📍 A project status update on FGD plant at the Nikola Tesla B power plant in Obrenovac, Serbia.

The Nikola Tesla B power plant is a part of Serbia’s biggest power project Nikola Tesla – TENT and serves approximately one-fifth of the country’s electricity needs.🔋

The TENT B flue gas desulphurisation project will reduce emissions of sulphur dioxide and particulates by 96%, from 80,000 tons per year, to 4,500 tons.

The two sets of FGD systems will extend the lifetime of the TENT B units, reduce the level of air pollution, and improve energy efficiency in the country. Pretty amazing, don’t you think?

Thanks to the combined efforts, knowledge and proficiency of all the parties involved, the project is making excellent progress.

We are happy to introduce our new partnership with Aalborg Energie Technik a/s (AET).🤝This cooperation extends to specific agreed upon projects in the Balkan region.

AET is a leading engineering, contracting and services company that supplies biomass-fired boiler plants, power plants and combined heat and power plants (CPH) in the size range from 25 to 170 MWth. They also carry out operation & maintenance services and long-term service agreements on both new and existing plants, as well as conversions and refurbishments of existing plants.

They are known as one of the world’s most innovative suppliers of biomass boilers and combustion systems with exceptionally high efficiency and availability, high fuel flexibility and low emission impact. In addition, their systems have very low maintenance costs.
The company’s boiler and combustion system concept is based on more than 30 years of practical experience in steam generation and biomass combustion.

Why did we choose to work with AET:
🔴 Biomass energy and decarbonisation solutions are playing an increasingly important role in the energy sector.
🔴 We will offer new technologies to our customers, with each of us contributing with our expertise and resources.
🔴 We will complement each other both qualitatively and quantitatively to propose large-scale results.
🔴 We will help each other achieve our common goals and enable our clients to achieve theirs.
🔴 We will work to expand green energy solutions to new audiences in the Balkans.

We share the same goal:
“To provide solutions for a greener future for all, to cover the needs of our customers and to always deliver on our promises!”

The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has selected 9 Hydrogen Valley projects following its first call proposals (2022).

→Hydrogen Valleys are regional ecosystems that link hydrogen production, transportation, and various end uses such as mobility or industrial feedstock – are important steps towards advancing hydrogen technologies and enabling the development of a sustainable hydrogen economy.

→The idea is to demonstrate how all the different parts of the use of hydrogen as an energy vector fit together in an integrated system approach.

→The project is also linked to Ecubes’ educational programme H2Student, which won the Promotional Projects category of the 2020 Finance Energy Awards.

Keep up the good work! We can proudly say, it is a pleasure working with Ecubes. 🤝

➡️ Installation of FRP pipelines and recirculation system pump house is progressing well.

➡️ Rubber lining of tanks and the flue gas ducts on C1 are going well, all seventeen segments of the wet stack on the absorber C1 were successfully installed.

Since 2019, Activ has been working on this large and important project together with Mitsubishi Power, Japan.

This project represents a significant environmental contribution to Serbia thanks to the FGD system, emissions of sulphur dioxide and particles will be reduced 9️⃣-times in the future, from about 74,000 tons to 7,800 tons per year.

Our partner KELAG-Kärntner Elektrizitäts-Aktiengesellschaft organized The Renewable Energy Conference. 🌱☀️🔋

The topic was “The road is long, the time is short,” with a focus on the energy transition in times of crisis.  

🟢 Top-class speakers in business, science, and politics dealt with questions such as renewable energy sources, energy turnaround, and climate protection from different perspectives, including political, technical, and economic points of view.

🟢 Speakers largely agreed that these issues, especially in light of the current conflicts, are a challenging task that concerns everyone, not only politicians and energy suppliers.

ACTIV attends their conference every year as a representative of Kelag in the Western Balkans, mainly because the best speakers always discuss current and future challenges in energy supply.

☑️ We have verified the project implementation alongside our partner Mitsubishi Power from Japan, a company that will provide state-of-the-art flue gas desulphurisation technology on this project.

The TENT B flue gas desulphurisation project will reduce sulphur dioxide emissions from 80,000 tons per year, to 4,500 tons, which is about 20 times less.

Therefore, the construction of the FGD plant will not only extend the lifetime of the TENT B unit, but also reduce the level of air pollution while improving energy efficiency in the country.

☑️ The project is progressing very well thanks to the efforts, expertise and experience of all the partners involved.

We are proud to announce a new and strengthened strategic partnership with AMK Kraków S.A.

The Association of Thermal Engineers of Serbia, awarded the medal “Atanasije Stojković”, named after the first Serbian engineer in the field of thermal energy, to our longstanding cooperation partner Mitsubishi Power Ltd., for the contribution to the development of scientific and technical thought in the area of Thermal science, work and increase of the Association reputation.

Ivan Baković, the director of our office in Belgrade, Serbia, attended the award ceremony and accepted the award on behalf of Mitsubishi Power.

We congratulate Mitsubishi Power on this medal award and wish them continued success in this important field.

On 01 December 2020 in Obrenovac, the ground-breaking ceremony took place for one of the most important ecological projects of the flue gas desulphurisation plants (FGD) – for the thermal power plant Nikola Tesla B Obrenovac (TENT B).

Shinichiro Mitsuyama, the managing director of the Mitsubishi Power Branch office in Belgrade, expressed satisfaction that Mitsubishi Power is engaged in the construction of the FGD plant, which will contribute to the improvement of environmental protection thanks to the best Japanese technology. He further pointed out that the company would build a reliable plant in a timely manner, which would be a true display of friendship and cooperation between Serbia and Japan.

The deadline for the completion of the project and the takeover of the plant by the state-owned electric utility power company EPS is scheduled for March 2024. With the construction of the FGD plant for both units of thermal power plant Nikola Tesla B, it is expected to reduce the total amount of sulfur dioxide emissions from 3000 mg/Nm3 and reduce them to the level of 130 mg/Nm3.

The company Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) withdrew its experts due to the COVID-19 epidemic in April 2020, which partially stopped the trial work. At the end of July 2020, the plant was put into operation again, and the TPP Ugljevik reduced the level of air pollution significantly below the prescribed environmental standards. As of 26 July 2020, the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant in the TPP Ugljevik is back in operation. According to Milutin Tasovac (executive director of TPP Ugljevik), it is showing excellent results, and the trial work will last another 15 days.
