To optimise your mechanical equipment, you need to create the right environment. High humidity causes condensation, corrosion and rust, which in a power plant, causes problems with gas turbines, pumps, switchgears and electronics operations.
The dry air created by Munters systems ensures that the power plant and associated assets are protected from corrosion and kept perfectly preserved ready for quick start ups.
Munters Air Treatment systems assist in all stages of a power stations' life cycle as follows:
-
Operational - protection for spare rotors, switch rooms and bus bars
-
Standby - as above including generators and turbines for quick start ups
-
Mothballing - as above including deep state of preservation for total asset protection (including for temporary shut downs)
Plus, unlike other preservation techniques, dry air has no health and safety issues. Munters dry air method has been successfully implemented throughout the world as well as in the UK, examples being: Drax, Hartlepool, Killingholme and Rocksavage.
