Webinar Agenda
Hydrogen can pose significant challenges to owners, operators, and maintenance personnel from the standpoint of safety, risk mitigation, and demands for increased efficiency. As a result, the Generator Hydrogen Auxiliary System demands close attention, with proper maintenance, monitoring, and upkeep to ensure safe plant operation. Operational challenges such as increased load cycling, shortages of experienced and well-trained maintenance personnel, emergency preparations, and extended time between outages place additional stress on these critical systems.
Join E/One Utility Systems and J3 Engineering and Construction for a new webinar, moderated by Combined Cycle Journal. J3’s Consulting Engineer, Jason Justice, and Mark Williams, E/One Business Development Manager, will discuss the implementation of – and plant experiences with – an automated purge system. The ‘Intensive Care & Handling’ of hydrogen that’s necessary for maximum safety, risk mitigation and increased efficiency for large turbogenerators will also be reviewed.
Learn why so many utilities have implemented the operator-initiated system and how an automated degas system can increase plant safety.
Presentation Takeaways
- Why automate the degas process?
- What key safety elements can be achieved from the project?
- Technical requirements and equipment for consideration
- Possible challenges that may arise
