Your advantage in today’s challenging environment
A cost-effective way to reduce steam leakage, upgrade performance and save on fuel costs without major capital expenditure or modifications to the unit.
Improve your reliability and availability
Upgraded seals help you prevent costly repairs, both major and minor, reducing your risk and keeping units online.
Increase your performance
Minimize your losses in the steam path to achieve increased generation.
Reduce your fuel consumption and carbon footprint
By correcting excessive seal clearances, you can save money on fuel and reduce your СО2 emissions.
Enjoy savings to your bottom line
Steam path audits demonstrate that around 70% of losses in the steam path is due to operating with excessive seal clearances.
For example, on a 300 MW impulse steam turbine, installation of SMART Seals™ can present $490K in fuel savings and $1.2M annual increase in generation, while reducing СО2 by 25,000 tons per year*.
