Gas Turbine Repair
Technology
K.J. Pallos
Unit availability and effective utilization of maintenance funds are two of the most important
concerns of a gas turbine owner/operator. Major gas turbine components have limited
lives in comparison to the unit’s useful life.
Owners/operators are continually faced with decisions regarding component replacement
and/or repair. A component repair program that minimizes maintenance costs and maximizes
equipment availability can be instituted within the installed base to meet or improve financial
objectives. This paper summarizes some of the state-of-the-art gas turbine component repair
processes developed by GE to support the fleet of GE-designed heavy-duty gas turbines.
