ROLT has proceeded to designing of CHP for EUROCEMENT
ROLT group has proceeded to fulfill of design works for construction of four gas engine CHP (total power 100 MW) located in Central and North Caucasian Federal Districts of the RF for EUROCEMENT group. New capacities will partially supply cement plants needs for electric and heat power.
In spring 2015 EUROCEMENT group and ROLT group signed contracts to fulfill the design works at the stages “project” and “design documents”. EUROCEMENT group engaged ROLT company in planning of all construction stages of gas engine CHP for Lipetskcement JSC (electric power 23,2 MW), for Oscolcement JSC, Caucascement JSC and for EUROCEMENT group division in Voronezh (all of 25,2 MW). Under these contracts ROLT company choses a site for gas engine CHP construction, elaborates design documentation based on the project provided by the equipment manufacturer Wartsila (Finland) with all necessary external utilities interconnection. Also ROLT company will develop a gas engine CHP connection scheme with the existing plant grids considering their parallel work with IDGC and FGC grids and scheme of power export into industrial grid. Besides ROLT company is in charge to negotiate all processes with grid operators. ROLT company specialists will technically support project appraisal till construction permits for all four gas engine CHP are acquired.
By now the construction sites have been selected, site investigations have been accomplished, power output schemes have been elaborated, gas engine CHP utility systems connection points to industrial grids are determined. Under the adopted time implementation plan, an expert appraisal for two gas engine CHP (Lipetskcement JSC and EUROCEMENT group division in Voronezh) will be carried out. The termination of documents expert review of power stations for EUROCEMENT plants in Stary Oskol and in Ust-Dzheguta (Karachay-Cherkess Republic) is planned for the 1st quarter 2016.
As the principal generating equipment EUROCEMENT group has chosen gas reciprocating units Wartsila 16V34SG with unit capacity of 7,7 MW and Wartsila 20V34SG with unit capacity of 9,7 MW. To reduce the construction time, the manufacturing of the gen sets has already begun in Vaasa where main production capacities of the Finnish producer are located.
The amount to be invested in this large-scale engineering project is about 5 billion rubles. To implement this project EUROCEMENT group intends to use its own financial resources and to undertake a financing.
According to ROLT company project manager, Oleg Perevertaylo, the modern cement industry is not only high-tech but also energy-intensive. As it is estimated, the own EUROCEMENT power generation can reduce the energy cost component in the product price from 17% to 10%.
