The document discusses considerations for buying used steam turbines for process industries. It notes that while used turbines may cut initial costs, they often lack design data and supplier support. This can lead to turbines failing to meet needs and requiring costly downtime for repairs when spare parts are difficult to obtain from non-OEM suppliers. The document recommends that though a new turbine costs more initially, it avoids greater expenses long-term for operation and maintenance without an OEM, and ensures the turbine meets requirements.

While setting up the process industry, buying capital equipment is a very
important task.
Most critical being the process equipment, boiler, turbine, civil work, etc. These
are the major investments for setting up any process industry.
To cut down the cost or when the budget is low often customer thinks of buying
used steam turbines / secondhand steam turbines.
The steam turbine is a very important piece of equipment for any process industry
because it generates power at a very low cost
when the steam is being utilized in the process and plays an important role when
the local power is not available.

Used steam turbines are available in the market and are usually sold by the
agencies engaged in servicing steam turbines.
Usually, design data of such user second-hand steam turbines are not
available to the service agency.
In such situations, it is very easy to make the mistake of picking up the wrong
turbine which ends up not delivering the desired outcomes.
During such time, the Customer usually invests a huge amount of monies
towards civil foundations, Steam, allied piping, and electrical accessories.
When such turbines fail, without any fallback to the OEM supplier and with
limitations on part of the turbine services agency, the entire investment is lost.

Another problem arises when the steam turbine needs spares and service.
As a Turbine OEM company not being involved in the purchase process or in
servicing getting spares available is a very difficult task.
The downtime may lead to huge losses. Also, the turbines are not being
attended to by the OEM, the plant personnel has to put their special attention
to running the turbine, hence it’s a tough and challenging task, that also adds
to the operating cost.
Investing in a new Steam Turbine provides short-term and long terms benefits.
It is wise to invest a little more money than spend huge sums of money as
expenses towards operating and maintaining used second-hand steam
turbines.
