Environment One Corporation (E/One) products

Corrective action prompted by early warning of generator overheating can mean the difference between a brief shutdown for minor repairs and a major overhaul involving weeks or even months of costly downtime. E/One pioneered the development of the Generator Condition Monitor (GCM) and in more than 1,500 applications worldwide, operators have the opportunity of taking corrective action if and when a critical situation occurs. Building on more than three decades of proven field experience, and incorporating international requirements for hazardous area locations, the Generator Condition Monitor-Explosion-Proof Design (GCM-X) assures a new level in generator performance, reliability, and safety.

Environment One`s Dual Hydrogen Control Panel (DHCP) was designed specifically for monitoring scavenging seal oil generators. The DHCP contains two independent analyzers that monitor the turbine-end seal drain enlargement, collector-end seal oil drain enlargement with both valving for manual or DCS operation for checking casing purity of the generator. The DHCP has the ability to automatically increase the amount of hydrogen gas scoured from the generator. The DHCP works with GE`s Mark IV, Mark V and Mark VI control systems.

Water, oil, and other contaminants cause corrosion in critical areas of electric power generators, resulting in diminished efficiency and increasing the likelihood of forced outages. Increased dew point levels also detract from generator efficiency by increasing windage losses. E/One`s Generator Gas Dryer (GGD II) is a dual-chamber system that continuously dries and recirculates generator cooling gas — even when the generator is on turning gear, which is a critical time to maintain low dew point.

The E/One Gas Station is a modular approach that combines monitoring and control systems onto a single skid, customized to meet specific power plant requirements and budgets.
