Project description

INP International Projects was contracted to equip Boiler 6 of the steam power plant with the Siemens PCS7 controls system. Boiler 6 was built in 1981 by Sulzer, and has six burners and three coal pulverizers. The burners run on anthracite, heavy heating oil, and light heating oil. The boiler also has a grate stoker furnace, where tree bark and effluent sludge are burned. The maximum output of Boiler 6 is about 120 t/h at 150 bar. The steam generated in the boiler systems is used to drive various turbines, or the turbine bypass reducer stations, depending on the mode of operation. It is finally reduced to 1.5 bar. INP International Projects provides planning, engineering, and integration of existing systems into the new controls systems, and recommissioning of the system.
