How gasification changed Pskov: from coal soot to smart boilers

Pskov’s transition from coal to gas became the border between two eras in the city’s heat supply. About this "MK in Pskov" reported in the press service of the Pskov enterprise "Pskov heat networks".

At the end of the XX century, the first gas boilers began to appear on the main heat centers, which gradually replaced noisy coal plants.

Automation took over temperature control, and modern heat exchangers and new highways replaced smoked chimneys.

The transition to gas was also an economic renewal: fuel costs decreased, equipment maintenance was simplified, and boiler efficiency reached 95 percent.

The most noticeable result is ecological: the sky over Pskov has become lighter, mountains of coal ash have disappeared, and silence has replaced the roar.

Today, the city's heating system operates on environmentally friendly fuel, the main processes are controlled by automation, and the parameters are monitored remotely.
