No matter how your combined cycle plant operates – base load, simple cycle, seasonally, or peaking – Parker has everything you need to keep it running at optimum efficiency. Our combined cycle applications include systems, subsystems, and components that work throughout the plant to reduce emissions, lower maintenance costs, preserve plant and component life, and improve turbine efficiency. From small bore instrumentation to large bore process piping you can turn to Parker for solutions that will meet and exceed both your specifications, and your expectations.
Parker is proven in the power industry like no other supplier. Our years of technology innovation has created motion and control solutions for applications that range from coal handling to emissions monitoring, and everything in between. Our instrumentation system solutions are particularly impressive. Whether for hot zones, or high-temperature steam systems, Parker has a vast array of legacy and new performance-enhancing instrumentation that improve system life, increase safety, eliminate time and cost, boost efficiency, and accurately meet standards for emissions compliance.
From ANSI B31.1 standard to manufacturing small bore instrumentation product to meet the needs of nuclear power generation companies – product that are installed at more than 200 nuclear plants worldwide and offer the efficiency, reliability, and cost effectiveness the industry demands. But we don't stop there. Our multi-million dollar commitment to research and development positions us as the company to partner with. Working hand in hand with you to set the standards and engineer the systems that will shape the future of an increasingly critical power source.
Parker has been at the forefront of steam power conversion turbine technology from the earliest high performance turbines to today’s most demanding power generation applications. Over five decades of experience have given us wide ranging expertise in systems and components for fuel and water atomization, fuel controls and emission controls ... all driving turbine efficiency rates. By working with Parker, you’ll benefit from sustained engine performance with higher MW output, the lowest maintenance costs, extended engine and component life, reduced operating costs, and lower emissions due to greater fuel-burning efficiency.
Providing uninterrupted power generation for monitoring and control equipment is essential in many oil and gas upstream, midstream, and downstream applications, from a safety, economic and environmental point of view. The nature of these operations places them in remote locations, which means they are off the electrical power grid. This further implies a sparse population, with limited engineering and technical resources available to maintain these assets.
Meeting ISO Standards with Process to Instrument Valves
Managing emissions is a major challenge for many companies. In Europe alone, a typical refinery can lose between 600 and 10,000 tonnes of fugitive emissions every year; and the majority of those losses are estimated to be caused by plant equipment, such as process to instrument valves and small bore fluid system technologies.
Asset Integrity
For over forty years, Parker has lead the development of the chemical hardening process ideal for ferrules designed to grip and seal stainless steel tubing. The process is called Suparcase. This article reviews the importance of metallurgy and how Parker has utilized Suparcase technology.
Asset Integrity
Increasingly, process control instrumentation solutions are being applied in ever more hostile environments. As a result, there has been a corresponding increase in the reported incidence of external corrosion to 316 stainless steel instrumentation tubing systems.
Asset Integrity
Achieving a leak-free connection in any environment is the Holy Grail for many piping and instrumentation engineers. Traditional hookups use a multitude of valves and fittings – creating lots of potential leak points. The good news is, adopting ten easy steps can radically reduce leakage risks and achieve substantial cost and efficiency savings.
Ferrule Technology
This article discusses the evolution of ferrule design and hardening technology, using the example of the Parker Hannifin CPI™ single ferrule compression fitting, but the basic principles also apply to two ferrule compression fittings, such as Parker Hannifin’s A-LOK®, as well as the high pressure design.
