Maintaining end-of-life equipment
Didcot is one of the UK coal fired power stations scheduled for decommissioning and engineers are charged with keeping aging equipment running and meeting environmental targets without any significant maintenance expenditure during these final years.
A major challenge has been keeping the vertical axis coal crushing mills running, and the installation of Magnom Inline Core units has eliminated expensive transmission failures and demonstrated the suitability of Magnom technology to protect the similar open gear transmissions used in the vertical axis coal mills across the globe.
Cleaning furnace fuel
Towngas, a Hong Kong based utility company was having problems with contamination in the naphtha fuel (a hydrocarbon) used to fuel a large furnace. The system’s resin type filters were allowing fine rust to pass through.
A Magnom Inline Process Unit was installed downstream of the filters and inspected after 6 weeks. It was found during inspection that only the first 2 of 20 Magnom cores in the unit were full of rust. This proven efficiency enabled operators to schedule an extended service interval of 6 months, resulting in significant savings for the plant.
Cleaning heavy duty transmissions
Rugeley’s coal fired power station produces approximately 1,000 megawatts of electricity for the UK grid. It had been experiencing up to 6 failures per annum of the gearboxes on their coal crushing mills before fitting Magnom filters on all 15 coal crushers’ gearboxes.
The highly -viscous lube oil used in the gearboxes precluded the use of barrier filtration, so engineers had been relying on strainers and bar magnets until they discovered Magnom technology and were able to virtually eliminate these failures.
