Mixed Pressure Turbines: Mixed-pressure turbines are driven by two or more kinds of steam admitted independently to the turbine.

In applying duel heat sources, the optimum steam condition for each source can be selected. This type of turbine can also be used to combine an existing boiler and a new boiler, which makes it an effective means of improving plant thermal efficiency.

Condensing Turbines: Straight-condensing turbines are advantageous, especially when large quantities of a reliable power source are required or an inexpensive fuel, such as process by-product gas, is readily available. To improve plant thermal efficiency, steam is usually extracted from the intermediate stage of the turbine for feedwater heating.

Extraction-Condensing Turbines: Extraction-condensing turbines generate both process steam and stable electric power. Process steam, at one or more fixed pressures, can be automatically extracted as needed. This type of turbine has the flexibility to satisfy wide variations of process steam at a constant pressure and to meet electric power demands.

Back-Pressure Turbines: Back-pressure turbines can be used when a large quantity of process steam is required. The turbine exhaust steam is supplied to the process and the electric output is dependent on the demand for the process steam. These turbines can also be used as top turbines to supply exhaust steam to existing units; this improves the entire plant's thermal efficiency.

Geared Turbines: Geared turbines can be applied to smaller power generation units of up to around 40 MW. Compared with direct-coupled turbines, geared turbines have many advantages: Higher efficiency Easier operation and maintenance Smaller initial investment Smaller space requirement Shorter delivery time

Single-Cylinder Reheat Turbines: Traditionally, non-reheat turbines have been used for industrial applications. Recent demands, however, for higher efficiency and larger unit capacity call for reheat turbines in this field. Taking these demands into consideration, we have developed single-cylinder reheat turbines that are applicable to the 75 MW to 200 MW range. Single-cylinder reheat turbines offer Smaller space requirements Shorter construction and erection periods Easier operation and maintenance Shorter overhaul periods Smaller initial investments

Two-Cylinder Reheat Turbines: Two-cylinder reheat turbines can be used when a very high efficiency is required for steam turbines larger than 75 MW.
