Eddy Current Inspection Technology
Magnetec Inspection, Inc. is the recognized market leader in the on-site inspection of tubular process equipment, high- and low-pressure feed water, tubular heat exchanging, and cooling equipment in the petrochemical, chemical, paper/pulp, and electric power generating industries. Our continuing emphasis is on supplying high-quality, eddy current, remote field, IRIS, and remote video inspection services to our customers on their heat and cooling exchangers.
Through our advancement in personnel training, product data development and R&D activities we will remain at the leading edge of technology and provide for our customers the most up-to-date, reliable, and quality inspection services that are available. Our capabilities not only encompass the inspection and analysis of eddy current data but also evaluation of the exchanger based on metallurgy selection, corrosion engineering, failure mechanism analysis, design, performance, and life expectancy.
Dust Accumulation Resistant System
Martin Engineering has designed a dust accumulation resistant system. MARTIN® EVO™ Conveyor Technologies eliminate flat surfaces where dust can accumulate. This new architecture is upgradeable to meet any future material handling challenges. MARTIN EVO Conveyor Technologies exceed safety, environmental, and design codes and regulations.
The majority of the components are track-mounted and accessible from one side of the conveyor, simplifying installation and maintenance. The patent-pending wear liners are mounted on the outside of the skirtboards for more efficient and safer installation, adjustment, and replacement. All of the components are designed to eliminate dust, maximize uptime, and minimize downtime and maintenance costs.
Linking Financial and Operational Systems
Companies have long been monitoring the operation of their assets and in parallel tracking the costs of their operation. However, for most companies the challenge lies in linking the financial and the operational systems. This linkage is now possible, enabling companies to tie the cost of their operation back to the actions and processes that contribute to the costs. Once this linkage is achieved, users can make decisions with full visibility into the bottom line impact of the decision.
Matrikon’s solution integrates data from the following types of systems into a homogeneous platform: financial data, maintenance work orders, reliability data, real-time time-series data, and calculated values (such as production costs in $/MWh, process cost, and lost market opportunity). Through this integration, users at all levels of the organization are able to see the impact of their actions on profitability and modify their actions or processes to improve company results.
Air Pollution Control Systems
McGill AirClean helps the power generation industry meet stringent emissions regulations with dependable, economical air pollution control equipment. Our acid gas control systems provide effective control using a variety of reagents to convert acid gas to chemical salt. Our spray-dry scrubbers utilize dual-fluid nozzles to spray finely atomized reagent droplets into the scrubber for excellent acid gas neutralization. We also engineer dry injection systems that use various types of alkali.
Our electrostatic precipitator designs are modular, which drastically reduces field construction time. The dry ESP uses needle/plate electrodes that are the most energy efficient in the industry. Our wet ESP is a horizontal flow design with multiple, independent fields for superior performance. Our fabric filter design utilizes a single removable top lid, where the entire pulsing system is lifted off an individual module with an integral crane for quick, unimpeded access to bags and cages. Our deNOx reactor for selective catalytic reduction systems can be manufactured in high-dust or low-dust configuration. The systems are flow-modeled and can achieve 90+% nitrogen oxides removal.
Multi-Point Lubrication System
The
MEMOLUB® “Plug ‘n Lube”™ Multi-Point Lubrication System is a miniature central lubrication system. The system can be used to lubricate from 2 to 12 lube points. The Plug ‘n Lube system comes with a MEMOLUB Lubricator, distribution block and nylon tubing, prefilled with your selection of lubricant. Simply cut the tubing to the required lengths and plug them into the lubricator and bearings using the plug-in tube fittings that are supplied with the system. That’s it. The system is ready to go.
The programmable MEMOLUB uses low-cost, prefilled replaceable lubricant cartridges, available in three sizes, with a selection of over 300 lubricants. A variety of power options are available , from self-contained battery pack to external 12 or 24 volt power operating under external or PLC control.
Easy Coal Dust Clean-Up in Hard-to-Reach Areas
OSHA’s Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program now requires dust levels to be less than 1/32” (which is approximately equal to the thickness of a typical paper clip) due to combustible dust incidents/explosions. FoamKleen® portable cleaning systems safely keep coal handing facilities in compliance. FoamKleen can be used to reach high spaces such as roof beams, open web beams, tops of pipes and duct work, and other horizontal surfaces (as defined in OSHA Directive #CPL 03-00-008) where coal dust or other dust accumulates to stop the threat of explosions. The FoamKleen Systems also come with standard explosion-proof pumps.
By using air and/or water only cleaning systems, dust plumes are created, which is unacceptable under OSHA housekeeping standards. The FoamKleen agent encapsulates the coal dust and dirt that travels down the walls from the ceiling, girders and framework. The foam then carries the dust deposits directly to the floor. After the foam dissipates, coal fines and dust can be easily removed.
For over 33 years,
Midwest Industrial Supply Inc. has improved customers’ operational efficiency and operation costs while achieving environmental integrity and compliance in a variety of industries.
Axle Trailer
Miller Transfer recently put into service a new 2008 Nelson 9-axle trailer. The trailer, coupled with Miller’s 4-axle tractor, creates a 13-axle tractor trailer combination, which has a “cargo” capacity of 160,000 lbs. This new state-of-the-art trailer offers the latest in “depressed well” technology. The trailer well assembles from 15 to 90 feet long and can accommodate shipments up to 19 feet wide within the well. The trailer has telescopic crossmembers that are hydraulically operated, thus requiring minimal assembly. This results in time and cost savings for Miller Transfer’s customers.
Reliable Isolation, Vent, and Drain for Severe HRSG Service
Severe service floating ball valves from
MOGAS Industries have proven to be a dependable solution to demanding valve applications with a history of leaking. The MOGAS quick quarter-turn valve design has sealing components that are precisely mate-lapped with sharp leading edges on the metal seats that act as windshield wipers to wipe the ball clean with each operation. Also, the seats are protected in the open position.
Tight isolation is critical to allow the units to be able to sustain longer run times. Typical large bore MOGAS C-Series valve applications include: HRSG isolation with HP valves of F91 ranging in size from 12-18” 2500 ASME ; turbine bypass isolation floating ball valves of F91, 12-18” 2500 ASME; and sky vents available in F91 or F22 from 3-8” 2500 ASME. Good applications for the rugged but smaller RSVP MOGAS valves are HRSG drains and vents. These LP, IP, and HP installations are usually carbon steel, F22 or F91 valves ranging in size from 1” to 3” and 300 to 2500 ASME. Some key features of the RSVP include superior spray and fused coating, a double-keyed stem, deep stuffing box, mechanical precision stop, and stem with an integrated thrust bearing.
