Integrating sensors into your feed mill allows you to capture, collect and monitor data that can be used to enhance production. You have probably seen the terms IoT and Industry 4.0 mentioned here and there throughout manufacturing. The concepts are not new. Many industries have already started to adapt the techniques; however, interest is starting to take hold within animal ...
Do you know how to turn data into information that can improve productivity, reduce costs, and increase efficiency? Understanding the importance of data and analytical tools is your solution to fine-tune your operations. Interpreting Your Data Similar to a visit to the doctor and narrowing down the possible diagnosis’s by running tests; your Feed Mill can be monitored in a ...
Challenge: Customer complained of high back pressure in their condensate system. He believed that the problem was failed steam traps. Solution: Bruce tested the 250 steam traps and found a failure rate of 23 percent. Around each steam trap was a bypass valve. Failed steam traps did indeed have a direct bearing on the problem he was called into solve: Abnormally High Back Pressure in the ...
The term “industrial fabrics” covers a broad range of products comprised of high-performance raw textiles with a choice of end-use formats. This versatility enables one underlying material to service many different industries. For example, fiberglass can be modified to satisfy the requirements of applications in practically every market, from domestic to industrial insulation. ...
Industrial fabrics are engineered for high-performance in demanding working environments, where adverse conditions can cause the gradual breakdown of integral components. There are many aggravating phenomena to contend with in modern industrial spaces: corrosion via process materials, differential pressures, high temperatures, humidity, mechanical forces, etc. Many components and processes must ...
Witness the relatively common boiler tube failures caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) and the premature failure of steam turbine bypass gate valve inspection. Similar problems with feedwater valves have been experienced at several combined cycle plants with different types of steam turbines and heat recovery ...
Common valves in water system of heating air condition include gate valve, globe valve and butterfly valve. ...
The High–Temperature Gas–cooled Reactor (HTGR) is designed with outlet temperatures ranging between 750°C and 800°C. These high outlet temperatures enhance the power production efficiency and facilitate a variety of industrial applications. The objective of this study is to understand the response of the primary system to potential transients in the secondary system. For this analysis, the ...
Northwood pulp and Timber Company in Prince George British Columbia, was plagued with a problem of violent vibrations and banging when heating a large volume paper machine chest with a conventional steam sparger. The tank walls were lined with ceramic tiles which were cracking, sections were coming off the wall due to the vibration from the collapsing steam ...
This paper proposes a fuzzy based steam diversion valve to divert the steam to a storage tank during the occurance of a fault in a power system in order to improve stability of the system. The advantages of this technique over fast valving are discussed. The rate of opening and closing of valve are decided by the ...
Scaling caused by hard water is an expensive problem .. not only do significant financial costs arise trying to prevent it or removing the effects of it but in addition there is a huge environmental; cost to many of the treatments used against it.! Water softeners put so much salt into the environment that they are now being banned in some parts of the USA. Chemicals, as we all know, are not ...
Over the last century steam traps have developed with various automatic valve arrangements using buckets, floats, thermostatic and thermodynamic valve arrangements. These traps all have moving parts which, in time, fail either, Closed - causing water-logging, corrosion and in some cases water hammer, or Open - leaking live steam and energy. Additionally when such traps fail open and ...
The Boiler Feed Water, if in equilibrium with the atmosphere, may contain significant levels of corrosive gases, mainly carbon dioxide and oxygen, the concentration of which has to be strictly controlled to avoid corrosion in the boiler and steam circuit. In high-pressure plants dissolved oxygen should be reduced to levels of negligibility. ...
