As soon as the temperature in a heat-transfer system becomes too high for water, a plant operator must choose between petroleum-based or synthetic oils as the heat-transfer liquid. When modern petroleum oils are used, systems with feed temperatures up to about 300 °C can stay in service for their entire service life with one filling and with virtually no maintenance. Once feed temperatures ...
Energy and exergy efficiencies of a supercritical power plant have been studied in this paper. The effect of ambient weather condition was considered on the condenser pressure. It was shown that high ambient temperature has more adverse effect on the exergy efficiency than the energy efficiency. As ambient temperature increases, the exergy efficiency of the boiler, condenser, heaters and feed ...
Challenge A large chemical manufacture was challenged with boiler tube failures in its power plant, resulting in costly repairs and down time. The boiler tube failures were a result of the incoming water quality to the power plant. Until recently, the boiler make-up water was treated with a combination of carbon media filtration and softening. As a result less than 50% of condensate was ...
Vibrational Noise is one of the major Environmental problems in Industrial Plants. The Noise Study under taken in Chinese Unit no.4 of Thermal Power Station (TPS) Jamshoro. The level and Frequency characteristics of the prevailing Noise recorded in detail, at Basement Area Feed Pumps, Turbines, Boilers, F.D.F, I.D.F & Compressors, and found that the level of Noise is higher at Boiler House and ...
The Facility The SAGD Facility is called “Orion” and consists of 4 major processes: Steam Generation, Injection/Recovery Wells, Deoiling and Water Purification, for recovery of oil. The Players Aquatech will be working alongside Shell Canada (formerly BlackRock Ventures), the developer and IMV Projects, the integration engineers. ...
Desalination plants based on Mechanical Vapour Compression (MVC) technology are inherently the most thermodynamically efficient. The thermodynamic efficiency of the MVC process is derived from the application of the heat pump principle. A single unit of a two-effect MVC desalination pilot plant of 50 m?/day capacity has recently been commissioned at Trombay, Mumbai. The desalination unit is very ...
Challenge A major beverage plant was looking to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment while meeting the water treatment challenges at its facility. The sustainability goals of the facility included reducing water usage ond energy costs associated with its operations. Until recently, the facility was using city water in its utility process. The company was looking ...
This issue is not addressed in Xylem Domestic Pump and Hoffman Pump product manuals, factory recommendations or Little Red School House steam system application and sizing guides. Some installations require insulation for safety. Otherwise, it’s a matter of choice based on system design and your understanding of the strengths, limitations and use of products in the system. ...
PROJECT DETAILS LOCATION Buenos Aires, Argentina CUSTOMER Central Puerto Power Plant SOLUTION Complete Water Demineralization Plant TECHNOLOGIES Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis, Continuous Electrodeionization A power plant in Buenos Aires needed to increase its ...
The Facility The Sulcis Power Plant is equipped with 1 x 345 MW fluidized bed boiler and 1 x 240 MW conventional boiler. This coal-fired power plant is located in Sardinia Island and has a total of 585 Mwe capacity. The units normally fire imported coal with < 1% Sulphur. The flue gases are treated sequentially by SCR-DeNOx with ammonia as the reagent. This is followed by a high ...
The Facility The Cottonwood Power Project is one of the first United States power plant projects for InterGen, a joint venture between Houstonbased firms Shell Oil Co. and Bechtel Corp. Located in Deweyville, Texas along the Texas-Louisiana border, the plant is a natural gas fired, four-unit combined cycle facility capable of producing 1,230 megawatts of power. The ...
