Case Studies
UCC 300W Knife Gate Valve Solves Excessive Leaking Problems
A power plant had non-UCC slurry valves that were leaking excessively in their bottom ash system, causing a significant increase in operating and maintenance expenses. To prove that the leakage in the valves could be prevented, UCC installed a UCC 300W Knife Gate Valve alongside the failing slurry valves and conducted a side-by-side comparison. Read the case study to see the end result.
UCC 300W Knife Gate Valve Solves Excessive Repair and Replacement Costs
A 900MW Northwestern US coal-fired power plant experienced a significant increase in maintenance costs due to the repeated premature failure of OEM isolation valves installed in their bottom ash conveying system. The isolation valves were exposed to highly abrasive material in a high-pressure environment, which caused the valve’s blade to bend. This prevented the valve from sealing properly and resulted in excessive leakage. Read the case study to see UCC’s solution.
