Destinus Energy develops, manufactures, and services advanced gas turbine systems, with headquarters in Hengelo, The Netherlands. The OP16 gas turbine delivers cost-effective and robust solutions for global energy demands, including the oil and gas sector, waste-to-energy applications, and industrial and commercial markets. By partnering with Istec, Destinus Energy has gained access to specialist knowledge and technical support in the fields of vibration and speed monitoring.
Challenge
Although Destinus Energy had in-house knowledge of vibration and speed monitoring, they were looking for a specialist partner, for both technical support and vibration analysis, to strengthen their service offering without becoming dependent on specific systems or vendors. As they had already invested in their own monitoring equipment, they were specifically looking for an independent party that could provide expertise without imposing proprietary systems.
Solution
Istec offered a flexible and vendor-independent approach tailored to Destinus Energy’s needs. Istec used its expertise with the existing setup, allowing Destinus Energy to continue using its own hardware while relying on Istec for advanced vibration analysis, ongoing support, and consultancy on both vibration and speed-related challenges. The collaboration focused on adding value through knowledge and adaptability, not through system replacement.
Deliverables
- Technical support on vibration analysis
- Vibration analysis on gas turbines
- Technical support related to hardware selection and integration
- Advice on sensor configuration and monitoring strategies
- Long-term support across multiple projects
- Avoiding vendor lock-in; Destinus Energy was able to use its own selected vibration monitoring hardware and tap into Istec’s vibration & speed monitoring expertise on demand.
Impact
With Istec’s support, Destinus Energy is able to confidently support its customers and deliver high-quality service in the vibration and speed monitoring. The technical support provided by Istec enables Destinus Energy to make informed decisions regarding hardware selection and monitoring strategies, ensuring that their investments in existing systems are maximized. This collaboration strengthens Destinus Energy’s position as a reliable gas turbine manufacturer.
