Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Almalyk Mining and Metallurgy Combine (AGMK) is planning to save 147.1 million KWH of electricity and 24.6 million cubic meters of gas, which will equal to 25.2 billion soums, in 2015.
The mining and metallurgy production is one of power-consuming industries. The combine pay attention to saving energy and fuel resources.
The combine said that in recent years the energy consumption increased due to growth of production and launch of new capacities (cement production), but ratio of consumed energy per one unit of processed ore a year is decreasing.
AGMK consumed 1.94 billion KWH of electricity and 280.7 million cubic meters of gas in 2010, while consumption volume made up 2.155 billion KWH (cement production plant – 22.8 million KWH) and 309 million cubic meters of gas (cement plant – 19.8 million cubic meters) in 2014.
The combine said that that saving of electricity in 2014 made up 7.3% and natural gas -13.6%. In 2014, the combine saved 128.6 million KWH of electricity and 26.7 million cubic meters of gas, which makes up 21.5 billion soums.
AGMK said that it developed a complex of measures at increasing energy efficiency of the production capacities till 2019.
The first direction is to construct new melting furnace at copper smelting plant, which will help to cut gas consumption by 43.5 million cubic meters a year for 7.9 billion soums and re-equipment of oxygen station at this plant. Currently, the project is close to completion and commissioning works are underway. This year, AGMK expects to save 10.2 million KWH of electricity or 1.5 billion soums.
It is planned to realize project “Reconstruction of areas on filtration and drying of copper and gold containing concentrates at selection shop and drying copper-molybdenic concentrate, technical re-equipment of compressor station, reconstruction of sub-stations in near future, which will allow to save 20.1 million KWH of electricity and 18 million cubic meters of gas a year for 6.2 billion soums.
The second direction is to implement concrete measures to develop each division of AGMK for 2015 directed at effective use and economy of fuel-energy resources. Some 93 measures are directed to save 114.4 million KWH of electricity and 16 measures to save 24.6 million cubic meters of gas for total sum of 20.5 billion soums.
The third direction is to replace old equipment. The combine plans to replace 27 units of equipment, which will allow to save 16.9 million KWH of electricity for 2.4 billion soums.
The fourth direction is to use alternative sources energy such as bio-gas. It is planned to launch production of bio gas at milk farm with annual production of electricity for 1.1 million KWH (0.2 billion soums).
AGMK installs solar panels each year to produce electricity and heating energy. In 2015, Angren Pipe Plant and Automobile Transport Division will get solar panel stations. It is expected that divisions of AGMK will save 2.2 million KWH (0.3 billion soums).
The fifth direction is replacing lamps to LED-lamps. Last year, AGMK signed agreement on purchase of 114,000 energy saving LED-lamps, which will save 2.3 million KWH of electricity (over 0.3 billion soums).
Implementation of these projects will save 147.1 million KWH of electricity and 24.6 million cubic meters of gas, which will equal to 25.2 billion soums, in 2015.
