Will it Start? Monitoring the Startup System of a GasTurbine
Conventional
[ Deep ] vision
In power generation, an unplanned failure can jeopardize months of operation and millions in repair costs.
When a turbine, gearbox, or generator fails, a quick fix isn’t enough; prevention is key. At Atten2, we work with maintenance managers and critical asset engineers to continuously monitor lubricant health in turbines and generating systems, where even small amounts of water or contamination can destroy the lubricating film and trigger severe damage.
With thousands of sensors installed on industrial assets worldwide, we help make decisions based on actual conditions, not assumptions, reducing risks, unnecessary oil changes, and unplanned shutdowns.
The challenges we see every day in the petrochemical industry
- Turbine, gearbox, or generator failures with a critical impact on availability.
- Minimal contamination with water or particles that destroys lubricating films in extremely small dynamic clearances.
- Extremely long shutdowns and multimillion-dollar repair costs, especially for turbines.
- Oil changes that are too early or too late, without objective information.
- High operational pressure during critical shifts, when fewer resources are available.
- Equipment designed to last for decades, but vulnerable to early misdiagnosis.
- Large volumes of oil that are difficult to control manually.
In power generation, a few ppm of contamination can end up compromising multimillion-dollar assets.
