Isolating valves should be incorporated in the system so that sections of the ring main can be isolated to enable repairs to be carried out. Leak Detection Case Study at Sleaford Renewable Energy Plant. How the plant works : The straw is burned in a boiler to produce high temperature, high pressure steam, which is used to drive the steam turbine generator. The steam drives the turbine’s rotor, which in turn generates electricity that is then fed into the national grid. The spent steam is collected and condensed into water before being channelled back into the boiler to start the cycle again.
