Turbomachinery News Network: RMS, Baker Hughes, Doosan Enerbility, and more

Author(s)James Cook

The Turbomachinery News Network, for the week of February 23, 2026, covers news from Rotating Machinery Services, Baker Hughes, Doosan Enerbility, Ansaldo Energia, and IHI.

Welcome to the 35th edition of the Turbomachinery News Network. I’m James Cook, associate editor at Turbomachinery International.

Rotating Machinery Services recently acquired East Coast Mechanical & Marine, a provider of rotating equipment field services, millwright labor, and outage support. The acquisition incorporates 27 experienced field-service professionals—from turbomachinery millwrights to technical field advisors—into RMS’s Global Technology Solutions business segment. ECMM improves the company’s ability to perform fully integrated field execution services across the energy, petrochemical, refining, power generation, and heavy industrial sectors.

Boom Supersonic contracted Baker Hughes to deliver 25 BRUSH Power Generation electric generators, automatic voltage regulators, and cubicles for Boom’s AI data center customer, Crusoe. The generators will be paired with Boom’s 42-MW Superpower natural gas turbines to generate highly efficient and reliable electricity for advanced AI data centers. With a prior order for six electric generators in 2025, these units will collectively deliver 1.21 GW of onsite electricity capacity.

Doosan Enerbility signed an approximately KRW 320 billion contract with its Czech subsidiary, Doosan Skoda Power, to supply a steam turbine and turbine control system for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant Units 5 and 6—a nuclear newbuild project underway in the Czech Republic. The contract scope includes supplying two machinery units consisting of the steam turbine-generator and control system.

Enerwave S.A. awarded Ansaldo Energia a contract to install a comprehensive gas turbine upgrade for the Thisvi combined-cycle power plant in Greece. The enhancement applies to Thisvi’s AE94.3A gas turbine, with installation planned for March 2027. It will increase power output, overall efficiency, and operational flexibility, while reducing CO2 emissions. The company also renewed its previous long-term service agreement, now providing technical support for another 14 years.

IHI Corp. and IHI Rotating Machinery Engineering executed a successful demonstration test for a new process gas compressor using CO2 as the working fluid, achieving a maximum discharge pressure of 20 Mega-Pascals Gauge. The test deployed a turbo-type unit featuring a geared, multi-shaft, multi-stage configuration with multiple pinion shafts driven by an internal gear system. A successful outcome enables the injection of supercritical CO2 into deep geological formations, like deep saline aquifers, to advance commercial carbon capture, utilization, and storage and industrial decarbonization.
