PUBLIC ERRANDS
"Brikel" EAD is judiciary
registered on 30 June 2000. The Company has been created by
integration from "Briquette production plant" EAD and "Maritsa -
East 1" Thermal Power Station EAD.
The complex has his technical, technological and economical
motivated future. The first "Maritsa - East" power station has
been put out of the National Electric Company structures during
the first stage of the structural changes in the energetic
system. A group of exeperts, prof. Garabed Mumdgian at the head
analysed the situation of the both the productions-briquette and
electricity production and evaluated the perspectives after the
integration as positives.
Till now from the start of the pover station (September 1960) to
June 2000, 77 474 212 113 kW/h electricity and 46 870 253 GJ
heat have been produced.
The production of briquettes is 41 342 520 t. 3 May 2000
"Brikel" EAD signed the first contact for electricity sale to
"NEC" EAD.
The economical vitality of the new company depends on the
correct energetic and economical managment.
The briquette production
branch of the "Brikel" EAD is the unique briquette production
plant in Bulgaria. It is situated at about 5 km of Galabovo and
45 km of Stara Zagora.
On the South it is shares a border with "Rozov kladenetz" dam.
The plant has been put into operation 17 October 1961 and
produces coarse - grained fuel (briquettes) size H - 70/75 mm, B
- 40/45 mm, D - 91 mm, Wtr (water) - 11%, Qrj (heat capacity) -
43 000 kcal/kg, Ad (ash content) - to 22%, Str (sulfur) - 3,8%.
The production technology doesn't use adhesives.
The maximum annual productivity of the briquette production
plant is about 1 300 000 t and fuel supplying the thermal power
station is over 250 000 t.
In 1997 a new enriched fiel line getting to electricity
production plant has been inroduced and established. Its coming
into operation gave the posibility to abondon the drying plant
of the power station and brought positive economic effect which
proved to be given to evidence after the integration of "Briquette
plant" and "Maritsa - East 1" thermal power station in 2000
which changed their names to "Brikel" EAD.
The Briquette production plant is the unique briquette
production complex in Bulgaria.
The decision of the construction of a plant of this kind has
been given to satisfy the domestic needs with coarse - grained
fuel considering the reserves of young lignite coal which
Bulgaria disposes in big quantity.
Mine Academy, town of Friberg - Germany made the full analyses
of the briquetting capacity of the materal and the research of
proper technology of the process. The project was assigned to a
German designer's bureau for industrial engineering, town of
Lipzic, Germany.
The construction of the plant started in 1958 and has been
finished in two stages.
The construction and the process of putting the plant into
operation has been accomplished by German specialists.
On 17 October 1961 the operation of the plant started with
production capacities of 600 000 t annual briquette production.
In 1969 the production capacities increased to 900 000 t. In
1969 has been finished the second stage of the civil works and
the third one of the erection works which was the end of the
project construction of the plant which actual production
capacities are 1 600 000 t briquettes.
From 30 June 2000 "Maritsa - East 1" thermal power station and
briquette production plant are transformed in a sole joint-stock
company which has the following range of activities:
- electricity production, heat production, traffic and
distribution of heat.
- briquette production, chippings production and high grade fuel
production from lignite coal as raw material and sale of them.
