A Paradigm Shift in Gas Turbine Lubricant Maintenance
May 2nd 2022While 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

GAS TURBINE HOT CORROSION: CAUSES, EFFECTS AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES v2
February 9th 2022Hot 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.
The Hidden Costs of Air Compressor Operation v3
February 3rd 2022Many 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.
