Modern power plants have one overriding
goal: To generate power more efficiently.

Electricity for the world
Based on the greatly increasing demand worldwide it is likely that global energy production will double over the next 20 years. The effectiveness of thermal power
plants therefore has to increase continuously in order to meet the economic and environmental demands.

Sulzer supplies high-performance pumps for the dependable operation of thermal power plants. The maintenance and repair of turbines and other rotating machinery by Sulzer ensures that stoppages are short and guarantee a long service life. Modern surface coatings permit higher operating temperatures and therefore high efficiency in power production.

Vertical pumps from Sulzer are able to supply thermal power plants with huge amounts of cooling water that is often pumped from rivers or the sea.
