Turbine and Large Reservoir Analysis

Preventing Turbine Failure with Oil Analysis

Operating equipment such as turbine units, large hydraulic units, and large compressors are critical to operations and have major costs associated with maintenance activities or downtime. Advanced annual testing provides an additional layer of insurance, recommended by organizations like EPRI and ASTM. The added testing is aligned with common issues that these large reservoir units often encounter and is designed to provide remaining useful lifetime frames to allow planned maintenance, instead of reactive downtime.

Available Test Packages

Our test packages provide the most complete information about the health of your turbine unit, large compressor, or large hydraulic reservoirs. These tests help our Lubrication Program Managers to properly guide you with any necessary action items regarding the oil’s remaining useful life, the presence of varnish, and overall equipment condition.
