Leroy-Somer Electric Power Generation

Energy from waste plant chooses Leroy Somer for alternator overhaul Generator restored to ‘as-new’ performance levels in flawless overhaul

When a major integrated waste management facility (IWMF) based in Lincolnshire, UK, discovered that the alternator mounted on the rear of its main steam turbine was becoming increasingly contaminated with dirt and dust, the plant’s technical team took the decision to commission a total overhaul of the system. Leroy Somer, the manufacturer of the alternator, won the tender for the overhaul based on its OEM status and level of expertise. The work took place at Leroy Somer’s Orléans facility, France, and was completed successfully within a strict three-week window, working first time upon reinstallation and now operating at ‘as-new’ performance levels.
