Quick turnaround

Planning ahead and maintaining spare parts are important aspects of operating gas-fired power plants. The turbines are expected to create electrical energy around-the-clock, so downtime needs to be minimized. For one plant in Mexico, an unexpected turbine crash required a quick solution, and the spare rotor was also awaiting repair. Fortunately, Sulzer delivered an innovative solution inside 45 days to get the plant running again.
