The advanced mechanical seal technology allowed the LNG facility to replace API Plant 32 flush systems, lowering demineralized water demand and improving operational efficiency.

The integration propels both companies beyond their individual, equipment-focused structures into solution providers with response capabilities across gas turbines and compressors.

The proposed LNG export terminal near Matagorda, TX, will feature up to four liquefaction units installed on fixed platforms, each with a nominal capacity of 2.1 MTPA.

The demonstration was conducted at IHI’s dedicated test facility, engineered to simulate the operating conditions of GE Vernova’s F-class gas turbine.

The deal covers lifecycle services for aeroderivative gas turbines across offshore and onshore assets, supporting production continuity and scalable energy output across Brazil.

The expansion project will add transportation capacity to the Wahalajara System, which spans over 2,000 km and supplies 16% of Mexico’s domestic natural gas demand.

A Type SB2 upstream pumping mechanical seal extended seal life from weeks to over a year, reduced water consumption by 90%, and lowered total ownership cost by $75,000.

The centrifugal chiller system is designed to deliver high efficiency, reduced water consumption, and reliable cooling for large-scale AI computing infrastructure.

Two RB compressor skids will be installed in Arthit field, which contains Thailand’s first large-scale carbon capture and storage project under a larger greenhouse gas reduction initiative.

The Aalo-X experimental reactor completed several assessments at the Idaho National Laboratory, including preliminary and final design reviews involving over 40 experts.

Optical gas imaging visualizes and quantifies emissions that are typically difficult to detect, allowing customers to protect process efficiency, environmental objectives, and employee safety.

The agreement builds on years of collaboration to localize 7F-class gas turbine technology as Doosan moves to expand domestic production capacity in South Korea.

The acquired company employs highly experienced technical supervisors and features advanced engineering capabilities, such as virtual assembly technology and 3D laser measurement.

The HydroPoLEn project has designed and successfully validated a combustion process, mechanical components, and parts for hydrogen-based propulsion in the maritime sector.

In addition to reduced fuel consumption, lower OPEX, and minimized CO2 emissions, the upgrade will increase the turbine’s ramp rate to rapidly address grid fluctuations.

BRUSH air-cooled generators and Superpower natural gas turbines will provide the flexible, reliable baseload power needed for advanced AI and high-performance computing.

The demonstration’s outcome allows for the injection of supercritical CO2 into deep geological formations, like deep saline aquifers, to advance commercial CCUS work.

Although the ruling only affects tariffs imposed under the emergency IEEPA statute, the action may point to future scrutiny of tariffs imposed under national security claims, like the ones affecting raw material imports for the turbo industry.

By integrating East Coast Mechanical & Marine, Rotating Machinery Services can combine high-quality field execution with metrology, laser scanning, digital twins, and tooling.
