Backed by decades of engineering experience and a world-class manufacturing facility, we help extend turbine life and performance while lowering operational costs.
Why Upgrade Legacy Gas Turbine Frames?
Upgrading older frames with modern technology delivers clear, long-term value:
- Improved Performance – Boost power output, reduce emissions, and enhance fuel efficiency.
- Increased Reliability – Minimize unplanned downtime by replacing aging components with proven, high-reliability upgrades.
- Extended Operational Life – Modernization delays capital investment and maximizes the value of existing assets.
- Enhanced Safety – Integrate newer safety standards and reduce risk for operators and facilities.
- Cost Efficiency – Lower lifecycle costs by extending maintenance intervals and improving part durability.
Supported Frame Types
We offer tailored support and component upgrades for:
- 6F Frame
