MACH7 - References
The retrofit of the power stations in Ahrensfelde and Thyrow are the most extensive modernization of a General Electric power plant in Europe.
With this project, we brought a majority of our products to use and the owner took advantage of our many years of experience. All past tests and operating scenarios were successfully completed and speak for the quality of our development.
We heartily welcome you to a presentation at the Vattenfall Power Station near Berlin.
