Since 2014, in the special economic zone of Alabuga (Republic of Tatarstan) there is operating the Kastamonu Plant – Europe's largest enterprise for the production of laminate flooring and wood panels MDF / HDF.

Own electric power for production needs is produced by a gas turbine unit with an installed capacity of 25 MW, created on the basis of the gas turbine of type LM2500+G4 (GE).



The factory GTU-TPP includes a waste heat boiler, the heat capacity of which is also used to provide process procedures. At the site of autonomous power plant, there is operates boiler house for output additional amounts of heat. Fuel for the power supply complex is natural gas.

For this project, ENERGAS supplied and commissioned gas treatment and gas supply equipment: booster compressor unit, block-type gas treatment unit, reduction unit.

Block-type gas treatment unit performs flow metering and filtration of gas entering the plant's facilities. BGTU is equipped with a gas metering station and a highly efficient separation system. The degree of gas purification from mechanical impurities and droplet moisture (over 10 μm in size) reaches 99.98%.



BGTU is a sound- and heat-insulated module with maximum integration of equipment on a single frame; operates in automatic mode; equipped with life support systems (heating, ventilation, lighting) and safety systems (fire detection, gas detection, alarm, firefighting).

After pretreatment, the gas is divided into two streams. The first flow enters into the reduction unit (RU). This equipment is designed to reduce the inlet gas pressure from 1.2 MPa to 0.4 MPa before it is fed to the boiler house of the plant. The RU's capacity is 3,000 m3 / h.

The main flow is directed to the compressor unit (CU) of fuel gas, made based on screw oil-filled compressor.

CU compresses the gas to 3.8 MPa and feeds it to the power plant turbine. The unit is housed in a separate all-weather shelter; equipped with a two-level capacity control system and an automated control system with data transfer function on the top level of APCS. The gas consumption of CU is 12,000 m3 / h.



According to the schedule agreed with the customer, the service engineers of ENERGAS will perform comprehensive maintenance of gas treatment and gas supply system.

REFERENCE. SEZ Alabuga is Russia's largest special economic zone of industrial type. It is created on December 21, 2005 on the territory of Tatarstan (Elabuga district), 210 km from Kazan. More than 30 Russian and foreign investors are implementing own projects here.

REFERENCE. Kastamonu Entegre is a leader in the forest products sector in Turkey and one of the ten largest companies in Europe for the production of MDF. Construction of a new plant in the SEZ Alabuga is one of the most ambitious projects of the company.
