The SpiralWeld™ Benefit
Energy from Waste (EfW) plants play an increasingly vital role in UK energy generation. Firstly, allowing us to move towards a greener economy by reducing the waste in our landfills. Secondly, by helping the UK to meet the Nation’s power requirements as the market moves away from traditional base load coal fired and aging nuclear power stations.
By generating valuable energy from landfill waste, controlling emissions and working to develop bottom ash reclamation/recycling, EfW power stations are a key supporter of the circular economy. As such, we believe the values of EfW operations align with our own. We support the circular economy by utilising our ReManufacture services to improve the return of product gains within the economy by improving the product standard of quality and reduce disposal/replacement of components that still have service life, thus reducing environmental impact of alternative part replacement options.
It is vital that EfW plant performance, operation and maintenance is optimised to ensure return on investment and SpiralWeld Ltd can support across the board. Experience has shown that our ReManufacture+ SpiralWeld™ solutions can extend the life of critical control surfaces in steam path control valves and improve mean time between failure from 6 months to 3 years, which is critical to ensure plant operating cost efficiency is maximised.
A SpiralWeld™ ReManufactured component will:
- Help to reduce unplanned maintenance events – support quick return to service vs OEM part supply
- Minimise capital risks by reducing spare inventory and new part replacement cost
- Increase availability by avoiding critical valve failure
- Support environmental and commercial pressure; reduce parts scraping & reduce costs
Our support extends to shafts also, returning shredder equipment to service that had been previously impacted by journal wear caused by bearing failure.
Energy from waste is an important stream for our business and we are uniquely placed to offer solutions that align with the shared values of supporting the circular economy and reducing the impact of waste.
