Restoring Control After a Costly Startup Setback

Restoring Control After a Costly Startup Setback

When a power plant restarted after an outage, a recently repaired triple element boiler feedwater valve failed to perform as designed. Control instability and leakage slowed startup, forced manual intervention, and created a four-day delay, followed by months of degraded efficiency that weighed on schedules and operations.

By replacing improperly machined components with OEM valve parts and reassembling and calibrating the valve to original specifications, control performance was verified across the full operating range. The result: stable, predictable operation, eliminated efficiency losses, and renewed trust in a critical asset, underscoring why OEM integrity matters for reliability and performance.


Read the full story to see how restoring OEM integrity eliminated ongoing efficiency losses and returned reliable control to a critical valve.
