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 within the framework of the project for the development of the heat supply system of Krasnoyarsk, included in the Yeniseiskaya Sibir KIP. 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 mounting three more similar ones. One is in a high degree of readiness – 85% of the work has been completed, 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 electric filters – from the manufacture of the foundation to commissioning – takes seven to nine months. In 2024, the power engineers plan to include three more electric filters in operation: they will be located in the covered building of the boiler shop.

It is expected that by the beginning of 2025, 14 electric filters will be operating at Krasnoyarsk CHPP-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 the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-1 is planned to be completed in 2024. The project, the cost of which is estimated at 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.
