Murray Steam Turbine Inspection & Repairs

We recently completed another Murray Steam Turbine overhaul at our Steam Path Repair facility in Pevely, Missouri.  We completely disassembled the unit, replaced damaged blades, performed minor diaphragm repairs, performed minor case repairs, balanced the rotor, and reassembled the unit for shipment.  If you have an industrial steam turbine that will need inspection and repair in the future please contact us for a free estimate.  Our qualified repair technicians perform excellent work, and you can rest easy knowing your turbine will run smoothly and efficiently throughout the next run cycle.

Blade/Bucket Repairs and Replacements

There’s a lot happening in our Midwest Steam Turbine Repair Facility right now.  We’re performing blade/bucket change outs on a number of rotors this spring.  Contact us if you have any future blade/bucket repair or replacement needs.

Stellite Overlay on Steam Turbine Valve Components

We have developed advanced welding processes to overlay stellite into the bore of a bushing and to other areas on valves prone to excessive wear. Our process will virtually eliminate the build up of scale on those parts. It also significantly reduces erosion on other parts of the valve in the steam path.  CONTACT US today to learn more about how we can add stellite to your steam turbine valve components.

Upgrade Benefits:

  • Reduced Scale Build up on components
  • Prevent Premature Valve Failure
  • Enhance Valve Service Life
  • Improve Operating Reliability
  • Reduce Maintenance Frequency and Cost
Before After
Westinghouse Throttle Valve Main Plug with Severe Erosion.

The same throttle valve main plug back in our shop for evaluation after 50,000 operating hour – no erosion, no cracks and unit had zero operating issues while in service. Prior to the upgrade, the plugs were being replaced every 18 to 24 months.

On-Site Turbine Repair Services

If it is beneficial to you to have turbine component repairs performed on-site, we offer our portable equipment to be ready when components are removed from the turbine.  Contact us today to reserve our portable repair equipment for your next turbine outage.
