In the heart of the energy-from-waste (EfW) sector, an industry that continues to grow and diversify, the need for a reliable and holistic maintenance service provider is paramount. This is where IME Group (Industrial Maintenance Engineers) comes into play, offering an unrivalled breadth of services that cater to the complex, high-demand requirements of EfW power stations.
With the global landscape for energy production shifting away from fossil fuels and toward renewable sources, Energy from Waste (EfW) power stations have been emerging....
Valves are an essential component in many industries. They're used to control the flow of liquids, gases, and other substances. However, with so many different types of valves and valve components available, selecting the right one is a challenging task.
Steam valves play a vital role in the operation of many industrial facilities, like power plants and biomass power stations. There are many rules and regulations around them. For example, it is a legal requirement that high-pressure steam valves, including manual valves, control valves and safety valves, are serviced each year following PSSR regulations.
Manual machining is a dying art, and is desperate need when you suffer a breakdown in an industrial environment. London used to have blossoming engineering support particularly in and around the docklands area. When a breakdown is suffered, a CNC machine will rarely be the answer. CNC machines are used for latch batch production and the item that will get you out of trouble may just be a one off. This is when you need a skilled manual machinists who can reverse engineer to precision, working 24 hours a day with stock of raw materials to minimise breakdowns.
As the world's population grows, so does our general waste output. London alone produces between 1.5 million to 1.75 million tonnes of food waste per year. That's a lot of waste, and if it goes to landfill, then it has a huge impact on the environment. If this residual waste is burnt in the open air, then it produces carbon dioxide, further harming our planet.
