Upgrading Tank Level Monitoring at a Power Plant in Qatar
A power plant in Qatar initially used traditional float-and-tape level gages for tank level monitoring. To improve accuracy and visibility, especially given the tank design—4.5 meters underground and 5.5 meters above ground—we collaborated with the customer to upgrade to a Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicator (MLI) with NightStar® LED illumination. The MLI provided reliable, continuous level monitoring, while the NightStar illumination ensured clear visibility in al

Powering the Transition: Coalescing Filter Vessels for Efficient Turbine Operations
Last week, we delivered three (3) ACF-12-36-725 Coalescing Filter Vessels to a custom air and gas compression solutions provider in the Western U.S. These filters will ultimately serve an electric utility in the Southeastern U.S., which is transitioning from coal-burning units to cleaner turbine systems for power generation. Combustion turbines operate similarly to jet engines: air is compressed, combined with natural gas or oil, and ignited. The resulting high-temperature ga

MLI upgrade at a waste-to-energy plant in the Midwest US
We recently did an upgrade at a waste-to-energy plant in the Midwest US from a traditional glass gage to a Jerguson® Magnicator® Magnetic Level Indicator on their deaerator tank. Steam from the deaerator tank can cause leaking issues on glass gages - making the switch from a glass gage to a magnetic level indicator an easy and reliable upgrade. Check out the before and after photos below. For more information on our Magnetic Level Indicators, email us at jergusonapp@clark-rel

Safety Ballcheck Valves that Reduce Fugitive Emissions for EPA Emission Compliance
THE PROBLEM: Power Plants, Chemical Plants, and Refineries have a large number of potential leak sources that can release harmful Fugitive Emissions (FEs) into the environment. This can pose a variety of risks at a facility such as: Damage to the environment Exposing plant personnel to harmful gases / vapors Economic impacts due to loss of product As a result, regulations are becoming increasingly strict. Many facilities are proactively requiring that any valves procured in f

Virtual or onsite boiler surveys and walkdowns
We recently did a boiler walkdown at a power plant in the Caribbean. After surveying the HRSG’s, we observed that many of the gages were neglected or out of service. After discussions with plant personnel, they found value in replacing their old gages, especially the bicolor gage located at the HP drum, with Simpliport® 180 Bi-Color Ported Water Gage Glasses. The HP drum is the primary drum in the HRSG. The air/heat flow through the ductwork is closely monitored for safe and
