SYSTEMS FOR EFFICIENCY AND RELIABILITY.

Company Profile

Turbo Dynamics specializes in the design, operation and maintenance of industrial and large commercial energy and utility systems. Turbo Dynamics has more than thirty-four years experience in optimization of energy systems and minimizing operating costs. Our fields of specialty are as follows;

Steam Turbines; Our expertise and extensive training allow us to perform the following consultation regarding these areas for both process (Back-pressure) and condensing turbines

Blade Path and Efficiency analysis
System Inspections and upgrades
Overall Performance Review for Optimization
Turbine Re-rating
Turbine Nozzle Tuning for Maximum Efficiency.
Condenser Performance Analysis
Turbine Modifications; (Added Extraction Ports, Regenerative Feed Water Heating, Etc.)
Cost Savings Analysis
Resolve Maintenance Issues

Boilers/Steam Generators: Our experience in steam generation ranges from saturated steam for process to high pressure superheated steam for power generation. Our extensive knowledge includes waste to energy, converting hogged, wet waste wood, dry sawdust as well as coconut shells into process or high pressure/temperature steam. Our familiarity includes but is not limited to the following:

Gaseous, Liquid and Solid Fuel Delivery systems
All Boiler Types and Designs; Water tube, Fire Tube
Solid Fuel Combustion Air Systems; Fuel Conveyance, Under fire Air, Over Fire Air, Induced Draft Air Systems
All Burn Systems; Suspension Burners, Grate Burn Systems, Gasification and Low NOX
Solid Fuel Metering Systems
Flue Gas Cleaning Systems
Ash Collection and Disposal
Fine Tuning of Combustion for Low Emissions and No Opacity
Flue Gas Analyzer systems

STEAM AND CONDENSATE SYSTEMS: Efficient use of energy means a smooth, non-cyclic steam flow to process, where all or most condensate returns back to the boiler system. "Saw tooth" patterns of steam flow can be caused by many things. "Water Hammer" and leaking pipes are also signs of less than optimum piping designs. Elimination of these problems has been a main focus of ours since the late 70's. Steam and condensate piping design requires an intimate understanding of Bi-phase flow systems. Major areas of focus for a smooth system include the following areas;

Appropriate use of steam trap types depending on application
Proper placement of steam trapping components
Steam control valve sizing and port style
Elimination of system "Water Logging" with condensate
Appropriate use of vacuum breakers without the admission of air into the system
Complete removal of condensate, even under vacuum conditions
Use and placement of appropriate condensate retrieval equipment
Avoiding use of steam pressure for condensate removal from batch process
Continuous removal of condensate from throttling processes at sub-atmospheric conditions
