Modernize Your Power Plant’s Hydraulic Control
Aging hydraulic systems can increase cost, complexity and risk as plants extend operating life. Modern self-contained electrohydraulic actuators simplify turbine valve control, improve reliability, and lower lifecycle costs. See how upgrading your hydraulic system can boost performance and reduce risk. @Siemens_Energy #SiemensEnergy

Glassy, tool-breaking slag → hand-crushable ash.
That’s what a three-week trial on high-sodium PRB showed, using fuel-matched additives dosed upstream of the boiler.
Friability score: 4–5 untreated, 2–3 treated.

Slagging doesn’t announce itself. Deposits build, spray flows climb, gas temps creep up, until operators have to choose: hold load or derate.
One 500-MW #coal unit demonstrated how treating ash chemistry changes that choice.

🦃 ON THIS DAY, Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station Unit 3 first connected to the grid on this day back in 1972.
Units 3 and 4 generate enough electricity to power more than 900,000 homes in Florida.
1/5
Operators at one power plant said burning 5% sodium #coal for more than a few days without a derate was “impossible.”
A three-week field trial on a 500-MW coal unit says otherwise. The fix wasn’t a boiler rebuild. It was ash chemistry.
4/5
Cleaner walls restored combustion flexibility.
Burner-air dampers went from ~77% open to ~40%.
Result: SCR-inlet NOx ~34% lower and ammonia flow ~50% lower at comparable excess O₂.
5/5
A 30-MW slag derate in a low-price hour is a nuisance. In a winter peak, it’s a reliability event.
Is ash control the most overlooked dispatchability lever for the aging coal fleet?

The Handover Opportunity: Turning Investment Into Performance
Record capital investment and long equipment lead times are raising the stakes for power projects. As new assets move from commissioning into operation, success depends on more than getting them built. It requires ensuring critical information, context, and decisions move with them. Discover why getting the handover right is critical to turning capital investment into operational performance.
