Modernizations & Upgrades for Industrial Steam Turbines

Industrial steam turbines can have service lives of 30 years or more and are important components in many industrial processes, in the oil&gas industry as well as power generation. Siemens modernizations and upgrades for industrial steam turbines have been specifically developed to meet the requirements for all different types of steam turbines and their applications.

Modernizations & Upgrades for Utility Steam Turbines

Given the relatively low cost of fuel to drive coal- and nuclear-powered steam turbine generators, and the increasing strategic value of existing sites, a modernization of existing equipment can be more cost-effective and faster than installing new generation equipment.
