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.

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.
