The operator of the air conditioning pump station is located in the heart of the extended Nguyen Sy Sach street The reservoir pumping station project is funded by World Bank (WB) loan. The project has a total investment of more than 20 billion VND, was handed over and put into operation in 2018. However, at this time, another project was started, making this project not yet effective. Break. When project overlaps project In the early days of May, 2021, Reporter of Traffic Newspaper was present at the construction of extended Nguyen Sy Sach Street (in Vinh City, Nghe An Province). As noted, the construction is unfinished but the atmosphere is quite quiet. On the long road through Hung Dung ward, only a few trucks carry the ground for motorbikes to level and flatten. Meanwhile, the ground on this section of the route has not been cleared, the most typical is the pumping station for the conditioning reservoir. According to observations, 2/3 of the construction area is in the middle of the center of the road. In addition, crossing the road, there is a system of floating sewer pipes and submerged culverts carrying water at the bottom. The entire infrastructure in this project is still quite new. A resident living near this project said: “This wastewater treatment pumping station has just been built and has just been put into operation. Now I heard that they are going to have to demolish to make a road, what a waste.” Confirming information, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Phong, Deputy Head of Vinh City Construction and Investment Management Board said: This pumping station project is part of the Vinh urban development sub-project, invested by Vinh City People’s Committee. from the World Bank (WB) loan. Pumping station with a capacity of 10,500m3/day, built around 2015 – 2016 and handed over for operation in 2018. Mr. Hoang Hong Khanh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vinh Urban Infrastructure Development and Management Joint Stock Company, affirmed: The unit has received the pumping station and operated since 2018. Up to now, the station is still operating normally and has never been opened. exploit at full capacity. This station mainly pumps and transfers wastewater along the two banks of the North canal. “The wastewater pumping station component has a total investment of more than 20 billion dong (about 1 million USD), all borrowed from the World Bank. Now that the pumping station has to be demolished to build a road, I don’t know why the project overlaps like that?”, said Mr. Nguyen Trung Dung, former Director of the Urban Development Sub-Project Management Board. Vinh City (representative of the investor) said. Responsible football Talking to PV, Mr. Nguyen The Anh, Deputy Head of Vinh City Urban Construction Project Management Board, added: The city has assigned the City Land Fund Development Center to coordinate with the City Management and Construction Joint Stock Company. develop Vinh urban infrastructure as a plan to relocate a part of the pumping station, making way for the extended Nguyen Sy Sach road project. When asked why in the process of implementing the planning and adjusting the planning to overlap and overlap between the two projects, which wastes money, Mr. Nguyen The Anh explained: The pumping station project is part of the capital project. loans from the World Bank, formed in the 2010s. At that time, there was no master plan for Vinh City until 2030, with a vision to 2050; Subdivision planning and extended Nguyen Sy Sach street have not been formed yet. It was not until 2015, when the pumping station was under construction, that the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 52 “Approving the adjustment of the general planning of Vinh city, Nghe An province to 2030, with a vision to 2050”. At this time, Nguyen Sy Sach Street was extended. “The board is only a construction management unit, on planning issues, you have to ask the City’s Urban Management Department,” said Mr. The Anh. Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Viet Duc, Head of Vinh City Urban Management Department only said: “The pumping station existed before the extended Nguyen Sy Sach street project. The prolonged Nguyen Sy Sach Street is a key project of the city, if it is not done immediately, it will lose the opportunity that the Central Government has allowed.” And although the plan and cost of moving the pumping station has not been approved yet, Mr. Duc still affirmed that the displacement value is “almost zero”. As for why in the process of planning and adjusting the plan to prevent encroachment, Mr. Duc immediately pushed the responsibility: “It was the matter of my predecessor, I had not done it at that time, so I do not know”. Regarding the relocation plan and the State’s payment, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vinh Urban Infrastructure Development and Management Joint Stock Company – Hoang Hong Khanh said: “We have surveyed and identified outside the fence and yard. , the operator must be demolished and relocated to the rear, there is also a section of the floating ditch that is affected and must be adjusted. Fortunately, the pumping system and underground tank were not affected, so the cost of moving (removing and rebuilding – PV) the above items to the back, cost about 1 billion VND. The extended Nguyen Sy Sach road project has a length of 6.5km, started in 2018, expected to be completed in March 2021, extended until December 2021. Total project cost in phase 1 is 240 billion VND. Currently, 4.5km has been compensated for site clearance. The Vinh Urban Development sub-project has a total investment of 128 million USD, of which the WB’s loan is 98 million USD, and 30.43 million USD is the counterpart capital of Vietnam. The project started in June 2013. The basic items were handed over in December 2018, with some remaining balances extended until April 30, 2019.

The event was attended by Ambassador of Israel to Vietnam Nadav Eshcar, Secretary of Hoan Kiem District Party Committee Vu Dang Dinh, Vice Chairman of Hoan Kiem District People’s Committee Nguyen Anh Quan.

Since the company’s energy management system (Energy Management) came into operation in 2014, information on equipment operation and energy consumption has been reviewed and evaluated comprehensively. In fact, the plant’s lines are invested in many stages, asynchronous, so it is necessary to research to have appropriate solutions, especially related to synchronous lines and energy consumption, positive pressure. to use new techniques and technologies to use energy economically and effectively, improve the life of equipment and reduce costs.

In addition to internal issues such as promulgating regulations and instructions related to operating and using equipment to save energy, raising the user’s awareness into a cultural feature, the Company has implementing many renovation projects. Typically the major improvements are as follows:

Water supply system improvementPreviously, using only one upstream station and mixing pumps with different characteristics, causing energy loss, often having problems in the pump system and not meeting production needs well.

The renovation project is divided into 2 independent stations and connected in series: the upstream station reduces the pressure and increases the flow to supply part of the transmission line and the booster pump station is used for the required equipment. higher pressure. Each of these pumping stations includes a number of pumps with the same output and ensures the characteristics of parallel-connected pumps are equivalent and each station has 01 inverter pump as the main driver to automatically control the remaining pumps according to the applied pressure.

Always maintain the desired pressure in each area and optimize power consumption when demand changes to reduce power consumption in this area. The equipment’s age has also been markedly improved.

Install the inverter that controls the fan motor speed: To replace the flue air pressure control system with the previous inlet throttle.

When the power consumption is in proportion to the rate of 3 with the change of speed: N1 / N2 = (n1 / n2) 3 should show that in addition to the ability to respond to the fast system, the power consumption is very saving. After replacement, it was verified that power consumption decreased by more than 20% compared to before.

Replaced Russian 20/8 Piston Air Compressor: By Ingersoll-Rand R160 inverter controlled air compressor from USA to help adjust pressure as desired and save energy consumption.

Installation of low voltage compensation system: In addition to 6KV compensation, automatic compensation cabinets are installed for low voltage distribution stations; directly install compensation cabinets for AC motors> 22 KW, right near where the engine works; help to improve quality Electrical Power for the gear and reduce losses, reduce current through the switch for direct compensation motors.

Install the LEDs: For use areas with different requirements 150 lux, 200 lux, 300 lux, 500 lux, and have separate switches that are clearly communicated and specifically assigned.

Replace the oven ceiling with new materials: Previously made of heat-resistant concrete, there was a large heat loss with the temperature measured above 100 degrees C, the Company replaced with a new material with ceramic fiber, the temperature dropped to around 70 degrees Celsius and ensured ensure better life during work

Installation of aeration systems for filter towers: Helps to dispel the debris that clumps up that previous backwash is ineffective. Helping the filter towers always in effective working conditions, reducing pump power consumption due to reduced filter pressure and increasing the time to change filter material after 3 years instead of yearly as before, reducing production costs.

Renovation of replacement materials for cooling towers: The previous material is PVC with a short working time that must be replaced every 3 years and has a lot of dirt, reducing the heat exchange process is replaced by a Composite material (FRP) with better heat resistance. , no fouling and Splash Bar design to create turbulent and splashing flow for better exchange and cooling (the previous temperature through the Tower only decreased from 5-7 degrees, raised to 10-12 degrees C), reduce the power consumption for the cooling fan and the service life of the material is more than 10 years.

With a series of technical solutions above, energy audit results in 2018 show that energy management activities in Vietnam – Singapore Steel have achieved quite good indicators, power consumption and FO oil have both decreased. Specifically for electricity, from 2015 to 2020, auxiliary power will decrease from 21.70 Kwh / ton to 20.48 Kwh / ton of product; Electricity for production decreased from 97.97 KWh / ton product to below 86.79 KWh / ton of product. FO oil for billet baking in 2015 to 2020 will decrease from 32.50 liters / ton of products to 31.29 liters / ton of product.

Sharing experiences in energy saving activities at the Conference of the Ministry of Industry and Trade

Energy management activities, research and application of science, technology and new technology in the production process help reduce consumption and optimize expenditure. From there, it will contribute to improving productivity, product quality, reducing costs and increasing product competitiveness in the market.

Moreover, this also shows the sense of responsibility, increases creativity and professionalism in the work of the technical team of the Company. Using energy economically and efficiently is a very unique culture of NatSteelVina and this activity has been shared at a number of specialized conferences of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The company will continue to uphold its existing results and traditions to grow and prosper.
