Safeguarding your plant
Predicting and preventing failures with IMI Insyt
Continuous cycling of spraywater systems in combined cycle power plants causes critical cracking, leading to shutdowns and unsafe conditions. IMI Insyt’s cloud-based platform uses data to predict and prevent these failures, protecting the plant and its personnel.Overcoming industry challenges
Common plant issues leading to cracking
Modern industrial plants face increased operational stresses due to frequent start-ups and shutdowns, driven by the growing reliance on renewable energy sources. IMI Insyt can help prevent these issues.
24 hour operation
Most plants were built to run at baseload with few starts and stops. Renewable energy supplies require plants to start and stop every day.
Condensate accumulation
Condensate accumulation can generate catastrophic failures in boiler piping and can impact the turbine.
Temperature gradients
If attemperators and desuperheaters are located too close to elbows, hot and cold streams can separate and cause large temperature gradients. This affects desuperheater performance and usage cycles.
Temperature control
Original plant control logic left over from commissioning can lead to significant problems with temperature control. This causes major thermal gradients and stresses.
