What is and Why TBM®?

What is TBM? TBM predictive and proactively manages all damage mechanisms that cause Boiler Tube Failure’s Why TBM? Boiler Tube Failures Remain the Most Significant EFOR & Cost Challenge - Difficult to Manage without a Dedicated System & Method

TBM versus Common Practice

Existing Programs

• Reactive

o Corrective

o Preventive (Go/No Go)

• Technical Focus

• Broad-Based

• Root Cause Analysis

• Planned Outage Inspections

• Root Cause-driven repairs

• Fragmented

o Difficult to Sustain

• Lagging
