Morgan Advanced Materials to Showcase High Performance Thermal Insulation Solutions and Precision Engineering Capabilities at POWER-GEN Asia 2013

Online, October 1, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Morgan Advanced Materials, a leading provider of heat management insulation solutions and trusted supplier of components for power distribution and generation, will showcase its range of thermal insulation solutions and precision engineering capabilities at POWER-GEN Asia 2013 being held at the IMPACT Exhibition & Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand from 2-4 October, 2013. The annual exhibition and forum convenes Southeast Asia's power industry professionals to share information regarding the challenges facing the power sector and discuss possible solutions to meet future energy demands in the region.

Located on stand M18, Morgan Advanced Materials will exhibit a range of innovative products including SUPERWOOL® Plus Insulating fibre, Insulating Fire Bricks (IFB), Pre-Sintered Pre-Forms (PSP™) and Active Braze Alloys (ABA® ) products along with advanced ceramic components that play a critical role in both traditional and renewable power generation and throughout the electricity supply chain.

Asia has approximately 4.2 billion people, or 60% of the world's population. Of the 4.2 billion, about 600 million reside in Southeast Asia. According to the 3rd Association of Southeast Asian Nations Energy Outlook "energy consumption in ASEAN has been revised upwards from previous assumptions reaching 1018 mtoe (million tons of oil equivalent) in 2030." The International Energy Agency also estimates that the demand for energy will grow more quickly in Asia than in any other part of the world in the coming years.

"With the increasing power consumption, there is an industry requirement for more efficient and cost effective power plants. Morgan Advanced Materials is dedicated to helping the power generation and distribution industry by delivering high performance insulating products that have been proven to reduce energy costs and improve environmental performance. In Thailand, for instance, our thermal insulation solutions are boosting efficiencies at heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) plants," said Ian Robb, President, Asia. "We have a broad portfolio of offering for the energy market, from components, to materials technology to precision engineering capabilities that allow more efficient use of energy in a wide variety of industries," Robb added.

At the exhibit

SUPERWOOL® Plus Insulating fibre and Insulating Fire Bricks developed by Morgan provide a range of insulating solutions for energy efficient and cost effective power plants to meet the demands of ever-changing and harsh environments in power generation. It's market leading range of Insulating Firebricks is a vital component in many industrial installations which require high performance high temperature insulating products for applications above 1000oC and structural integrity capable of dealing with erosive and abrasive environments.

Pre-Sintered Pre-Forms and Active Braze Alloys help to extend the service life of equipment in the energy market. A Pre-Sintered Pre-Form is a sintered metallurgy product ideal for high temperature applications in the power generation industry. It provides solutions for crack repairs and re-establishing wear areas in industrial gas turbine engines, saving considerable time and money and extending the life of engine components by up to 300 percent.

Experienced Morgan Advanced Materials engineers will be available on Stand M18 to provide a general overview of Morgan's capabilities, demonstrate the products on display and to answer questions and offer advice and recommendations on the use of its products.
