DIESEL COMMISSIONING SERVICES WHICH GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND

Our knowledge of commissioning packages for diesel generators is unparalleled. We are fully aware, thanks to our experience with the diesel procedure, that the main financial advantages only become apparent when the diesel arrangement is continuously in operation. Therefore, minimizing downtime is our main goal for every diesel generator commissioning project. Our engineers will make an effort to find anything that can result in a service disruption once the set has been operating for a while during the commissioning procedure. During the commissioning process, we’ll also take steps to lessen the likelihood of upcoming failures.

THE DIESEL COMMISSIONING PROCESS

A generator set is brought online and tested for functionality during the generator commissioning process. Because it frequently involves civil works, mechanical equipment, fuel and storage tanks, and storage tanks, this process can occasionally be complicated. We handle the installation of the generator itself, transmission and distribution lines, switchgear, and other necessary equipment as part of our commissioning service.

After that, we put it through a rigorous testing process to make sure it is producing power and heat within the predetermined limits. Testing methods include vibrational analysis, thermal imaging, and load testing. We frequently measure fuel efficiency and sound attenuation as well. The generator can be safely put into service once it has undergone testing and is working well. In addition to completing our internal testing checklist, we’ll also be using our unbeatable experience to look for the non-obvious faults and potential problem areas that others may miss.

HANDOVER

The handover stage is the process of transferring a generator from WBPS to the client. It takes place after commissioning. In the handover, all relevant information about the generator is passed on to the new owner. This includes information such as the operating instructions, maintenance history, safety parameters, fault finding and troubleshooting.

At WB Power Services we are committed to providing support to our clients even long after the commissioning and handover process has been completed. It’s our mission to ensure that our generators operate with the utmost safety and reliability.
