Power Engineering
Does it seem like the demand for mechanical and electrical power is insatiable, or that capacity margins are razor thin? If so, then you are not alone. This reality keeps Macek Power busy. Our rotating equipment expertise, combined with practical application of the science of thermodynamics, positions Macek Power to support customers with power generation engineering needs such as plant design and layout, equipment specification and procurement, and efficiency evaluation. We have extensive experience with combined-cycle, cogeneration (combined heat and power), and simple-cycle (Brayton, Rankine, and organic Rankine) arrangements.
OWNER'S ENGINEER
Macek Power provides “Owner’s Engineer” services to owners, repair service providers, and end users who are understaffed or not staffed with the necessary expertise. These services include:
- Outage management
- Technical direction
- Turnaround supervision
HEAT BALANCE SIMULATION
At Macek Power, we provide heat balance simulation services that are designed to optimize efficiency and maximize output for our customers. Using a combination of in-house developed techniques and commercially available software, we can conduct application engineering, thermal efficiency, and steam path audit benefit/cost ratio calculations as needed. These studies are particularly beneficial to clients seeking government grants and tax credits for improved efficiency or for producing power with renewable energy sources.
EQUIPMENT PACKAGING
If you are implementing a smaller skid-mounted power package, then Macek Power is one of your best engineering and technical support options. We are proficient with machinery application, skid design and equipment layout, vendor selection and qualification, shaft alignment, instrument specification and location, customer connection requirements, installation, and commissioning.
