Eskom seeks information on drone-based technologies for detecting leaks in coal-fired power station flue gas ducting systems. Key requirements include UV light inspection, thermography, and fluorescent tracer powder applications.
Eskom is requesting information on commercially available technologies for detecting leakages in flue gas ducting systems within coal-fired power stations. The focus is on advanced inspection methods, specifically drone-assisted systems that utilize infrared thermography, fluorescent tracer techniques, and ultraviolet (UV) detection technologies. This initiative aims to enhance operational efficiency by identifying and addressing duct leakages proactively, which are known to contribute to excessive auxiliary power consumption and reduced combustion efficiency.
The selected technologies must operate effectively in harsh industrial environments characterized by high noise levels and dust concentration. Suppliers are expected to provide detailed information about their products, including experience in deploying similar solutions, evidence of successful implementations, and the capabilities of their technologies in real-world applications. The goal is to gather insights that will inform Eskom's approach to improving the efficiency and reliability of its power generation processes.
This tender is suitable for businesses specializing in drone technology, industrial inspection services, and advanced leakage detection solutions, particularly those with experience in the energy sector and coal-fired power generation.
