A large ORBINOX CH valve to be installed in Africa’s oldest hydropower station, the Mulungushi Power Station.
Located near Kabwe in Central Province, Zambia, the Mulungushi Power Station is the oldest hydropower plant in Africa. It was formally opened in 1925. The project site is the dam for the station's main reservoir.
ORBINOX has already commissioned the valves and gates in two of the dams (Daivões and Gouvães). We were selected for this large-scale project thanks to an offer that is technically very solid, and at the same time economically competitive. Also, we have 30+ years of experience in the management of hydromechanical equipment projects.
The ORBINOX CH Fixed Cone Valve is conceived for energy dissipation, flow regulation and high head discharge service in the water industry. Fixed cone valves can be used for regulating bottom and intermediate outlets, ecological flow control and as turbine bypass valve in hydroelectric power stations.
ORBINOX has successfully commissioned the (6x) BU bonneted gates supplied for the Mularroya Dam Project
