The new Evaporation Station has equipment for collecting and deactivation of sulfur-containing emissions for foul condensates treatment. The new ES includes a cooling tower with a pumping station for supplying warm water to production and cooled water to the ES. The implementation of the project made it possible to significantly reduce water consumption, as well as significantly reduce emissions of methylmercaptan and hydrogen sulfide: in relation to 2016 - by 49% and 80%, respectively.
