NLMK completes installing equipment at new power plant
Jan 26, 2011
NLMK has completed installation of the main equipment for a new 150 MW heat and power plant - one of the key facilities forming Stage II of its Technical Upgrade Program. This project will increase its power generation capacity by 45 % from 332 MW to 482 MW. This will improve the Lipetsk site's self-sufficiency in electric power from the current 44 % to 55 % in the second half of 2011 when the new blast furnace No.7 is commissioned.
Construction of the plant is taking place in parallel with that of the new furnace. The new heat and power plant will use blast-furnace gas - a by-product of the main metallurgical process - for the generation of electric power. Recycling 360,000 m3/h of blast-furnace gas will also reduce the plant's environmental impact and provide an additional 115 Gcal of heat energy as hot water and 120 t/h of steam for NLMK needs.
Currently, the installation of turbine generators, buildings, constructions and pipelines of the main and auxiliary process equipment is completed and commissioning is underway. Hot tests are scheduled for Q2 2011.
