Hot Topic Hour for August 30, 2012 Will Focus on Pumps for Power Plants,
Boilers and Water Treatment Facilities Combined Cycle Plants
Greg Morrison, Product Manager, Boiler Feed Water Pumps at Flowserve
Corporation, Pump Division, will discuss the application of boiler feed pumps in
combined cycle, thermo-solar and biomass power plants. He will discuss the
types, sizes and required features of boiler feed pumps as they are applied to
combined cycle, thermo-solar and biomass power plants. With the decline of
coal-fired generation, the three types of power plants mentioned above account
for the vast majority of new power construction. Each plant type requires unique
solutions that will be summarized and discussed.
Tom Tschanz of McIlvaine Company will provide process flow diagrams and
descriptions of some of the many pump applications in the power industry
