Gas Turbine
Retrofits and
Upgrades

Combustion system retrofits, performance upgrade packages, and emissions compliance solutions for GE, Siemens, and MHI heavy-duty gas turbines. 350+ upgrades installed across 30+ countries.

PSM delivers retrofit and upgrade solutions that enhance the performance, efficiency, and emissions profile of existing gas turbines, including GE 7F, 9F, 6B, 7EA, 9E, and Siemens/MHI 501Fframes, as well as legacy B/E-class and Frame 5 platforms. Our combustion technologies and hot gas path upgrade packages allow operators to maximize output, extend inspection intervals, meet evolving emissions regulations, and lower total lifecycle costs without replacing the turbine.
