On the perspective of transfer of Omsk thermal power plants to combustion of fired coals

The existing issues during the combustion of Kazakh coal from the Ekibastuz basin in the Omsk energy system are noted. The environmental problems of coal generation in Omsk are outlined. The possibility of transferring the Omsk coal-fired thermal power plants to the combustion of domestic coals is considered. The options for increasing the efficiency of using solid fossil fuel in the production of electric and thermal energy are given. The existing problem of storing ash and slag wastes obtained by burning high-ash Ekibastuz coals is noted. The transfer of the Omsk CHPPs to the combustion of brown coal from the Kansk-Achinsky deposit, provided that highly effective environmentally friendly technologies are used It is noted that the technology of combustion of fuels in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) has been industrially developed and implemented in power boilers. The results of operation of the first in Russia CFB boiler of unit No. 9 with a capacity of 330 MW at the Novocherkasskaya SDPP are presented.
