Integrated Global Services Inc.Boilers operate at high temperatures, often beyond their initial design parameters. As a result, the performance of the boiler is restricted due to issues on their waterwalls and superheater sections, including corrosion, cracking, erosion, and excessive fouling. Boiler Tube Panel Replacement Tubes, panels or even whole boiler sections may need replacing, which can be detrimental […]
During our recent webinar (if you missed it live, you can still watch it here on demand), Johnny Smatana reviewed a case study (read it here) where we repaired internal refractory on a live SMR. With more than 200 attendees, questions were raised about the process and limitations of repairing hot spots on live fired […]
Colin Bateman, IGS Corrosion Mitigation SME, explains how fuel diversification causes corrosion of the boiler pressure parts, leading to tube leaks that result in costly shutdowns. Watch until the end to see how these forced shutdowns caused by boiler tube corrosion can be prevented. Video Transcript The power industry today faces a lot of challenges, […]
Stringent legislations combined with rising fuel costs are making it increasingly important for refineries, chemical, and petrochemical plants to ensure that their critical equipment is performing at maximum capacity and efficiency. A 1-2% decrease in efficiency in fired heaters can consume an additional $1m in fuel across a 12-month period, placing additional pressure on plants […]
IGS has provided millions of Saudi Riyals value in asset preservation, elimination of forced outages, and reduction of maintenance costs over the past ten years. Fast Facts IGS has executed over 50 projects and installed close to 3,500M² of IGS HVTS. Projects to date include 3 NGL facilities, five gas plants, four refineries, two petrochemical […]
Metal loss of the pressurized tubes inside the boiler is a big concern for boiler designers and operators. Changing fuel composition and other service parameters can lead to accelerated erosion and corrosion, which needs to be mitigated using proven and robust materials. The power generation industry has been faced with increasing pressures from environmental agencies […]
