Power Generation

Power plants live on fluids. Feedwater, condensate, steam, cooling water, lubricants and fuel all have to be moved, measured and controlled with high availability, from boiler and turbine circuits to cooling towers and emissions control. Pumps, control valves, flow and level instruments and heat exchangers decide plant efficiency, and increasingly how well a plant follows a fluctuating grid.
