Count on Western-Power for your turbine valve repair, replacement parts and engineered upgrades.

Over time, valves become bent, broken and worn. Loose fits lead to leaking steam, and tight clearances cause valves to stick – all problems that lead to costly forced outage. Regular valve inspections will save you time and money.

Because we've worked on nearly all OEM equipment, we know what works, what doesn't, and how old valves can be improved. It may be a material upgrade, a special coating, or an engineering crossover from another OEM. New coatings have been shown to cut valve-stem erosion by 3,000%. In another case, a valve upgrade added almost 7% capacity improvement to a 15 MW steam turbine.    

Whether the repair requires minor repairs, blending, complete steampath refurbishment, seal face or complete interior case restoration, mechanical inserts, or re-boring, Western-Power offers proven engineering solutions and these repair processes can be done on-site as well as in our repair facilities.
