engineered solutions
and expertise
performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost
Working from existing specifications or only a statement of the desired requirements,
Concepts NREC can design, manufacture, and test a wide variety of turbomachinery
components and products, as well as solve engineering problems to improve
performance and reduce manufacturing costs. Based on project specifications,
we integrate the appropriate technologies to generate preliminary concepts, analyze
alternative approaches, optimize the design, and produce the best possible product.
Concepts nrec is the world’s leading independent, full-service
turbomachinery design, development, and manufacturing
organization. Our services can supplement and support a
client’s in-house capabilities with world-class technology,
advanced engineering, and proven expertise in all phases
of project development.

Using state-of-the-art engineering techniques and analysis tools, Concepts NREC
can successfully engineer the design to meet your project specifications. Our engineers
can rapidly analyze alternative design approaches and provide vital insight into the
interdependencies between hardware design and its operating requirements. We can
then suggest improvements, develop new designs, supply retrofit components, or
provide complete equipment solutions.
Concepts NREC can provide turnkey solutions that include design, testing, manufacturing,
assembly, and installation of turbomachinery components or complete systems. Prototypes
can readily be fabricated in Concepts NREC’s machine shops based on detailed drawings
prepared by our expert engineers. Extensive performance testing facilities are available for
design validation and development of turbomachinery components and products.
