Smokeless Mobile Coal Power Plant (6 MW) in Zabaykalsky Krai

Zabaykalsky Krai is one of the country’s primary coal centers. However, large-scale mining always has a downside—thousands of tons of coal fines, sludges, and coal dust that have accumulated in waste heaps for years, polluting the environment. What was considered a “dead” ecological burden for decades is now becoming fuel for next-generation energy.

JSC UGK-Energo Group is pleased to announce that the design and preparation for the installation of a unique 6 MW mobile coal-fired power plant have commenced in Zabaykalsky Krai. This multi-block complex will serve as a clear example of deep fossil fuel processing in Russia.

Smokeless Coal Power Generation

The key feature of our energy complex is the complete abandonment of traditional coal combustion in boilers. There is no black smoke, nogiant chimneys, and no massive structures. The power plant operates on a two-stage generation principle: BlockReactor-gasifier + ElectroBlock ORC turbine with generator.

“Thermal Wave” Vortex Gasification: Any waste (dust, sludge, screenings) enters the reactor, where it is instantaneously converted into clean synthesis gas. Due to flame temperatures up to 1,400°C and ultra-strong ceramic lining in the pipes, all complex chemical compounds are completely decomposed. The output consists of efficient gas and absolutely safe, inert Class 5 ash.

Organic Rankine Cycle (Low-temperature centrifugal ORC): The synthesis gas is directed into an afterburner chamber, and the resulting heat warms a special organic working fluid via a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, which drives the turbine blades. The system operates in a closed loop, eliminating heat loss.

Technological Advantages for Business and Ecology

• Use of Various Coal Types and Fractions: The “Neutron-ORC-MEG” mobile coal power plant operates efficiently on the cheapest coal grades, dust, and coal beneficiation waste. This minimizes the cost per kWh, making generation significantly more profitable than traditional boiler houses. (Separate coal furnaces are provided in our product line for anthracite).
• Environmental Safety: Thanks to 100% coal gasification, harmful atmospheric emissions are reduced to zero. The ash powder remaining after gasification is a ready-made mineral raw material that can be profitably sold to construction material manufacturers.
• No Rostekhnadzor Bureaucracy: The system contains no high pressure and no hazardous volumes of free gas. The mobile coal power plant is not classified as a hazardous production facility (HPF). This radically simplifies and accelerates the approval process with regulatory authorities.
• Smartphone Management and 25-Year Lifespan: Thanks to total automation, the entire 6 MW complex is maintained by a minimal shift of only 3–4 people. The use of composites and innovative ceramics guarantees continuous equipment operation for a quarter of a century.

From a Raw Material to a Technological Hub

The launch of the mobile coal power plant in Zabaykalsky Krai will enable the creation of a local industrial cluster. A capacity of 6 MW is more than sufficient to meet the needs of large industrial plants, power remote worker settlements, or—particularly relevant today—directly power mobile data centers (DCs) and computing crypto farms.

Drawing on the experience of our successfully implemented ORC projects, we will demonstrate that a coal mine can cease to be just a source of raw materials. It is now a technological hub where the ecological disposal of waste generates cheap electricity that can be used directly on-site.
