Annual Buyers Guide

Focus on: Water & Waste Management Energy, the Environment & Water Annual Buyers’ Guide 2020 www.pwemag.co.uk Plant & Works Engineering | 33 chamber was full of water, preventing it from operating. This, combined with the PRV failures, had led to the blowers becoming distressed very quickly; only the proper function of the remaining PRV had prevented the last blower meeting the same fate. The unloading valve was stripped and cleaned, but the recommendation was to replace all of the PRVs as well as the unloading valve to be sure the blower circuit would continue to function reliably. With over 15 years of service, these valves had performed well, but without a regular maintenance schedule, their operating condition remained unchecked. Delivering the solution While the on-site investigation was completed, the engineering team at the Bristol Service Center removed the damaged rotors and, using OEM drawings, machined the rotors and the casing back to original dimensions, ensuring the correct clearances were provided. The blowers were reassembled and returned to site, where they were reinstalled. The Sulzer engineers compiled a field report for the customer that detailed the findings of the investigation and recommended implementing a maintenance routine for the PRVs, the unload valve and the non-return valves, to ensure continued, reliable operation. Matt concludes: “Without the on-site investigation, we could have just repaired the blowers and they would have continued to fail. The combination of our technical expertise and application knowledge has been invaluable in resolving this issue and ensuring long-term reliability for our customer.” Excessive heat build-up caused the blower rotors to seize • Steam boilers 150-15,880kg/hr • Hot water boilers 30-8,000kW/hr • Pressures from 7-17 bar • Oil, gas or dual fuel • Long or short term hire • Full commissioning service • 24/7 support SALES ● HIRE ● EXPORT +44 (0)1992 451629 www.kingsboilerhire.com The UK's largest provider of industrial Steam and Hot Water boiler plant.
