The
construction of cassette 4 at the ash and slag landfill in the thermal power
plant "Nikola Tesla A" in Obrenovac is entering its final stages and
the first tests are expected to begin on July 10, said Dušan Živković, General
Manager of "Electric Power Industry of Serbia", after visiting
cassette 4.
He
pointed out that this is one of the key projects for the improvement of further
work and environmental protection in TENT A and that it will be the largest
cassette for the disposal of ash and slag within EPS, and that it is
particularly important that the most modern technologies and environmental
standards of the European Union will be applied.

After the completion of the desulphurization plant in TENT A, the same one in
TENT B that is in the end of construction, with cassette 4 in our largest TPP,
we continue to invest in environmental protection in order to harmonize our
thermal sector with all EU regulations. This is the only way for EPS to be a
major energy player in the region and beyond in the future. The constructed
cassette 4 will be an example of an ecological way of disposing of by-products
in the production of thermal energy – said Živković.
The
project is worth 45 million euros and is being carried out by a consortium led
by PRO TENT. Cassette 4 will occupy 115 hectares, and 35 hectares of green
protective belt are already being formed around it. In addition to the existing
method of ash and slag disposal, a dense hydromixture of ash and slag will be
prepared for future storage. The strictest environmental regulations were
applied to this project and two types of foils were installed accordingly,
bentonine and high-density polyethylene, each with an area of 1.3 million
square meters. The preliminary design, feasibility study and environmental
impact assessment study were done by the Mining Institute in Belgrade, and the
design for the building permit and the project for execution was done by the
Jaroslav Černi Institute for the Development of Water Resources.
The
first man of EPS also visited the prefabricated plot of the Tamnava mines,
where two BTO production systems are being installed for PK
"Radljevo", and the importance of the implementation of this project,
as well as the progress of works, was emphasized.
