Nuclear Power
Supporting turbine lubrication, electrohydraulic control oil systems, fluid condition monitoring, and auxiliary equipment throughout nuclear power generating stations.
Fluid Management for Turbine, Generator, and Auxiliary Nuclear Power Systems
Nuclear generating stations rely on a complex network of rotating equipment and support systems beyond the reactor itself. Steam turbines, generators, feedwater pumps, condensate pumps, electrohydraulic control systems, and auxiliary equipment operate continuously to convert thermal energy into electrical power while maintaining plant output requirements.
HILCO products are applied throughout these systems where oil cleanliness, moisture control, and equipment condition directly influence the operation of critical plant assets.
