Implementing 2013–2016 years investments a new water
heating boiler with capacity of 18 MW will be installed in Pergalė boiler-house for increasing of production process effectiveness, connecting it to existing condenser (economizer). An existing 9 MW capacity water heating boiler is adopted for bio-fuel burning in Šilkas boiler-house in order to increase boiler-house effectiveness. It's planned to install a second bio-fuel burned water heating boiler in Šilkas boiler-house in 2014 with common condenser (economizer) for both boilers. It is predicted to install two bio-fuel burned water heating boilers for LTL 12 million in Inkaras boiler-house of capacity 8 MW each with 4 MW capacity smoke condenser (the total capacity will contain 20 MW).
