Preserve the integrity of the water-steam circuit

The constant contact of water and steam with pipes in boilers, heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), condensers and turbine blades can cause equipment deposits/scaling and corrosion, affecting the availability of the water-steam system.

Our expertise in the field

We offer a standardized and modular steam/water quality control solution (SWAS) which enables the measurement of critical parameters like specific and cationic conductivity, pH, silica dissolved oxygen (DO) and sodium.

Avoid any legal disputes on steam measurement

When a new power plant does not produce the thermal efficiency specified in the contract, the boiler supplier and the turbine manufacturer may disagree about the amount of steam supplied. Thus, the use of an agreed standard (ISO 5167) and a dp-flow primary element, e.g. orifice plate, venturi tube and nozzle, ensure that 3rd party experts can easily validate the meter, the set-up and the design calculations for the steam volume or mass.

Our differential pressure (DP) flow competence team is at your disposal for any of your requests.

Automate pH measurements in flue gas desulfurization (FGD)

The pH value is very important for a properly functioning flue gas cleaning system – ultimately, it is used to regulate the feed rate of sorbents such as hydrated lime (Ca[OH]2) and limestone (CaCO3). Scrubber efficiency is highly dependent on the pH. It must be high enough that the sulfur dioxide (SO2) is reliably bonded. If it is too high, however, lime will be wasted, and the gypsum will be contaminated.

Our expertise in the field

Under these conditions, we recommend automating the cleaning and calibration of the pH sensors.

Stop questioning your steam measurement

Measuring steam mass and energy requires correct compensation and sufficient inlet runs to obtain optimum results. Although steam is excluded from international custody transfer standards like OIML, there is a need for precise and reliable measurements.

Our expertise in the field

Our complete flow metering solutions for steam metering (compressed air, natural gas, etc.) is factory configured for energy metering or mass flow. It accurately measures steam across the entire range and allows suitable billing-relevant measuring points and custody transfer metering.

Save planning, procurement, mounting and maintenance costs

Displacers have been used in the past for level measurement in the condenser/hotwell, HP/LP feedwater heaters, flash and surge tanks. The output often varies due to accuracy, density variations, and installation differences.

Our expertise in the field

We provide guided wave radar (GWR) devices mounted in a bypass chamber that provide an optimum solution for such measuring tasks and offer numerous benefits.

Increase the performance of your Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant

The temperature at the boiler ceiling, superheaters and burnout zone of an WtE plant requires a high degree of measurement accuracy and control. Specific and innovative thermowell and protection tube materials are also required to resist exposure to aggressive fumes of combustion and high temperature oxidizing the environment.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy’s thermowells and protection tubes are outfitted with the right material for such applications.
