Steam Turbines Services

From Inspection to Complete Turbine Overhaul, Repair or Manufacture. All in One Workshop.

Steam turbines are critical assets in marine, energy, oil & gas, and industrial applications. Failures such as blade erosion, rotor cracking, gearbox wear, labyrinth seal rubbing, and diaphragm damage can cause severe downtime, efficiency loss, and costly replacements.

With over 40 years of industry experience, KIMI offers industry-leading steam turbine reconditioning, overhaul, and reverse engineering services—restoring turbine performance, efficiency, and reliability. Our advanced in-house capabilities, including laser cladding, precision CNC machining, and component reverse engineering, allow us to recondition, remanufacture turbine parts quickly, accurately and cost-effectively for all major turbine makers.

FAQs

When OEM spare parts are obsolete or unavailable, turbine components can be reverse engineered. Typical parts include:

• Moving and stationary blades
• Diaphragms and nozzles
• Rotor shafts and blade carriers
• Bearings and bearing pads
• Pinion gears and reduction gears
• Steam glands and oil seals

Reverse engineering allows accurate reproduction of components using CMM measurement, material analysis, and precision CNC machining.

KIMI can repair and recondition a wide range of marine and industrial steam turbines, including both modern and older models where spare parts may no longer be available.

Examples of turbine models frequently serviced include:

• Mitsubishi ENV-112 cargo oil pump turbines
• Mitsubishi ENV-120G steam turbines
• Shinko RX-1 auxiliary turbines
• Shinko RX-2-2 cargo pump turbines

Using advanced reverse engineering, blade manufacturing, rotor restoration, and precision machining, KIMI SA can restore turbine components even when OEM spare parts are discontinued or unavailable.

Yes. Many turbine components can be restored instead of replaced, significantly reducing repair costs and downtime. Typical repair solutions include laser cladding restoration of rotor journals, blade replacement or re-blading, diaphragm repair, and reverse engineering of damaged parts. Specialized workshops such as KIMI can restore components to OEM geometry and tolerance levels.

Yes. KIMI provides experienced riding teams for on-site steam turbine inspection, troubleshooting, and repair support, helping operators minimize downtime and ensure work is carried out according to OEM specifications.

KIMI can significantly reduce turnaround time. Under certain conditions, operations such as turbine rotor re-blading can be completed in as little as 8-10 days.

The duration depends on the turbine size, condition, and scope of repairs. Thanks to its extensive in-house capabilities, KIMI can significantly reduce turnaround time compared to the lead times typically required by manufacturers for new parts.

The cost depends on the condition of the steam turbine and the components that require repair or manufacturing. In many cases, reconditioning is far more economical than purchasing new parts from the original manufacturer. In many cases, turbine reconditioning can cost 3 to 4 times less than purchasing new components from the original manufacturer. With its advanced workshop capacity and engineering expertise, KIMI offers highly competitive repair solutions in steam turbines, helping operators reduce both repair costs and equipment downtime.

Typical repair and overhaul services include:

• Complete turbine dismantling, inspection, and condition assessment
• Rotor shaft journal restoration using laser cladding and precision grinding
• Manufacturing or replacement of turbine blades (moving and stationary)
• Repair or manufacturing of diaphragms, nozzles, and blade carriers
• Reverse engineering of obsolete turbine components when OEM parts are unavailable
• Manufacturing of journal bearings, thrust bearings, and seals
• Dynamic balancing of the rotor assembly according to OEM tolerances

Through precision machining and reverse engineering, older Mitsubishi ENV or SHINKO turbines can be restored to OEM geometry and operational efficiency, significantly extending their service life.
