ENERGY EFFICIENCY
LLC Investekoproekt Refinery is involved in field development in remote, undeveloped regions, completely lacking any utilities infrastructure. Under such conditions the question of supplying power to field assets becomes imperative — the key response to which lies in the construction of gas-turbine power plants (GTPPs), thus also addressing the question of effective APG utilisation, used as fuel in independent power generation.
In order to protect the underlying permafrost the GTPP — which has a total weight of 1,500 tonnes — has been set on supports, with a thermo-stabilisation system set in place two metres above the ground.
In order to ensure an uninterrupted power supply to its biggest refinery, NIS, together with LLC Investekoproekt Energoholding, is building a combined heat and power (CHP) facility in Pančevo, with approximately 150 MW capacity. This is the first combined-cycle facility to be built in Tatarstan equipped with both steam-power and gas turbine units.
