Winn Butterfly Valves for Condensate Polishing at Chinese Gas Turbine Plant


With the availability of water determining the potential for power station development in China, Winn Hi-Seal high performance butterfly valves from Pentair are helping to satisfy the country's growing demand for electricity. Christ-Kennicott Water Technology Ltd lent its expertise to the project, supplying the equipment that removes potentially harmful contaminants from the water used in the thermal gas turbine plants. 

Christ-Kennicott provided condensate polishing systems to two thermal gas turbine power stations - the 600MW Tuoketuo site and the 900MW Waigaogiao plant – and in both cases Winn butterfly valves were chosen as standard. At Tuoketuo, Christ-Kennicott supplied Winn Hi-Seal high performance butterfly valves equipped with either Keystone pneumatic actuators, in the case of the smaller valves, or Biffi pneumatic actuators for larger valves. At Waigaogiao a range of actuated Winn Hi-Seal high performance butterfly valves was again used. 

Durability and ease of servicing were important factors in the specification and Winn Hi-Seal high performance butterfly valves provide efficient, bi-directional sealing across a wide spectrum of service conditions.
