Preservation Through Purging

Problem:
Power plants frequently store replacement components to minimize the duration of planned service outages, as well as unplanned outages; when equipment is offline utilities must procure electricity from other suppliers, a less cost effective way of servicing customers.

Some replacement components, such as turbine rotors, are held in storage for years and need to be in perfect (non-corroded) condition when an unforeseen circumstance requires they are put into service.

But how do you go about preserving such a high-value, long lead time part like a rotor…for 15 years? That’s where Dockside comes in.
