THE CHALLENGE
Gas turbine power plant failure and long lead time for replacement parts
Our customer, an International Oil Company (IOC) operates a refinery in an off-grid remote area of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. When a part of its 10 MW Gas Turbine power plant failed, a lead time of three months for the replacement parts meant it needed emergency assistance – fast. Facing a loss of production, the refinery knew who to call.
THE IMPACT
Power restored, full steam ahead!
Instead of a wait of three months, the refinery was able to return to full production within a matter of days. This bridged the gap while the IOC waited for the parts it needed to make its power plant fully functional again.
