Steam turbine failure mechanisms and associated countermeasure upgrades.

Tour of MHI’s shop, followed by technical presentation on steam turbine failure mechanisms and associated countermeasure upgrades. ASME Event: Steam turbine failure mechanisms and associated countermeasure upgrades. Summary: Tour of MHI’s shop, followed by technical presentation on steam turbine failure mechanisms and associated countermeasure upgrades. Date: Tuesday, 10th November 2026. Speaker: Patrick Green, Upgrades Manager (CSB) Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Compressor Patrick Green is the Upgrades Manager for Mitsubishi Compressor International (MCOI) in Houston, TX, USA with 20 years of experience encompasses operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and failure analysis of machinery as well as specification, installation, and commissioning of new machinery in the refining, petrochemicals, and polymers industries. In his current role, he is responsible for upgrades of MCOI’s fleet of turbomachinery in the Western Hemisphere. Patrick is a 2008 graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a registered professional engineer, and a former member of multiple API Task Forces. Technical discussion: All machines are subject to wear-out failure mechanisms that manifest overtime. For mechanical drive steam turbines, these failure mechanisms can include creep, corrosion, cracking, erosion, fouling, fatigue, and certain combinations thereof. Steam turbine wear-out failure mechanisms will be reviewed, and upgrades that can be applied as countermeasures to those failure mechanisms will be discussed.
