Your Savings

Material: There is no material replacement cost unless there is a pre existing condition. From Mannings USA’s global operational experience and SMIHPL’s experience in India, there has never been a situation for damage or replacement of material. On the other hand, a ceased turbine bolt not only extends the outage time, but also costs substantial money (labor and material) to remove the bolt. A damaged or distorted retaining ring needing replacement is, of course, costly. None of these possibilities exist for induction heating. 

Time: As India continues to become a formidable competitive force in the global market; the pressure to reduce expended time in non-productive activities in manufacturing, power generation and service sector will be overwhelming. Availability of continuous power supply at a reasonably cheaper rate will propel the Indian economy to new highs. Well planned short duration outages will just do that. To simply put it, a short duration outage will do just that.

To put it simply:

  • Reduce overall outage cost
  • Increase capacity factor

Induction Heating: alone can save at least two days of the outage time during opening and two days during closing operation of the turbine shell. This will enable the company to sell minimum four days worth of additional power. At the current electricity rate, this could amount to substantial revenue.

Convenience: SMIHPL’s process is clean and safe. Generally one or two service engineers with the help of a couple of labors can complete the entire operation safely in less than a shift. Our team will loosen the nuts for removal by hand turning. There is no slugging or hazardous gas. Once used, users get hooked to the convenience it offers.
