Steam Turbine Retrofit
The search to increasingly enhance the use of equipment and processes so that the cost-benefit ratio is the best possible is a constant in the industrial sector. So, the retrofit of steam turbines is one of the procedures that must be performed.
Wortice, a company operating in several industrial segments, understands the importance of steam turbines retrofitting and that's why we prepared this special content for you to understand even more about how this service can increase the energy capacity in equipment such as electric power generators, mills, chippers, shredders, turbo-pumps, exhausters, centrifuges, blowers, propellers, compressors, fans, among others.
The power of steam turbines
Steam turbines are responsible for transforming steam energy into energy in three main stages that runs electric power generators, mills, choppers, shredders, turbo-pumps, exhaust fans, centrifuges, blowers, propellers, compressors, fans, among others.
As can be seen, they are robust equipment essential for a dozen industries. That's why steam turbine retrofit is so important. And for that, you can count on Wortice through its Engineering departments .
Steam turbine retrofit is modernization
The modernization of an industrial park is not just about the purchase of new equipment. On the contrary: with the advancement of technology and the need of industries to find less expensive solutions, the machinery can be recovered and/or repowered. And the retrofit of steam turbines is an example.
The Engineering departments of Wortice, a reference company in the market with professionals with more than 40 years of knowledge, better explain the retrofit of steam turbines.
Steam turbine retrofit features
Through retrofit of steam turbines, equipment such as electric power generators, mills, chippers, shredders, turbo-pumps, exhaust fans, centrifuges, blowers, propellers, compressors, fans, among others, benefit from:
- operational safety;
- reliability;
- technology;
- longer service life;
- guaranteed productivity;
- very profitable process.
Such characteristics are acquired with the retrofit of steam turbines, because the procedure is responsible for modernizing, repowering or recovering this equipment, promoting:
- parts exchange;
- software update;
- implementation of fixes;
- application of new features.
Therefore, the steam turbine retrofit must be carried out by a highly specialized and trained team. These questions are answered by Wortice professionals.
Identifying the need for steam turbine retrofit
The steam turbine retrofit is an essential service for renovation and adaptation to new requires. But how can we identify that the time has come to retrofit steam turbines in an industry?
Don't worry: Wortice presents below some topics that may show the need for a steam turbine retrofit:
- Drop in productivity;
- Embedded technology (Computer Numerical Control, Programmable Logic Command and Human-Machine Interface);
- Status of mechanical and hydraulic components.
How to retrofit a steam turbine
To perform the steam turbine retrofit you should consider:
- Machinery performance;
- The options of companies providing this service;
- The project developed;
- The materials used;
- Project implementation;
- The testing.
The retrofit of steam turbines is a modernization and repowering service that must be carried out by qualified and experienced companies such as Wortice, whose history is closely linked to the evolution of technology to each customer .
Steam turbine retrofit is also sustainability
Competition and technology have made machinery obsolete in a very short period of time. A complete exchange is unfeasible in many situations. Therefore, the steam turbine retrofit is a more effective mechanism when looking at the cost and it is also sustainable!
In times when we must care the environment and quality of life, the retrofit of steam turbines is an action that benefits beyond the production and financial health of the industry by:
- making machinery more energy efficient;
- saving water;
- adapting to current regulations;
- improving working conditions;
- reusing parts and other components.
