JV "BELINVESTTORG-ALLOY": the NTP plus the component environmental safety

Source

For three years the young enterprise Beloozersk JV "Belinvesttorg-Alloy" varietal smelting of lead from batteries has become a model of effective economic activities, synonymous with the prestige of workers and created a model system of ecological security in the region. Complex conservation measures here, perhaps, is unique and is seen in the bowels of the production and all around really impressive. On the eve of the professional holiday Plavilshchikov — day of the Metallurgist — our correspondent visited the enterprise.

From the first steps from the entrance of this, in fact, a security object, affect total accuracy and aesthetics, an impressive capacity for used PET bottles. The entrance to the administrative building decorated with flowering plants in pots. And even the construction of a new production facility in the territory will not make disharmony: the construction site is fenced, around there is fine and amazing for metallurgical production purity. Immediately suggests the idea that the corner is put to strict observance of environmental requirements, more than justified against the backdrop of ongoing controversy and debate about the degree of safety of production for environment and human health.

Profit from waste!

Familiarity with manufacturing process and conversation with the chief engineer of JV "Belinvesttorg-Alloy" Aleksandr Filipchuk and engineer for labor protection and the ecologist of the enterprise Irina Morgunova confirm perinitial impression.

The first and the only in the Republic plant producing from hazardous waste batteries vintage lead open for private investors, is working to meet the growing needs of this heavy metal in the country and abroad. Importing upscale bar stock metal that corresponds to the hard requirements of the European Union, selling it at home, the company thus removes from the waste of the income.

Since the disposal of batteries (primary processing of lead) in the Republic does, in fact, only JSC "Beltsvetmet", raw materials in the form of lead paste and scrap in production not always enough. To minimize the dependence on supply of raw materials, the company's management decided to open her own line of disassembly batteries. Previously organized collection points batteries delivered to the company, where the crushing, the raw material is extracted for subsequent smelting of lead paste and scrap. Line has enabled the creation of new jobs (today at JV "BIT-Alloy" works about a hundred people); over time, her work will be organized in two or three shifts, so the prospects for expanding production are obvious.

Environmental shield

— Our production is virtually waste-free, — says Irina Morgunova, so fears of Belozertsev in vain. People are afraid because they do not know the truth. Zand the years we have repeatedly proven that the production we are not more harmful than others in the city and the district. For the year under the project should be 200 tons of emissions into the atmosphere (hundreds of times smaller than, say, at Berezovskaya GRES). In fact, it is even less so as the design capacity we have not yet reached. Environmental safety company confirmed versatile independent laboratory research.

The position of Director S. S. Ohrimchuk company management in complying with environmental legislation and the preservation of workers ' health is clear: for these purposes I do not regret neither means, nor forces. Equipped with powerful filters, whose effectiveness is constantly confirmed expensive the latest automated system of control of emissions to the atmosphere of filtered gases, allowing in real time to monitor their quantitative and qualitative indicators. All fixed parameters are permanently archived, that is, at any time for any period of time, you can view a history of working getfillrule facilities, their efficiency and effectiveness. Any deviation from the established norms, the system instantly reacts. Continuous monitoring of emissions (particulates and gases such as oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur) allows you to more carefully adjust and optimize the modes of operation of technological equipment, which positively affects the quality of products. In addition, the system saves money on taxes for emissions of harmful substances: the company pays for real emissions, but not for those identified by established methods.

IDem hard and efficient search technology, allowing to minimize the presence of waste that would need disposal. Progress has been registered, for example, the search technology, which reduced the hazard class svinovodstvo slag. Was found the mechanism of its transformation into ash, used for various needs of the national economy. Today on "beat fusion" no industrial wastes requiring burial, except human waste. Monitoring shows that air, water and soil are also consistent with the established standards.

The second life of lead

Shift foreman Alexander V. Volynets — Pro, truly a devotee to the beloved, and at the same time, in the opinion of the team, very reliable person. With his help she was able to see the entire production cycle.

In the melting furnace at a temperature of 900-1000 degrees of the prepared charge (scrap and paste) is melted rough lead, subsequently, depending on the wishes of the customer, clean copper, antimony, arsenic, tin, and other components in the melting boilers at a temperature of 600 to 640 degrees. A continuous cycle of production dictates the necessity of the work of three teams of 6 people. The final product, high-quality lead is valuable in many cases irreplaceable, and his casting — a magical sight! And these industries have a future, because only the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant will require at least 60 thousand tons of lead! The estimated capacity JV "BIT-Alloy" 10 thousand tons of lead per year.

Occupational

Professionaland human relations in a young, cohesive and creative team are based on a common goal — to further improve production, achieve high economic results. Allocated for labor protection a lot of money (last year more than half a billion), is strictly directed at the improvement of working conditions, provision of protective clothing and of personal protective equipment and other activities.

Creative leadership, in the first place, the Director Sergei Ohrimchuk and chief engineer Aleksandr Filipchuk gush of new ideas. Organizations can learn how the organization of production, and genuine care and concern for people. They understand very well that without the appropriate specialists in any technological equipment is not more than just iron. It is significant that, congratulating the team on their professional holiday, Oleksandr Filipchuk wished the employees good health, good luck and to further facilitate their hard work.

In turn, we wish the young friendly team JV "BIT-Fusion" the implementation of plans and prosperity.
