Our Services
We have the professional chemical engineering knowledge & on-the-job experience to help your plant.
Cycle chemistry performance
We provide assistance in ensuring the right metrics are being monitored by chemists & operators. How well are you managing the risks of flexible operations and the potential of chemically induced asset damage? Can you confidently demonstrate competence in cycle chemistry management to meet the requirements of AS/NZS3788 – Pressure Equipment – In-service Inspection for Risk Based Inspection (RBI) for boiler re-certification?
Flexible operations
To meet the challenges of flexible operations requirements due to the rapidly changing electricity market, generating assets are required to perform outside their original design. Lower loads, faster start-ups, faster ramping, wet & dry lay-ups, long-term storage. Advice on the flexible operations and the subsequent chemical effects on condensers, condensate and feedwater systems, boilers and turbines needs to be from someone who understands the whole power plant, not just some of the chemical areas. Power Plant Chemical Engineering has a unique range of cross-functional power plant experience.
Bulk hazardous chemicals
We can provide assistance in preparing bulk hazardous chemical manifests & compliance with state-based WHS legislation.
Documentation
Sounds boring, but how often are voluminous plant limit guidelines created for operators that are NOT easy to read, or technical specifications for new equipment or work that does not CLEARLY state what contractors must deliver, or training information that you need a chemical degree to understand. Making these types of documentation easy to read, or contractually manageable is not as easy as it first seems. We have the experience to deliver what is right for your plant and personnel.
Training, mentoring, on-call technical support
We can provide training for new operators or chemists that has authenticity in the content because it is based on experience in the field. Training that is understandable and delivers what personnel need to know so they can take action when required. We can deliver technical and professional mentoring for new graduates which may not be available at your site. Power Plant Chemical Engineering has demonstrated skills in building an award winning chemical team. We can also provide on-call technical advice which may not be available at some sites.
