limits at higher energy output levels.
Based on analysis, the customer’s OEM Steam Dryers would be insufficient to handle the energy output at EPU (Extended Power Uprate) conditions.
Continuing the use of OEM Steam Dryers would result in flow induced vibration, acoustic resonance, and increased pressure drop at higher loads, resulting in damaged Steam Dryers and excessive moisture carry-over that would reduce the plant power output.
In order to realize the return on investment on power uprates a new solution was required.
