Key Applications

Where Power Generation work actually happens

Process area by process area: the engineering challenge, how we solve it, why that approach is the right one, and the exact product line behind the claim.

Steam generation

boiler feedwater control, steam pressure regulation, and safety relief for drums and superheaters

The challenge
A boiler drum and superheater sit at the sharpest end of the plant's safety case. An overpressure event here is the scenario every other safeguard exists to prevent, and it has to be caught in the first second, not the tenth.
Our solution
Farris Series 6400/6600 flanged steam safety valves protect boiler drums and superheaters to their exact ASME set pressure, Series 1890 covers auxiliary steam, and Dyna-Flo control valves hold feedwater and desuperheating spray on target.
Why it works
These are steam-specific safety-valve designs, not general-purpose relief valves adapted for steam. The seat, disc, and spring are engineered around steam's compressibility and flashing behavior at the set pressure that actually matters.

Gas turbines

fuel gas control, inlet air filtration, and emergency shutdown systems

The challenge
Fuel gas skids need control valves that respond fast and fail safe. A turbine trip sequence gives the shutdown valve a fraction of a second to close, every time, with zero tolerance for a sticky actuator.
Our solution
Dyna-Flo's fail-closed (DFC) and fail-open (DFO) large-diaphragm actuators drive fuel-gas isolation and control valves to a guaranteed fail-safe position on loss of signal or air supply.
Why it works
A spring-return actuator needs no solenoid, battery, or working control signal to reach its safe position. The spring alone gets it there, which is the entire point of an emergency shutdown valve.

Combined cycle

HRSG control, duct burner regulation, and condensate management

The challenge
A heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) has to track a gas turbine's constantly changing exhaust temperature and flow, so its control valves cycle far more often than a conventional boiler's ever would.
Our solution
Dyna-Flo instrumentation, from 4000 Series pressure controllers to PS2 digital positioners, keeps HRSG and duct-burner control valves tracking setpoint through continuous load changes, with HART-ready positioners for remote diagnostics.
Why it works
A digital positioner with on-board diagnostics flags a sticking valve or actuator problem before it causes a trip, not after. That is the difference between a scheduled adjustment and an unplanned outage.

Cooling systems

circulating water control, condenser tube maintenance, and cooling tower isolation

The challenge
Condenser tubes see constant flow and biological fouling; a leaking tube dilutes vacuum and cuts turbine efficiency long before it's bad enough to force a shutdown to fix.
Our solution
EST Pop-A-Plug seals a leaking condenser tube in minutes without draining or opening the waterbox, and Dyna-Flo rotary valves isolate cooling-tower and circulating-water lines for maintenance.
Why it works
A hydraulically installed mechanical plug is a same-shift fix, so the unit stays online at full or near-full load instead of waiting for the next planned outage to pull the tube bundle.

Balance of plant

compressed air systems, auxiliary steam, and fuel handling

The challenge
Balance-of-plant systems are numerous and varied, covering compressed air, auxiliary steam, and fuel handling, and each needs relief and control equipment correctly sized, not a one-size-fits-all valve pulled off a shelf.
Our solution
Farris Series 1890 and 2850 cover the general air, steam, and liquid relief duty across these systems, sized with Farris' own SIZEMASTER™ software instead of rule-of-thumb selection.
Why it works
Purpose-sized relief avoids both failure modes of a guessed valve: undersized, which doesn't protect, or oversized, which chatters and wears out early. SIZEMASTER™ removes the guesswork.

Water chemistry & thermal measurement

boiler feedwater and high-purity make-up, superheater and reheater tube metal, and flue-gas flow

The challenge
High-purity water chemistry is where boiler damage starts: organic carbon carried into the cycle breaks down into acids that attack the tubes, and by the time a tube leak shows it, the cause is weeks old. The superheater has the same problem in metal: gas-path temperature says very little about what the tube itself is at.
Our solution
Blue Dragon's U1600-O measures TOC in high-purity water down to 1 ppb, reagent-free, while MESIT tube-skin and multipoint assemblies read superheater and reheater tube metal directly and Lauris extreme-temperature meters take flue-gas flow at up to 600 °C.
Why it works
A reagent-free analyzer has no consumable to run out and no chemistry to dose, so a continuous cycle-chemistry measurement does not depend on a store of reagent nobody reordered.
