MISTRAS Group, Inc. Detects Crack in S1 Vane of NextEra Energy Combustion Turbine
25 Outubro 2011 - 11:00AM
MISTRAS Group, Inc.'s (NYSE:MG) Acoustic Combustion Turbine
Monitoring System (ACTMS™) successfully detected and located an S1
vane crack in an F-class combustion turbine at a NextEra Energy
Resources' combined cycle generation facility.
Mid-compressor vane cracking has been recognized as an industry
concern. MISTRAS' ACTMS™ detects and locates active stator blade
cracking in the compressors of operating combustion turbines. Using
noninvasive sensor mounts, the system is capable of detecting and
identifying airfoil crack activity in the presence of normal
turbine operational noise and conditions.
"We have found ACTMS to be effective in detecting stationary
airfoil cracking on running combustion turbine compressors," says
Jim Keener, Vice President of Power Generation Technical Services
for NextEra Energy.
NextEra Energy, Inc. intends to purchase additional MISTRAS
ACTMS™ units, adding to their current inventory of six installed
systems.
NextEra Energy, Inc. is a leading clean energy company with 2010
revenues of more than $15 billion, nearly 43,000 megawatts of
generating capacity, and approximately 15,000 employees in 28
states and Canada.
