Serbia-Energy: In September we completed two big overhauls of units TENT B2 and A4, other works are also being in completion. How do you evaluate this year overhaul season?
-Despite the fact that this year overhaul season was smaller when it comes to scope of works, everything was completed with high level of quality. We had major overhauls on units B2 and A4. The B2 overhaul lasted 120 days, the biggest job was the reconstruction of the electrostatic precipitator. Half of needed funds were provided from donations, second half was financed from our own sources. Second major project on this unit was the replacement of part of pipe system, and this represents the start of complete modernization of units B1 and B2. As for A4 unit, the reconstruction of the mills will be completed for 60 days, instead of planned 75 days. On A4 mills we increased the quality and capacity of milling, which is the precondition for process optimization of burning and eliminating of NOx. In September we are completing the repairs on turbine of third unit on power plant Kolubara with outpower of 60mw, and we expect that very soon the overhaul on TENT A4 unit will be completed also, as well as the overhaul of the single unit of 125 MW on Morava power plant. On other units we completed standard overhauls. All facilities will be completely prepared for coming winter season.
