THERMAL POWER INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS

Engineered hardfacing solutions for the most challenging wear environments.

Erosive and abrasive wear of the components of the fuel (coal) handling and firing systems, and of the boiler, are major issues for the designers and operators of coalfired power plants globally. The wear mechanism is almost entirely due to the presence of hard mineral matter in coals, and principally quartz and pyrite, these materials being harder than conventional steels. Large quantities of bulk material are handled in the storage, conveying, crushing, grinding, separation and burning systems of coal fired power plants. Unless they are suitably protected these systems will experience frequent failure, requiring repair or replacement. Hardcarb offers a suite of powerful engineered hardfacing solutions in all areas of coal-based thermal power production. Following are a few examples where Hardcarb anti-wear solutions are regularly offered:

  • Coal handling: hoppers, inlet and discharge chutes, transfer points, distributors, pulverized coal pipe line, coal compartment assembly, wagon tippler, screens and breaker plates.

  • Mill maintenance – body liners, journal housing liners, inner cone, deflector plate, vane wheel assembly, scraper, hot air duct, classifier parts, grinding roller and tables, beater mill plates.

  • Boiler maintenance – ID fan rotors and casings, dampers, duct deflector guide vanes, burner tips and nozzles, ESP/Economiser hopper, flue gas ducts.

  • Ash handling – ash discharge pipes, bottom ash feeder side plates, ash mixing blades and linings.

Since Hardcarb is a 360o solution provider with a comprehensive portfolio of wear protection products, we are not limited to just one solution while providing engineered hardfacing solutions for the thermal power industry. This also enables us to carry out an unbiased examination, and to propose designs for your plant components and assemblies which offer the ideal techno-economically optimized solution.
