Enhance Your Gas Turbine Efficiency and Lifespan with Our Patented Full Solution Rejuvenation® Process
Tired of skyrocketing gas turbine component replacement costs and the endless cycle of waste and downtime? Liburdi Turbine Services’ Full Solution Rejuvenation® process is the smarter, greener answer. With over 45 years of proven results, a 90% average repair yield rate, and more than 500,000 blades rejuvenated, Liburdi extends turbine life across multiple service intervals while matching New Part OEM warranties. Save hundreds of thousands, boost efficiency, and promote sustainability—all with a partner you can trust for a cost-effective, long-lasting solution.
Liburdi brings your gas turbine components back to life with tailored FSR® treatments designed to meet your exact specifications and operational demands. Our specialized process rejuvenates various blade alloys, combining an exclusive high-temperature stripping method with premium coating replacements. By accounting for unique manufacturing methods, we ensure optimized performance, extended turbine life, and reliable results you can count on.
At Liburdi, we go beyond repair by holding our FSR® process to the rigorous ASTM E139 Stress-Rupture Test—delivering unmatched benefits for you. Our treatments don’t just meet OEM new-part specifications; they consistently exceed them. FSR® reverses the wear caused by service hours and fully restores test properties, ensuring your turbine components perform like new—or better. With Liburdi, you're not just restoring parts; you're achieving superior, reliable performance that lasts.
Since 1979, Liburdi’s groundbreaking process has set the industry standard for rejuvenating high-performance blade alloys like MM247, GTD111, and Rene 80. With our proven FSR® technology, blades can be rejuvenated multiple times, dramatically extending their service life. Some blade sets have surpassed 100,000+ hours of operation, delivering unmatched reliability and performance that go far beyond expectations. With Liburdi, you’re not just maintaining components—you’re maximizing their potential.
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a process that uses both high temperatures and high pressures to compress and thereby close porosity in metal castings. When turbine parts, especially highly stressed blades come out of service, they can have small porosities in them called creep-cavities. These defects strongly weaken the blade and used to be a major cause of parts retirements. With the effective use of HIP treatments, there cavities are closed and eliminated thereby improving the casting integrity going forward. Not surprisingly, different alloys have different HIP needs, so a one-size-fits-all approach is not desirable. Liburdi's HIP cycles are carefully engineered, tested and verified to be safe and effective. Each production batch is tested by both metallography and mechanical testing to ensure full HIP process success.
When FSR is used, the part returns to service in an 'as-new' strength condition. Sure, you could consume design margin by using FSR at every other shop visit, but then parts would be returning to service at a reduced strength level. This could put your operation at risk should some upset like firing error or impact damage occur. Further it cuts your operational flexibility should you need to run a little 'overtime' for commercial reasons. Reduce your risk and keep your options open by using the best practice of applying FSR at each shop repair cycle. The small extra effort will help you sleep at night.
The metallurgical degradation, aging and creep, that occur spontaneously with the heat of service are fully reversible by FSR's special heat re-treatments. This process can be repeated again and again as needed. To date the record is 6 times giving a life approaching 200,000 hours. Can you imagine never having to purchase another set of turbine blades for the life of your plant? What good use could you put that money to while improving other aspect of the operation?
