Liaoning Third Medium Cities Infrastructure

closed

The objective of the Liaoning Third Medium Cities Infrastructure Project for China is to improve the energy efficiency and environmental performance of heating and gas services in selected areas of participating cities in Liaoning Province. There are three components to the project. The first component is the centralized heating infrastructure, it will contribute to implementation of heating reform by implementing in new Heat-only Boiler (HoB) and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) supplied systems: (i) demand driven ready systems across the heating chain; (ii) establishing a metering regime across the heating chain (at boiler plants and substations); and (iii) piloting technical approaches in network design through use of about 150 building level substations and in metering through use of building level meters. The second component is the urban gas infrastructure. This component comprises: (a) rehabilitation of gas transmission facilities; (b) rehabilitation and capacity expansion of gas storage equipment involving rehabilitation of the existing 20,000 and 50,000 meters capacity storage tanks and provision of a new 50,000 meters storage tank; and (c) rehabilitation and capacity expansion of gas distribution network including the upgrading of facilities for pressure flow control, corrosion control, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and emergency response arrangements. Finally, the third component is the institutional development.
