Efficiency and Reliability Audio Case Studies

Integrated Global Services (IGS) has acquired Flamsprutarna AB, a provider of turbine maintenance and thermal spray services with over 40 years of experience.
This acquisition expands IGS’s capabilities across gas turbines, steam turbines, and nuclear assets, strengthening its ability to support power generation operators with integrated, multi-technology solutions.
In this episode, we cover what the acquisition means, how the combined capabilities enhance outage execution and asset reliability, and what this signals for the future of global power plant maintenance.

A case study outlining performance challenges at the 1040 MW Apex Four Corners coal-fired power station, where ash buildup, failed LPA screens, and degraded air cannon systems led to rising differential pressure, reduced output, and catalyst damage within the SCR system. The study explores the operational impact of ineffective cleaning and component failure, highlighting how these issues increased maintenance demand, safety risks, and emission compliance pressure over time.

A case study on fired heater performance challenges at one of the world’s largest integrated refining and petrochemical complexes in India. The episode explores how refractory degradation, tube oxidation, and declining heat transfer efficiency impact fuel consumption, emissions, and long-term reliability, and why a holistic approach to fired heater integrity is critical for sustained efficiency at scale.

A multi-year case study of how HVTS cladding transformed a European biomass power station, from quarterly outages and recurring tube failures to predictable annual inspections and zero failures in protected zones.

An offshore platform faced pitting corrosion on stainless steel–clad slug catchers. HVTS was applied as a weld overlay alternative, achieving reliable corrosion protection under sour service conditions and delivering significant cost savings.
