Natural Gas : The fuel of choice in state-of-the-art power plants
The industry charged with producing electric power has historically been one of the biggest culprits of pollution worldwide. Strict regulations have been put in place to force the industry to develop new methods aimed at reducing harmful emissions in order to diminish environmental harm.
SGS expert testing, inspection, certification and verification guarantees that these stringent directives are met. Modern technologies permit natural gas, the cleanest of the fossil fuels, to be increasingly implemented in generating clean electricity. The use of natural gas has many environmental benefits including the emission of less greenhouse and smog related gasses, positively affecting overall air quality. Due to its abundance, natural gas also offers a cost-efficient alternative to dirty, more expensive resources. Power plants fuelled by natural gas are therefore becoming the popular choice of today's environmentally responsible and business savvy operators.
The Added Value of SGS Services
SGS meticulously inspects equipment and materials for mechanical defects or regulatory deficits at the manufacturer level as well as on site in order to prevent costly corrective actions during the construction phase or catastrophic shutdowns once the plant is in operation. Expertise in testing, inspection, certification and verification as only SGS can deliver is of paramount priority to maximize asset excellence and value. SGS is proud to have been chosen to assist LANCO in this prestigious endeavour.
