Considerations for safe and effective design of feedwater heaters
Accounting for dry wall safety margins will impact estimates for condensing area and desuperheating area within the heater
Consider classroom training for plant operators
Course materials are specially focused on the safe, environmentally sound and efficient operations of a processing facility
Smart actuators can prevent valve failure during critical events
They enable partial stroke testing (PST) and ensure the PST signal doesn't interfere with a simultaneous emergency shutdown signal
