Krasnoyarsk CHPP-2 successfully confirmed the achievement of emission quotas during an on-site inspection by Rosprirodnadzor

In Krasnoyarsk, an inspection by the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources (Rosprirodnadzor) confirmed the implementation of CHPP-2 measures included in the approved plans to achieve emission quotas under the federal Clean Air program.

When inspecting Krasnoyarsk CHPP-2, Rosprirodnadzor specialists paid special attention to the operation of the automatic emission control system (AEC), and also assessed the progress of implementation of other measures and decisions taken by the Company at the enterprise as part of the Clean Air program.

“The positive conclusion of the supervisory authority is the result of the company’s systematic and comprehensive work on equipment modernization. Ensuring the reliability of heat supply to Krasnoyarsk, increasing the environmental friendliness of the stations and, as a result, the comfort of residents are our key tasks,” notes Oleg Bubnovsky, General Director of the Yenisei TGC (a division of the SGC in the Yenisei Siberia region).

Krasnoyarsk CHPP-2, like other Krasnoyarsk SGC stations, is equipped with sensors of an automated emissions monitoring system installed at a height of 85 meters. They continuously monitor the concentrations of five main substances – nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Gas parameters are also recorded.

Let us remind you that SGC is an active participant in the federal project “Clean Air”. Over the past 6 years, the company has implemented a set of large-scale measures to thoroughly modernize and improve the environmental friendliness of enterprises. The total investment amount exceeded 61 billion rubles. Thus, at the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-1, three chimneys with a height of 105 to 120 meters were dismantled – instead, a pipe with a height of 275 meters was installed, allowing for the effective dispersion of gaseous emissions.

Also, 13 electric precipitators with a cleaning efficiency above 99% were installed at CHPP-1, and 2 more will be installed in the near future. At Krasnoyarsk CHPP-3, together with the second power unit, a new modern electric precipitator was introduced, and the city’s first cooling tower was built, reducing the load on the Yenisei. In Krasnoyarsk, 37 non-environmentally friendly boiler houses have been replaced. Over 700 private households switched to electric heating, which led to a reduction in emissions by more than 2 thousand tons per year.

Directly at the Krasnoyarsk CHPP-2, systematic work is underway to improve the reliability of the main and auxiliary equipment, the enterprise is implementing an investment program according to the plans.
