Steam is utilized for process heating, mechanical work, and to generate electricity at many thousands of industrial facilities and power plants. Steam purity, quality, and other parameters are widely variable depending upon the application. This…
Tube Leak Repairs in South Carolina: Project Brief
SVI BREMCO performed tube leak repairs (ASME R stamp welding) and tube replacements at a power plant located in South Carolina. Multiple tubes had leaks and were replaced or repaired.
Considerations When Choosing a Vent Silencer
Vent silencers are implements that decrease noise levels from fluids at an exhaust point. Industrial facilities create high levels of noise at these exhaust points, sometimes around a safety valve, because high-pressure gas emissions meet…
How to Find Tube Leaks in the Superheater
Over half of boiler outages occur because of tube leaks, and boiler outages are the major cause of generation loss in power plants. When tube leakage occurs in the superheater and reheater, it is even more serious. That’s why power plants must be…
