GL-TURBO Completed FAT for Singapore Ulu Pandan Project

10/1/2017 ¨C Wuxi, China ¨C On September 30, two GL-TURBO single-stage, high-speed centrifugal blowers (Model GL8/630KW/6.6KV), purchased by Ulu Pandan Water Reclamation Plant, successfully passed the pre-delivery Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). Ulu Pandan is GL-TURBO¡¯s first project in Singapore and the first project to undergo a Factory Acceptance Test by global customers.

From September 25th through 30th, GL-TURBO¡¯s Wuxi factory welcomed a group of eight people from PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency, and Pro-Ace Power & Control Pte Ltd, an EPC company. The week-long Factory Acceptance Test on the two single-stage, high-speed centrifugal blowers encompassed a series of rigorous assessments including a performance test, vibration test, noise test, and control test. Overall, the blowers operated extremely well, leaving the Singapore experts impressed with the outstanding performance exhibited.

Per requirements of the contract for the performance test, three power readings were obtained under each of five scenarios (100% of designed flow, and turndown at 80%, 75%, 60% and 45%), respectively. This provided us with the opportunity to show that our products are able to remain in high efficiency at full load and during turndowns. A full-spectrum analysis was carried out for the blower vibration test with 15 readings collected at different points around the blower under five scenarios. The results indicated that the blowers are expected to provide a substantially long life and minimal friction losses.

¡°We would like to express our gratitude to everyone involved in the FAT. The blower room presents a tough environment with uncomfortably high temperatures at this time of year and tremendous noise. Nevertheless, everyone worked tirelessly in the testing room. Our Singapore customers set the bar high to make sure that the blowers are mechanically robust as well as aesthetically pleasing. We are proud that our blowers had no issues with meeting their high expectations,¡± said Founder and CEO of GL-TURBO.
