Overview
Baker Hughes turbines draw their high efficiency and reliability from decades of leading technology development and proven in-field experience of our multiple steam turbine and gas turbine lines.
Our modular design approach is extremely flexible in meeting the unique requirements of each project while delivering best-in-class reliability and efficiency. Built for the demanding environments of power plants, our units offer fast startup capabilities and stress-based rotor control, optimizing performance and maximizing electricity generation in plants with frequent start-stop cycles.
Our portfolio includes:
- Condensing and back pressure power plant units
- Multiple steam flow extractions or injections
- Single-flow or double-flow turbine configurations
- Axial or radial exhausts
- Baseplate and concrete-mounted solutions
Our SC/SAC/SNC/SANC series steam turbines feature both impulse and reaction blade designs, ensuring top plant efficiency across a wide range of high-pressure steam power generation operating conditions and industrial applications. Used in condensing or backpressure configurations, their modular design allows for a high degree of customization to meet specific steam cycle and steam power needs.

Product safety
A relentless focus on safety underpins the lifecycle of all our steam turbines. We're committed to acting with integrity and managing risk across our enterprise - in design, manufacturing, testing, servicing, and monitoring our global steam turbine fleet.
The product safety culture in Turbomachinery & Process solution is nurtured through our pillars:
- Accountability and commitment
- From reactive to proactive
- Governance
- Functional and process safety
- Customer value
Product safety is everyone's responsibility at Baker Hughes. It's entrenched in our core values to lead, collaborate, grow, and care; and it’s a vital part of every-day life at all our facilities worldwide.
Well-known, flexible technology
Baker Hughes steam turbine technologies are widely respected and used for their modular design flexibility that enables customization to suit diverse API, industrial, and power plant applications. With over 1,100 units and 14 GW installed, our designs are well-proven around the world.
High performance and reliability
To minimize onsite assembly and rotor balancing, all our steam turbines are preassembled and fully tested at our factory before delivery to the customer. Mechanical drive running tests and string tests are available on request.
To reduce maintenance needs, we offer an advanced seals option. We also provide a wide range of value-added services, including conversions, modifications, upgrades, and repairs to improve maintainability and operating costs over the entire lifecycle.
