Telic Engineering / Controls / Woodward 505, 5009 and ProTech

Woodward 505 and 5009. Steam, compressors, generators.

A steam turbine that hunts, trips or will not hold extraction pressure, an overspeed test your insurer wants proven, or a generator that will not synchronise? We commission, tune and troubleshoot Woodward steam turbine governors and overspeed protection, compressor drives and generator controls. Single valve or extraction and admission, simplex or fault-tolerant, offshore and onshore.

Where we work on a steam turbine train

The six places where most of our work happens, numbered as in the drawing at the top of the page.

  1. 01Governor valves. A turbine can only control as well as its valves follow demand. The HP valve and, on extraction or admission machines, the LP valve: actuators stroked and calibrated against the governor demand, from closed to fully open.
  2. 02Extraction and admission. The process wants steady header pressure, the machine wants steady speed. The steam map in the control checked against the machine, and the interaction between speed or load and extraction pressure tuned on load.
  3. 03Compressor drive. On a compressor train the turbine follows the process. Suction or discharge pressure control, the interface to the anti-surge control, and the fault-tolerant 5009FT on critical trains.
  4. 04Speed control. No hunting, no sitting in a critical speed. 505 and 5009 speed and load loops tuned on the running machine, and the critical speed bands set so the turbine passes through them and never stays in them.
  5. 05Overspeed. Protection you can show is proven. ProTech overspeed protection: three modules with their own speed probe, voting two out of three on the trip to the trip valve. Trip tests per module and as a full trip, with the trip speed recorded.
  6. 06Generator. The breaker closes when it should and not before. easYgen genset controls and LS-6 breaker control: synchronising, load sharing and power management, tested before the first breaker close.

What we do

By engineers who have done it before. Every job comes with a short daily report and paperwork you can use.

Troubleshooting

Trips, hunting, valves that do not follow demand. Event log and trend first, then the valve, then the wiring.

Tuning

Speed, load and extraction loops tuned on the running machine, so it holds steady when the process does not.

Commissioning

New governors and protection systems: I/O checks, valve calibration, overspeed trip tests, first roll and load tests.

Upgrades, FAT and SAT

Control upgrades on steam turbine and compressor trains, from the factory acceptance test to commissioning, and GAP updates with the site acceptance test that proves them.

Power management

easYgen and LS-6 on generator sets and turbine generators: synchronising, load sharing, breaker control and the power management that ties them together.

Engine governors

Woodward 723 and EPG governors on diesel generators: load bank tests and troubleshooting.

Questions we get

Do you work on steam turbines, not only gas turbines?

Yes. Steam turbine governors and overspeed protection are part of our work: single valve and extraction or admission machines, driving generators and compressors, offshore and onshore.

Can the overspeed trip be tested without overspeeding the turbine?

Yes. On a ProTech each module can be tested with a simulated speed signal, so the trip function is proved without running the turbine to trip speed. Where your procedure or your insurer asks for a real overspeed test, we do that too.

Do you do power management?

Yes. easYgen and LS-6 on generator sets and turbine generators, and the power management system around them, most recently on a turbine generator project in Egypt.

Do you supply parts?

Hard-to-find and obsolete control and instrumentation parts for steam turbine, compressor and generator controls, sourced through our supplier network, checked for compatibility, installed and tested on site.

How fast can you get an engineer to site?

Send the start date, location and scope and you get availability and an estimate the same working day. Offshore certificates (OPITO BOSIET/FOET, MIST, offshore medical) are kept current, so paperwork is not what holds you up.

Can you send more than one engineer?

Yes. For campaigns or several units at once we add contractors from our own network, under our agreement, our insurance and our reporting. How resource supply works.
