COAL QUALITY
The quality of the coal shipped to the power station was determined by analyses of
samples taken manually from the railway cars. Quality of the coal fed to the furnace
was determined by analyses of samples taken automatically before the conveyor belts
of the bunker gallery.
Average annual ash mOisture and heat values of the burned coal were as follows:
1993 42.1% 9.9% 3294 kcal/kg
1994 39.7% 8.7% 3679 kcal/kg
The heat value of coal in 1994 comparing to that in 1993 increased due to lessening
of coal slime, the Promproduct coal, and Donbass high-ash coal supply. At the same
time, shipment of higher heat value coal from Western Donbass region increased. In
1994 the quality of 22% of the coal received by the power plant dUring the year was
checked. Actual ash content in the coal turned out to be 2.4% higher than that put
In the attached quality certificates. At some deliveries the disparity reached 19-20%.
In the 4th quarter the mine "Zakhldnodonbasska" drastically worsened the quality of
Its coal. The disparity concerning ash content raised to 6-8%. During the year 1994,
66 claims were made for Inadequate coal quality. The total price of the claims was
2565.7 min. krb. (for 34591 tons of coal). 59 claims with the total price of 2037.9
min. krb. (for 34469 tons of coal) were met. 22 claims which total price is 541.8
min. krb. (for 10275 tons of coal) are under consideration.
During the last year 147 claims were made for failure in performing of obligations for
coal supply. The total price of the claims was 756.4 min. krb. (for 4402 tons of coal).
85 of these claims with the total price of 360.4 min. krb. for 3083 tons of coal were
satisfied. 8 claims with the total price of 38.3 min. krb. (for 226 tons of coal) were
declined. 54 claims with the total price of 357.7 min. krb. (for 1093 tons of coal) are
under consideration.
DUring the last year 63 claims with the total price of 2854.2 min. krb. were made for
late fuel delivery. 50 of these claims with the total price of 1365 min. krb. were
conSidered and satisfied. The mentioned amount ofmoney was not transferred to the
account of Burshtyn Power Plant due to shortage of funds at the account of the
Directorate of L'vlv Railroads. (The payment orders are in the card index file.) DUring
the last year 349.3 min. krb. was received for the claims carried-over from 1993 for
late fuel delivery. 13 claims With the total amount of 1489.2 min. krb. are under
consideration.
