Testimonials
What sort of issues have DES Ltd helped to resolve and how?
My issue with efficiency losses through our boiler through drain lines. Mogas ball valves installed in various superheater, economiser and blow down lines. In 2 years this has led to a substantial decrease in make-up water for the boiler – 15t/hr now about 5t/hr. This has also had a knock on effect on chemical usage. It has also made it more viable to switch to towns water from raw water so the ops have been freed up from running the water treatment plant…
Power Plant in Wales
DES have since 2004 offered advice, service and supply of Mogas Ball valves to replace problematic OEM supplied valves that the station was built with, since these replacements we have not had to go back to these valves as they have been completely reliable and fool proof. Where there have been problems with other make ball valves and actuators DES have visited site and found issues with sizing of valves and or actuators and these issues have been corrected.
DES have also given the station a rapid turnaround service for the supply of items and the inspection, overhaul and return to site of items which other wise would affect the stations ability to return to service. DES have also investigated and found issues with the setting up procedures that have been used at site and have issued us with the correct methods for various valve actuator combinations and these have now been embodied in the station procedures…Power Plant in East Anglia
