Challenge
High turbine backpressure and degraded condenser performance led to efficiency losses, reduced output, and higher operating costs — especially during peak summer conditions.
Navik Solution
Comprehensive condenser performance assessment including tube fouling analysis, air ingress detection, cooling water system optimization, and vacuum system evaluation.
Results
✔ 10–15 mbar reduction in turbine backpressure
✔ 35–50 kcal/kWh heat rate improvement
✔ 3–5 MW net unit output gain
✔ 0.3–0.5% auxiliary power reduction
✔ 3–5 MW net unit output gain
