How a plant stopped CFB boiler tube repairs from 500 to 0

In this audio case study, we'll talk about the changing maintenance strategy of the power plant operating two Circulating Fluidized Bed boilers. In 2015, they required 500 tube repairs across their units, leading to severe production disruptions. We'll explain why their boiler reliability was compromised and what they learned from it.
