Expert Repair and Maintenance
Powertherm has successfully completed a critical repair and upgrade project at a UK biomass power plant, restoring both safety and operational efficiency through a fully engineered thermal insulation solution.
The Problem
Following a detailed site inspection, our team identified major issues with the existing insulation system installed by a previous contractor, including insufficient insulation thickness and incorrectly specified cladding. These faults resulted in excessive heat transfer, surface scorching, and external temperatures exceeding safe limits, posing a serious risk to personnel.
Our Solution
Powertherm was appointed to design and implement a compliant, high-performance insulation system repair. Combining in-house insulation system design, scaffolding access, and expert installation, the team installed a multi-layer mineral wool insulation system supported by a DUK Rail substructure and finished with durable aluminium cladding.
The Result
The upgraded system successfully reduced surface temperatures to safe levels, eliminated heat loss issues, and improved overall plant efficiency, helping to lower energy waste and operational costs.
