Project Summary

Facilitated varnish mitigation on a Taurus 60 gas turbine. The Membrane Patch Colorimetry (MPC) analysis revealed a level of 27. The lubricant that was used in the system had an estimated nine years of service.

The Varnish Absorption System (VAS) was installed to perform side stream filtration on the Solar Taurus 60 gas turbine, and executed continuously throughout the month. Within 2 weeks, MPC was at 14. After three weeks, it was even lower at 5.
