Kirovsky plant OTSM completes modernization of air conditioning production
the Installation of two new units of compressor equipment of Kirovsky Zavod OTSM (a part of UGMK-OTSM, combining the assets of UMMC in the processing of non-ferrous metals) completes the full program of decentralization of the supply system of the production site with compressed air.
As noted by the Deputy chief engineer – head of Department on maintenance of fixed assets kzotsm Denis Simonov, this work is carried out with the aim of improvement of energy efficiency, in particular through the rational use of energy.
In 2015, the plant started to implement project on modernization of the compressor of the economy. Its essence is in the transition from the existing air conditioning plant from a single "centre" compressor station, to the local, when at each production site consumption of compressed air installed the equipment.
the localization of the air supply simplifies the supply air reduces its loss during transport in air ducts and allows to obtain the amount of produced compressed air that most closely matches consumption. Currently, in all shops of the factory is equipped with modern screw compressors, it gives the opportunity to achieve higher quality compressed air that meets the requirements applied to enterprise technology.
Recent objects optimization of air supply systems – industrial site No. 2 rolling office rolling-press shop and sewage treatment plant. Here was held the installation of compressor equipment, which consists of two complex in their composition, in addition to compressors, include filters, dryers and receivers. Such structure of the device allows to provide optimal values for purity and moisture content used in the manufacturing operations of air.
in addition, both complexes will be equipped with metering the production of compressed air. The use of modern measuring instruments provide high accuracy of the recorded testimony, and the integration of nodes in the original system of technical energy accounting (collapse) will allow you to control the flow and parameters of compressed air online. Earlier the accounting of volumes of production of compressed air was carried out using a computational method. This is essential for the company, which is due to the specifics of metallurgical production is energy intensive, with a high share of energy costs.
