Mechanical & Thermal Design
TECHNICAL SERVICES DIVISION
TEi Technical Services Division originates from the Design and Engineering office of Foster Wheeler Power Products Limited purchased by our former owner Senior Engineering Plc from Foster Wheeler in 1988. This Division of TEi Ltd provides design, engineering, commissioning and consultancy to a broad range of external customers and other TEi Companies and Divisions.
REAL EXPERTISE
TSD engineering expertise was originally founded upon the product and service ranges of FWPP but has developed in recent years to include greater coverage of the systems and processes associated with steam plant in general.
The Wakefield and Rochester offices are certified to ISO 9001 and have the staff and technology to provide engineering services utilising standards and computer software developed over many years.
These include computer modelling of thermal and mechanical design, in addition to many in-house developed programmes for performance (combustion, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, etc).
CONSULTANCY SERVICES
- Computer modelling of thermal and mechanical design
- Condition and remnant life assessment
- Control system upgrade
- Plant commissioning
- Operator training and O&M manual preparation
- Fuel conversion studies
- Service life prolongation
- Pipe stressing
- Expert witness services
- Emission studies
- Performance monitoring
- Spares supply
PLANT UPGRADING
Pressure part analysis often shows the need to update the superheater or other components which result in a prolonged more economic life. Improving efficiency can be achieved by incorporating extra economiser surface, an air heater and by lowering excess air.
Cycle modifications can incorporate feed heating and topping cycles through to a total CHP retrofit.
FUEL CONVERSION
Your existing plant can probably be converted to burn COAL, OIL, GAS, low CV or Waste Fuels. All associated storage, handling, operation and maintenance requirements can be incorporated in scheme proposals.
Boilers currently burning fossil fuels can have Gas Turbine Exhaust Gas or Process Waste Gas burning or Heat Recovery facilities added to reduce running costs. In fact, TEi Technical Services Division will add FUEL FLEXIBILITY to any boiler, allowing greater peace of mind for boiler plant operation.
