Fortum Tjumen

Tyumen, Russia

Fortum acquired the Vexve Hydrox Manual control unit and Hydrox actuators for the UTSK Tjumen power plant transfer line.

The district heating transfer line at Tyumen plant was equipped with Vexve’s DN 800 butterfly valves, which up until then had electric actuators. Fortum wanted to increase the operational reliability of its distribution network and decided to try the hydraulic control solution, a first in Russia.

The hydraulic control solution was installed, with the close cooperation of Vexve and Fortum experts, to replace the electric actuators in August 2015.
