Understand how our customers have reduced their startup times by 20 minutes.
CHASE International are delighted to announce The GT26 Valve Innovation and Optimisation Workshops, to be held in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area, on 24th-28th September 2018.
The Valve Innovation and Optimisation Workshops are a series of presentations and seminars, in conjunction with our partners Advanced Valve Solutions. The speakers include industry experts and experienced engineers. They are designed for people who require an understanding of the impact that changes in operation can have on operation costs, plant availability, valve reliability, controllability, maintenance intervals and life time expectancy.
The workshops are aimed at enlightenment and are not simply a ‘sell’ of products etc, rather an understanding of fundamental and innovative designs solutions to known problems within the process industries.
Valve Innovation and Optimisation Workshop
I am interested in receiving more information about the workshop.
Changes in power station operational demands, in recent years, have produced significant impact on plant operational costs, with an emphasis on valve reliability and overall station efficiency, maintenance and valve controlability. We discuss in detail how we can offer an alternative view on advancements in preferred materials and innovation in valve design all being impacted on by dual shift and stop/start requirements.
The workshop provides a unique insight into the commonly occurring problems with dual shifting (stop/start) power plants. These include the impact on both isolation and control valves.
Many design, project and maintenance engineers have benefitted from Valve Innovation and Optimisation Workshops by applying the knowledge gained and understanding preventative measures that can be applied to reduce plant down time, operational costs and increase station efficiency.
Programme
In addition to OTC Valves your workshop will also cover;
- Control Valves
- Attemperators/Desuperheaters (Cooled)
- Bypass stations, HP, IP, TAL
- On/Off Valves
- Drain Valves
The program included opportunities to discuss specific topics and asks questions.
This educational event is offered free of charge to engineers working in the power industry. Participants are responsible for their own travel arrangements and costs.
If you would like more information about this event, please complete the form, send us an email to source@chaseint.co.uk or call our UK Head Office on +44 (0) 1925 755221.

Improving waste to energy plant performance
Case Study 2 Improving Waste to Energy Plant Performance by replacing frequently failing thermowells. Background OEM specified thermowells were failing every 1 to 2 months. Due to the location, the removal/replacement process was challenging, time consuming and expensive. Measuring task Thermocouples were installed to monitor the very high temperatures in the ceiling and the second…

What are thermowells made of?
What are thermowells made of? Well, that depends on the application! For many applications stainless steel is the most cost effective and suitable material, however for corrosive or erosive environments more resistant materials are more cost effective. The issue with thermowells made from inadequately specified materials in a harsh environment is that they quickly fail…

How long is a thermowell?
If you look on most websites, you will see a range of sizes from 100mm to 500mm. Sometimes, however, that’s not long enough. Sometimes, it’s not even close! This roof mounted thermowell is 3m long! It was manufactured by our partners BKW Instruments, based only a few miles from CHASE HQ in Manchester, England. Some…
