The deterioration of the steam path is the primary cause of lost revenue and increased cost in thermal power generation.
A Steam Path Audit can tell the site engineers exactly what their unit's problems are costing, in terms of performance, efficiency and reliability.
The Steam Path Audit can also tell them what to expect after an overhaul - and what you might gain by incorporating upgrades such as High-Efficiency Snout Rings, Brush Packing and Brush Tip Seals.

Also, the steam path audit consists of measurements of the seal height, the openings between blades and visual inspection of the blades themselves. These 'wear' measurements are used to determine the location of the most loss, the dollar amount to repair and the increase in performance. The end result is a determination of how much performance is recovered for what dollar amount.
