Our Steam Path Repair facility in Pevely, Missouri has many steam turbine rotors that come through each and every year. One of the services we offer to our customers after repairs have been performed is a low speed balance. You can see the process in action here on a 3-bearing steam turbine rotor for a turbine that is rated at approximately 80MWs.
We are seeing many inspections scheduled on the D-11 fleet of steam turbines all across the United States. This fleet has very specific needs when it comes to maintaining and repairing them, and we have solutions for many of the common repairs needed. From the diaphragms to the packing boxes, and every other component on this machine, we offer repair solutions that will provide you with an efficient and reliable turbine for the foreseeable future. We will execute a turnkey field service inspection at your site with our qualified Technical Field Advisors and turbine execution teams, perform any of the steam path repairs (rotor, diaphragms, etc.) at our Midwest Steam Path Repair Facility, as well as inspect, repair, and manufacture new components for the associated steam valves at our Southeast Valve Repair Facility. If you have any inspections scheduled on your D-11 steam turbines please contact us today to learn more about what we can offer.
We recently received a call from a paper & pulp producer in the Southern U.S. to assist them with an emergency stop valve they were having issues with. Obviously an important safety component to any turbine, we immediately mobilized a Technical Field Advisor to assist in identifying the root cause and developing a path forward. The inspection revealed a broken retaining ring inside the stop valve. We had a new retaining ring manufactured, stop valve re-assembled, and assisted with unit start-up all in just over 24 hours, allowing the plant to get back online as soon as possible. This was another example of our quick emergency response times when there is a customer in need.
