Upgrades and modifications of WHRU

For gas turbines and diesel engines – offshore and industrial

Through continuous new deliveries over a number of years, we have acquired extensive knowledge that enables us to upgrade existing WHRU plants in an optimal and cost-effective manner.

Experience from new deliveries as a basis for upgrades

Our extensive experience in the design, delivery, and follow-up of new WHRU systems provides a solid technical foundation for upgrading existing facilities. Knowledge gained from operation, maintenance, and inspections is actively used to identify areas for improvement and reduce recurring operational problems.

Focus areas for upgrades

Upgrades and modifications are carried out with the aim of extending lifespan and improving operational reliability, with particular focus on:

  • Reduction of fatigue and vibration-related injuries
