Vitebsk Oil Extraction Plant commissioned its own boiler house

April 16, Vitebsk / Sergey Kochetov - BELTA/. Vitebsk Oil Extraction Plant OJSC has commissioned its own boiler house, the chief engineer of the enterprise Anatoly Avseenko told a BELTA correspondent. The project was implemented in accordance with the state program for the development of the oil and fat industry. About Br2.7 billion of the enterprise's own funds and funds from the innovation fund of the Belgospishcheprom concern were directed to the construction of the facility and its equipping with modern equipment. The boiler house is equipped with two Vitomax 200HS boilers from the German company Viessmann, which can produce 4 tons of steam per hour. The boiler units are equipped with an automation system and a cascade control unit. The boiler house runs on natural gas and provides the main technological process of extraction with a high-quality heat transfer medium that meets the production needs in terms of pressure and temperature. In addition, the facility makes it possible to reduce energy costs in the cost structure of production. The investment program of Vitebsk Oil Extraction Plant for 2010 also includes the construction of a drying and elevator complex with a capacity of 20 thousand tons. To fully utilize the previously created capacities for processing 300 tons of rapeseed per day, it is necessary to continue modernizing the existing equipment of the preparatory department, which will ultimately minimize costs and ensure optimal production costs. All work is carried out without stopping the production process. Vitebsk Oil Extraction Plant was founded in 1931. Today, the enterprise is one of the largest producers in Belarus, specializing in the production of unrefined vegetable oil, including rapeseed oil, for food and technical purposes. It accounts for about 20% of the volume of vegetable oils produced in Belarus. The plant also produces rapeseed meal. The enterprise has implemented a certified quality management system in accordance with the requirements of STB ISO 9001.
