Our Services
Engineering Solutions for Performance, Reliability & Compliance
BCT Vision (Pty) Ltd is an ISO 9001:2015 certified engineering partner delivering multidisciplinary solutions across South Africa. We combine advanced technical diagnostics with hands-on field support to help power utilities, mining operations, and manufacturing plants overcome complex operational challenges.
From machinery health monitoring to environmental compliance, our consolidated service portfolio is built to ensure your industrial operations are efficient, compliant, and sustainable.
Machinery Health & Condition Monitoring
We provide comprehensive maintenance and support strategies to ensure the long-term health and availability of your critical assets. Through onsite and remote technical support, we help industries minimize downtime and maximize equipment longevity.
Maintenance Services: Full-scale support including planned and emergency onsite services.
Strategic Support: Tailored Service Support Agreements (SSAs) and parts management (both client-owned and supplied).
Operational Integration: Provision of embedded engineering resources to work alongside your internal teams for seamless maintenance execution.
Reliability Engineering & Predictive Diagnostics
We utilize advanced diagnostic tools and engineering insights to detect potential failures before they occur. This service focuses on precision alignment, calibration, and predictive analysis to maintain system integrity.
Predictive Maintenance: Includes vibration data capturing and analysis, oil sampling, and high-resolution infrared thermal imaging scans.
Precision Mechanical Services: Precision laser alignment and both onsite and workshop balancing for rotating machinery.
Calibration & Readiness: Instrument calibration, mass flow verification (using guided wave radar), and comprehensive site evaluations or walkdowns.
STO Planning: Expertise in Shutdown, Turnaround, and Outage planning to ensure project milestones are met safely.
Plant Performance Testing & Efficiency
Our performance testing services provide a comprehensive evaluation of plant efficiency, reliability, and capacity. Using international standards (ASME, ISO, IEC), we identify performance gaps and quantify energy losses to optimize plant output.
Core Performance Tests: Detailed assessment of boiler thermal efficiency (ASME PTC 4.1), steam turbine heat rates (ASME PTC 6), and generator load response.
Auxiliary System Analysis: Efficiency testing for feedwater pumps, fans, air preheaters, and cooling towers to identify air ingress or heat transfer inefficiencies.
Energy Optimization: Specific energy consumption analysis and heat-rate programs designed to improve fuel economy and reduce operating costs.
Combustion Optimization & Fuel Analysis
We specialize in the characterization and optimization of fuel and combustion processes. By balancing air-to-fuel ratios and analyzing pulverized fuel (PF) distribution, we improve boiler stability and reduce unburned carbon losses.
Combustion Efficiency Testing: Flue gas analysis (O₂, CO, NOₓ, SO₂) and furnace temperature profiling to identify causes of heat loss.
PF & Coal Sampling: Isokinetic sampling (ISO 9931/ISO 18283) to determine fuel fineness, moisture, and calorific value.
System Fine-Tuning: Adjustment of burner air registers, classifier speeds, and coal feed rates to ensure a pipe-to-pipe balance within strict tolerances.
Emissions Monitoring & Environmental Compliance
BCT Vision helps industrial partners meet stringent environmental standards through accurate emissions testing. Our mobile laboratories allow for rapid, onsite compliance verification.
Mobile CEM Laboratory: Fully equipped mobile labs for continuous or spot emissions testing.
Technical Verification: Multi-point stratification and performance testing to ensure representative data collection.
Reporting & Compliance: Data correction modeling and comprehensive reporting to assist with environmental regulatory requirements.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Our NDT services provide essential material and component inspections without causing damage. We ensure the structural integrity of your assets using a variety of specialized testing methods.
Core Inspection Methods: Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT), and Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT).
Advanced Material Analysis: Positive Material Identification (PMI) to verify alloy compositions.
Integrity Checks: Hardness testing and coating thickness verification to monitor wear and corrosion protection.
Industrial Equipment & Custom Engineering
We supply high-quality industrial equipment and custom-engineered diagnostic tools. From off-the-shelf flowmeters to bespoke testing probes, we provide the hardware necessary for precise operational monitoring.
Flowmeter Technologies: Supply and installation of electromagnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, and mechanical water flowmeters.
Custom Probe Design: In-house design and CNC-manufacturing of isokinetic multi-port PF sampling probes and Pitot velocity probes built from heat-resistant alloys.
Specialized Hardware: Provision of flue gas analyzers, industrial fans, dampers, actuators, and custom-fabricated manifolds or ducting.
