Gilbert - Steam Turbine Lubricating Oil Pumps
Our involvement in steam turbine lubrication systems began in the early 1960s, when Gilkes was asked to develop a solution to support the suction of main oil pumps (MOPs) on turbines rated above 120MW. This led to the development of the Booster Pump Turbine (BPT), designed to improve oil flow during start-up and low rotational speeds. From 1963, we expanded our scope to include the MOPs themselves, as well as AC and DC motor-driven flushing pumps.
Today, we provide dedicated aftermarket pump support for these systems, supplying genuine spare parts, like-for-like OEM pump replacements, and full pump refurbishment services to customers around the world.
Our focus is on maintaining the original performance of existing installations, using factory-original parts built to the same specifications as when they first left our facility.
Whether replacing a worn impeller, sourcing a complete spare pump, or returning a unit for full overhaul, Gilkes provides the expertise, equipment and support needed to keep your systems running efficiently.
Gilkes has been supplying lubricating oil pumps for steam and gas turbines since the 1960s playing a vital role in ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of large rotating machinery.
