Critical Renewable Energy Components For Applications Such As Hydroelectric, Wind Energy, and Solar Energy
Renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric, solar, wind, and tidal power are projected to be close to 50% of global electrical production by 2040. Pressure is growing on manufacturers to increase product performance while managing costs. MetalTek has the technical expertise and depth of experience to serve as a valuable supplier for renewable energy applications that push the limits of what is possible to meet the world’s growing renewable energy needs.
MetalTek has a rich history of providing wicket gates, wicket gate bushings, runner gate bushings, seal rings, wear rings, shaft sleeves, and many other components for hydroelectric applications. These are produced in sizes from less than one inch to a centrifugal wear ring that is more than 200” (5,080 mm) in diameter. The ability to provide a wide range of components for hydropower's high-wear and highly corrosive environment makes MetalTek well-suited to meet the demands of both tidal power and wave energy. Furthermore, our experience providing furnace tubes for petrochemical customers makes MetalTek an ideal partner for high-temperature biomass applications.
