Proper maintenance preserves performance of gas turbines

Gas turbines form a crucial part of many power generation facilities and provide an efficient and reliable power source that can be brought online as required. Maintaining that facility requires a well-planned maintenance programme that will deliver continued reliability, optimum performance, and efficiency as well as enabling improvements to be implemented. 

Sulzer offers many types of advanced component refurbishment solutions, demonstrating that a combination of expertise in material science, skilled workmanship, and highly developed in-house processes are prerequisites for the reliable and cost-effective extension of the life of a component. Repairs that improve the machine create significant added value and reduce the cost of ownership for the owners and operators of gas turbines, steam turbines, and compressors.
