4 Performance at every turn The output of any hydropower plant relies on the optimum performance of every single component. From the smallest seal to the largest runner, you have to be sure everything works to its maximum capability and is reliable. Custom made solutions AGING INSTALLATIONS Do you want to get more from your equipment? We know how to maximise uptime by meeting and exceeding lifecycle requirements. Our specialists can perform technical inspections on your key components, such as seals and bearings, for alignment issues, wear etc. and use the assessment to validate extending the operating life of your technology. UNIQUE CONFIGURATIONS Environmentally sustainable Why compromise with off-the-shelf solutions? No two plants are the same, and each has a unique set of requirements. Whatever the profile of your plant, Wärtsilä can provide solutions to suit the unique needs of your installation, working with you to find the best services and equipment possible. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION Show environmental leadership!

15 Wärtsilä supplied excellent field support for the installation, which came off without a hitch. The seal has been in service for 4 months and is performing perfectly. This seal has proved to be environmentally compliant as promised. John Gamble Superintendent Brookfield U.S.A. Wärtsilä offered a complete package that we could not find anywhere else: seals, bearings and services from the same provider. The Water Quality System will provide lubricant water for the three turbines conveniently from the canal. All-in-all, this is a great combination that will improve reliability and reduce downtime as well as future maintenance costs. Brad Morton Hydro Superintendent Loup River Public Power District U.S.A. The replacement of the turbine guide bearing and shaft seal in La Tzintre turbines has been made as a bolt-on modification. Working with WÄRTSILÄ has been a magnificent experience due to their understanding of our needs, open mind during design discussion, professionalism during the execution of the works, and finally due to the quality of their products. Highly recommendable in our opinion. Rafael Valladares Group E Switzerland Working with Wärtsilä on the Harland & Wolff seal upgrade project was a pleasure, from the enquiry through to the delivery and installation of the goods it was an excellent example of good communication, planning and execution of what was required in all respects. All personnel involved within Wärtsilä were proactive, professional and friendly throughout the project leaving our customer completely satisfied.
