A system for removing sulphur compounds from flue gases has been launched at the Bishkek thermal power plant

A sulphur purification system, a modern environmental protection device designed to significantly reduce sulphur dioxide (SO₂) emissions into the atmosphere, has been launched at the Bishkek Thermal Power Plant ahead of the autumn-winter period.
⠀
From the moment the modernised power units were commissioned until 2019, the desulphurisation plant operated under the supervision of specialists from the Chinese company TBEA.
⠀
Subsequently, due to a lack of qualified personnel and buyers for gypsum-containing sludge, the desulphurisation system was decommissioned.
⠀
Currently, with the development of sludge processing technologies and as part of measures to improve the environmental situation in the city, sulphur purification has been resumed.
⠀
Today, the plant operates under the supervision of specialists from the Bishkek Thermal Power Plant.
⠀
The introduction of this technology was an important step in the implementation of the programme to improve the environmental safety of the capital. It aims to reduce harmful emissions and transition to more sustainable methods of energy production.
⠀
The desulphurisation system captures up to 96.6% of the sulphur compounds produced during coal combustion, thereby reducing the burden on the environment and contributing to improved air quality in Bishkek.
