CONVERSION OF CHP-1 TO NATURAL GAS COMBUSTION

Public hearings on the project of expansion and installation of a new energy source based on gas turbine technologies were held at CHPP 1

The chief engineer of the project Anton Koloshin told the participants about the main tasks of the project. According to him, the main technical solutions for the reconstruction and expansion of the station are due to significant wear and tear of the main equipment and the expiration of the permissible service life of the existing steam boilers No. 8 en 11, steam turbines No. 9, 10 and two water heating boilers Article No. 1, 7. And also with the decision of the city hall to reduce the impact on the environmental situation of the metropolis. Expansion and transfer of CHPP 1 to the burning of natural gas as the main fuel will be carried out by installing gas turbine equipment and water heating and utilization boilers to cover thermal loads.
The implementation of the project is also of great social importance for residents of the adjacent district. After switching the station to natural gas as the main fuel, a decrease in emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere in the city center is predicted. The impact on groundwater is significantly reduced. Thus, in addition to increasing the reliability and quality of heat supply, the comfort of living of the population is improved.
Part of the comprehensive reconstruction work will be the improvement and landscaping of the station. The territory of CHPP-1 will be allocated with green spaces to isolate individual premises from dust, harmful gases and industrial noise.
The project will be implemented until 2018.
After the official part, the chief engineer of the project gave detailed answers to the questions of interest.
