Unexpected Damage in Steam Path Components
Steam Turbines operate for extended campaign periods ranging from 3 to 9 years with little invasive inspection. Minor inspections of auxiliary components such as valves and gearboxes do occur but most of the daily, monthly, and yearly inspections are of external systems looking for visible degradation
Vibration and Performance Monitoring
Improvements of vibration monitoring systems mean issues within the power and energy industry are being detected before a complete failure occurs.

Industrial Boilers for Power Generation: Issues Relating to Fuel Oil Use
Industrial boilers in power stations and petrochemical plants produce steam for use both in power generation and as process steam. In these types of plant, the boilers are often fuelled using coal, oil or gas. Burning coal and oil generates ash, which requires periodic removal from the boiler in order to maintain efficient boiler operation.
