Waste to Energy FAQ's
In Waste to Energy (WtE) plants, maintaining gas and steam turbines is vital. This includes routine cleaning and lubrication to prevent damage from debris, scheduled preventive maintenance for operational efficiency, and monitoring systems that remove pollutants to protect sensitive equipment. Optimizing steam parameters within technical limits enhances energy efficiency. As equipment ages, maintenance costs rise, so a profit-based maintenance schedule is recommended. For plants with Hybrid Combined Cycle systems, maintaining thermal integration between cycles is also crucial. These practices ensure the longevity and efficiency of critical rotating equipment in WtE plants.
Inspections: Regular inspections to detect early signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
Overhaul Services: Comprehensive overhauls to restore turbine components.
Performance Optimization: Collaborating with plant operators to fine-tune steam cycle parameters and improve efficiency.
We are ISO 9001/ISO 9004 certified, with rigorous quality and supply chain management control through ISO and EFQM certified processes. Our quality processes are driven by a zero tolerance approach from our customers toward non-OEM parts. We have an open policy toward on-site review or audit by our clients or third party inspectors of any specification, manufacturing drawing, or quality record.
Waste-to-energy plants burn municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce steam in a boiler. This steam is then used to power an electric generator turbine. The combustion of MSW, which includes materials like paper, plastics, and yard waste, generates the necessary steam for electricity production.
WTE environments pose unique challenges:
Corrosion: Aggressive combustion gases can accelerate corrosion. Regular inspections and protective measures are essential.
Heat Exchanger Integrity: Ensuring the integrity of heat exchanger components is crucial for reliable operation.
Several factors play a crucial role:
Steam Parameters: The pressure and temperature of the produced steam significantly impact turbine efficiency. Properly optimized parameters are essential to avoid corrosion and ensure reliable operation.
Corrosion Mitigation: Due to the aggressive environment in waste combustion, protecting the heat exchanger section with refractory materials is vital. Limiting flue gas temperatures helps prevent corrosion.
Boiler Design: The configuration and features of the recovery boiler (adiabatic or integrated) influence steam quality and turbine performance.
