An economical alternative to replacement
Requests for turbomachinery upgrades are typically prompted by the economics of gaining additional value from critical equipment as well as the potential for improving performance. Concepts NREC is especially well equipped to design (and manufacture) impeller upgrades and other turbomachinery components for equipment that typically undergoes periodic disassembly for maintenance or rebuild. CN also designs impeller upgrades for custom turbomachinery requiring process modifications or performance improvements.
Greater capacity and improved efficiency
The engineered design modification of turbomachinery equipment can provide greater capacity and improved efficiency, allow for a change in process requirements, and offer solutions to operating problems while avoiding or significantly deferring the need to replace expensive machinery. Considering the alternatives of accepting less than optimum performance or buying new equipment, an economical replacement of the rotating elements is often the most cost-effective and lowest-risk choice for improving machine performance.
Increase component life and reliability, lower power consumption
Many older machines that are mechanically sound can be upgraded or modified to meet present operating requirements and environmental standards. Modifications can often increase component life and reliability while lowering power consumption without diminishing capacity, as well as eliminate compressor surging, vibration, and other design problems.
Engineered impellers and upgrade kits for classic turbomachinery
Concepts NREC has the engineering experience and manufacturing capability to offer reverse engineered as well as improved impellers and other manufactured parts for certain compressors, expanders, turbochargers, and turbines, and in applications that include power plants, process plants, commercial HVAC, and many others. Engineered replacement impellers and upgrade kits are currently available for various classic turbomachines that include the following:

The performance of this turbocharger can be improved during a scheduled rebuild by replacing the impeller with an engineered upgrade.
This improved design will increase impeller efficiency, reduce power consumption, and eliminate vibration problems.
A new high-efficiency radial-inflow turbine impeller upgrades turbocharger performance and reduces NOx emissions.
