Ilsur Metshin has inspected the new boiler house of Kazenergo on Yuzhno-Promyshlennaya Street

The construction of a block-modular boiler house of Kazenergo was completed in December on Yuzhno-Promyshlennaya Street in the Privolzhsky district of Kazan. It will start operation in the next heating season and will provide heat to seven residential buildings for more than 600 people, as well as to social facilities. Today the boiler house was inspected by the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin.

“This part of the Privolzhsky district of Kazan was a potentially challenging area and required a new boiler house. With the support of the republican authorities, the construction has been completed, the last preparations for the launch are underway. In the next heating season, the boiler house will begin to provide heat to residents. It is important to prepare such facilities in advance so that residents have a reliable source of heat,”- Ilsur Metshin said.

A new boiler house on Yuzhno-Promyshlennaya Street replaced the old one, which belonged to JSC Tatnefteprodukt. The facility required renovation of heating networks due to their wear.

Construction work began last spring and was completed in December. Before the start of the next heating season, commissioning work will be carried out. The boiler house will provide heat to 630 residents, a preschool, a branch of polyclinic No. 3 and dentistry No. 9.

As Rustam Abdulkhakov, Director General of Kazenergo, told the Mayor of the city, the boiler house is equipped with modern automated equipment and does not require operators. Data on the operation of boilers and pumps are automatically sent to the control room located in Kazenergo at 162 Gabdulla Tukaya Street.

The efficiency of the new facility is 92% – this is higher than that of the old boiler house, which will reliably provide heat to connected facilities. The installed thermal capacity of the boiler house is 5 MW. In addition, there is a backup fuel economy provided here – in case of emergencies, the boiler house will be able to run on diesel. The facility is equipped with video cameras for safety reasons.

Rustam Abdulkhakov reported the Mayor on the equipment installed in the new boiler house. “In general, there is only 10-15% of imported equipment here, the rest is produced in Belarus, Kazan, Moscow and St. Petersburg, where we purchased three boilers. We can say that everything except the burners is domestic,”- the Director General of the enterprise noted. He also added that this year Kazenergo plans to test the burners made in Kazan. If the tests are successful, the company will switch to locally produced equipment.

Presently, Kazenergo operates 125 boiler houses and provides thermal energy to 27% of consumers in the city. In case of emergency situations, the enterprise has emergency teams, which promptly respond to incoming requests and eliminate problems in scheduled time – up to 6 hours.

This year, the company plans to reconstruct three facilities at 5 Kurchatov Street, 5 Zhukovskogo Street and 6 Topolovaya Street. As Rustam Abdulkhakov explained, the update is required due to the depletion of these boiler houses and the obsolescence of equipment.

Albert Salikhov, head of the administration of the Vakhitovsky and Privolzhsky districts of Kazan, accompanied the Mayor during the visit.
