Baran residents still remember well that bravura optimism that accompanied the construction of the century in Baran. As! CHP is built on the most advanced technologies, which will use local fuels - with peat deposits Usvizh-Buk Tolochinsky district.
Construction contractor was a known Austrian company. Customer - RUE "Vitebskenergo". This miracle construction told on radio and television, wrote in local and national newspapers. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
And finally, the station built and launched. And from the previous optimism was gone. It turned out that the so-called "local fuels", or more simply Usvizh-Buk - peat does not burn in the boilers of this station. Not lit - and that's it. Not burn. Began to find out what it was, and it turned out that the plant is designed for an entirely different sort of peat, not like Usvizh - Beachwood. But our customers - ie the very RUE "Vitebskenergo" Austrians issued incorrect characteristics of peat. Under these characteristics are the station and built, and then later found out that the characteristics were wrong.
Usvizh-Buk field operated for decades. Those layers that were developed 50 years ago, had one part peat. And those that are mined now - is quite another. Today peat has less saturated carbon Vysk more ash, etc. But woe to professionals of "Vitebskenergo" and it never occurred that should have been done physicochemical analysis of peat. Instead, they handed over half a century old data. This turned out to be a disaster.
Much to the dismay of our power engineers revealed that under the present type of peat boilers built even impossible to fix, it requires a fundamentally different combustion technologies. In short, a complete sentence.
Now a new station temporarily runs on wood chips. This - the product timber production, but it made quite insufficient for the normal functioning of such a station.
The fault of RUE "Vitebskenergo" huge amounts of folk remedies have been wasted, spent on the construction of very expensive and, as it turned out, quite senseless facilities. Does this answer for anyone?
