Curtiss-Wright Partners with Exelon to Offer Valve Performance Improvements to Power Industry

BREA, CA – April 8, 2021 – Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear Division (Curtiss-Wright) announced today that it has signed an agreement with Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon Generation) to license the company’s valve program performance data. Working in partnership with Exelon Generation, Curtiss-Wright will leverage the performance data to increase the effectiveness of its StressWave ultrasonic leak detection technology and promote the implementation of best practices in valve assessment, analysis, and performance across the U.S. nuclear fleet and power generation industry.

Exelon Generation has utilized Curtiss-Wright’s StressWave technology as part of their valve program for more than a decade. During this time, the ultrasonic leak detection platform has delivered valuable insights into Exelon Generation’s valve maintenance practices, resulting in a near elimination of premature valve failures, extension of valve maintenance frequency, and realization of significant cost savings. 

“This partnership pairs Curtiss-Wright’s StressWave technology with the wealth of data and experience accumulated by Exelon,” says Kurt Mitchell, Vice President and General Manager of Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear Division. “The agreement helps improve valve maintenance outcomes by reducing performance issues while also potentially increasing maintenance cycles, ultimately resulting in cost savings.”
