The plant will function with residue steam and will have a generator and full condensation turbine with low pressure steam, manufactured by M+M Turbinen-Technik GmbH, of high efficiency and performance, perfectly adapted to Azomures individual demands.
The project will be initiated in the spring of 2021 and the power plant will be commissioned in the first part of 2022.“We continue to invest in modern technologies to prepare the platform for a sustainable future. We chose to use domestic resources of residual steam and the technology suggested by our partners excellently fitted out project. Once the project is implemented we will be able to get closer to the targets of the Green Deal Program of the European Commission. Azomures has an ambitious long term development plan and remains one of the pillars of Romanian industry,” said Harri Kiiski, general manager of Azomures.
The advantages of steam turbine technology includes: long lasting life, safety of exploitation being a technology that has reached maturity and the possibility to function with any kind of fuel.
“The increase of energy independence brings along cost stability, safety in electricity supply, stability and predictability of energy prices. At the same time,the increase of energy efficiency helps reaching sustainability targets by reducing carbon emissions of energy producers and contributed to reaching environment targets. E.ON has a vast international expertise and has personalized solutions of decentralized industrial scale generation, cogenration and trigeneration allowing customers to produce electricity, thermal and cooling agents, thus saving up to 20% of costs.
The company backs customers throughout the project, from planning, design, financing, construction and operation of power plants, company representatives say.
