According to the agreement, Valmet together with MJBI will develop triple modular redundant (TMR) gas turbine control systems as part of MJBI's gas turbine retrofit capabilities for customers around the world.
"At Valmet, we have developed our capabilities and services in turbine automation systems for several years. The partnership with MJBI will accelerate our market growth in the automation business for gas turbine retrofit projects, as MJBI will include our automation system as part of its complete gas turbine retrofit projects," said Kari S. Heikkilä, Director, Partner Business, Automation, Valmet.
MJBI will use Valmet's gas turbine automation controllers with its own Sentinel C control systems to replace obsolete GE triple modular redundant control systems.
"Most automation hardware suppliers' systems are not capable of achieving triple redundancy. Valmet's and MJBI's control application specialists have now together developed a unique service solution for industrial gas turbine owners and operators," said Douglas Calderhead, Member of MEC of MJBI.
