Powering Performance in Thermal Energy Generation

Fossil fuels - ranging from coal to natural gas - continue to play a critical role in global power generation. As the demand for reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible energy grows, thermal power plants must operate with precision, safety, and resilience. That’s where Rotork comes in.

 

With over 60 years of experience in flow control and automation, Rotork delivers high-performance solutions for managing control valves, dampers, and isolation valves across the thermal power sector. Our electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuators are engineered to thrive in the most demanding environments - withstanding extreme temperatures, high vibration, and airborne particulates common in power generation facilities.

 

Rotork’s intelligent actuation and control systems are trusted by traditional power stations worldwide to optimise combustion efficiency, regulate steam and water flow, and maintain critical pressure and temperature parameters. Our solutions help reduce emissions, minimise fuel waste, and ensure compliance with evolving environmental regulations - all while enhancing plant safety and operational uptime.

 

From boiler feedwater systems to flue gas treatment and turbine bypass applications, Rotork products are designed for durability, low maintenance, and seamless integration with modern control architectures, including SCADA and DCS platforms.

 

Our expertise extends beyond power generation. We support a wide range of industries that rely on thermal processes and fossil fuels - from chemical production and mining to metals, cement, glass, and paper manufacturing. Whether you’re refining hydrocarbons, processing minerals, or producing advanced materials, Rotork offers tailored automation solutions that meet your specific operational and regulatory requirements.

 

Across every application, Rotork delivers proven reliability, energy efficiency, and long-term value - empowering industrial operators to meet today’s challenges and prepare for tomorrow’s energy landscape.
