Large scale reconstruction at the Disposal CHP of PJSC «Novolipetsk Metallurgical Kombinat»

Timely update of technological processes and equipment determines the growth of the company's efficiency. Reconstruction of the CHP is always aimed at improving productivity, increasing capacity and developing the most effective ways of operating the equipment. Regular renovation of the equipment guarantees reliability in the operation of the CHP, so it gives confidence in the uninterrupted power supply of the enterprise.

Currently LLC «EnergoFront» company is reconstructing the Disposal CHP. The project provides the installation of a steam-power unit in the existing building of the Ural CHP as a part of a Steam Boiler and SBP. Instead of a generator, a compressor is installed on the shaft of the SBP to supply Blast Furnace No. 6 with the cold blast air. It is also planned to install additional pumping equipment in a pumping station of water recycling.

For this purpose, EnergoFront supplies circulating pumps D6300-27-3 in an amount of 2 pcs. and modernized supplying pumping unit APE-270-150-5 with the electric motor 4AZM-2000/. It is important to note that the reconstruction of the Ural CHP is carried out without stopping the current production.

The Disposal CHP, which is a part of PJSC «Novolipetsk Metallurgical Kombinat» (with a total capacity of 150 MW), is a modern technological complex that includes 3 turbogenerators with a capacity of 50 MW, 3 steam boilers, water treatment plant, cooling towers, etc.

The commissioning of the CHP in 2011 made it possible to increase the utilization efficiency for generating electricity of associated gases, which are a by-product of a coke-chemical, blast furnace and converter productions. With the commissioning of the combined heat and power plant, the self-sufficiency level of the plant's electrical energy reached 53%.

The opinion of the project manager of LLC «EnergoFront» Svetlana Prokudina:

«This project was implemented through a general contractor. The main task that we faced was the supply of basic and auxiliary equipment within the expansion of the CHP. Thanks to a well-organized presentation of the equipment and coordinated work, our team managed to get this order».

With a wish of updates,

Team EnergoFront #FrontProject
