What can upgrading do for you?
It’s common for 9E gas turbine sites to engage in operations that create a hostile environment for compressor blades. Our series of modifications helps reduce your turbine compressor’s degradation from water, dust, contaminants, and vibrations.
GE’s full suite of dimensional and material changes—and monitoring and diagnostics—acts as a single upgrade for your compressor to guard against risky failures and costly downtime.
How we get you there
Our suite doesn’t just grant new blade aerodynamics and less painful access to your impeller. The full range of GE’s compressor enhancements can help your next forced outage become a planned one, with:
Machine-undercut blades:
- Better tolerance to corrosion and erosion
- Eliminated risk of fretting-induced cracking
- Ergonomic across the span of the airfoil
