Steam Turbine Re-rates

Efficiency Upgrades

​​Many steam turbines do not operate in the same cycle as originally designed.

• Sometimes operation at full capacity and steam is pressure reduced to process
• Sometimes steam process requirements change
• Many times the turbine is inefficient due to operation off design point
• Many times the turbine performance is substantially below optimum because of obsolete steam path design technology
• Many times the turbine performance is substantially below optimum because of steam path degradation

Potential Solutions:

• Increase unit efficiency by utilizing all energy available in the cycle
• Allow unit to pass all process flow to eliminate wasting energy and increase power
• Modify the turbine to operate at a more ideal configuration for the current cycle
• Upgrade the steam path to modern technology and repair degradation

It’s possible to make that imperfect steam turbine a perfect fit for your modern-day cycle – Pay Back can be substantial!
