Zhodino CHP modernization
Participation in modernization of a strategic energy facility involving an E-60-9.5-510DFT boiler rated at 60 t/h and a transition toward local fuels.
Role
Pavel Samuta participated as a design technician within the project team of the Beloozersk Power Mechanical Plant. His scope included engineering work related to fuel-feed systems, heat exchange, ash removal and tooling or fixtures for welding, assembly and hydraulic testing.
Engineering context
The project concerned reconstruction of the CHP facility with installation of an E-60-9.5-510DFT boiler rated at 60 tonnes of steam per hour. The broader objective was to reduce dependence on natural gas and increase the use of local fuels.
Reported project outcomes
Project materials report a USD 4.7 million economic effect for 2015. The case materials also report approximately 20% improvement in production preparation and approximately 15% improvement in maintainability of key mechanical units. These figures describe the project context and should not be interpreted as an independently audited personal economic contribution by Pavel Samuta.
Business meaning
The case demonstrates engineering work inside a larger production and energy system: equipment design decisions interact with manufacturing preparation, maintainability, fuel economics and operational resilience.
Engineering became part of the facility's energy resilience, not merely a set of drawings.
