Tuning of Control and Monitoring Systems

Improving or rectifying the operation of process control and monitoring systems in a thermal power plant is an important activity. This can entail both in-service and outage activities, and is an important corollary to an effective inspection program.

Tuning of Control and Monitoring Systems

Boiler and HRSGs and their associated control and monitoring systems will age, this means that control/monitoring accuracy degrades and sometimes fails over the life of the plant. Therefore, at some point the plant will need to tune systems to reflect the changed characteristics of an aged boiler, or to commission replacement or refurbished control elements.  The available time to dot his is usually limited, when compared to that available for commissioning in anew plant.

Borescope Inspection

Borescope Inspection

The borescope is an essential tool for inspecting of power plant components. Commonly used in high-value rotating power-plant equipment such as steam turbines, gas turbines and generators it is also extremely useful for checking the internal or to reach external surfaces of boiler and HRSG tubes and piping.

Boiler & HRSG Offline Inspections

Boiler & HRSG Offline Inspections

The offline (or cold) inspection is an essential O&M activity at any thermal power or process plant. For steam generating equipment, whether it's a small industrial package boiler or a large utility-scale supercritical coal boiler, this is especially critical since only during a shutdown can the condition of all internal components be assessed in detail.

In-Service Inspection

In-Service Inspection

The in-service boiler or HRSG inspection has the advantage of being able to be conducted at nearly any time. It encompasses the external components of and typically refers to a unit that is running (or "hot"), but can also encompass a unit that is ready to run and in standby.
