Since the company's founding in 1967, it has established a worldwide reputation of excellence among users and manufacturers of turbomachinery.
Fern Engineering prides itself on providing clients independent, top quality, professional services that are unmatched in the industry.
Clients benefit from a wide range of capabilities and services which include:
 Turbomachinery Engineering and Consulting
Fuel Nozzle Refurbishment and Testing
Performance Monitoring Software
Specialized Gas Turbine Hardware
Gas Turbine Inlet Fogging Systems
Fern Engineering's experienced team of engineers offers a wide range of consulting services.
From initial feasibility studies and performance acceptance tests for new power plants to diagnosing and correcting problems at existing plants, Fern Engineering can assist you with maximizing efficiencies in your gas turbine operations.
At the outset of every project Fern Engineering takes the time to carefully assess identified problems, as well as potential inefficiencies, and evaluate the best and most cost-effective solution.
For more than 35 years, turbomachinery manufacturers and owners have relied on Fern to provide engineering & consulting services including:
Gas Turbine Power Augmentation Feasibility Studies
Solutions to Correct Chronic Turbomachinery Problems
Turbomachinery Failure Analyses and Accident Investigations
Detailed Design of Gas Turbine Components
Training Seminars on Gas Turbines, Combined Cycles and Compressors
In 1999 Fern established a strategic alliance with American Moistening Company (AMCO) to supply fogging systems, which cool the inlet air entering a gas turbine.
For more than 100 years, AMCO has been supplying humidification systems and spray coolers for industrial use.
Fern Engineering's knowledge of gas turbines combined with AMCO's manufacturing expertise makes this an ideal partnership for supplying state-of-the-art fogging systems.
As a leading supplier of fogging systems, AMCO-FERN has installed its foggers on gas turbines ranging in size from a 3 MW Vericor ASE40 to a 250 MW GE 9FA.
In addition to retrofit applications, Siemens Westinghouse has selected AMCO-FERN to supply its foggers for new installations of their most advanced gas turbines.
Fern Engineering has designed several innovative components that improve performance and reliability of specific engines.
For example, Fern's exhaust transition section for the Rolls Royce Avon provides a replacement for an OEM part that has known deficiencies.
Using superior materials and a design which accommodates thermal expansion, Fern's transition section offers extended life without having to lower turbine output.
Fern has also developed a variety of power turbine upgrade packages and an extensive inventory of spare parts for Curtis-Wright MOD-POD gas turbines.
These uniquely designed components can boost the output of OEM units by 25 percent.
In addition, OEM parts that are no longer available or parts that need to be customized can be reverse engineered by Fern's experienced team of designers in order to extend the life of your turbine(s).
One of the principle causes of damage to hot gas path parts and other combustion-related problems is the imbalance of fuel distribution from dirty or defective gas turbine fuel nozzles.
Fern Engineering can help prevent these problems from occurring through its expert refurbishing process.
Our highly experienced team will disassemble, clean, inspect, rebuild, conduct flow testing, calibrate and match fuel nozzles to correct problems that occur from the wear and tear on fuel nozzles.
We can calibrate a variety of nozzle types including low-pressure air and mechanically atomized liquid fuel, gas fuel, dual fuel and water injection.
