PJSC "Scientific-Industrial Center Borshchahivskiy Chemical Pharmaceutical Plant" continues to implement energy-efficient solutions.

The factory began to use wood pellet boilers on October 1, 2017, and since then it has saved about 5 thousand cubic meters of gas every day. In 2018, BCPP managed to replace up to 40% of natural gas with alternative fuels.

"Of course, the main advantage of pellets is their safety and environmental cleanliness," – says Oleksandr Marynin, the director of production and reconstruction of BCPP. – "In addition, from an economic point of view, the use of pellets provides us with energy independence from suppliers that have monopolized the energy market, as we work with local enterprises."

In total, in 2018, the company used 940 tons of pellets and replaced 470 thousand cubic meters of gas. The savings amounted to 1 million 789 thousand UAH.

The next planned step is to install compressor equipment with thermal energy recovery. The device will allow use of heat-compressed air for heating purposes.
