Project Owner/s
Norilsk Nickel.
Project Description
Norilsk has given approval for two projects to cut emissions and improve environmental conditions at Kola MMC’s Monchegorsk site.
The company plans to upgrade the fourth technological system in the sulphuric acid section and replace electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) in the dust collecting chamber of the refining shop.
The upgrade includes the construction of a new sulphuric acid production line, bringing the design capacity to75 000 nm3/h, an expansion of more than one-and-a-half times. Cutting-edge equipment will be installed, with all metal pipework, gas ducts and acid tanks to be replaced with durable acid-resistant plastic alternatives. This will cost about Rb3.09-billion.
In addition, Rb3-billion will be spent to replace ESPs used for gas treatment in the refining shop’s fluidised bed furnaces. A new gas cleaning building is to be built as part of the initiative. It will feature 4 four-stage ESPs instead of the existing three-stage precipitators.
