ProEnergy Sponsors Show-Me BEST Robotics Competition

ProEnergy Services recently had the honor of serving as corporate sponsor of the Show-Me BEST (Boosting Engineering Science and Technology) BUGS! competition. The event took place October 22 at State Fair Community College in Sedalia. Thirteen Missouri and Illinois teams made up of middle school and high school students competed.

Partnering with SFCC and other area businesses, ProEnergy’s sponsorship helped provide funds for the kits that students used to build their robots. With guidance from Engineers and technical professionals from local industries, students gained hands-on experience designing, building and marketing their robots. The experience taught students to work as a team while expanding skills in math, engineering and problem-solving.

BEST Robotics, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer based organization that sponsors the nationwide robotics. BEST strives to help students become competent and confident in skills that will help them conquer real world challenges now and in the future. State Fair Community College is Missouri’s only hub site for the sports-like science and engineering-based robotics competition.

ProEnergy Turbine Services Repairs V94.2 Blades in Record Time

ProEnergy Turbine Services recently completed the repair of three sets of V94.2 blades with full stripping and coating in only six weeks. Applying Turbine Services’ rigorous inspection process it was discovered that the blades would require major repairs.

Through the chemical stripping process, extra care was taken to prevent damaging the platinum pins located in the airfoil. The parts were then evaluated by the Turbine Services’ engineering team to design the repair scheme. This fast track project included weld repairs of foreign object damages as well as a tip build up using a specialized proprietary welding procedure designed by ProEnergy’s Turbine Services engineering team. The application of HVOF coatings using multicoat equipment allowed for higher yields and performance comparable to new blades.

“We pride ourselves on our ability to use state-of-the-art technology processes to complete projects in much shorter lead times,” said Marcial Trujillo, ProEnergy’s Vice President of Heavy Industrial Turbine Products. “We work very closely with our customers, and have found that those relationships also contribute to the quick turnaround times we are able to provide.”

7EA Conversion Saves Time and Money

ProEnergy Services was recently contracted to install six Frame 7EA DLN1.0 Dual Units in Venezuela. ProEnergy Turbine Services, a division of ProEnergy Services, assisted in the procurement of the fuel nozzle components. After determining the lead time to supply all of the required sets would not meet schedule demands, it was decided to convert the fuel nozzles removed from a gas only unit, to a dual fuel configuration.

The complete re-engineering portion of the project was performed in only three weeks. Utilizing 3D models, the parts were virtually reassembled to ensure proper fit prior to being manufactured. These models were then utilized to create detailed part drawings, facilitating the procurement of the necessary details. All fuel system components were manufactured, inspected and delivered within six weeks of the project start date. In addition, the process provided a 25% cost savings over the traditional method of replacing the parts.

“We are excited to offer the conversion of single fuel units to dual fuel,” said Marcial Trujillo, VP of ProEnergy Turbine Services. “We have been successful performing this conversion on multiple turbine types. This flexibility and cost savings will benefit our customers significantly.”

EPS Delivers Replacement Transformers Ahead of Schedule

Energy Parts Solutions, a division of ProEnergy Services, recently designed, assembled and delivered a replacement transformer for a client, following the failure of their 75MVA, 138kV-13.8kV GSU Transformer. EPS was able to modify a transformer previously ordered for inventory to meet the client’s specific needs. Factory engineering drawings were released a month later, nearly 6 weeks ahead of the standard transformer engineering cycle. The transformer was delivered, assembled, vacuum hot oil filled and commissioned- all ahead of the client’s original energization date. Soon after, EPS was able to respond to the same client by delivering a similar sized transformer from its inventory, to replace another transformer that failed in June 2011.

“It is our mission to understand a client’s needs and deliver beyond expectations,” said Bill Mars, President of Energy Parts Solutions. “I am very proud of our team’s commitment to delivering superior quality on every project we do.”

EPS Increases Fleet of Vacuum Dehydrators

Energy Parts Solutions, a division of ProEnergy Services, recently acquired two additional self-contained vacuum dehydrators. EPS maintains a large inventory of new and surplus transformers, and the two fully equipped vacuum dehydrators will be used to remove free, emulsified, and dissolved water, particulate, and gaseous contamination from petroleum and synthetic based fluids used to cool transformers. These new units work at a processing flow rate of 1,800 gallons per hour. They are packaged in 40 foot ISO Containers with complete tooling and a 180KW generator, making the units self-sufficient for any location throughout the world.

“By maintaining clean and dry oil, the life of the transformer can be dramatically extended,” said company President Bill Mars. “This minimizes downtime and optimizes its efficiency, therefore maximizing our customers’ profitability. We will use our new units to help meet our customers’ specific oil purification needs.”
