Investment in heat power Company SP. z o. o. was to replace the current, mechanical installation, dust collection, modern and more efficient installations based on the electro-filters. The modernization included boilers No. 2 and 3. While the boiler # 1 will not be upgraded because it is intended for the liquidation, and biomass-fired boiler of the year 2022 after takes-renewable source of energy.

Technology is the most advanced method available in the technique of electrostatic precipitators. Electrostatic precipitators in the boiler # 2 and 3 are about half the price in the operation, consume half as much electricity than the existing installation based on mechanical cyclones. So it will not affect the cost of heat.

Electrostatic precipitators are constantly monitored (online) by the provider. The device work with feedback, monitoring, elsieve shall examine on a regular basis the effect of dust collection and electrostatic precipitators use exactly as much energy to keep the process on a given level of performance. Savings can help you pay off your loan.

Dust emissions will be not higher than with boiler burning natural gas or oil, although in ełk PEC-u burned is coal. Dust emissions will not be higher than the natural content of particulate matter in ambient air, and so will not worsen his State.

The permissible emissions is currently 400 mg/m³ of combustion gas and will be after 2022, reduced to 100 mg, and after 2025 and 50 mg in the PEC-u does not exceed 10 mg/m3 at full load. In average conditions, shall not exceed 1-2 mg/m3.

In addition, the website www.pec.elk.pl myou can keep an eye dust emissions into the atmosphere.

The total cost of the investment. $6 million:
