1.1 INTEK’S POWER INDUSTRY SERVICES
Intek manufactures RheoVac condenser and air in-leak monitors, Rheotherm circulating water
flow and fouling meters, flow meters, flow switches, as well as specialty temperature and pressure
measurement instruments. These specialty instruments for the power industry provide continuous
monitoring of critical steam surface condenser parameters important to plant thermal performance and
life cycle.
The data from these instruments have been used to gain a unique comprehensive understanding
of steam surface condensers and the condensation process. This understanding has enabled Intek to help
customers troubleshoot condensers with greater speed and accuracy than ever before. Intek has
expanded service offerings and developed an online information website for steam surface condensers,
available a
Intek has also taken advantage of its aerospace design tools and design expertise for the purpose
of retrofitting condensers to maximize performance and improve condensate chemistry. Intek has
transformed underperforming condensers into some of the best performing condensers in the world.
The condenser services team under Dr. Joseph Harpster’s leadership has also sought to educate
the industry by contributing volumes of material to ASME and EPRI regarding proper condenser
measurement and steam flow dynamics. Intek conducts a unique Condenser Operations and
Management Workshop for continuing education purposes. Tutorials and case studies are also available
a
for registered users.
