18 Adaptation of Unit B2 in TPP Kostolac B,

Adaptation of Unit B2 (348.5 MW) in TPP Kostolac B, including
reconstruction of electrostatic precipitator, Serbia

Reconstruction of Unit 2 (348,5 MW) included activities on the main Unit components: turbine auxiliary plants, boiler plant, steam and other pipelines, electrostatic precipitator and electric power facilities. As a leader of EPC Consortium selected to carry out works, Energoprojekt ENTEL was involved in all activities associated with refurbishment of the Unit. The project goals were set as follows:

  • To achieve nominal output of 348.5 MW (unit has had a considerably lower operational output)
  • To increase availability and efficiency of operation
  • To reach boiler design parameters
  • To reduce dust emission.

Adaptation/modernization of power generation units with partial equipment replacement has shown to be considerably more complex when compared to erection of completely new units. Project management services have proven to be of crucial importance for successful project implementation.
