ALS Hosts Power Plant Inspection and Life Assessment Seminar
The power industry has many stations that have exceeded or are approaching their design life. As these plants age new damage mechanisms come into play.
Our seminar will be held on 28, 29 and 30 June 2016 and will look at selected damage mechanisms and how to address them. Conventional coal and gas fired plants and HRSG’s will be covered.
The course is presented over three days with Day 1 as an introduction to damage mechanisms and NDT methods. Day 2 has a more in depth focus on varies boiler and turbine components. Day 3 focuses on P91 material issues and HRSG’s.
