PJSC “Krasny Kotelshchik” takes part in rehabilitation of the main heat source of Tobolsk

The Taganrog Boiler-Making Works “Krasny Kotelshchik” (TKZ) will supply modernized water economizers for an important power facility in Tobolsk - electric heat and steam generation (ETPG) ZapSibNeftekhim (formerly Tobolsk CHPP). Currently, the purchase of materials and design documentation development are being carried out.

An agreement has been reached to design and supply in 2022 two spiral finned water economizers equipped with the modernized suspension system. They will replace the life-expired membrane economizers of station Boilers No.1 and No.5 installed at ETPG ZapSibNeftekhim (part of SIBUR) production site. Boiler Units ТГМЕ-428, earlier supplied by TKZ to Tobolsk CHPP, have successfully worked at the station for more than 30 years.

The main purpose of the equipment replacement is to improve reliability and efficiency of the boiler units. This can be done with the help of the design solutions of TKZ specialists - during the inspection of the boilers, they suggested the customer to replace the existing boiler units with modernized models. In particular, the spiral tube finning of the new economizers will reduce fuel consumption and increase heat transfer.

The supply of modernized water economizers is not the only joint project of TKZ and ETPG production. Recently, the Taganrog enterprise completed the shipment of the side, front, rear and two-tier water walls of Boiler No.1 furnace, as well as headers for Boilers No.1 and No.5. The delivery of the lot of furnace water walls for Boiler Unit 1 is scheduled by PJSC "Krasny Kotelshchik" by the end of 2021.
