Delegation from India Visited E4-SibCOTES
OREANDA-NEWS. November 30, 2009. An Indian delegation has visited E4-SibCOTES in order to share experience and establish future cooperation for the mutual benefit in the area of power plant ash and slag utilization. This visit was the one of a series of meetings held at Siberian companies and enterprises that deal with ash and slag utilization.
Representatives of Ministries, Research and Development laboratories and private production enterprises made up the group of Indian visitors. According Dr. Vimal Kumar, nowadays India is actively improving ash and slag storage technologies, and technologies of ash and slag utilization in the building industry, land filling for further housing construction and agriculture. Technologies development is supported by the Indian governmental policy, which is aimed at power plant efficiency increase and abatement of negative environmental impact.
“Ash ponds of power plants in Russia are almost full. However, it is impossible to expand their capacity due to technical and environmental reasons,” comments Anatoly Lezhnev, head of BoP Department, E4-SibCOTES. “To top it all, ash and slag utilization in industry does not exceed 10 per cent. Such a state of affairs is conditioned by insufficient legal and regulatory framework, lack of operating and relatively cost-effective equipment for ash and slag processing.”
However, E4-SibCOTES find this sphere of activities very promising. E4-SibCOTES’ engineers have designed a dry ash and slag handling for Omsk CHP plant-6 and CHP plant owned by UGMK in Kemerovo region. The design included cutting-edge technology of pneumatic ash removal from ESP hoppers into central silo storage and further on to a processing plant for manufacturing of building materials. This design calls for highly-concentrated dust is transported at a very slow speed that allows us to avoid high pipeline and equipment abrasive wearing, to decrease pipe diameters, as well as reach complete dry ash and slag utilization.
Another E4-SibCOTES project in the area of ash and slag utilization to mention is development of a 66 hectares area (Phase 1) in the Ob River swamped low land. Ash and slag material from Novosibirsk CHP plant-3 is utilized in this project, land is reclaimed with the help of dredgers. The project was launched in 2005 and will last till 2012. The project will yield the following results: an empty reservoir for ash and slag disposal for 15 years will be created, and recultivated area will be used for housing estate building.
The foreign guests had an opportunity to see the project site. In the end, both parties emphasized that they developed interest in further cooperation that would be very fruitful in terms of ash and slag processing and utilization for both India and Russia.
