Assistance to RLA of Boilers & Turbo Generators
Assistance in the Remaining Life Assessment (RLA) of Boilers and Turbo Generators is crucial to ensure their safe and efficient operation in industrial settings.
RLA involves a comprehensive analysis of a system’s current condition and estimation of its operational lifespan, considering various degradation mechanisms such as corrosion, fatigue, creep, and thermal aging.
The process includes non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques like ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle inspections, along with advanced stress analysis and metallography. These assessments help identify potential failure points, optimize maintenance strategies, and determine necessary repairs or life extension actions.
RLA methods, including calculation-based and design approaches, evaluate operational stresses and material properties to predict the remaining service life of critical components. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns and ensures the continued reliability of power plant equipment, contributing to both safety and cost-effectiveness.
