TKZ "Krasny Kotelshchik" and Siemens AG signed a license agreement on November 09, 2016. The document stipulates transfer of a license on once-through boiler evaporative system design to the Russian company. The new license allows the Taganrog Boiler-Making Works to design and produce once-through boilers with an evaporative system enabling variable-pressure operation, which ensures significantly more cost-efficient power unit operation.

Availability of such operation modes is currently a mandatory requirement for advanced boiler equipment. Under the license agreement "Krasny Kotelshchik" specialists will be trained by Siemens AG, which will ensure the most effective integration of foreign expertise into local production.
