The Power Generation category contains case studies and blogs related to ITM’s power generation machinery engineering and testing services.
The tool we most commonly use for real-time embedded process monitoring and control applications is the NI CompactRIO. These controllers allow us to embed algorithms that acquire and analyze high-speed process sensor data and then output derived key performance indicators (KPIs) to other control systems. Most of the…
The US patent office has recently awarded patents to ITM for (2) two of the underlying boiler safety and process optimization technologies embedded within our CDS and SHOP systems. These systems monitor boiler conditions and alert operators when boiler tube damaging events/conditions occur. Clinker Detection System (CDS) –…
Check out my article “Putting a HALT to Hazardous Hopper Maintenance” in the May 2018 edition of Power Magazine. This article describes a system for detecting dangerous plugging conditions inside ash hoppers. Ash hoppers are used in the power industry to collect hot ash from utility boilers. –…
Check out the article “Increase the IQ of Your Intelligent Sootblowing” by my colleague Mark Yeager in the December edition of Power Magazine. In this article, Mark describes ITM’s Sootblower Fouling Detection (SFD) technology which allows for targeted sootblowing, by pinpointing exactly when and where sootblowing is required…
ITM’s president Tim Carlier (tim.carlier@iTestSystem.com) is presenting its Superheater Overheat Protection (SHOP) technology at the Spring 2017 Black Liquor Recovery Boiler Advisory Committee (BLRBAC) Meeting in Atlanta, GA on April 12th. SHOP helps boiler operators avoid short term overheat failures of recovery boiler superheater tubes. ITM will also introduce…
Quantifying stress, strain and force within a structure using real world strain gauge measurements is commonly used to verify FEA models and estimate a component’s fatigue life. Our engineers and technicians have planned and implemented challenging strain gauge installations for our customers around the globe. Information from these strain gauge installations has allowed our customers…
