OPTIMIZE RELIABILITY WITH FLUID ANALYSIS

Aerial view power plant, Combined cycle power plant electricity generating station industry.

In the power generation industry, it’s important to make sure equipment is available when it’s needed. Monitoring conditions through routine fluid analysis allows you to avoid unplanned downtime and perform necessary maintenance based on what is actually happening within the unit rather than on the hours in operation or calendar days.

Thanks for meeting us at the 2023 Power Gen International show! Below are POLARIS Laboratories’ recommended test packages and pricing for backup power systems and power generation systems.
