The Minsk Combine of Silicate Products (CSP) has been in existence since 1895. At present, it is the largest producer of building and thermal insulation materials in the Republic of Belarus.

Intensive development of production and development of the production of modern products of European quality required the upgrade of the power supply system of the combine. The most profitable option was to equip the enterprise with its own power supply complex with the use of advanced technologies of gas power engineering.

As a result, today, a gas turbine unit (GTU) produced by the Swiss company Turbomach put into operation on the site of the steam-power workshop of the Minsk CSP. The basis of the GTU brand TBM-C40 is the turbine of type Centaur 40 GS (Solar Turbines Inc.); the capacity of the generating equipment is 3.5 MW.

Fuel gas supply to the GTU turbine is provided by booster compressor unit of Enerproject with a capacity of 1,530 m3 / h, made on the basis of screw oil-filled compressor. The unit is equipped with all necessary engineering systems; its capabilities allow compressing gas from 0.3 to 2.5 MPa.

The entire cycle of pre-start operations on gas supply equipment was performed by the leading technical specialists of the ENERGAS Group – the official representative and partner of the Swiss company Enerproject SA in Russia and CIS countries.



The implementation of the project made it possible to derive a double benefit. Firstly, due to reduction of expenses for the fuel and energy component, the cost of manufactured products decreased, which increased the competitiveness of the combine. Secondly, the power supply complex not only completely supplies electricity to the CSP's own needs, but also allows the company to receive additional profit by selling surplus electricity to local power grids.
