ChTPZ: Representatives of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources Assess Environmental Program Implementation
The Chelyabinsk Pipe-Rolling Plant (ChTPZ), a part of the Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK), was visited by Maxim Korolkov, head of the project office of the federal program “Clean Air”, and other representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia), as well as the Ministry of Ecology of the Chelyabinsk Region. The delegation highly appreciated the implementation of environmental programs at the enterprise.
During the working trip, the guests got acquainted with the production of large-diameter pipes in the “Height 239” workshop and assessed the implementation of the agreement on the implementation of a comprehensive plan of measures to reduce emissions into the air. The document was signed in 2019 by ChTPZ, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources (Rosprirodnadzor) and the government of the Chelyabinsk Region.
In accordance with the agreement, ChTPZ commissioned a gas cleaning unit for a plasma cutting machine for large-diameter pipes, equipped with 32 filter membrane elements and cleansing the air from suspended particles, dust and gas-air mixtures. The plant can treat up to 6 million cubic meters annually. m of polluted air. The new equipment makes it possible to increase the air purification factor up to 99.9%.
“The principles implemented at ChTPZ in many ways today define the highest level of development of metallurgical enterprises. The enterprise implements measures to prevent the ingress of suspended particles, dust and gas-air mixtures into the air. As a result, the territory of the enterprise looks more like a recreational area than an industrial site. In total, ChTPZ plans to invest more than 180 million rubles in the modernization of gas cleaning equipment until 2024, and this is an investment in the creation of modern, environmentally friendly production facilities. The colossal work of the company to create the most comfortable environment for its employees is obvious. Being here, you are amazed at the unique opportunity to realize how an industrial enterprise in an urban area can provide clean air! ” – emphasized Maxim Korolkov.
“The investment projects of ChTPZ fully correspond to the tasks that we are solving within the framework of the national project“ Ecology ”. In particular, this applies to improving the environmental friendliness of production, introducing smart technologies, creating comfortable working conditions for employees. In recent years, the company has implemented a large-scale modernization program, building new breakthrough production facilities, where advanced safe solutions have been introduced to preserve the ecological well-being of the territories of its presence, ”said Igor Gilev, First Deputy Minister of Ecology of the Chelyabinsk Region.
“Caring for the environment is a key priority in TMK’s investment policy. When modernizing production facilities, ChTPZ focuses on ecology and systematically works to minimize industrial impact on the environment. In this direction, we must be among the leaders in the region. In accordance with the program approved by TMK, we will continue to modernize the gas cleaning equipment and install new installations at two more pipe-rolling plants of ChTPZ, ”said Valentin Tazetdinov, Managing Director of ChTPZ.
ChTPZ was one of the first industrial enterprises in Chelyabinsk to take the initiative to install and reconstruct gas cleaning equipment for capturing and removing suspended particles, dust and gas-air mixtures. The company invests in environmental projects in the areas of “Atmosphere”, “Water”, “Land reclamation” and “Industrial waste”.
