specialized solutions for Industrial Gas Turbines
Maximizing performance under pressure
The productivity of your business depends on your gas turbine’s ability to perform. Each critical component needs to be able to withstand corrosion, wear and high temperatures, all under varying site operating conditions.
We’ve developed our surface enhancement solutions to help you extend the life of your most critical turbine parts, improve performance, reduce repair and replacement costs, and minimize downtime.
Customized solutions for every part
Whatever the problem, we’ve found a coating solution for it. Below are some common problems that affect industrial gas turbine engine components. At Praxair, each problem is unique, requiring a unique answer. Rather than forcing a standard solution, we’re interested in making more possible. That’s why we’ll work directly with you to understand your unique challenge and find the solution that gets more performance from your parts and equipment.
