” for organic chemicals. They are not an aDsorbent and they are not a thickener/solidifier. Imbiber Beads will not dissolve in excess liquid. Water can not be absorbed by Imbiber Beads as they are hydrophobic. Imbiber Beads Imbicator® (changes color) Spill Maintenance Products (booms, blankets, pillows and packets) are also available for capturing and containing compatible organic chemical (fuels, solvents, mineral oil) releases.
Enhanced 3D Electric Field Solver
INTEGRATED Engineering Software, a leading developer of hybrid simulation tools for electromagnetic, thermal, and structural design analysis, has launched an enhanced version of its COULOMB 3D electric field solver software. Fast and accurate, COULOMB's calculations include electric field strength, transmission line parameters, and capacitance. It is suitable for applications such as high-voltage shielding, transformers, insulators and bushings, transmission lines and lightning arresters.
COULOMB has always offered a successful integration of an effective calculating method with accuracy and an engineer-oriented approach. Powerful parametric solvers allow designers to automatically vary and experiment with geometry, materials and sources, reducing the tedious, repetitive task of fine-tuning multiple design parameters. Version 7.0 of the software includes features such as self-adaptive 3D Finite Element Method and a better use of memory. The self-adaptive 3D FEM feature has been significantly enhanced and is now quicker to converge with less iterations. The only practical limitation for this feature is the amount of RAM available on the workstation. The program can now solve larger FEM problems up to 10 times faster than previously.

JFire Protection
Janus Fire Systems is an integrated supplier of fire protection products and services for the power generation industry. Janus Fire Systems designs special hazard systems using a variety of products. Carbon dioxide fire protection systems have been effectively used to protect base load fossil and nuclear plants, as well as combustion gas turbines for years. In an unprecedented move, the NFPA 12 committee mandated safety upgrades for new and existing carbon dioxide systems to be completed by December 31, 2008. The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 12 has been the definitive guide for design, installation, and maintaineance of carbon dioxide systems since its adoption in 1929. Required system modifications include upgraded signage, lock-out valves, odorizers, and pneumatic discharge delay timers—all to reduce the chance of a carbon dioxide discharge in an occupied space.
The Janus Fire Systems engineering team reviewed existing low-pressure carbon dioxide systems with the focus of becoming compliant with the new standard. In the process, they designed a proprietary Universal Pneumatic Time Delay System that meets the requirements of NFPA 12, section 4.5.6.1. This preassembled unit can retrofit all brands of low-pressure carbon dioxide systems.

KBearing Repair and Service
There are many reasons why bearings fail in rotating equipment. Failures occur from contaminants in the oil such as quartz and sand, metal chips, fly ash, and weld spatter. Bond failures occur from improper cleaning, dirt, gases, pour bonding techniques, oxides, reused or bad babbitt, etc. Cavitation erosion and corrosion are other means of failures. Fatigue failure is the cracking and fracturing of metals due to excessive cycling. There are other failure reasons such as overheating, electrical pitting, high-chromium damage, seizure from improper clearances and misalignment. There are many reasons that are recognizable and there are many that are very difficult to distinguish.
Kingsbury Repair & Service Division provides you with experienced personnel to help recognize problems and work out solutions. Kingsbury provides quality control unmatched in the repair industry.

High-Pressure Screw Compressor
High-pressure screw fuel gas compressors (API-619) are now available up to the high-pressure range of 100 barG (= 1500 psig), allowing the high-pressure screw compressor to cover most of the areas traditionally handled by reciprocating compressors. This means that owners of gas turbine power plants can fully enjoy the higher reliability and long-term continuous operation with lower maintenance offered by the high-pressure screw gas compressors, without suffering from difficulties due to the frequent maintenance required by reciprocating compressors.
In addition to more than 250 sets of experience for all types of gas turbines,
Kobelco has already delivered several sets of screw fuel gas compressors for GE LMS100 in the U.S. and Canada, which requires higher pressure fuel gas due to its high efficiency. The positive displacement screw gas compressor continues to offer the original great design benefits, such as higher reliability, lower maintenance, environmental friendliness, flexibility for changeable operating conditions, plus tremendous power saving by the slide valve mechanism. Kobelco higher pressure screw gas compressors can now bring even more benefits to gas turbine power plant.
