Centrax supplies to Russian district heating plant
Centrax has strengthened its role in the fast-expanding Russian powergen market with the sale of two 5.2MW CX501-KB7 gas turbine sets for district heating plants. Both projects have been developed by a subsidiary of Gazprom and Centrax will be working alongside Russian EPC specialist General Energy Solutions (GES) to focus on delivering higher efficiency and energy savings through the use of new equipment. The CX501-KB7 package complements GES’ range of products and broadens the range of options available to its clients.
Maintenance support for the packages will be managed by the Russian service centre of Centrax while GES will monitor remotely the technical and economic performance of the sets. The first generator set will power a district heating plant on the eastern outskirts of Moscow, serving the rapid growth of the city while also replacing old heating plant. The second unit is for a district heating plant in Kirov, 800km north-east of Moscow.
