Intertek Presents at the International Pressure Equipment Integrity Association (IPEIA) Conference and Exhibition
10 Feb 2025
Intertek will be presenting at this year’s 2025 International Pressure Equipment Integrity Association (IPEIA) the week of February 24 – 27 at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Jasper, Alberta, Canada
Intertek Power Generation Technical Direct, Tom Burnett, will present the Case Study – Cold Reheat Non-Return Valve Failure
Tuesday, Feb. 25th, from 2:15 PM – 3:00 PM in Ballroom A
This case study describes the root causes of a failed cold reheat non-return valve by a condensate-induced water hammer due to improper condensate management. It includes the description of the piping system, operating practices, events concerning the failure, the subsequent damages and repairs, causes of the failure, and mitigation strategies to prevent future failures. The focus of this case study is on the catastrophic failure at a utility and what caused it. This will add significant value to understanding the processes needed to make operating decisions for a control room operator and plant management on each startup.
