Case Study
Extending the lifespan of nuclear steam generator in Canada
We solved tube wall thinning issue in a nuclear power plant’s heat exchangers, reducing outlet temperature, prolonging steam generator life.
Enhancing reliability
As the nuclear power industry seeks to extend the lifespan of older reactors, including boiling water reactors (BWR), pressurised water reactors (PWR), and pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR) designs, they face specific challenges related to legacy valves. These valves can present problems that hinder the safe and efficient operation of nuclear power plants.
At IMI Critical we understand the critical importance of ensuring the reliability and safety of these systems.
Overcoming challenges through innovation
With a focus on innovation, we have developed and rigorously tested advanced valve technologies that meet the stringent requirements of both new construction, and next-generation nuclear power stations, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). These cutting-edge solutions are designed to optimise performance, enhance safety, and improve efficiency in the nuclear industry.
By addressing legacy valve challenges and advancing nuclear power technologies, we contribute to a sustainable future for all, ensuring energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
