Online Webinar on Power & Process Plant Boat Sampling, Inspection and Condition/ Life Assessment – 3 Oct, 10 am (UK time)

ETD’s forthcoming Webinar (Free Registration)

Power & Process Plant full Inspection, Boat Sampling and Condition/ Life Assessment

 

Hosts:

 

Dr Ahmed Shibli, Director

European Technology Development Ltd. (ETD), Leatherhead, Surrey, UK

Dr David Robertson, Plant Integrity Lead

European Technology Development Ltd. (ETD), Leatherhead, Surrey, UK

 

ETD is a UK based consulting company providing complete plant inspection and condition/ life assessment services to clients worldwide. In addition to the on-site plant services ETD has developed a number of guidelines for plant inspection, life assessment, boiler/HRSG and turbine preservation, flexible operation of fossil power plants, boiler tube failure management, P91 and P92 issues etc. ETD has also developed procedures and software such as CRACKFIT for crack assessment in industrial components, especially in boilers and turbines; BLAS (boiler life assessment software) and more.

ETD and its associates, such as KMTL and CRIEPI in Japan, have developed tools and procedures for creep testing of miniature and ultra miniature tensile specimen testing, and innovative portable electrical discharge ‘boat sampling’ equipment for quantitative life assessment of critical components in high temp. plant – non-destructively.

In this Webinar we will discuss issues involved in high temperature plant inspection, monitoring and life assessment, including some of the unique innovative techniques that we have developed through years of R&D in collaboration with our international industrial partners. 

Some of the above issues will be elaborated in this webinar.

If you wish to join this webinar then please email enquiries@etd-consulting.com with your name, organisation and place/ country. The MS Teams link will then be sent to you a few days prior to Webinar start date

Note: Please note that you don’t need to have the Teams App on your computer, simply click on the link that we will email to you and join the Webinar.

Launch of New Group Sponsored Project (GSP) – Scanning force microscope (SFM) on-site inspection of Gas Turbine Blades

ETD is launching a new 6-month duration multi-client Group Sponsored Project (GSP). This involves the use of ETD’s state of the art portable Scanning Force Microscope (SFM) for the on-site inspection of Gas Turbine blades for their gamma prime particle coarsening and blade condition assessment.  After some preliminary successful work in the laboratory on cut out pieces from a GT blade, we are encouraged to take this development to the next phase of optimising the etching, SFM image resolution parameters and developing some basic relationship parameters between the coarsening of the gamma prime precipitates and the blade condition.

 

This investigation should be of huge benefit to the GT blade manufacturers, plant owners and operators to have access to a new and innovative technology and tool that helps to non-destructively examine and assess the condition and life of GT blades saving significant costs.

Materials at High Temperatures, Volume 40, Issue 2 (2023)

A special issue of the journal ‘Materials at High Temperature’ has been published based on the proceedings of the ETD’s MIMA-2 Int. Conference held on 11-13 October 2022. The conference brought together researchers, scientists, and industry experts from around the world to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in the field of materials at high temperatures. The special issue of the journal includes papers presented at the conference, covering a wide range of topics such as  Plant life assessment,  Normalising temperature selection for creep performance, Residual life assessment of critical piping systems, and Plant Inspection and maintenance. The issue serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners interested in the field.
