CMI_Logo.png

Specific topics to be addressed will include:

  • Major deficiencies in current HRSG design

  • Inspection protocols and best practices

  • Root cause analysis prior to HRSG repair

  • HRSG perfomance recovery

  • How to recover and revamp boilers to adequate mechanical and operations behaviour

  • Boilers and diverter dampers - Examples of recent analysis, modelling, upgrades and proven construction solutions

  • Remaining life time assessment

  • Boiler stress analysis - hardware and software to optimize boiler performance and minimize consequences of cycling HRSG operation

  • Root cause determination to identify solutions to pressure part leakage issues

  • Impact of GT upgrade, how to adapt old HRSG with adequate redesign and assessments for expected new performances

In this informative webinar, Habib Grini, Aftermarket Services & Construction Manager from CMI, will review key elements comprising successful inspections, remaining life analysis, redesign for upgrading and fabrication of HRSG components.

Below are some of the questions discussed during the webinar:

  • For pressure parts or large capital upgrades, does CMI provide installation services or use a third party?

  • What are the common problems experienced when HRSGs operate on a non-design basis, such as baseloaded plants operating intermittently?

  • What lifetime calculation code does CMI use? Is your software approved by a certification body like TUV or Lloyd's? How do you integrate operating data?

  • What effects on efficiency have you seen from poor weather dampers, and what methods would you recommend for ensuring the weather dampers are airtight?

  • Why has CMI chosen to provide dry ice cleaning services, and what advantages does this method have compared to other cleaning methods such as sand blasting?

  • What is the standard methodology that you usually use for RBI (Risk-Based Inspection)?

  • Has CMI calibrated its BSE software based on practical experiences and remaining life estimation techniques such as using replicas and inspections? What is the maximum difference between software results and actual cases?

  • As part of your turnkey solution, do you include complete re-certification of pressure parts/boiler (ASME stamped, for example) after pressure testing?
