Turbomachinery Seminar 2025

January 13th - 14th, 2025

Preceeding the Energy and Aviation Forum held on January 15-16, 2025, attendees joined for our in-depth Turbomachinery Seminar in Zurich, Switzerland on January 13-14, 2025.

This seminar was designed to offer a comprehensive overview of the working principles behind turbomachinery used across a variety of industrial sectors. Focusing on gas compressors, gas turbines, and steam turbines, the sessions covered essential concepts, including thermodynamics, aerodynamics, rotordynamics, and control mechanisms. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of both the limitations and opportunities presented by these machines and their vital applications.

Discussions spanned a wide range of industries, such as power generation and gas compression in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, with special attention to LNG applications. The seminar focussed on the role turbomachinery plays in addressing today’s energy challenges, particularly in the context of carbon reduction, the hydrogen economy, and CO2 capture, transport, and sequestration technologies.
