Services related to preparation and implementation of coal fired boiler retrofit for biomass at Bialystok CHP Plant

Elsamprojekt services covered a number of issues related to the possibility of retrofitting coal fired OP-140 boiler at Bialystkok CHP Plant to a fluidised bed boiler firing biomass. A full feasibility study of boiler coal-to-biomass conversion at Białystok CHP Plant was prepared. The study consisted of timber biomass availability analysis, technical and economic analysis of conversion alternatives and financial analysis of the selected project alternative.

The feasibility study became a basis for Bialystok CHP Plant management to make a decision to implement the boiler conversion project. Elsamprojekt was entrusted with the task of preliminary biomass contracting for Białystok CHP Plant (approx. demand 200,000 t/a). Services involved preparing letters of intent and a draft of long term biomass purchase agreement to secure interests of both parties, covering technical issues, quality assurance, price development and billing system, organisation and logistics etc. Letters of intent signed as a result of negotiations covered the supply of biomass of various origin in compliance with relevant Polish legislation.

The next phase involved preparing tender specification for conversion of OP-140 boiler to a biomass fired fluidised bed (BFB) boiler and implementation of biomass handling system at Białystok CHP Plant, and evaluation of tenders submitted by potential contractors.

At the moment Elsamprojekt is participating in the fuel conversion project as Owners Engineer.

Owners Engineering for two wind farm projects

Elsamprojekt Polska is participation in two wind projects in north-western of Poland.

Lake Ostrowo Wind Farm. Services in the first phase included preparing tender specification for a wind farm consisting of 17 x 1.8 MW wind turbines. After tender procedure and selection of suppliers, Elsamprojekt is performing the function of Owners Engineer. Commissioning of the wind farm is planned for August 2007.

Zajaczkowo Wind Farm. At the Owners request, Elsamprojekt made a due diligence and verification of the existing documentation as a basis to make the investment decision. Further services included include preparing tender specification for a wind farm consisting of 24 x 2MW. In the implementation phase Elsamprojekt will perform the function of Owners Engineer. Commissioning of the wind farm is planned for late 2008.

Pre-feasibility study for a construction of a new unit in Warsaw.

At the request of Vattenfall Heat Poland, Elsamprojekt Polska analysed multiple alternatives of power units from 200 to 700 MWe, sub- and supercritical, of varied heal output. Analyses were made for two possible locations, at Siekierki CHP Plant and at Kaweczyn Heat Plant.

Technical and economic optimisation involved incorporation of new facilities into the existing process systems, in compliance with the present and future environmental requirements. The analyses took into account a number of parameters and conditions influencing the optimal selection of recommended alternative, such as combustion technologies, steam parameters, thermal cycle of the plant, concept of district heating part, various cooling solutions involving an open cooling system as well as dry and wet fan cooling towers, plant preparation for the future requirements for CO2 reduction. Thermal cycles of the analysed alternatives were modelled and analysed for a number of loads.

As a result of the analyses, supercritical coal-fired units were recommended as optimum solution, for the location of Siekierki - 450 MWe net, for the location of Kaweczyn - 650 MWe
