Turbine Replacement

Gas and steam turbine replacement with electric drive train systems

Turbine-Replacement-Dynamowerk-Berlin

Reducing CO2 Emissions with Electric Drive Systems

Turbine replacement is one of the major strategies to reduce carbon emissions in energy-intensive industries, such as the chemical or oil and gas sectors. Steam or gas turbines are commonly used in various processes to deliver mechanical power. Imagine redesigning these processes: by using electric motors. That’s where we come in. By replacing these turbines with motors, we increase efficiency while reducing CO2 emissions.

We've got 25+ years of experience and 70+ successful turbine replacement projects in close collaboration with OEMs and end users under our belt. Trust us to handle even the most complex turbine replacement, ensuring a sustainable future for your business.
