Gas compressor unit as a part of the power supply complex of Kastamonu Plant: 5 years of reliable providing turbine with fuel
13 April 2020
The compressor unit (CU) from ENERGAS, made based on screw oil-filled compressor, 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; it is equipped with a two-level capacity control system and an automated control system with data transfer function to the top level of APCS. The gas flow rate of CU is 12,000 m3 / h.
The careful engineering and high-quality manufacturing ensured a high level of reliability and efficiency of the unit. The CU of fuel gas began its work on April 13, 2015 – two weeks before the launch of the power supply complex. This allowed local power engineers to conduct a full range of tests of the generating equipment and put it into operation in a timely manner.
The Kastamonu Plant, located in the special economic zone of Alabuga (Republic of Tatarstan), is 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 (GTU) with an installed capacity of 25 MW, created on the basis of the GE gas turbine of LM2500+G4 DLE type. The factory GTU-TPP also includes a waste heat boiler, the heat capacity of which is used to provide process procedures. At the site of power supply complex, there is operates boiler house for output additional amounts of heat.

In 2017, due to the growing energy needs of the enterprise, the thermal power plant was expanded. The GPB180 cogeneration gas turbine unit (Kawasaki) with an electric capacity of 17 MW and a thermal capacity of 27 MW was put into operation. GTUs were synchronized with each other, as well as with the power grid.
The fuel for turbines and boiler house is natural gas. Autonomous power supply complex also comprises power generating units that use wood waste from the main production.
