ABB analyzer system to ensure the operation of power plants

At present, according to the report of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), half of the forced energy storage and transportation loss in a power plant is caused by sewage erosion of the boiler. ABB has its own solution to this problem. According to EPRI's study, using effective control of the steam chemical reaction process, plant personnel can improve plant thermal efficiency and profitability and reduce maintenance costs. The agency is an independent not-for-profit organization that studies energy and the environment, and its members represent 90% of the power generation industry in the United States. The report shows that, in contrast, poor water vapor purity can lead to corrosion damage and waste deposition on major components, which can lead to damage to turbine blades in boiler and inlet pipelines, as well as accelerated fluid erosion. Generators may also suffer from the same problem. As a leading supplier of analyzer products, systems and solutions to the power, water and processing industries, ABB is helping to monitor and maintain the purity of water and steam in related businesses.

Forging

Forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping metal using localised compressive forces. It is one of the oldest known metalworking processes, traditionally performed by a blacksmith with a hammer and anvil. Nowadays, this technique is carried out using powered equipment such as hydraulic presses, hammer mills, or forge presses, which exert much higher forces and are capable of producing more complex shapes and finer details.

Its process can be categorised into three main types:

1. Cold Forging

Performed at or near room temperature, which increases the strength of the metal through work hardening. It is typically used for smaller parts and can produce a high surface finish and excellent dimensional control.

2. Warm Forging

Carried out at temperatures between room temperature and about half the metal`s melting point. This process offers a good balance between the ease of shaping and the final properties of the metal, making it suitable for parts requiring moderate strength and precision.

3. Hot Forging

Performed at temperatures above the metal`s recrystallisation temperature. This method allows for the shaping of large and complex parts, as the high temperatures increase metal ductility and reduce resistance to deformation. Hot forging is commonly used for steel, aluminium, and brass.
