When an engine is taken out of service for a prolonged period, it is necessary to take certain steps to ensure that the engine is properly protected against corrosion and the engine components are correctly maintained for safe and prompt restarting.
As such preservation is an essential part of decommissioning engines.
At KMS we adhere to OEM guidelines when decommissioning engines including:
- Preparation before stopping the engine prior to lay-up
- Preparation after stopping the engine
