Chloride and sulfate are highly corrosive ions when present in the water/steam cycle of a power plant. They can damage critical components such as turbines, boilers and steam generator tubes, which can lead to unplanned shutdowns and reduced power generation efficiency. METTLER TOLEDO Thorntonʼs 3000CS Chloride/Sulfate Analyzer is an accurate and reliable, online analyzer for […]

MD&A was commissioned by a major U.S. utility to conduct a time-sensitive replacement for a non-native steam turbine bucket. The unit had previously received an OEM-supplied bucket upgrade, which created challenges for the customer. Since this was a modified unit, standard documentation was not sufficient. MD&A was able to leverage our deep experience within the industry to […]

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is one of the most commonly overlooked contaminants in today’s power generation and industrial cogeneration. Controlling organics is important and is especially critical in cogeneration power/steam cycles, where the purified condensate water returning from production processes is subject to organic contamination. Organics present in power plant waters have a number of […]

In its quest to drive down costs while boosting safety, the nuclear industry has ramped up efforts to streamline operations and maintenance (O&M). New approaches target efficiency and resilience. If there is an underreported trend in nuclear, it has been the global sector’s dramatic reduction in generating costs over the past decade. In 2022, the […]

Power generation companies are continually looking for ways to make their operations more cost-effective, in part by seeking out investments that will bolster the bottom line while maintaining their commitment to provide customers with reliable electricity. Many of those utilities want to take advantage of renewable energy resources, making cleaner energy a larger piece of […]

By Paul Muir, CRO, Mobideo Why are Turnarounds So Challenging “A large turnaround can include up to 150,000 individual activities. With this level of complexity, approximately half of all shutdown projects are delayed by more than 20% and 80% go over budget by more than 10%. Frequently, the work scope increases unexpectedly by up to […]

Ergonomics The unseen team member of your control room. For organizations, it’s a matter of health and safety. It is also an issue of efficiency and overall productivity. Regardless of how companies measure the importance of comfort and function in their space, many organizations struggle to balance the need for highly ergonomic control rooms with […]

A new frontier for nuclear energy in the United States is under exploration, and Xcel Energy is at the forefront with a project to produce hydrogen, most likely at its Prairie Island plant near Red Wing, Minnesota. “Our carbon-free nuclear fleet has been key to our energy system for decades,” said Pat Burke, vice president […]

The process for aligning not only with the right fabrication partner, but considering the variables and hurdles at the outset of your project, are critical steps in ensuring your projects success. When these variables are not considered early on, they can result in significant delays in project completion, and can be costly. Design Stage Engagement […]
