Has anyone used or experience with Kaowool Pumpable insultation?
I have three, 20 year old Heat Recovery Steam Generators with numerous hot spots. Many of the hot spots are in inexcessable areas.
Thank You
Anyone have experience using Biodiesel as the primary fuel for Combustion turbines?
What issues did you experience?
Specifically:
-combustor/fuel nozzels
-filter clogging
-cold weather performance
-above ground storage tanks
Thank You
I have three simple cycle Combustion Turbine sites that use diesel as a backup fuel. Each site can store inexcess of 100,000 barrels of diesel.
Any information or directions to standards and Industry Best Practices regarding diesel fuel maintenance, rotation, and long term storage is...
The exhaust stacks on my combustion turbines are not lined, i.e. bare steel. Every time we start a unit, it rains rust flakes. A vendor has offered to "flame spray an aluminum coating" on the inside of the exhaust stack.
Does anyone have experiense with corrosion in this area? Does anyone...
I have corrosion problems in the exhaust stack of My Pratt & Whitney simple cycle combustion turbines. A vendor claims he can solve my corrosion problems by flame spraying the lower 20 feet of the exhaust stack with Aluminum (sorry no alloy specifications yet). Exhaust stack temperatures can...
I am comparing my utility planning practices with prevailing practices. With that in mind I have some questions I would greatly appreciate your responce on.
The definition of Utilization Factor (UF) we use/go by is: UF is the ratio of the maximum demand of a system to the rated capacity of...
I would like to ask a few questions regarding Asset Utilization Factor to compare our pratices with prevailing paratices.
Utilization Factor (UF) as we define/use it: UF is the ratio of the maximum demand of a system to the rated capacity of the system. In other words, the UF indicates the...
I am an engineer with Puget Sound Energy, and am interested in knowing if other Natural Gas utilities have plans or procedures for mitigating low pressure on cold days? I would like to compare our plans and procedures to see were PSE can improve.
Thank You.
I would like to know if there is an inexpensive process to anodize 6061-T6 aluminum such that the electrical resistance at the surface is equal to (or less than) the base metal and the surface is protected from atmospheric corrosion?
I am looking at the situation were buried PE natural gas pipe must cross over buried electrical cable (120/240 volt). Worst case is the electric cable faults were the PE pipe crosses over. I am looking for some kind of material (inexpensive) to protect the PE gas pipe from the thermal energy...
I have a 3/4-10 UNC threaded rod, conforming to IEEE standard C135.1-1999, IEEE standard for zinc-coated steel bolts and nuts for overhead line construction.
The failed section of the bolt has striation marks indicative of fatigue failure, and a small zone with typical brittile failure...
Data: 54 inch ID steel casing. A circular pattern of 12x 6 inch diameter PVC conduit with 2 x 4 inch conduit runs inside the casing. A conduit bore spacer installed approximatly every 5 feet, to support the 6 and 4 inch conduit runs, as well as grout injection hose. A 2 inch ID hose will be...
