While geothermal power stations are regarded as more environmentally friendly compared to other conventional power plants, they do encounter a significant challenge. The steam they produce contains high levels of corrosive chemicals such as chloride, methane, sulfate, and hydrogen sulfide. These substances have a tendency to erode internal surfaces, particularly the rotor, ultimately leading to a decrease in the plant’s operational lifespan. This phenomenon is widespread among geothermal facilities.

In the geothermal power sector, frequent erosion of the blades and the formation of cavities are among the major problems faced by steam turbines. These issues arise due to impurities present in the steam. As a consequence, the plant’s efficiency is compromised, and blade failures become a leading cause of unexpected breakdowns. To address this challenge and to support our clients, we have developed a solution. By reengineering the internal components within the existing structure, we can extend the turbine’s longevity without requiring any major civil modifications.
