Experience matters

Our field service and engineering teams are experienced and equipped to effectively collaborate with operators on a variety of maintenance scopes. Get to know some of them below.

Christian Arcari, Senior Engineer, Controls and Operability

From commissioning support and controls to upgrades, when it comes to the 501F turbine, there is nothing Christian hasn’t worked on.

Christian has dedicated seven years to heavy-duty gas turbines, specifically the Mitsubishi 501F, Siemens-Westinghouse 501F, Siemens V84/V94, GE 7FA and 7EA platforms. In the past, Christian has worked for Siemens Energy in the Operations and Maintenance group, focusing on technical support for the total plant (which included the gas turbine, steam turbine, and balance of plant). Additionally, he worked for PSM (Power Systems Mfg) where he served as the technical lead for the Monitoring and Diagnostics (M&D) center.

From commissioning support and controls to upgrades, when it comes to the Mitsubishi, Siemens, and now GE turbines, there is nothing Christian hasn’t worked on. He particularly enjoys troubleshooting complex operational issues, installing control system upgrades and commissioning new systems. During GE’s latest outage execution in Tuxpan, Mexico, he played a significant role in the commissioning of the first DLN-Pro combustor in a Mitsubishi 501F.

Christian is one cornerstone of the Cross-Fleet team and as such, he’s also responsible for ensuring knowledge transfer within the Cross-Fleet and Field Services team.
