Industrial gas turbines rely on specialized coatings to deliver continued performance and reliability. Renewing these protection systems is an important part of the routine maintenance schedule, and the quality of the new coatings is dependent on attention to detail and the expertise of the refurbishment team. With a high-level understanding of the processes, it is possible for operators to assess this expertise and select the most suitable suppliers.
Many gas turbines are used to support national power grids, generating electricity especially at times of peak demand. As such, their continued reliability offers that reassurance that when we flick the switch, the lights will come on.
