Case Study
Superior Alternative to Non-UCC Pyrites Isolation Valves
A Midwest power plant providing 1600 megawatts to more than 2.5 million homes with baseload electricity was experiencing a significant increase in maintenance and operational costs due to repeated equipment failures with their OEM installed pyrite hopper isolation valves. The OEM valves typically lasted four weeks in service, resulting in frequent replacements and significant labor and maintenance costs. UCC had just the solution.
