In power plants, often the last priority of design is how to maintain it. Power plants are like anything else. They need repair. They need to be maintained.
With over 30 years of power plant experience, our company designs maintenance needs into power plants designs or retrofits. We make sure that when a project is specified, it is specified to last. When the cost is analyzed, we focus on the “total cost”, not just the capital costs.
Similarly for a heat rate, critical components must be considered for their effect on the plant heat rate and cost of operation. Anything that requires an outage or increases the risk for a forced outage needs to be identified in the “total cost” perspective. The “cheapest” pump, valve, heat exchanger, is not really “cheaper” if it costs you more! Experience matters and can save you big money!
