Abstract
|
Gas
turbine compressor blades tend to degrade in their operation over time. Many
factors contribute to the degradation mechanisms and its acceleration. Such
factors include site location, site conditions, including the aspect of air
quality, water washing practice, etc. Researchers with Materials Engineering
Group of TNB Research Sdn Bhd examined 2 units of gas turbine compressor
located near the sea around Peninsula of Malaysia, to determine the
degradation mechanisms of the blades.
All these gas turbine units are located in different industrial environment. The first gas turbine unit, so called GTA is located in coastal, petrochemicals production and crude oil refining environment. The second gas turbine unit, so called GTB, located in coastal and industrial environment. The surrounding industries of GTB including oil refinery, chemical, ship fabrication and etc. Authors report the degradation type of those gas turbine units’ compressor blades with their contributing factors. |
