A hexapod robot has demonstrated how it can autonomously inspect wind turbine bolts without the need for technicians to loosen and retighten the thousands of bolts on each wind turbine. The robot will also reduce maintenance time, critical structural failures and extend the life of offshore turbines. The project is being executed by BladeBUG and EchoBolt, both fast-growing UK SMEs with their own independent technology. BladeBUG and EchoBolt have completed successful trials at the ORE Catapult National Centre for Renewable Energy in Bryce and their Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine. This collaboration provides them with an additional product to add to an impressive list of solutions for the wind energy industry. It also proves that a single platform like BladeBUG can continue to perform multiple functions in wind farms.
MAN Energy Solutions will supply four dual-fuel MAN B&W 6S60ME-GI engines for two 8,000-lane-meter hybrid ro-ro vessels for Luxembourg shipping group CLdN. Compared to the largest ships currently in service, the new ships will further reduce carbon intensity by 40% while meeting NOx Tier III standards. The two 234-meter vessels are scheduled for delivery in the first half of 2025.
Adriadiesel has been a major provider of turnkey containerized power plants for many years in marine and stationary applications. Adriadiesel regularly executes complex projects including the turnkey construction of containerized energy facilities with its own structure of experienced engineers, assembly personnel and project management teams. MAN L21/31 engines with a power range of 1460 kWe and 1672 kWe, which are currently in our stock, are ready to be containerized for your power needs.
MAN 28/32S is designed for stationary power plants. It is a reliable and robust engine model which can operate on a variety of liquid fuels. 28/32 complies with all emission limits with the potential for further exhaust gas treatment and can provide up to 4,230 kWm power.
Renovation of the building of the former Mustad / Že-če nail factory in Rakovec has begun. The building, as one of the most beautiful and recognizable buildings of Karlovac's industrial heritage, was bought by Ivan Mikšić, the owner of the Karlovac Turbine Factory, with the purpose of opening a Technical Museum. Adriadiesel will be donating a range of its products to the exhibits to preserve them for future generations.
Not many engine manufacturers can meet the stringent technical requirements to produce a back-up generator for a nuclear power plant. Thanks to its robust and reliable design, Adria 40 engine has been the primary choice of many nuclear power plant owners around the globe when it comes to emergency power generation.
Adriadiesel is currently working on the refurbishment of Adria 40 engines for our dear clients in Russia.

Sulzer Type TD is built as a standard marine engine for direct propeller drive and suitable for all types of single-screw and multiple-screw vessels in river, lake, coastal and ocean service. The propeller thrust is transmitted directly to the thrust bearing built on to the engine through the transmission shafting.
Sulzer Type TG is chielfy used when the engine is connected to a reduction gear, a disengaging friction clutch or a flexible coupling (toothed coupling, Cardan joint, etc.), i.e. wherever the propeller thrust is taken by a thrust bearing in the gearing or behind the special coupling mentioned. For this reason, a thrust bearing built on to the engine is unnecessary. The engine type TD is thus mostly used for fishing boats (with reduction gearing), ferries, dredgers and other special-purpose vessels in which the propulsion arrangements are as described above.
B22 and B29 are 4-stroke engine models from Sulzer. B22s were manufactured in 3 to 8 cylinder versions. B22 has many submodels. BW22s, for instance, were mainly produced to be utilized in ship propulsion modules while BH22s were produced to be utilized as generator prime movers.
Most wear and tear on Sulzer RTA models will occur on parts such as cylinder liners, cylinder head parts (valves, seats, nozzles), plunger and barrels. The bore size of the original RTA series has an extensive range of 380 to 840 mm.
