Plant integrity
Plant integrity can be leveraged when it is integrated with non-destructive testing technologies and structural and metallurgical analysis
To properly manage the purchase, operation and maintenance of advanced power plant equipment it is crucial to have accurate information on the structural integrity and useful operating life of key components.
The availability of validated assessment methods enables structural routine integrity assessments to be performed as aids to:
When integrated with metallurgical analysis, non-destructive inspection technologies and structural analysis, plant integrity can be leveraged to:
assess the effect of operation on plant life and availability
manage maintenance schedules and key component replacement
justify limited operation of cracked or damaged components
understand the root cause of failues and simulate changes to component design or plant operation.
