The evidence is already here: Sea levels are rising, glaciers are retreating and extreme weather events are becoming more common. The transition to clean energy is crucial to our future. But many questions remain unresolved. #1 Fossil fuels are an answer #2 Renewables don’t come for free #3 Technology is not the issue #4 Infrastructure […]

Ultrapure water plays a vital role in all Power Generation Plants.  A WTP may shut down for several reasons causing Power Providers to face losses in the millions for every hour of downtime.  While many plants operate 24/7 without interruption, there is a high chance a temporary WTP will be required at some point in […]

With more distributed energy, sharper demand peaks and the push for renewables, today’s energy landscape is more complex than ever. The good news? Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are small, mobile and available to rent or buy from your Cat dealer. Discover how these flexible solutions can help you cut costs, boost efficiency and stay […]

The number of cyber attacks on operational technology (OT) is rising rapidly. What was once a concern primarily reserved for information technology (IT) professionals has moved into OT spaces. The proliferation of connected devices in OT environments has opened the door to critical infrastructure for bad actors looking for payouts, to cause harm or gain […]

In the power generation industry, it is challenging to find enough resources to address all your needs. On top of that, the power business operates in volatile markets with changing price signals and competitive forces. Energy companies must be prepared to adapt and change to deliver top asset performance. You need to routinely question existing […]

Today’s environmentally-friendly hydraulic fluids can cause serious problems that did not occur with previous generation fluids that contained heavy-metal additives. Electrostatic discharges and a host of other detrimental effects can occur with today’s fluids, but solutions exist to alleviate the problems. Hydraulic fluid producers introduce additives (usually several, as an additive package) into base oils […]

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) completed compressor blade replacement work on two 7FA units, including full inspections, and ongoing operational recommendations. We were responsive to emerging issues, scope change and flexible in supporting the customer’s needs. MD&A was mobilized to address suspected fuel nozzle leaks on the customer’s unit 1 gas turbine. The unit had been shut down […]

Optimize Transmitter Installation Ensuring a proper, consistent set-up of multiple water panel transmitters is a time-consuming, manual process prone to errors. Pure water systems often require several transmitters to monitor various parameters. To simplify this task and reduce the risk of mistakes when trying to transfer the same configuration across multiple water panel transmitters manually, […]
