It is easy to underestimate the seriousness of the aging electric transmission infrastructure in the United States. Over a quarter of the grid is 50 years old or older and the average age is 40 years old. It is estimated that over the next three decades, nearly a 140,000 miles of transmission line will need to be replaced. When Central Virginia Electric Cooperative (CVEC) decided to strengthen their grid in January of 2022, they found that the ductile iron pole bid cost 37% less than the second lowest bid and almost 67% less than the highest bid. In addition, the ductile iron poles had a lead time of 6-8 weeks after drawing approval. Currently, our lead times are back where they were at the time of the CVEC bid. CVEC undertook three projects that had such good results, they have another three projects planned over the next five years.

In this case study, our team increased flow rates by 475 bfpd by successfully transitioning wells from ESP to Rod Pump. Operating ESPs in high GOR conditions often leads to decreased efficiency, frequent overheating shutdowns, and an increased rate of equipment failure. To address these challenges, LPS' Hi-Rise System™ offers solutions that reduce operating costs by minimizing maintenance requirements and decreasing failure rates. By switching to rod lift earlier, production can be increased, avoiding the inefficiencies often associated with ESPs, which can lead to inconsistent and suboptimal production levels. So, how does the Hi-Rise System achieve success? ⚡️ LightningRod™ continuous rod is 8-12% lighter than conventional sucker rods, which reduces the load on the system and extends the life of the equipment. ⚡️ Combining lined tubing with continuous rod diminishes frictional wear for a longer running well. LightningFlo™ LF115 is engineered for highly corrosive wells with a maximum operating temperature of 300°F. ⚡️ LPS engineers provide tailored solutions for each well, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. ⚡️ Our proprietary advanced LV-EMI™ SYSTEM facilitates early detection of wear, fatigue, and corrosion, significantly reducing the likelihood of premature failures. ⚡️ 24-72 hour service is guaranteed to keep operations running smoothly with minimal downtime. Explore the potential of your wells with the Hi-Rise System. Our team is ready to help you identify and design the most suitable conversion strategy for your ESP wells to help you maximize your operational efficiency and production outcomes.

The FCC unit is vital for converting Gas Oil into lighter hydrocarbons for premium fuels in refinery operations. To ensure safe and efficient performance, expansion joints in the FCC unit must be highly reliable. These joints accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, reducing stress on equipment. Reliable joints are crucial for preventing downtime, environmental risks, and safety hazards. Refineries prioritize the design, installation, and maintenance of these joints to ensure optimal performance. Flexatherm is a renowned leader in the design and manufacture of expansion joints for various industrial applications, including Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units (FCC). Recently, Flexatherm successfully designed and fabricated an FCC Standpipe Expansion Joint for a prominent Refinery in India, showcasing exceptional expertise and innovation. Key features of the expansion joint: Location : FCC Standpipe.

#TBT to 20 Years Ago: A Milestone in Zinc Addition Analysis Flashback to when Dominion Engineering, Inc. took a deep dive into the economic and technical impacts of Zinc (Zn) addition for mitigating Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) in Alloy 600 components at the EPRI Workshop on August 19–20, 2004 in Toronto, Ontario. Back in the day, we analyzed every aspect: * PWSCC rates in steam generator tubes and reactor coolant systems * The reduction in dose rates with Zn * The long-term benefits observed by early adopters * And the economic costs of implementing this strategy The meticulous planning, rigorous analysis, and forward-thinking approach set the standard for plant-specific decision-making, exemplifying the "Dominion Engineering, Inc. way" that continues to characterize our work today. Here's to looking back on innovations that have paved the way for a safer, more reliable future. 🌟 #Greenenergy #EngineeringExcellence #InnovationInAction 

One of our flagship achievements was this turnaround project, which consisted of platform reactors, heaters, and process towers. Despite there being 44% more work than originally in scope, we completed the shutdown on schedule, on target, and on budget. Additionally, there were ZERO first-aid incidents, and ZERO Non-Conformance Reports incurred. #tiwsteelplatework #steelconstruction #steelfabricators #turnkey #turnaround
