 Welcome to Asia’s
Leading Turbine Forum

All around the world, shockwaves from the all-time high oil prices and electricity rates are being felt in
the budgets of public authorities, businesses and gas turbine operators. Much stress is placed on
selecting power generation equipment for long-term payoffs and minimum O&M expenditures.

As the industry advances from simple gas cycles, to merged steam and gas cycles, to IGCC
processes, we see Asia becoming more aware of energy efficiency – as fuel selection, heat recovery
systems and emission controls are coming to the forefront. We also notice the prominence of
aeroderivative turbines in the power generation sectors.

With numerous refineries, petrochemical, bioenergy and power plants emerging and expanding, steep
turbomachinery and repair costs mandate the best operations, maintenance and management
strategies. Turbine operators, OEMs and third party service providers will debate the best inspection
and maintenance techniques – Condition Based Monitoring, Performance Monitoring, Reliability
Centred Maintenance and Failure Analysis – to minimize ongoing costs and maximize equipment life.

“Gas turbines will be one of the

most important horizontal
technologies and will play an
essential role in meeting these
requirements.”
