IGS SOLUTIONS. 

IGS's Solutions to your plant problems

Plant equipment can run for many years reliably provided they are properly designed, manufactured, installed, and maintained.  If any one these lifecycle processes fail, problems can be expected.  Plant operators are often pushed to operate the plant beyond its intended designed life. 

IGS provides a wide range of transformer engineering services including failure analysis and RCA, remnant life assessment, and complete fleet assessments measuring its risk and health. 

Power Transformers

Taking regular oil samples and reviewing the health, is a powerful tool in assessing the condition and ensuring safe operation of a transformer.  This condition monitoring tool is well developed and used in the industry.  Assessing the remnant life, risk of failure or health status of a transformer or fleet is a more involved process.  IGS has developed a program for the remnant life/risk of power transformers.  Our world leading experts network together with experts around the world bring you the world best practice solutions to your problems.  Here are some of the solutions provided:

  • Transformer or complete transformer fleet integrity and health risk assessment

High moisture in oil is often the cause of many transformer failures, a cause that is often overlooked. Using the standard oil sample test of moisture can be very misleading.

  • IGS measures accurate moisture in measurements, advice on drying and do online drying.

  • Failure investigation, RCA and corrective measures.

  • Review and compiling operating and maintenance strategies & procedures

  • Solutions to manage transformers with Sulphur in their oil.

Large Generators

Frequent inspections by experienced engineers of generators during outages, is an effective means to detects developing defects in the generator. 

  • Bump and operational defection shape and bump testing on generator and end-winding.
  • Generator and/auxiliary system health and risk reviews.
  • Review and compiling operating and maintenance strategies & procedures.
  • Turbo-regenerator condition monitoring.
  • Bearing failure due to shaft voltage/ current.

Quality of supply

Our team has many years experience in solving power supply related process downtime problems and provide a complete solution to the problem. We carry out root cause analysis investigations, plant risks due to supply dips & sags with the necessary testing.  We offer a simple and low cost solution namely the DPI.  IGS Also provides a complete solution to industrial plant equipment failure due to lighting and switching surges.  We offer a very effective and low cost ZORC protector.

  • Power supply dip or sag related process downtime and counter measures.
  • Power electrical system surge studies, testing and countermeasures including the ZORC.
