Power facility operators are responsible for every detail of the plant, including improving power output and reducing expenses. An important strategy to achieve these critical goals is to use predictive analytics to forecast how local site ambient conditions and filter behavior will affect gas turbine performance. By monitoring these factors and collecting data in real time, predictive analytics tools and services help power facility operators understand the impact of environmental conditions, changing weather patterns and filter status on the health and performance of gas turbines. This article examines how calculating the impact of local site conditions can improve gas turbine power forecasting.

While gas turbine oil maintenance is recognized as being essential, many programs lack the basic tools to maintain their lubricants within specification. Existing lubricant maintenance is typically reactive in scope, uses filtration technology from 1970s and does not target the root cause of many lubricant failures: varnish

When designing ruled surface turbomachinery blades, several factors should be considered in order to achieve rapid production and high quality by flank milling.

70% of the total lifecycle costs for gas compressors come from energy consumption. Recent impeller improvements help compressors produce greater flow utilizing less power than previous designs.

The API standards are the commonly used standard in the hydrocarbon market. They establish rules for design, testing, and operation with the objective of safe and reliable operation for 20 years.

Hot corrosion is a source of nonrecoverable degradation on gas turbines. It is a chemical reaction between salts, sulfur and heat, where the damages can reduce an engine’s life by up to 75%. One of the most effective methods is to eliminate the contaminants triggering the chemical reaction. This paper examines the causes of hot corrosion and assesses various methods of mitigation.

Many manufacturers are unaware of hidden costs of operating their compressed air system. Could this be you? With all capital equipment purchases, the initial cost is not the only expense to consider. Often there are associated costs that are not always apparent at the time of purchase that can significantly affect operational budgets.
