Weekly IIoT Webinars cover the Range of Markets from Power to Cleanrooms and
from Centrifuges to Turbines
McIlvaine services cover flow control and treatment for many different
industries. The new effort relative to IIoT
N031
Industrial IOT and Remote O&M touches on all the industries and
all the products which McIlvaine analyzes. Each week there will be an IIoT
webinar focused on an industry or subject. A supplier of stainless steel or
filter media may not immediately see the relevance of IIoT to his research and
marketing efforts. However, IIoT will continuously deliver a myriad of white
papers relative to specific fibers, filter media, and stainless vessels and
piping. It will provide the materials supplier with knowledge which will help
him develop products best suited to each process. IIoT will have major impacts
throughout the supply chain. The webinar on Thursday, March 2 will cover IIoT
and Remote O&M for coal-fired power plants. You can register for this event plus
see scheduled IIoT webinars through August at
Weekly IIoT Webinars
Coal-fired Boiler IIoT needs to draw on Accumulated Materials Wisdom
IIoT promises to deliver higher efficiencies and lower operating costs to
coal-fired boiler operators around the world. Much of the progress will be
dependent on better choices of existing materials and development of new ones.
When linked to remote O&M centers coal-fired boilers in developing countries can
perform to the same high levels as units in countries with the greatest
reservoir of materials knowledge.
Low cost sensors and wireless transmission will instantly generate huge amounts
of data which is analyzed and acted upon by digital process management programs.
All the programs need to incorporate a succession of data to information, to
knowledge, to wisdom. The digital management from data to knowledge is well
advanced, but the digital management to move from knowledge to wisdom is in its
infancy. There needs to be a major effort to develop the Industrial Internet of
Wisdom (IIoW) to interconnect the expertise of suppliers of materials, products,
processes and plants. There needs to be interconnection between plants within a
utility as well as with associations, research institutions, and the media.
Materials suppliers do not generally deal directly with the end users, so
interconnection of this group will be the most challenging.
With IIoT the corrosion rates of materials in the high temperature and pressure
regimes created by ultra-supercritical operation will be comprehensively and
continuously analyzed. There have been new alloys and new coatings created to
deal with temperatures above 1000°F in the steam cycle. There are multiple
coating materials and multiple means of application to a range of products from
piping to valves.
In the McIlvaine service
44I Coal-fired Power Plant Decisions (formerly
PPAQD),
there is an ongoing evaluation of high performance valves for temperatures in
excess of 750°F. This includes the coatings and other materials but also the
valve design (ball, valve, gate) and the seal and component design (trunnion vs.
ball etc.). This is just one of the many in depth studies related to coal-fired
boilers that the McIlvaine Company has conducted over the years.
McIlvaine has taken the further step of compiling information on all plants
within a utility organization. In
4S01 Berkshire Hathaway Energy Supplier and Utility Connect,
McIlvaine is gathering information on the high efficiency condensate filter
media at one plant vs. the lower efficiency media at another. For each of the
boiler baghouses McIlvaine has surveyed the media material (fiberglass vs. PPS
vs, P84) media construction (membrane laminate vs. multi nonwoven vs. woven)
weight of material, and bag life.
All of these details become important in optimizing plant performance. McIlvaine
conducted nine hours of webinars for BHE on reducing NOx at three
units. Combustion optimization strategies offered by GE, Siemens, and Emerson
had to be tailored to the temperature limitations of the filter media. A new
catalytic high temperature filter media offered great promise but was eventually
determined to be too costly a process modification.
In IIoT the first principle is to provide structure. This is equally true for
IIoW. Among the initiatives already undertaken by McIlvaine to provide part of
the structural foundation are the
Decision Guides.

IIoW is in its infancy and needs to keep pace with the IIoT progress. McIlvaine
will be reaching out to all interested parties. On
Thursday, March 2, there will be a
webinar on IIoT and Remote O&M for coal-fired boilers. Weekly webinars on
products, processes and industries will identify opportunities.
