Kustenwach Engineering is a company based in Brightburg-an-Norcust, Radictistan which produces large diesel engines and turbine machinery for stationary and maritime applications. The company has two production plants in eastern Norcustsur. Kustenwach machinery is employed on large ships and at power plants and major industrial facilities. The company is the predominate supplier of turbine machinery to Radictistani power plants despite a 2014 bribery scandal.
History
Bribery scandal
In August 2014 the Radictistan Times newspaper broke the story of R$9.4 million paid in bribes to officials of Royal Radictistan Energy, the state-owned power generation and distribution company, in order to secure a 2012 contract to supply eighteen steam turbines for RRE power plants. The company was subsequently fined R$837 million and banned from bidding on government contracts for three years, although the 2012 contract was not affected and no Kustenwach executives were personally held criminally responsible.
Products
Marine Engines
Kustenwach produces diesel engines and gas turbines for marine propulsion. Medium and low-speed[1] diesel engines are manufactured with power ranging from 2 MW to 40 MW. Medium speed engines are commonly used on ferries and Radictimax container ships and LNG carriers. Medium speed engines are produced at Kustenwach's main Brightburg-an-Norcust facility while the larger and heavier low speed engines are manufactured by licensees close to the customer shipyards. Kustenwach diesel engines are assigned a company designation based on the bore of each cylinder in decimeters and the piston stroke length in millimeters. For example, the K24A750 engines utilized on the MS Ailandprinz ferry have cylinders with a bore of 240 millimeters and a stroke length of 750 millimeters.
Kustenwach produces marine gas turbine engines at the Luerkraft plant. The gas turbines are used primarily on naval vessels and fast ropax ferries.
Stationary Engines
The Luerkraft plant produces steam and gas turbines for use in power plants and other facilities requiring major electrical generation capacity. A majority of the steam turbines installed at Royal Radictistan Energy's nuclear power stations have been sourced from Kustenwach Engineering. Kustenwach also produces diesel backup generators.
Notes
- ↑ Engines operating at less than 200 rpm.
