“Regulating the appropriate monitoring frequency for your turbines can improve the results of your power generating unit.”

Turbines are very important, expensive, and high-precision pieces of equipment. They are key for power generation and other sophisticated systems. Oil drains for power generating turbines are especially expensive, as they require additional procedures and significant downtime.

Scheduling turbine maintenance based on periodic analysis can improve the performance of any power generating unit. Tribo-Labs adjusts the monitoring frequency for your equipment based on model, application, environment, and age. The TRIBO 2 package is recommended for routine programs; TRIBO 3 for semi-annual and annual monitoring.

Benefits of Fluid Analysis
for Turbines

  • Monitor turbine oil oxidation and nitration with RPVOT and RULER tests
  • Control water separability (demulsibility) to maintain oil quality
  • Detect metallic wear by ICP to identify early mechanical issues
  • Evaluate flash point and viscosity index of turbine oil
  • Extend oil drain intervals with real data and reduce operating costs
  • Ensure continuity in critical power generation units
