Synchronous condensers and shunt reactors are different devices with distinct functions in an electrical power system. Here are the key differences between synchronous condensers and shunt reactors: 1)- Function: Synchronous condensers are synchronous machines that are operated without a mechanical load. Their primary function is to provide or absorb reactive power to support voltage regulation and power factor correction in an electrical grid. Shunt reactors are devices used for compensating capacitive reactive power in a power system. Their primary function is to consume reactive power to balance the excess capacitive reactance in long transmission lines and cables. 2)- Operation: Synchronous condensers are operated with an over-excited field, allowing them to generate or absorb reactive power based on system requirements. They do not produce real power (active power) but contribute to reactive power balance. Shunt reactors are connected in parallel with the power system and are designed to provide a path for circulating reactive power. They are usually inductive devices. 3)- Voltage Regulation: Synchronous condensers play a crucial role in maintaining voltage levels in a power system. By adjusting the excitation level, they can provide dynamic reactive power support to stabilize voltage during transient conditions. Shunt reactors help to control voltage levels by absorbing excess reactive power, especially in systems with long high-voltage transmission lines where capacitance can lead to overvoltage conditions. 4)- Power Factor Correction: These devices are often used for power factor correction, helping to offset the effects of inductive loads and improve the overall power factor of the system. While shunt reactors are used to control the power factor and mitigate overvoltage issues caused by capacitive reactance. 5)- Installation: Synchronous condensers are typically installed in substations or at key locations in the power grid where reactive power support is needed. Shunt reactors are often installed at substations along transmission lines to compensate for the capacitive reactance introduced by the lines. In summary, synchronous condensers and shunt reactors serve different purposes in power systems. Synchronous condensers focus on dynamic reactive power support and voltage regulation, while shunt reactors are designed to address capacitive reactance issues and control voltage levels in transmission systems. #powergeneration #powerdistribution #condenser #shunt_reactor #transmissionline #powersystem

This is a install Vista Process Solutions, LLC completed in October of 2022 for one of our customers in WTX/NM. This unit had been operated using a Venturi, 1/2” pipe nipple, and carbon pilot nozzle, and electrode for sparking, mounted vertically inside the candle grid. -Issues with burnt wires ( inside the combustor ) - pilot loss every time it rained This facility was closely monitored and would go down on H2S if the pilot was lost on this unit because the gas feed valve would close. 1 year later we have not sold a single spare part, and have not had one service call. Per our customer “ our combustor has not gone down in a year “ Our sparkles technology and engineered ignition units are 2nd to none. No wires inside the unit and ignition takes place outside of harms way while sending a very robust 1 plus ft flame across the candles. Surefire parts used FTL-F-MINI BMS 100 w/ modbus Surefire 1” solenoid We pride ourselves on the partnership we have with our customers in 4 states by providing a TRUE solution to your burner management systems. Not a service agreement. #oilandgas #midstream #burners #burnermanagementsystems #emissionsreduction #vistaprocesssolutions

Mike Crocker's newest blog explains why understanding how to mitigate Rx internals damage improves operators and engineers ability to evaluate unit equipment and catalyst performance more effectively.  https://lnkd.in/ehG4pGga Radial flow reactor designs continue to evolve and improve; although, even with these improvements their internals remain vulnerable to thermal cycles and high catalyst bed pressure. Most thermal cycles result from recycle gas compressor and subsequent heater trips. Over the course of a run (years) these trips are seemingly unavoidable, but one’s response to it can significantly reduce damage and potential downtime. #reactors #oilandgas #ccr #refining #catalyst #naphtha #reforming #turnarounds #becht
