Find new ways to cut gas-turbine refurbishment costs

Article Abstract:

Industrial gas turbines are now less costly to maintain and repair thanks to an array of simple improvements. Refurbishment advances have cut the cost of replacing blade sets, vanes and transition items, reducing total refurbishement costs by up to 25%. New ultrasmooth coating technologies can boost the efficiency of a refurbished gas turbine by as much as 5%. Dimensionally-based service improvements have gained in importance as airfoils have become increasingly geometrically complex.

Turbine seal provides significant cost savings

Article Abstract:

John Crane has developed the Type 28ST non-contacting seal which eliminates problems typically experienced with steam turbine drivers such as loss of steam energy, leakage caused by corrosion and rust, and shaft damage, and improves bearing reliability. It provides significant cost savings of $10,000 to $25,000 per drive per year. Its patented, non- contacting design reduces steam leakage to less tthan 5% of that of traditional sealing devices.

Break it up!

Article Abstract:

Chemical dispersants have emerged as critical process aids with applications ranging from oil spill remediation to industrial water treatment and solid stabilization in paints, coatings and personal care products. Increasing use of this chemical agent is due to its capacity to intermediate between incompatible materials. Dispersants are typically made of surfactants on an organic carrier, which maybe a solvent or polymer.
