The boiler room of Kryvyi Rih Thermal Power Plant, which provides heat to more than 345,000 residents of the northern part of the city, is undergoing major repairs in preparation for the heating season.
“The company’s specialists are replacing the steam superheaters of two steam boilers that have been in operation for 80 years. The installation of convective packages on water boilers is also underway, which will allow the necessary temperature regime of the coolant to be maintained even in severe frosts,” according to a statement on the website of Kryvyi Rih Thermal Power Plant, which is managed by Naftogaz Group.
The statement notes that modern energy-efficient pumps manufactured in Germany will also be installed, which will be responsible for high-quality water treatment and stable water chemistry.
At the same time, the thermal power plant is preparing other facilities for winter – currently, major repairs are being carried out on 10 boilers throughout the city.
As reported, Deputy Prime Minister for Recovery and Minister of Community and Territorial Development Oleksiy Kuleba noted that as of mid-September, the readiness level of the heating network pipelines of Kryvorizhteplocentral JSC is approximately 60%, but all necessary work will be completed before the start of the heating season. He specified that more than 100 repair and restoration teams are currently involved in replacing heating networks, and work is being carried out first and foremost in areas of damage where hydraulic tests need to be conducted.
