Genesis Energy's Tekapo A Plant Completes Thordon Bearing Upgrade

New Zealand’s Genesis Energy has completed a first phase refurbishment of the 190MW hydro power plant at Lake Tekapo, in the South Island. Through its Auckland-based distributor Henley Group, Thordon supplied ThorPlas-Blue wicket gate bushes, Thorseal lip seals (which replaced nitrile rubber sealing rings in the lower and intermediate wicket gate bearings), and SXL operating ring wear pads. A new SXL turbine guide bearing, upgraded with better tolerances, was designed, supplied and installed. The shaft seal carbon segments were also replaced with SXL segments.

Waterjets using Thordon

I just returned from a recent visit to New Zealand and Hamilton Water Jet - the designer of the world's first water jet propulsion system. Just to give this perspective, when Hamjet first developed the pump-like system for propelling small water craft, they ran a shake-down cruise on the Ganges back in the 1950's. Sir Edmund Hillary was at the controls of one of the boats.
