Power Services Group, Inc. (PSG) was contracted to perform a major inspection on an industrial Westinghouse steam turbine generator at a paper mill in the Midwest United States. PSG arrived and began mobilization activities. The office and tool containers were off-loaded and the turbine deck set up for the outage. The set-up personnel were safety orientated for the customer’s specific safety policy before work commenced.  During the project, a Safety Meeting was held prior to the start of any work. The Safety Meeting topics were based on work activities to be performed during the upcoming shift. In addition, hazardous observations which could impact the safety of the team were discussed and resolved.  Prior to performing work, a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) form was completed by the work team. This project had zero accidents and zero first aid incidents. 

The unit was taken offline and allowed to cool down over the weekend. The outage began after Lockout / tag out (LOTO) was accomplished. The instrumentation was removed by plant E&I personnel.  The V-1 and V-2 control valves were removed from the turbine casing and put on stands. The valves were disassembled and inspected and NDE was performed on the poppets and valve stems.  The casing bolts and dowels were removed from the HP and LP turbine casing.  An “as found” swing check was performed. The coupling TIR was recorded. The coupling bolts were removed, and the coupling separated. A 4-point face reading was recorded during disassembly.  The casing was rigged and jacked up, using jack bolts, about two inches and leveled bc.gamebefore total removal. The casing was removed and flipped to access the upper half diaphragms for removal. The thrust bearing clearance was checked before disassembly. A set of wheels and packing clearances were taken with the rotor in running position. The thrust bearing was disassembled, and the total float and strike points were recorded. A set of oil bore measurements were taken before removal of the turbine rotor.

The rotor was removed and prepped for blast cleaning and staged on the turbine deck. The upper half and lower half diaphragms were removed and staged on pallets for blast cleaning. The rotor and diaphragms were blast cleaned and NDE inspected.  The axial and side slips were recorded and found to be in tolerance. 

The generator field was removed from the generator stator for inspection. The electrical inspection of the generator was performed by a plant subcontractor.  Some minor cleaning was performed on the stator and rotor.   The generator coolers were disassembled, cleaned and vacuum tested; with no leaks found. The coolers were reassembled with new gaskets and tested before startup. 

The turbine and generator bearings were cleaned and dimensionally inspected. The bearings were UT’d to check for bonding issues with the base metal. The #2 journal bearing failed NDE. A new bearing was supplied by the customer and was installed.  The turbine and generator oil seals were cleaned and dimensionally inspected. The #3 inboard oil seal had excessive clearance. The oil seal was sent out for repair and final machining. 

The control valves were disassembled, cleaned and inspected. The valves were blue checked upon reassembly. The trip throttle valve was disassembled, cleaned and inspected. It was blue checked during reassembly to verify proper contact.  The spray chamber was disassembled, cleaned, and inspected.  The lube oil pumps were removed from the lube oil reservoir for inspection. The pumps were disassembled, cleaned, and inspected. PSG rebuilt the steam driven lube oil pump. The lube oil tank was cleaned by a plant subcontractor. The lube oil coolers were disassembled, cleaned and vacuum tested with no leaks noted. The lube oil system was flushed for 24 hrs. using the existing pumps. 

The unit was brought up and over speed tests were performed.  The mechanical bc game online casinotripped at 3970 rpms. The electrical tripped at 3792 rpms. The unit was put online and brought up to partial load.  PSG was released from the customer’s site.

Still considering performing a turbine outage this Fall or next Spring?

Regardless of whether or not your steam turbine is cycling or base load, it may be difficult to pinpoint when the next maintenance inspection should be performed.  We have a solution to help you determine when to schedule your next steam turbine inspection – providing peace bc.gameof mind that you are scheduling your maintenance outages when they are needed, not spending money too soon, and not waiting until its too late.

A Running Condition Assessment may provide you (or your insurance company) with the peace of mind that the unit is not nearing a failure point, and can continue to operate.  Alternatively, the Running Condition Assessment may tell you that an immediate outage should be scheduled to avoid a component failure.  The Running Condition Assessment can provide you with the information needed to properly schedule your next steam turbine outage.

  • A Running Condition Assessment allows us to assess the health of your turbine generator while the unit is in operation – no need to bring the unit offline.
  • This assessment typically includes one specialized technician and equipment at your facility for 3 – 5 days, minimizing the people and time on-site.
  • After completion of the Running Condition Assessment you will receive a detailed report on the current condition of your turbine, providing you with vital information for future decision-making. 
  • The cost of a Running Condition Assessment is negligible compared to the cost of a turbine outage.

Turbine Valve Seat Replacement

We recently completed a Valve Seat Replacement on a GE Steam Turbine.  In some cases the existing seat can be pulled, in the case shown below it was required to machine out the previous seat.  We perform many turbine valve seat replacements in the field, and can manufacture the components required at our Gainesville, Georgia Steam Turbine Valve facility.  This type of job requires specialty equipment, as well as highly skilled technicians.  It is a great example of the high quality craftsmanship that our customers have come to expect from all of our valve machining and component manufacturing services.

If you have any future valve seat replacement projects that you would like us to quote, please CLICK HERE to contact us.
