Power Plant and Petrochemical Plant Maintenance Equipment

Waste-to-energy plants burn municipal solid waste (garbage or trash), to produce steam in a boiler. That steam is used to power an electric generator turbine. This solid waste is a mixture of paper, plastics, yard waste, and products made from wood. Without waste-to-energy plants, all trash would just end up in landfills.

A nuclear plant in the Midwest was experiencing high head pressure in their unit 2 containment chillers.  Unit 2 has two A & B 550-ton chillers that produce chilled water, which supplies the air handlers for the primary containment area. 

A power plant in the Midwest was experiencing reduced power output due to scale deposits within their chillers. After utilizing (5) 330-gallon totes of ScaleBreak-MP for the first 1,700 ton system cleaning, the result was so successful, they decided to clean the remaining 3 systems immediately.

Brazed plate heat exchangers perform in many capacities, in this case study they were being utilized to cool flue gas.  Brazed plate heat exchangers transfer energy with high efficiency and minimal thermal loss. When operating in environments where poor water quality occurs, or with high temperatures, scale deposits from minerals within the water source may fall out of suspension and adhere to the heat transfer surface, creating an insulating barrier. This may have a detrimental impact on the heat exchanger’s performance and efficiency. In addition to efficiency loss, continued scale build can act as a breeding ground for particulate fouling which can result in corrosion issues. The facility realized efficiencies had fallen far below expected levels and recognized a cleaning was needed.

When Cory Wasiakowski saw the temperature variance on his heat transfer, he knew that he had a problem. Cory is the maintenance supervisor at UGI Development’s Hunlock Creek Energy Center near Wilkes-Barre, Penn.

A leading coal-fired power plant had been longing for a simpler way to complete tube cleaning maintenance tasks. With thousands of tubes to clean, it can easily become a daunting task if you aren’t using the right tools or methods.

A major 3,900 megawatt coal burning power plant had been longing to raise efficiency in their condensers to overall improve facility operations. See how Goodway super scrubbers helped. 

When an electric utility company in Florida was dealing with inconsistency and particulates in their water, such as mussels, clams and organisms naturally found in ocean environments, they turned to Goodway Technologies for advice.

A 1,800-megawatt nuclear plant in the South had been routinely shooting their heat exchanger tubes as part of their ongoing maintenance program, yet they couldn’t help but notice that their tubes were still reducing in efficiency. Find out how they shot themselves to leaders in efficiency.
