Operations and Maintenance Projects to Increase Your Bottom Line
In today's competitive energy industry, it is more important than ever for power plants to find ways to increase their bottom line. This webinar will explore two different case studies of how power plants have successfully implemented operations and maintenance (O&M) projects to improve their efficiency and profitability.
The first case study will focus on a power plant that used a combination of in-house and outside resources to implement a comprehensive O&M program. The program resulted in a significant increase in the plant's efficiency, which led to lower operating costs and a higher bottom line.
The second case study will focus on a power plant that outsourced its O&M to a third-party contractor. The contractor was able to implement a more efficient and effective O&M program than the plant could have on its own, which resulted in significant cost savings and increased profitability.
This webinar will provide you with valuable insights into how you can implement your own O&M projects to improve your power plant's efficiency and profitability.

Siraj and his team guide owners through critical business decisions and processes to improve total asset performance, develop cost-effective O&M strategies to expertly integrate Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Conventional Power Systems (CPS). This approach empowers owners to achieve lifecycle cost savings of 35% or more. A recent project involved rebuilding a GT26 gas turbine following a catastrophic failure. Siraj’s pragmatic and innovative solutions delivered significant time and cost savings. Additionally, he has led projects to upgrade several turbine control systems including on GE 7EA, W501D5A, LM6000, and other gas turbines, thereby increasing plant operational efficiency, reliability, and profitability.
