Gas Turbine Efficiency(GTE) has expanded its products and services lineup to meet the needs of the GE Frame 7EA users community, offering operational benefits and return for operators who have invested in this gas turbine.
GTE serves power plant operators by delivering solutions for maintenance and optimization in gas-only and dual-fuel gas turbine systems. The expanded products and services include new hardware and consumables for 7EA users worldwide.
Steven Zwolinski, CEO of GTE, said: “We are committed to support our Energy Services clients in maintaining operational excellence for their investment. Following on this commitment, GTE offers a number of options to help 7EA operators achieve their performance goals using products and services designed to keep their gas turbines in optimal operating condition.”
GTE said that there are currently over 850 GE Frame 7EA gas turbines in use worldwide and their operators’ need to meet operational and maintenance goals can be served by GTE’s products and services including DLN-1 combustion system repairs and spares, turbine optimization, compressor water wash systems and turbine outage services.
In the last two years, GTE has developed DLN-1 repair processes and applied the processes to return combustion systems to original performance. GTE has now developed replacement DLN-1 combustion components for the 7EA. The equipment is currently available for application and will be reviewed with the 7EA user community at the User Group meeting in Miami, FL. DLN-1 combustion components are also now available for the 6B and 9E users as well.
In addition to the repair and new equipment manufacturing for DLN-1 combustion systems, GTE has introduced its Ecomax system to provide fully automated continuous tuning to enhance emission compliance, extend service life and optimize plant performance.
Thomas Wagner, chief technology officer of GTE, said: “The benefit of using GTE’s family of services and products for 7EA increases when users combine them in their maintenance efforts. Our experience in the Energy market allows our business groups to optimize their performance output or upgrade the installation for DLN, Ecomax or Water Wash Product lines.”
