In 1970 the hypochlorite wastes decomposition site was modernized under the innovative proposal No. 119-70 in order to improve the economic indicators and improve the conditions of labour safety.
Modernization and extension of the neutralization and treatment of industrial sewage water was carried out in 1989. The design of modernization and extension was prepared by the institute UKRVODOKANALPROEKT, Kyiv.
In 2007, a replacement was carried out at the site of mechanical treatment of domestic sewage with the installation of 2 coarse filtering drum-screw screens of the German company HUBER. No changes of process flow parameters were required by the project No. 9584.
In 2011, the replacement was made at the unit of mechanical sludge dewatering: ALDEC G2-60 Smart Decanter centrifuge was put into operation.
In July 2015, in accordance with the project No. 1814, completed by the design department of KARPATNAFTOCHIM Ltd., a liming unit was put into operation.
In November 2015, in accordance with the project No. 1966 ‘Installation of 2MVG-47 “Vykhor” cooling tower”, completed by the design department of KARPATNAFTOCHIM Ltd., the modernization of air compressing unit to was carried out in terms of replacement of air blower cooling system.
Long-distance product pipeline plant
Long-distance product pipeline plant is designed for technical operation of the ethylene receiving and pumping station with the linear part of the ethylene pipeline “Kalush-Western border” and long-distance product pipeline “Drohobych-Kalush”, as well as for receiving, storage, transportation and record of raw materials and products (diesel fuel, ethylene) in the specified volume, nomenclature, assortment and quality.
The plant operates:
• Long-distance product pipeline “Drohobych-Kalush” since 1990, design capacity 490 thousand tons/year, achieved capacity – 720 thousand tons/year. The diameter of the product pipeline is 219 mm, the length is – 84.7 km. The facility is located on the territory of the Lviv region (Drohobych, Stryi districts) and Ivano-Frankivsk region (Dolyna, Kalush districts, the city of Kalush).
In 1995, MOPS was reconstructed in order to ensure the supply of diesel fuel from the long-distance product pipeline “Strashevychi – Drohobych” of the State Enterprise “PRYKARPATZAKHIDTRANS” to the long-distance product pipeline “Drohobych – Kalush”.
• ethylene receiving and pumping station with the line section of ethylene pipeline “Kalush-Western border” since 1974, the design capacity of ethylene transportation – 300 thousand tons per year, the achieved capacity of ethylene transportation – 130 thousand tons per year. The diameter of ethylene pipeline is 325 mm, the length – 204.6 km. The facility is located on the territory of the Transcarpathian region (Berehove, Irshava, Mizhhiria districts) and Ivano-Frankivsk region (Dolyna, Rozhniativ, Kalush districts, the city of Kalush).
Ethylene receiving and pumping station is designed to receive the gaseous ethylene from the hydrocarbon bottling plant or from the pyrolysis plant, to compress and separate the pyrogas of ethylene and polyethylene production and to transport to the vinylchloride production plant and to transport via the Kalush-Western border pipeline at the Tizsa Chemical Plant (Hungary)
The basis of design provides for transportation of ethylene from the Tizsa Chemical Plant to Kalush Chemical Plant.
In 1986, Kalush Production Association “Vinylchloride” put into operation its own production of ethylene and propylene. At the same time, the line section of ethylene pipeline was reconstructed and the direction of ethylene supply to Hungary was changed.
In 2010, the ethylene metering station was reconstructed at the 18th km of ethylene pipeline route. The reconstruction was carried out in order to provide ethylene metering when supplying it from ethylene and polyethylene production of KARPATNAFTOCHIM Ltd. to Tizsa Chemical Plant, as well as to the productions KARPATNAFTOCHIM Ltd. from the Tizs
a Chemical Plant.
Steam and gas supply plant.
In 1967, together with the construction of Kalush CHPP at the Kalush Chemical and Metallurgical Works, a plant designed to supply heat energy of production subdivisions was established, which, after repeated re-constructions and reorganizations, became a part of the production support department.
The main task of the plant is to ensure timely and uninterrupted supply of heat energy (steam), heating water and natural gas to the structural units of KARPATNAFTOCHIM Ltd. and outside organizations, as well as return a high-quality condensate to CHP.
The plant includes: pipeline networks of steam, heating water, heat supply station, distribution high and medium pressure gas pipelines, gas control units and reinforced concrete piers of heat and material pipeline.
The steam with a temperature of 300 ºС and a pressure of 13 kgf/cm2 is transported via interfacility pipelines from Kalush CHP to the production site of the chemical plant and ethylene and polyethylene production. The total length of steam pipelines is 9.3 km. The production site of chemical plant comprises the heat supply station where the cooling units (CU) and reduction-cooling units (RCU) are installed, which make it possible to generate the steam of required temperature and pressure. After heat supply station, the steam with pressure of 12kgf/cm2 and 6kgf/cm2 is transported to S-PVCR and CS production plants for process needs. The total length of steam pipelines at the chemical plant site is 6.4 km.
To provide heating of industrial and amenity buildings at the chemical plant site in the heating season, the heat supply station includes heating water preparation unit. Heating water is heated by steam in the shell and tube heat exchangers and is supplied to consumers via the district heating network using the network pumps. The total length of district heating networks is 7.7 km.
In order to collect condensate, which is generated when steam is used by process plants, the condensate house is provided in the heat supply station. The condensate from the plants is collected in metal tanks with a total volume of 350 m³, and after quality confirmation the condensate from the tanks is supplied back to Kalush CHP via condensate pipeline using the pumps.
The steam and gas supply plant includes the piers of heat and material pipelines with a total length of 7.5 km.
Natural gas with a pressure of 8 kgf/cm2 from Kalush-2 gas distribution station (GDS) is transported by high pressure distribution gas pipelines to gas control units (GCU) of S-PVCR and CS production and ethylene & polyethylene production
In GDS, natural gas is reduced to a pressure of P = 3.0 kgf/cm2 and transported via medium pressure gas pipelines to consumers:
– via gas pipeline from GDS of S-PVCR and CS production to the vinylchloride production plants and from S-PVCR production,
– via gas pipeline from GDS of ethylene & polyethylene production to the units of hydrocarbon bottling, pyrolysis, pyrogas compression and separation, from the production of ethylene halogen derivatives, their polymers and copolymers. Total length of gas pipelines is 6.9 km.
