Maintenance & Repair

The non-contacting, gas-lubricated seal offers simplicity of maintenance, reduced downtime, and significantly minimized power consumption—up to 90 – 95% less usage.

Mechanically sealed pumps are subject to cavitation damage, thermal shock, and more when operating with ammonia, so operators deploy sealless designs to counter corrosive effects.

The plant will capture, purify, and liquefy up to 30,000 tons of CO2 per year, which is then transported via tanker for use in the food industry.

The European Union’s Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking aims to transform aviation toward decarbonization, sustainability, and new propulsion concepts.

Dr. Eric Petersen, Director of the Texas A&M Turbomachinery Lab, discusses a focus on centrifugal compressors, vibration and reliability, and new short courses at TPS 2025.

Facing rising demand, decarbonization targets, and supply chain volatility, John Crane’s Nico Schmaeling urged turbomachinery professionals at the 2025 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposium to address the energy trilemma—security, affordability, and sustainability—through smarter design, efficiency upgrades, and cross-industry collaboration.

A major ethane transmission company installed the Type 8628VL seals on inconsistent pump equipment, achieving non-contact performance, low leakage, and zero failures.

With the new Flex selective catalytic reduction system, ship operators may reduce their physical footprint by up to 42% and cut NOx by 75% compared to IMO II limits.

The new gas turbines, steam turbines, and auxiliary equipment will increase power generation capacity to meet rising industrial and residential electricity demand.

The international consortium partners are progressing on the engine demonstrator, technologies for additive manufacturing, cooling systems, and high-pressure compressor design.

With new power plants taking longer to come online, EthosEnergy helps customers extend their current assets through condition monitoring, refurbishment, and a commitment to efficiency.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of September 1, 2025, covers news from Baker Hughes, Doosan Enerbility, Doosan Škoda Power, and Rolls-Royce.

The five-year contract addition allows EthosEnergy to continue life-extension strategies, maximizing asset uptime and minimizing cost for Spirit Energy’s gas assets.

The company will execute reconstruction while six installed machines, boilers, and other equipment remain in full operation, presenting a challenge that requires extensive coordination.

The Military University of Technology in Warsaw, Poland, will use GE Aerospace’s course material and training to support F110-GE-129E engine maintenance.

The engineering and equipment scope includes five 60-MWe units, turboexpanders, and one BRUSH generator for the Cape Station project in Utah.

The 175D engines will power fast patrol vessels with waterjet propulsion systems, executing coastal surveillance, search-and-rescue, military missions, and more.

Previously, the company supplied critical power and compression systems for bp’s Tangguh LNG plant in Papua Barat, Indonesia.

The project secured multiple customers across Norway and continental Europe, including Hafslund Celsio, Heidelberg Materials, Yara, Ørsted, and Stockholm Exergi.

The power plant, supported by six gas engines and auxiliary equipment, balances the grid and provides flexible power during peak demand or energy shortages.

Michael Michaud of the Hydraulic Institute says design improvements, more efficient motors, and AI-enabled analysis technologies will improve pump reliability and maintenance.

Bonatti is executing engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning and startup for port facilities, underground pipelines, and fiber optics.

The Capstone West Territory now receives the Energy-as-a-Service package, which includes service, parts, technical support requests, and microturbine technology.

M&A involves more than just finances, as major technology developers combine portfolios to consolidate related products and simplify supply chains.

In conjunction with dual-inlet, high-flow technology, the P650 DF allows for easy maintenance through its split gear case, split bearing, seal, and detachable airend designs.
