Coal to Natural Gas Electric Utilities Repowering: Consequences for Valve Usage and Replacement

US power generating plants are converting from coal to other fuels in large numbers. In some cases the existing infrastructure is (to the extent possible) retained, with only the combustible material being altered. In the “middle” are plants that "repower" by using an existing turbine to run on steam from a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) that draws (recycles) exhaust heat from a new gas turbine, together forming a combined cycle. At the other end of the scale are newly constructed power plants, which are predominantly gas-fueled. Each of these three repowering alternatives requires a different quantity of new valves, often of varying types.

Valve and Pump Company Growth through Acquisition or Organically

As discussed earlier in the E-Alert, Crane Co. has made a hostile $896 million offer for Circor International Inc. after an earlier proposal to the rival industrial products manufacturer’s board was rejected this month. Crane believes it can improve on what it charts to be relatively poor performance of Circor.
