Cut costs on gas turbine replacement parts with Liburdi Turbine Services' Full Solution Rejuvenation® process. With a 45-year-proven track record, this process has rejuvenated over 500,000 blades. Liburdi offers a 90% repair yield rate and matches New Part OEM warranties. Save hundreds of thousands of dollars and extend turbine life by multiple service intervals while promoting sustainability. Trust Liburdi for cost savings, extended service life, and a greener future with more efficient gas turbines.
Liburdi specializes in revitalizing gas turbine components, customizing treatments to your exact specifications, and accounting for manufacturing methods. Our FSR® treatments, designed for various gas turbine blade alloys, utilize an exclusive stripping process for high-temperature applications, alongside top-quality coating replacements to meet your operational needs.
We subject our products to the exacting standards of ASTM E139 Stress-Rupture Test, and here's what it means for you: FSR® doesn't just meet, but consistently exceeds the OEM new-part test specification. It not only reverses the deterioration in test results caused by service hours but ensures the complete restoration of test properties. With Liburdi, you're not just repairing a part; you're elevating it to a level of performance that stands unrivaled.
Liburdi's proven process, developed in 1979, is now the industry standard for high-performance blade alloys such as MM247, GTD111, and Rene 80. Blades can undergo multiple FSR® rejuvenations, extending their service life significantly. Some sets achieve over 100,000+ hours of operation and surpass expectations, offering unmatched reliability.
"On our 7EAs Liburdi has consistently refurbished the Hot Gas components to a high standard, which has permitted life time extensions to many of these components beyond that of OEM limits.
Liburdi has consistently demonstrated high quality workmanship, provided excellent customer service and innovations that are all to their customers benefit. Based upon our experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Liburdi Turbine Services Inc to any businesses that are considering their support."
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 return 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?
