Run your rotor for longer

There are more options than you might think when it comes to addressing GE gas turbine rotor life extension. Options beyond purchasing a new rotor from the OEM, moving to a new technology, or replacing your rotor with risky used and grey market options.        

You need a trusted partner to navigate these options. We have a dual advantage -  the ability to offer both the capability/quality/standards of an OEM (as the OEM for Fiat and Mature Westinghouse gas turibnes) and the commercial flexibility of an ISP.

Over the last 15 years, we have focused on the rotor market and gained extensive experience in engineering, repair, and manufacturing of components for B, E, and F-class units.

This means that we can offer both rotor replacement and life extensions on existing rotors; this includes new rotors that are manufactured in-house.

Benefits of rotor life extension 

There are significant advantages to staying in your current technology and choosing a rotor life extension over a change in frame type or technology, most notably cost efficiency and the carbon-friendly decision to reuse versus manufacture new.  

EthosEnergy is the only non-OEM rotor option available for B/E/F class that uses OEM technology and materials. Key benefits include: 

  • Fully compatible and interchangeable to minimize downtime
  • Improved design on new manufacture rotors to address known weaknesses of original design
  • Minimal turnaround time - no need for new permitting 
  • Carbon-friendly (ESG friendly) by reusing existing assets vs new manufacture 
  • Flexible, tailored solution from a partner to guide you through rotor replacement

Lifetime assessment (LTA)  

  • TIL 1576 allows for a potential one-time extension beyond the FFH/FFS limits based on the results of an LTA. EthosEnergy’s qualified craftsmen and engineers can perform the LTA and determine the possible life extension based on results  

Condition Based Life Extension (CBLE)  

  • Our qualified engineers perform a detailed evaluation of the rotor condition, associated risks, and recommendations for component replacement with a possible 50k-200k FFH and 2,500 FFS extension 

New Rotor 

  • Our manufacturing facility in Torino, Italy can manufacture EthosEnergy's upgraded rotor design that is interchangable with your current rotor.

Phoenix Rotor  

  • A hybrid rotor with new and Certified Previously Operated (CPO) components certified for the equivalent of the life of a new rotor. Proven OEM design and materials are used for EthosEnergy Phoenix Rotor compressor and turbine rotor discs.  

Certified Previously Operated (CPO)  

  • A rotor with a known pedigree that has been thoroughly inspected and tested at one of our centers of excellence. Certified for possible life up to 150k FFH and 2,500 FFS.

Ecoview Life Cycle Assessment

Introducing the industry’s first LCA solution for gas turbine rotors from EthosEnergy, that allows you to view your turbine through a sustainable lens. 

Our Life Cycle Assessment gives you the visibility to make informed equipment choices, align with energy transition requirements and comply with carbon emissions targets and ESG goals. Be confident in your sustainability reporting and propel your ESG credibility. 

Developed in partnership with leading scientists, our new CO2 monitoring tool provides comprehensive environmental insights across each phase of the lifecycle, quantifying with clarity the carbon and financial reductions you can make from Rotor Lifetime Extension (LTE) compared with purchasing new.  

Scientific studies have shown carbon emission savings and abiotic depletion of up to 40% from Rotor Life Extension (LTE). 
  • 35-45% Potential carbon emission savings and abiotic depletion compared with purchasing new 

  • 40% Potential savings on acidification compared with purchasing new 

Soon, you will be able to verify and certify your LCA results for the next five years with the industry's first gas turbine rotor EDP certification. Proving your ESG compliance, and giving you a competitive advantage with Ecolabel type III (ISO 14025).
