Overview: To remain competitive in the rapidly changing global marketplace, Bethlehem Steel Corporation (BSC), the second largest producer of steel in the United States, was looking for opportunities to improve the performance of one of the steam turbine generators at their Burns Harbor Facility in Indiana. BSC accomplished three goals with the turbine redesign: increasing the efficiency and output under normal operation, increasing full-load capacity for operation when other turbines were offline, and allowing the use of excess low-pressure steam in the turbine. The upgraded turbine and other system modifications resulted in significant energy and cost savings.
