Pump health audit sharpens outage planning

Planned work outages are an exercise in efficiency and preparation. As global power demand continues to increase, plant operators are compelled to execute required maintenance within increasingly shorter outage windows. The pressure on already stretched labor resources and the strict O&M budgets compounds the challenge of outage planning. Getting better information on equipment health offers

PTZ webinar draws global audience to a persistent steam-turbine problem

More than 500 registrants from 56 countries signed up for the March 31 IAPWS/CCJ webinar on damage and failure in the phase transition zone of steam turbines. That turnout said plenty before the first slide appeared. The subject was narrow by title, but not by consequence. Deposits, pitting, corrosion fatigue, stress-corrosion cracking, steam purity, carryover,

Proactive turbine-oil maintenance moves to the front line of reliability

A turbine end user could once treat lube-oil management as background maintenance. That is no longer a safe assumption. During a recent CCJ webinar offered by C.C. Jensen on proactive turbine-oil maintenance and varnish control, presenter Eddie Rowland, joined by former GE Vernova engineer Tom Freeman and Duke Energy lead engineering technologist Steve Malec, made

Easy as 1,2,3: Choose inlet filters based on GT-specific standards

ISO has published the first turbomachinery-specific standards for air intake filters. ISO 29461-1, ISO 29461-2 and ISO 29461-3 establish uniform test methods for efficiency and dust holding capacity, performance in fog and mist, and mechanical integrity at high pressure. While this is not breaking news, the combination of the three standards is a powerful decision-making
