The share of local fuel types in the housing and communal services system of the Vitebsk region will increase to 70% by the end of the year
– At the modernized boiler house in Vitebsk, as an experiment, condensation heat recovery units have been used, which increase the efficiency of boilers running on wood chips by 6%, thereby reducing the specific fuel consumption per 1 Gcal to 159 kg of equivalent fuel. This is comparable to gas boilers, – noted the head of the department.
He added that in the current year, in addition to the task, the reconstruction of a gas boiler house in the Orsha district (Andreevshchina village) has begun. The modernization, which will be completed in the 4th quarter of 2016, involves the installation of two boilers with a capacity of 5 MW, running on wood chips. In addition, the region is modernizing small boiler houses, installing more efficient equipment – pellet boilers that operate without personnel. This year, the installation of such equipmentoccurs in Dubrovensky, Lepelsky, Lioznensky, Orshansky, Senno, Sharkovshchinsky, and Shumilinsky districts.
– To increase efficiency, optimization of heat supply schemes was carried out with the closure of five boiler houses. The region has fully completed the task of replacing heat networks – work has been done on more than 70 km of heat pipelines, – stated Yuri Dyadelo.
