Managing director of Wennstrom THT on top again

Once again Olli Salonen, managing director of Wennstrom THT, set out on a climbing adventure. This time the challenge was the highest mountain in Africa: Kilimanjaro – 5.895m high! After one weeks hard effort he reached the top at 7.07 in the morning on the 12th of January. The sunrise was fantastic! Olli naturally had the company colours with him.

Torkel™ for mining

In order to decrease the carbon footprint the general use of renewable fuels is on the increase. To get a quick effect it is important that the fuel can be used in existing vehicles and for this reason the blending of renewable fuels with mineral oil products has increased.

A result of this has been the increasingly common issue of microbial fuel contamination, further accelerated by the decrease of sulphur in the products. Torkel™ has been developed to minimize the introduction of water via the ventilation pipes present on all storage tanks, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

Another important function of Torkel™ is to reduce the amount of dust that is transported into the storage tank as a result of the natural “breathing” that occurs whenever the dispenser is used to refuel a vehicle. The incoming air is cleared of dust particles, not only giving a cleaner fuel without dust particles but also a cleaner tank which reduces the need to clean the tank.

In the photos taken at the refueling facility of the Yara Siilinjärvi mine in Finland, Torkel™ can be seen as the blue and grey units on top of the ventilation pipes. Wennstrom THT performed the complete installation of the refueling facility which can refuel vehicles at 500 lpm from the 100.000 litre tank and 100 lpm from the smaller tank. Two Torkel™ units were used for the high capacity line and one unit on the smaller capacity line.

New location in Finland

At the end of February we moved from Nokia and Tampere into larger premises in Ylöjärvi. It is a natural step in the fusion of two companies that they also share offices and workshop. It is also necessary in order to house our expanding staff.

The new site is well situated close to Tampere and just off the main highway E12. We have built a completely new class 1 room for cleaning and repairing dispensers, meters and pumps as well as for calibration purposes.

We will have an open house later this spring when everything is in place.

Wennstrom deepens co-operation with Finnish THT

Wennstrom Flow Control AB deepens its co-operation with Tampereen Huoltamotekniikka Oy (THT) in Tampere by purchasing 39% of the shares on March 4th.  The sellers, Kauko Oksanen, Matti Leinonen and Timo Salminen, will continue to work for the company.

“This co-operation will enable us to better meet the demands of our customers on services and competences. It also opens new opportunities for THT on other Nordic markets”, says Olli Salonen, Managing Director and majority owner of THT.

“We will achieve the best leverage from this step by co-operating in areas like services, administration, warehousing and by sharing also operative resources  where ever we can benefit from joint efforts”, says Vesa Vanhamäki, Managing Director of Wennstrom Flow Control Oy.

Wennstrom and THT complement one another in an exciting manner with Wennstrom in Finland focusing on equipment for petroleum distribution for vehicles and THT on equipment and services for filling stations and other refueling sites and storages. Service station construction and forecourt maintenance is also an important part of THT’s business operations.
