TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING & FAILURE ANALYSIS FOR TURBINES & ROTATING EQUIPMENT
We don’t guess. We diagnose — precisely, scientifically, and fast — so you can fix the real problem the first time.
Unexpected vibration spikes, sudden efficiency drops, recurring seal leaks, unexplained trips, or catastrophic failures — these are not just inconveniences; they are costly threats to production, safety, and profitability. Turbo Engineering Services Global delivers advanced, data-driven troubleshooting and root-cause failure analysis for the full range of critical rotating machinery:
Gas Turbines
Steam Turbines
Wind Turbines
Centrifugal, Axial, Screw & Reciprocating Compressors
Process, API & Utility Pumps
Motors, Engines & Generators
Industrial Fans, Blowers & Gearboxes
Agitators, Mixers, Extruders & all associated auxiliaries
Our systematic, multi discipline diagnostic approach — combining field engineering, precision instrumentation, advanced analytics, and metallurgical/forensic expertise — uncovers the true root cause quickly, enabling targeted, effective corrective actions that restore reliability and prevent recurrence. Serving power plants, refineries, LNG facilities, petrochemical complexes, mining operations, and heavy industry sites across world.
Core Troubleshooting & Failure Analysis Capabilities
Structured Root-Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA)
We apply world-class methodologies (5-Why, Fishbone, Apollo, TapRooT®, FMEA) combined with:
- Forensic component examination & fractography
- Material & metallurgical lab analysis (microstructure, hardness,
chemistry) - Event sequence reconstruction & timeline correlation Result: Clear, evidence-based root cause — not symptoms — with probability-ranked contributing factors.
Advanced Vibration Diagnostics & Modal Analysis
State-of-the-art multi- channel vibration & phase analysis:
- Imbalance, misalignment, looseness, resonance & critical speed identification
- Bearing fault detection (inner/outer race, cage, rolling element)
- Blade pass, gear mesh, oil whirl/whip, rub & structural defect signatures
- Operational deflection shape (ODS) & modal testing for complex systems We turn complex vibration data into clear, prioritized action plans.
Thermal Imaging, Performance & Thermodynamics Evaluation
Non- intrusive & real-time thermal & process data analysis:
- Infrared thermography for hot spots, insulation failures & mechanical binding
- Thermodynamic efficiency mapping & deviation detection
- Steam/gas path performance degradation assessment
- Heat exchanger fouling, fouling factor & exchanger effectiveness calculation Early detection of efficiency killers and hidden mechanical issues.
Precision Field Measurements & Temporary Instrumentation
Rapid deployment of high-accuracy sensors & data loggers:
- Multi-axis accelerometers, proximity probes, laser vibrometers
- Strain gauges, torque telemetry, pressure & flow transients
- High-speed data acquisition for startup/coast-down & transient events
- Boroscopy, laser alignment verification & 3D laser scanning On-site, real-time insights — no waiting for permanent systems.
Targeted Component & Subsystem Deep-Dive Evaluation
Focused forensic inspection of suspect areas:
- Rotor dynamics & critical component runout/bow checks
- Blade & nozzle damage quantification
- Seal & bearing clearance mapping
- Coupling & gearbox wear pattern analysis
- Auxiliary system (lube oil, control oil, cooling) performance audits We isolate faults fast and quantify severity with hard numbers.
Actionable Corrective Recommendations & Implementation Support
Clear, prioritized, cost-benefit-ranked solutions:
- Immediate containment vs. permanent fix options
- Repair vs. replace vs. redesign engineering packages
- Modified operating procedures & condition monitoring upgrades
- Full outage planning support & repair supervision We stay with you from diagnosis through resolution — and beyond.
