New overspeed protection system enhances turbine safety at Huntingdon compressor station

03 September, 2024

Effective monitoring of turbines including overspeed protection in the power generation industry is critical to ensure smooth running and trouble-free operation, especially in today’s highly competitive and energy cost-conscious environment. Failure of the turbine, or pump speed governing system can lead to rotor damage with expensive consequences. Independent speed monitoring and protection is essential to minimise these risks and the Sentry G3 machine protection system developed by condition monitoring specialists, Sensonics has provided high integrity overspeed protection across a wide range of power generation applications for over 20 years.

New maintenance free compressed air filter does the job of three conventional filters

19 August, 2024

ERIKS UK & Ireland has launched a new compressed air filtration technology - Expel. The compressed air filter continually removes 99.9999% of water, oil emulsion fluids and solid particulates down to 1 micron. Its design means that users never have to change any internal elements, but simply fit and forget. Typically, it would take three conventional compressed air filters – one each for water, oil emulsion and solid particulates – to do the job of one Expel
