Turbine Valve Seat Replacement

/in , /by

We recently completed a Valve Seat Replacement on a GE Steam Turbine.  In some cases the existing seat can be pulled, in the case shown below it was required to machine out the previous seat.  We perform many turbine valve seat replacements in the field, and can manufacture the components required at our Gainesville, Georgia Steam Turbine Valve facility.  This type of job requires specialty equipment, as well as highly skilled technicians.  It is a great example of the high quality craftsmanship that our customers have come to expect from all of our valve machining and component manufacturing services.

G2 Main Control Valves

/in , /by

 

We recently overhauled the main control valves for a GE G2 Steam Turbine rated approximately 550MWs.  In this instance, we removed the control valves and shipped them to our Gainesville, Georgia Steam Valve Repair facility for disassembly, cleaning, and inspection.  If any of the components are in need of repair we can make them right there at this facility.  We can even reverse engineer and replace worn components if the situation requires it.  Once the inspection (and repairs if necessary) is complete the valves are shipped back to site for reassembly by the outage team.  Continuous communication between the site and shop personnel is critical to maintaining schedule and ensuring all expectations are met or exceeded.   The end result is another satisfied customer with properly maintained valve components.

We recently completed a Control Valve Seat Replacement on a GE Steam Turbine.  In some cases the existing seat can be pulled, in the case shown below it was required to machine out the previous seat.  We also machined out the existing pins, manufactured new pins and seat, and installed the new components during the execution of this project.  We perform many turbine valve seat replacements in the field, and can manufacture the components required at our Gainesville, Georgia Steam Turbine Valve facility.  This type of job requires specialty equipment, as well as highly skilled technicians.  It is a great example of the high quality craftsmanship that our customers have come to expect from all of our valve machining and component manufacturing services.

Steam Turbine Valve Inspections

We recently performed work for a U.S. utility on one of their Main Stop Valves for a GE Steam Turbine.  We can perform valve inspections on-site or in our dedicated steam turbine valve facility in Gainesville, Georgia.  If the valves are inspected at our Gainesville facility we have the ability to make any necessary repairs, reverse engineer and manufacture components, as well as offer material upgrades for longer service life.  We also have an in-house nitriding furnace that allows to control the schedule and provide quick turnarounds on any parts that require a nitrided surface.   We have full capabilities to provide our customers with a turnkey valve service and help extend the life of your steam turbine valves.
