Predictive Maintenance of a Steam Turbine

The accumulation of salt deposits on turbine blades can significantly impair turbine efficiency, resulting in a process bottleneck that increases operational costs. Hear how Sasol and Opti-Num Solutions engineers collaborated to determine the optimal wash time to prevent bottlenecking, and how they implemented an end-to-end predictive maintenance workflow using MATLAB^®. Learn how they estimated the remaining useful life of a turbine and deployed the application so that decision makers can access up-to-date data to define optimal wash schedules.
