Balance Of Plant (BOP) Solutions

Without responsive controls that account for cycling, SCRs may experience inadequate temperature control and increased ammonia slip. These consequences can result in damaging ammonia salts downstream or emission of ammonium chloride or gaseous ammonia—along with regulator fines and penalties. Updating control strategies and automation equipment, particularly critical flow technologies will ensure the unit operates efficiently regardless of cycling.

Electrical equipment is typically inspected manually and is conducted infrequently. It is those times in between inspections that a plant is at risk. Catastrophic consequences can occur from poor contact, loosening connection, wear/tear, corrosion, and humidity. For example, in ISO phase ducts, insulation breakdown, and loose electrical connections can be difficult to detect and can result in serious injury and expensive equipment damage. Deploying an continuous monitoring strategy for electrical condition monitoring will mitigate these risks and eliminate the need for manual inspections.

Problems with pumps can force a derate or even take a plant offline. Understanding when there is a problem before this occurs is the key to better plant availability. Unfortunately, studying overall vibration provides little to no warning about equipment damage or impending failure. Installing a continuous monitoring system with PeakVue technology gives automated diagnostic alerts in your control system and advanced warning of developing problems, all without the need for vibration analysis experience.
