Power Industry News Combustion Liners

Turbine Parts: 6B Combustion Liners

Over 600 6B liners sold without a fit-up issue or warranty claim. Thermal Barrier coating (TBC) lines the body and cap interior, and chrome carbide protects the spring seal against wear from the transition piece. Liner quality has been elevated by maintaining tighter tolerances on holes sizes and roundness, flatness of the combustion caps, and the size and location of theliner stops. Improved fabrication procedures (such as upgrading brazing compounds) reduce future repair costs and elongate part life. 100% over-inspection is performed on all combustion liners by an independent firm. Optional upgraded components (e.g., stops), materials, and thermal/wear coatings extend…

Operational Bottlenecks and Structural Reform in the Nigerian Power Sector

Operational Bottlenecks and Structural Reform in the Nigerian Power Sector The Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI) presents a profound operational paradox. Despite boasting an installed grid-connected generation capacity of approximately 13,625 MW, the network routinely dispatches an average of only 3,500 MW to 4,500 MW to the nation’s 220+ million citizens. This persistent supply deficit, set against a suppressed peak national demand estimated between 25,000 MW and 30,000 MW—has forced commercial, industrial, and residential consumers to rely heavily on off-grid diesel and petrol generators. NIGERIAN POWER GRID AT A GLANCE  Total Installed Capacity: ~13,625 MW Available Generation Cap.: ~4,286 MW…

Our future city will be green by every mean marvelous But at what Cost

Our future city will be green by every mean, marvellous! But at what Cost! When I first read about The Line in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, I was inspired by the vision of a state-of-the-art city designed to exist in perfect harmony with nature. The concept sounds ideal, but it quickly sparked a critical question in my mind: at what cost? Long before we can move into this eco-utopia, how much damage will its construction inflict on our planet? Driven by this concern, I dove deeper into the research, and here is what I discovered: I answered myself that “Your intuition…
