Energy from Waste
Energy from Waste facilities operate in corrosive and abrasive environments with high thermal and mechanical stress on rotating equipment.
We support EfW operators with predictive maintenance services covering:
- Induced and forced draft fans
- Conveyors and shredders
- Turbine systems
- Hydraulic drives
- Flue gas treatment systems
Our services reduce the risk of forced outages, improve fan and gearbox reliability and support stable energy recovery performance.
FAQ’S
Why is condition monitoring important in energy from waste facilities? +
Energy from waste plants operate continuously and rely on complex mechanical systems. Condition monitoring services help ensure equipment reliability and minimise unexpected shutdowns.
What equipment requires monitoring in EfW plants? +
Assets such as combustion fans, turbines, conveyors and pumps are commonly monitored using vibration analysis and thermography.
How does vibration monitoring help fan reliability? +
Fan systems are critical for combustion and exhaust processes. Vibration monitoring helps detect imbalance, bearing faults and structural issues affecting fan performance.
Can acoustic imaging help EfW facilities? +
Yes. Acoustic imaging can detect compressed air leaks, steam leaks and electrical discharge faults.
What predictive maintenance techniques are commonly used in EfW plants? +
Common technologies include vibration analysis, thermography inspection, oil debris analysis and dynamic fan balancing.
What are the benefits of predictive maintenance in EfW facilities? +
Predictive maintenance reduces unplanned outages, improves equipment reliability and supports continuous energy generation.
