Introduction of modern energy-efficient painting technologies at Khokhloma Painting Factory

 Requested amount $ 14 000

Grantee and other contributions $ 19 867

Total cost $ 33 867

Semyonovsky Raion in Nizhny Novgorod is part of the Volga Federal District with the center in the city of Semyonov. The raion is located on the left bank of  Kerzhenets River and its industrial specialization is metal working and wood processing.  Local factories produce iron casting, equipment for the oil and gas industry, furniture and folk craftwork articles.

 

Community problems addressed by the Project:

The project is aimed at addressing the issue of utilizing energy-efficiency technologies and reducing emissions at the key employer of the city of Semyonov, the Khokhloma Painting Factory. Most of the wood-working equipment of the factory that employs 1,100 people was manufactured in the 1980s. The existing pollutant catching system has a low capacity of 60% and, as a result, large amounts of trinitrotoluene, butyl acetate, formaldehyde and suspended matter totaling to 1.6 tons/year are discharged to the atmosphere. Moreover, the existing purification system fails to remove all paint and varnish from the industrial water and most of it ends up in sewerage networks.

Project summary

Two modern highly-efficient painting chambers with independent air exhausts and collectors of water polluted with paint and varnish  were installed to prevent the contamination of municipal sewage.

Project results

During the one-shift operation of the painting chambers, the following results were achieved:
