On September 25th, 2015, ČKD Praha DIZ, member of the ČKD GROUP, put a modern energy source worth 1.015 billion CZK into trial operation and transferred it to the construction investor, Lovochemie, a.s. The construction of the new fluid boiler with a circulating layer represents the most important environmental construction at Lovochemie, a.s. Moreover, it represents an efficient replacement of the two original powder boilers from the 1960’s by a single boiler with the latest coal combustion technology and with emission parameters that comply with the strictest limits of the valid legislature.
The project of this investment unit included project engineering works, delivery of the given technology, assembly and putting the new fluid boiler with accessories, such as a control and management system, cleaning and emission monitoring, transport and storage of the operation media, compressor station, chemical water treatment plant, backup power supplies and revitalization of the energy production block and of the administrative building, into operation.
“The main added value of this delivery is a highly efficient source that fully complies with the EU emission limits valid from January 1st, 2016. Emissions of all monitored substances will decrease significantly. The most significant reduction applies to sulphur oxides emissions, which will drop, compared to the previous boilers, by more than 5 times to 400 mg/m3. Furthermore, this reduction is accompanied by an increase of the overall energy production efficiency by more than 4%,” said Tomáš Krenc, the ČKD Praha DIZ Project Implementation Director.
At the end of September this year the renovated pumping station of the locks was put into the trial operation at Gabčíkovo Dam.
The Contract for overall reconstruction of pumping station of the locks, amounting to almost EUR 1,5 million, was signed in February 2015 between ČKD Energy a.s. (Contractor) and Vodohospodárská Výstavba š.p. (Owner).
Our task was to provide during the summer months complete replacement of the existing pipeline for stainless steel pipeline, to replace the original steel tank with a new one (also made of stainless steel) and to ensure the rectification and necessary repairs of the concrete tank, says Mr L. Zimmermann, Commercial and Project Manager of ČKD Energy, a.s. The major risk around the project was possible flood wave that could flood the area of the lower mouth of the locks. Due to this reason it was necessary to prepare an emergency flood plan to ensure the protection of our staff, the dam area and protection of Danube river against any pollution. Fortunately, nothing like that happened and all the works have been done in accordance with the agreed time schedule, added Mr Michael Landsmann, Technical Director of ČKD Energy, a.s.
ČKD PRAHA DIZ, a.s. is the general technology supplier of all technologies for the tunnel complex Blanka, the longest city tunnel in Europe. The inauguration took place in Letná in Prague with speeches made by Adriana Krnáčová, Major of the capital city of Prague, and Petr Dolínek, the Deputy Major. The tunnel was also blessed by the cardinal Dominik Duka. Another speech at the inauguration was given by the Executive Director of ČKD PRAHA DIZ, a.s. Ing. Martin Frelich, MBA and by representatives of the construction companies. The first cars entered the tunnel just before 3 pm with applause from several hundreds of onlookers. At the same time also started the one year trial operation when ČKD PRAHA DIZ, a.s., member of ČKD GROUP, will provide monitoring and information turn-over to the investor and take part in the complete service and maintenance of the tunnel complex "Blanka."
The final stage of supplying CKD Praha DIZ with a fluidized bed boiler with an output of 120 t/h from steam by burning brown coal, including transporting fuels, ash, fly ash and limestone flue gas cleaning is now in progress. This includes continuous emissions monitoring, extending the chemical water treatment, renovating the low and high pressure feed water supplies, including degassing, extending the high-voltage substation and constructing a LV substation, including own consumption transformers. A compressor station will also be opened along with complete supplies of instrumentation and a control system (DCS) and renovating the entire facade of the energy production unit in Lovochemie. Currently ongoing equipment testing is underway with the planned deadline in September 2015.
At ČKD Praha DIZ a.s., we are currently preparing project documentation for the booster compressor station in Uzbekistan for Lukoil.
In view of the fact that both pressure and the quantity of gas at the site will decrease during the envisaged period of operation in 2015 - 2042, construction has been divided into two stages.
In the first stage, two turbo compressors driven by electric motors will be installed, each in a separate building.
In the second stage, after 2020, two further turbo compressors of a similar type will be installed and connected in series with the original compressors.
Project documentation includes all parts of the station for both stages of construction.
On the current construction we are finishing the construction parts, as well as finishing the construction work the mechanical technology, electrical and ASRTP have been mounted. The DCS system has been completed so that the "distributed control system" ensures the automatic and safe operation of all the technologies. Simultaneously with completing the assembly work the gradual commissioning of individual switchboards and preparing individual tests of each device is taking place on the building site - individual tests - cold tests will commence in October 2015. Also staff training has been started for the complete technological systems, such as the combustion grate, flue gas cleaning, chemical water treatment etc.

DKS Adamtaš is a compressor station of the Lukoil company in Uzbekistan. The contract for the turnkey was won by the Uzbek company Enter Engineering.
ČKD based on their experience with compressor stations, 3D modeling in a program PDMS and positive feedbacks from the Russian project institutes has won a contract for the project works in the stage of Basic Design, Detail Design, as well a customer support during the selection of suppliers, installation inspection and commissioning.
DKS Adamtaš is used to transport natural gas exiting from the primary processing of crude oil into the pipeline. Thus, from the waste gas which was combusted before in the flares, becomes a valuable raw material.
Processing of wood starts in the turn of the year in Slovak city of Martin.
ČKD ENERGY has got an interesting export contract in Slovakia. In the framework of ECOEN project the Company will provide the delivery of technology for wood processing to Martin.
„The production line will process the wood and produce the wood pellets or briquettes, which will be then used for power generation. Our Company provides design, documentation, supply of the technology and its installation, commissioning and training of customer´s staff” informed Mr Radek Honomichl, Project Manager of ČKD ENERGY.
The technology itself consists of two parts. The first part of the technology serves for debarking of the wood logs, then the wood is processed by wood chipper. The originated material is further crushed into micro size woodchips. Sawdust can be used without further crushing. The second part of the technology serves for classification and drying of the wood material, for removal of metal parts and subsequent pelletizing or briquetting. The technology has been designed for the capacity of 1,5 to 2 tons of raw wood per hour, depending of type and size of input raw material. Wood pellets will be produced in compacted cylindrical shape of diameter of 6 mm and length of 5 to 30 mm. They will be manufactured either with bark chip admixture or without bark chips (up to 3%). Briquettes will be of block shape with size of 135 x 65 x 80 to 100 mm and density higher than 1000 kg/m3.
“Building permission was obtained in Oct.2014 and the activities started subsequently without any delay. The trial run of the production line should start in the middle of January 2015”, added Mr. R. Honomichl.
ČKD ELEKTROTECHNIKA, a.s. at the turn of year despatched technology for reconstruction of tram substation in Egypt/ Alexandria. Customer is local transport company APTA (Alexandria Passenger Transport Autority). Reconstruction includes partial compensation outdated technology from former ČKD production, which was destroyed by fire at civil disturbances and now it is out of service. Foremost task therefore will be manage connection of supplied modern technology with current installation from 70 years. Final commissioning of tram substation is scheduled on March 2015.
The Company shall participate in the activities also next year.
Under strict supervision of the water works administrator, the Company carried out in the last week of Nov.2014 successfully the dry tests on the inlet and outlet side of the left chamber of the pound lock of Gabčíkovo dam (Slovakia). Consequently the activities of ČKD ENERGY on this specific part of reconstruction have been completed. In November 2014 the Company signed with the state enterprise „Vodohospodárska výstavba“ (being the water works administrator) a new Contract for reconstruction of slots for floating fixing of vessels in the chamber and for reconstruction of ladder grooves in the left chamber of the pound lock.
At the same time, in the end of November 2014, ČKD ENERGY succeeded in electronic auction for construction of new anchoring points for setting the temporary stoplogs on upper and lower mouth of the left chamber. „There appeared certain damage of the bearing on top gate of the right chamber in summer this year. And as the left chamber serves during the period of reconstruction as a dry dock only, the transportation on Danube was disrupted for certain days needed for the exchange of the bearing and for repair of the damaged gate. It caused considerable problems e.g. in the wharfs in Bratislava, where the boats full of foreign tourists had been stacked in the peak summer season“ says Luděk Zimmermann, Project Manager of ČKD ENERGY, explaining the reasons of electronic auction.
The management of the water works administrator therefore decided to modernize the temporary stoplogs in the framework of the present reconstruction of the chamber of the pound lock. „ Our main task will be to design and install a new hydraulic equipment for the setting of the lower and upper part of the temporary stoplogs in front of the top and bottom gate of left chamber of the pound lock. The existing equipment has been in operation for more than twenty years. The Customer, therefore, decided to install a new advanced equipment, to shorten the overall period of the setting of the temporary stoplogs to approx. one hour (since stoplog flooding by the vessel from its initial position), added Mr Zimmermann.

At the start of this year the Brno branch of ČKD PRAHA DIZ concluded a contract with Dalkia Mariánské Lázně for the construction of a cogeneration plant to produce heat and electricity from renewable resources. This will also include the delivery of a new steam boiler rated at 12 t/h and a turbine for steam reduction rated at 1 MW. The complete unit will be put into operation at the end of this year. With this order ČKD PRAHA DIZ is bringing into play the experience it has already acquired with the construction of a cogeneration plant for Plzeňská teplárenská.
ČKD PRAHA DIZ signed a contract today (17 April 2013) for the construction of a municipal waste incinerator. The construction of the incinerator in Chotíkov in the Plzeň region will begin in June and should be completed by the end of 2015.
This ČKD GROUP project follows on from its references from the municipal waste incinerator in Malešice in Prague and the medical waste incinerator at Motol hospital. “We will construct the Chotíkov waste-to-energy facility together with the German company Martin, the leader in this field for over fifty years, and with the Austrian company Zauner. Our company ČKD PRAHA DIZ will design the incinerator and have responsibility for the energy part of the construction, complete assembly work, and putting it into operation,” said ČKD GROUP CEO Jan Musil at the signing of the contract.
ČKD GROUP considers that the field of incinerators like the Chotíkov waste-to-energy facility has potential. “Projects with energy cogeneration blocks using waste incineration have already been part of the modern trends in the advanced countries in Europe, and in the USA and Japan, for around 20 years. This systematic interconnection of the issues of waste, ecology and energy provides demonstrably positive impacts in terms of improving environmental quality, efficient electricity and heat production, and a favourable energy price for end customers – and, last but not least, also a good return on investment.
