Services
Fuel Nozzle Repair
Our fuel nozzle repair service restores gas and liquid fuel components to OEM specifications through precision cleaning, inspection, and calibration. We address flow distribution issues and component wear while extending operational lifespan. Our in-house flow testing ensures optimal fuel distribution for improved turbine efficiency.
Inlet Fogging Systems
Our inlet fogging systems increase gas turbine output during warm weather through high-pressure water injection. Using stainless steel components and 3000 psi pumping systems, we deliver reliable power augmentation that improves mass flow and operational efficiency while maintaining system integrity.
Exhaust Transition Ducts
Our engineered exhaust transition ducts eliminate hot gas leakage in Rolls-Royce Avon systems. These proprietary components reduce power loss, lower maintenance costs, and improve safety by addressing inherent OEM design limitations through precision-engineered replacements.
Flow Testing Services
Our in-house flow testing facility verifies fuel nozzle performance against OEM standards. We use calibrated equipment to measure flow distribution, identify anomalies, and ensure proper calibration for optimal combustion efficiency and reduced downstream component stress.
Gas Turbine Component Repair
We provide comprehensive repair solutions for GE and Siemens gas turbine components. Our services include diagnostic analysis, reconditioning, and enhanced engineering modifications that address common failure modes while extending maintenance intervals and improving system reliability.
