Compressor and Turbine Performance Assessment

MSE has developed gas turbine engine performance models of commonly used engines and advises operators on the causes of engine performance loss.

Accurate assessment of compressor and turbine performance is important to decide the equipment most in need of attention. A good engine maintenance schedule enables the operators to manage the turbine performance and prevent excessive power loss.

Manufacturers (OEM) provide guidelines for maintaining the health of their engines.
However, when operating a large fleet of gas turbines and compressors, frequently from different manufacturers, it is difficult to keep track of OEM specified maintenance schedules.

The cost of an engine overhaul is a major operating expenditure and operators need performance monitoring to decide their maintenance schedules, for example, when and how frequently to perform compressor wash.

MSE provides a range of services to suit operating companies. These include
 
Remote Monitoring of compressor and gas turbines
Performance loss investigations and advice on compressor wash
Determining the effect of compressor wash on engine power
Engine life and overhaul schedule
Advice on selecting, specifying and monitoring long term service agreements
Performance testing and operational issues
Upgrading the control system which may become obsolete with time
