The eighth new electric filter has been put into operation at Krasnoyarsk CHPP-1

At the same time, the power engineers continue to install two boilers and are preparing to replace two turbines. The work is being carried out as part of a project to develop the heat supply system in Krasnoyarsk, which is included in the Yeniseiskaya Sibir CIP. The project involves a comprehensive environmental modernization and expansion of the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-1, as well as an increase in the capacity of the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-3.

Next to the new electrofilter, which has already been put into operation, workers are installing three more similar ones. One is in a high state of readiness – 85% of the work has been completed, and two more will be commissioned simultaneously with the boilers by the end of 2023. Currently, about 200 people are involved at the site: designers, engineers, builders, installers, electricians, insulation and commissioning specialists.

The construction period of the electrostatic precipitators – from the manufacture of the foundation to commissioning – takes seven to nine months. In 2024, the power engineers plan to put three more electrostatic precipitators into operation: they will be located in the indoor building of the boiler shop.

It is expected that by the beginning of 2025, 14 electrostatic precipitators will be operating at Krasnoyarsk TPP-1. The total emissions of the plant compared to the level of 2017, after the completion of all activities, should be reduced by more than 20%, and the volume of particulate matter (ash) emissions by 80%.

The modernization of Krasnoyarsk TPP-1 is scheduled to be completed in 2024. The project, which is estimated to cost 15 billion rubles, of which 4 billion is investments in environmental protection equipment, should improve the environmental friendliness of the plant, the quality and reliability of heat supply.
