Installation of new electrostatic precipitators continues at Krasnoyarsk CHPP-1: a total of 15 units of environmental protection equipment will be built at the station instead of the previously planned 14.
The cleaning efficiency of the new electrostatic precipitators exceeds 99%. 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.
The environmental modernization of Krasnoyarsk CHPP-1 began in 2018 with the dismantling of three old chimneys, which freed up space for the construction of electric filters. They replace existing environmental protection installations – battery cyclones, which have an efficiency of 95%. The efficiency of cleaning the electrostatic precipitators is more than 99%, today there are already eight of them at the station.
"SGK planned to build 14 electrostatic precipitators at CHPP-1, but in the end we increased our plans for environmental installations, and there will be 15 of them. The company has been a participant of the federal program "Clean Air" in Krasnoyarsk for more than five years. And the ecological modernization of the stations is SGK's contribution to the implementation of the program," said Oleg Petrov, Director of the Yenisei branch of SGK.
The increase in the number of electrostatic precipitators, as well as the entire replacement of outdated environmental equipment with more modern ones, is related to the work of the Siberian Generating Company on the transition to the principles of the best available technologies to improve the quality of the environment.
The main equipment at CHPP-1 will also be updated: two boilers are already under replacement. After the renovation, their efficiency will increase from 89.7% to 91.5%, which will allow for more efficient fuel consumption and lower emissions. Two existing turbine units will also be updated, and they will be replaced with new ones with a capacity of 35 MW each.
The total investment in the renovation of Krasnoyarsk TPP-1 will amount to 22 billion rubles. SGK plans to complete the modernization of the station by early 2025. As a result, emissions from CHP-1 will be reduced by more than 20%.
