In a typical thermal power plant, the boiler feed water (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator and discharges to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal operation, the deaerator ...

Boiler feed pumps (BFPs) play a major role in the capacity and heat rate of a power-generating unit. As such, they merit routine performance testing to assess their condition and trend deficiencies to ...

Carbon fiber enables KASE Pumping Systems to eliminate corrosion and increase durability, including a high-capacity 6,500-gpm ...

As addressed in an earlier article of this series, centrifugal pumps are the most common pumps in a process plant, and an operator’s understanding of how these systems work often will impact how much ...

Everybody likes a quiet pump — one that just does its job and doesn’t break down often. But a noisy pump raises concern. Although the noise is often attributed to cavitation, not every noisy pump is ...

In a typical steam power plant, the boiler feedwater (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator (DA) and discharges high-pressure water to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal ...
