Equipment performance survey of the Georgetown University Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boiler Plant
An equipment performance survey was conducted at the Georgetown University (GU) Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Boiler (AFBB) Plant by Mechanical Technology Incorporated (MTI), under contract with the US Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC). Review of daily operating logs and maintenance records identified incidences of malfunctions and their frequency for equipment in the AFBB plant, a project funded by the US DOE. Interviews with plant engineering, operating, and maintenance personnel were conducted to obtain details of the malfunctions, suspected causes, corrective action taken, and the results of the corrective action on ten selected equipment items. Based on the survey, technology gaps in equipment for AFBB plants were identified.
