Steam Turbine & Condenser Performance Evaluation

Maximizing Steam Cycle Performance

GE's steam turbine/condenser performance evaluation service helps you optimize steam cycle performance. Our experienced performance engineers evaluate steam turbine, feedwater heater and condenser performance using a combination of remote data acquisition technology, precision test instrumentation and industry-leading analysis tools to identify and quantify performance shortfalls.

Features & Benefits

Our site visit includes a thorough visual inspection of plant piping to identify any leaks that are affecting plant performance. We also review your operational practices to identify opportunities to improve performance through operational changes. Upon completing the analysis, we provide specific recommendations you can implement to recover and optimize performance.

The scope of this service is customized to meet your objectives. We can analyze the steam turbine alone, the condenser alone or a combination of the steam turbine, condenser and associated feedwater heaters. The analysis can rely on available station instrumentation or on temporary precision instrumentation, depending on the accuracy and detail objectives.

Our steam turbine/condenser performance evaluation is designed specifically to optimize steam turbine and condenser performance by providing real, cost-effective solutions to help you:

  • Maximize turbine section efficiency
  • Maximize output
  • Improve heat rate
  • Eliminate losses due to steam or water leaks
  • Improve condenser performance
  • Ensure optimum vacuum system operation
