Power Plant Applications
Auxiliary Boilers
These Low Pressure Boilers are used for base load steam or emergency power. Also, they are used for steam heat tracing. These boilers are generally manufactured to comply with the requirements of the ASME Boiler Code or applicable Codes for the country of installation.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Chemical Storage Tanks
The chemicals in these tanks are used for treatment and injection at various stages of the steam generation cycle to maintain safe operation of the plant.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Condensers
The Condenser receives water from steam turbine lines, which initiates the feedwater cycle. The rate of condensate formation can be up to 6,000 gallons per minute.
Drain Lines
Steam condensate drain lines in power applications are often routed to condensate pots with level switch controls to actuate drain valves, in an effort to control energy losses.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Feedwater Heaters
Feedwater Heaters are activated with steam that is extracted from various stages of the turbine, so the water will gain temperature with contribution from each stage.
Fuel Gas Filtration
Natural gas is processed through several stages of filtration to remove solid and liquid contaminants to the proper levels to protect the downstream gas turbine generator.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Gas Gathering Stations
Gas from numerous production wells is collected together at a common site where it may be treated or filtered before putting the gas into a common pipeline for transport to a processing facility.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Hot or Cold Reheat Lines
These pipe lines are found on steam extraction and waste heat recovery applications on power boilers.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Hydraulic Systems
Hydraulic Systems are used to provide power to valves and other critical equipment.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Oil Tanks
Oil Tanks are used for storage of new and used lube oil.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Steam Drums
The Steam Drum is where steam is extracted for plant use. The water level is observed and maintained by plant operators for safe operation by preventing water carry over or events due to low water conditions. Steam Drums vary in capacity and pressure up to 3000 PSI.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Transformers
Transformers change electricity from one voltage to another
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Blowdown Tanks
Tanks are used for the safe discharge of steam and condensate routed from the boiler drums and instrument drain lines, during the blowdown processes conducted by plant operators.
Condensate Tanks
Condensate Tanks are used for the collection of condensate from plant steam processes. The condensate collected in these tanks is generally circulated back into the plant to conserve energy.
Deaerators
Deaerators are used for the make-up water and eliminate dissolved air from the water, purifying the water & reducing its corrosiveness. Chemicals such as hydrazine and ammonia are also added at this stage to further control oxygen pH and acidity
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Drip Legs
Drip Legs provide a safe discharge path for condensate that forms in steam pipelines. Drip Legs are critical, as a flooded drip leg could send condensate to the turbine, causing extreme damage.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Forced Draft Fans
These fans are used to supply the air required for the combustion of fuel, as well as to control the flue gas. In the event these fans trip (shut down), the boiler will trip, as well.
Gas Compressor Stations
Gas compressors are installed in the fuel gas lines to the turbine to boost the pressure when necessary to ensure that the gas is at the proper pressure to enable the gas turbine to function properly.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Gas Turbines
The gas turbine burns natural gas as fuel to spin the turbine and generate electricity. The turbine also generates heat that may be used to generate steam which will be fed to the steam turbine to generate additional power.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Hot Wells
Hot Wells are associated with each condenser and are operated with a maintained level for recirculating pumps to operate properly.
Lubrication Systems
Lubrication Systems provide lube oil to critical rotating equipment, such as bearings, gears, etc.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Pumps
Pumps are part of Hydraulic and Lubrication Systems, delivering oil to critical components through piping, tubing, or hoses.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Turbines
Turbines generate the electricity that is sent to the nation’s power grid. Steam flow from the Steam Drum is used to drive, or turn, the Turbine.
CLARK-RELIANCE PRODUCTS EMPLOYED:
Water Treatment
The water in power boiler applications is typically chemically treated in an effort to reduce its corrosive properties to extend the life of the piping and all related equipment.
