1 General Situation of the Project

1.1 Background of the Project

Fushun is a heavy industrial city which relies on the development of coal, iron & steel and petrochemical industry; it is characterized by centralization of industries, high heat load density and long heat supply season up to 150 days. The development of heat supply industry of the city plays an important role in the development of many other sectors.

The existing problems of heat supply for Fushun city at present:

(1)  Serious waste of energy and environment pollution

The dispersed heat supply area of Fushun city covers more than 60% of the total, the heat efficiency averaging less than 50%, a number of dispersed small boiler houses and kitchen ranges result in the smoke pollution which do harm to the residents.

(2)  Low grade, less variety and low efficiency of heat supply

The heat supplying load of Fushun mainly rests on the heating and industrial load, the hot water consumption load takes up small portion, the efficiency of central heating supply can not be exerted. Nowadays, for the low parameter of heat medium and bad quality of heat supply, to provide necessary heat medium has become the main task for civic heat supply; due to the less heat medium, apart from a small number of hotels which can provide hot water, there is nearly no hot water supply in the other areas of the urban section, which can not meet the increasing high-level requirements of steam and domestic hot water as the development of standard of living.

(3)  Function under a system of its own, no mutual coordination

Due to the constraints of management system and other factors, the dispersed boiler houses operate in each own way; there is no coordination between heat source and heat network, any synchronization and match between heat source and the engineering constructions; all of which result in an abnormal phenomenon that the heat source has heat but no supply while the users have no access to heating.

(4)  Because of the incomplete planning of heat supply, there exist too many short-term heat supply projects and the load is not enough for the capacity of newly constructed heat sources.

According to the plan of thermoelectric development of Fushun city, the expansion of heat supply sets of Fushun Power Generation Co.,Ltd will start in Hebei area during 2006~2010 to meet the needs of heat supply, cancel the dispersed boiler shops and to improve the civic environment. The machine set with installed capacity of 2×300MW will be liable for the heat supplying load of more than 10,000,000m2 in Hebei area in winter. The EIA of the thermoelectricity engineering was examined and approved by National Environmental Protection Bureau in 2004. This project is the heating network project matching with heat supply sets.
