Maintenance & Repair

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of January 12, 2026, covers news from Ansaldo Energia, Duke Energy, Babcock & Wilcox, Oglethorpe Power, and Arabelle Solutions.

The compressor trains will perform two process duties—flash-gas compression and high-pressure gas injection—maintaining maximum production in Brazil’s Orca field.

The M701 JAC gas turbine features a flexible operating profile and hydrogen co-firing capability, playing a critical role in stabilizing Qatar’s electricity power grid.

Each half-speed steam turbine, featuring improved cycle efficiency, will be coupled to a hydrogen and water-cooled GIGATOP 4-pole generator synchronized to the 50-Hz Polish grid.

Once operational, the combined-cycle facility will support long-term, system-wide load growth for homes, businesses, and existing industries across Monroe County, GA.

Per Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz, properly executed scheduled and condition-based maintenance methods are adequate to prevent failures, costly shutdowns, and interventions.

Digital tools, AI, and predictive maintenance are reshaping turbomachinery and driving gains in reliability, efficiency, and long-term asset performance in 2025.

The company will integrate EthosEnergy’s TurboCare team, technical data, and intellectual property to support a broad range of OEM technologies.

In addition to delivering centrifugal compressors and LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbines, the full scope includes commissioning services, spares and warranties, and full string tests.

The Qatar Facility E Independent Water and Power Production facility includes a 2,400-MW gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant approximately 10 km southeast of Doha.

In addition to electrical submersible pumps, the FusionPro and Leucipa solutions will enhance operational reliability and minimize non-productive time for Kuwait Oil’s fields.

Beyond supplying power for on-board electrical systems, the mtu Series 4000M35S power generators can secure the propulsion system during emergency scenarios.

The major milestones for Belgium’s electricity supply include a combined-cycle gas turbine plant, a battery energy storage system, and the Coo pumped-storage plant.

The environmental product declarations tracked data on resource consumption, emissions, waste generation, and recyclability for the mtu Series 4000 DS2500 and 1600 systems.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of December 8, 2025, covers news from Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Air Products, and John Crane.

The partners will pursue aging power projects across Central Asia, Africa, and Southeast Asia, executing plant performance improvements and rehabilitation work.

Previously, the undisclosed operator shifted its strategy from equipment availability to long-term reliability and enlisted John Crane to solve sealing inconsistency issues at a flagship refinery.

The mtu Series 4000 power generator is a low-carbon solution for data centers, allowing users to quickly generate up to 2.8 MW of electricity while filtering CO2 from exhaust gases.

Many turbomachinery diagrams are outdated and recommend axial machines over centrifugals, but modern technological advancements must be considered for industrial applications.

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of December 1, 2025, covers news from Doosan Škoda Power, Rolls-Royce, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Entergy Louisiana.

Although Malaysia’s decarbonization efforts focus on hydropower and solar, Everllence’s gas engines can balance fluctuating renewable input with short response times and high efficiency.

With U.S. power demand increasing due to data centers and ruled-out renewables, fogging and wet compression technology can help generate power quickly and inexpensively.

Among other causal factors, stress concentrations accumulate in areas with sharp edges, so filleting and chamfering is required to enable the smooth flow of stress streamlines.

The 2025 Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia covered hydrogen compressor testing, new gas seal technology, various pumps for ammonia and supercritical operations, and more.

On the modernization side, Doosan Skoda will deliver a turnkey solution covering the design, manufacturing, civil works, installation, and commissioning of the Opatovice Power Plant.
