A timely response to industry needs.

The pressures on plant operators have never been greater. Changing demographics in the workplace are leading to a loss of expertise amongst plant personnel. Increasing regulations covering issues from safety to emission control, while valuable, add to the difficulties of everyday management.

Howden has a long association with the power industry. In talking to utility company managers and others in the sector, we became aware of a real, and growing demand, for a service company that could, safely, reliably and cost-effectively, move on site and carry out wide-ranging maintenance operations to OEM standards within strict schedules and budgets. If this could be done with the minimum possible disruption to the everyday working of the power station, it would offer a valuable new resource to the industry.

The philosophy of turnkey is simple

Whatever the job, from routine servicing to major rebuilds or restructuring, we undertake and manage the whole process. We supply the equipment, the expertise and personnel, the parts and logistics, and the specialists and supervisors where required. That leaves our customers free to get on with their core business.

Emission Reduction

Our innovative EMISSIONGUARD™ TR² Packing Rings have prevented an estimated 20,173,000 Nm³ (693,144,000 scf) of gas from leaking through the vents of packing cases mainly in the petrochemical and natural gas compression industry. This reduction in emissions is equivalent to 60,500 metric tons of CO₂, which compares to 150,191,000 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle.
