Mitsubishi Mechanical Drive Steam Turbine Application line up

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corporation (MCO) has been building steam turbines for almost Upstream LNG, Natural Gas Liquids (NGL), Refinery, Gas to Liquid (GTL)
one century. Mitsubishi mechanical drive steam turbines are being accepted favorably as smooth, economical,
Downstream Ethylene & Derivatives, Ammonia / Urea, Methanol, Air Separation, Propane dehydrogenation (PDH), Nitric Acid
reliable turbines by all our customers.
Today, MCO is one of the leading manufacturers of steam turbines of all types. The first mechanical drive
and other plants including Floating LNG, Industrial Power Generation and so on.
turbine from our Works was delivered in 1958. Since then, we are a leading global provider of steam turbines
for the petrochemical industry and oil & gas field. Mitsubishi steam turbines have established a world-class
reputation for reliability and high performance achieved through cutting edge technologies.

Type and Characteristic

Extraction control valve Diaphragm
Back Pressure Turbine
Governing valve
Back pressure type turbines efficiently utilize a large quantity of process steam, with the exhaust steam available
for process heat or for the other steam–driven operations, such as low–pressure turbines. Casing

Condensing Turbine Blade

Condensing type turbines, which are highly economical for variable speed operations, can be directly connected to
Trip & Throttle valve
high speed compressors, thus providing a drive of a minimum initial cost. Rotor

Automatic Extraction / Induction Turbine

Where controlled power and process steam pressure are required, the use of the automatic extraction / induction turbine is
highly desirable. Within capacity limits, the Mitsubishi automatic extraction turbine can supply varying amounts of extraction
steam at constant pressure, while maintaining the required load output by governing the amount of steam admitted to the
low-pressure part of the turbine. MCO is well experienced in induction turbine and extraction / induction turbine.
