2025 is the year when the company promotes 'innovation-driven improvement, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement'. The Longxi Thermal Power Operation and Maintenance Project Department in Gansu Province has implemented a series of technological innovations and management optimization measures.

While ensuring the safe and stable operation of the unit and meeting the district heating demand, the project team's' fixed discharge waste heat recovery scheme' for raising the temperature of demineralized water has achieved remarkable results, earning recognition and praise from the owner. This innovative practice has set a new benchmark for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement in the cogeneration industry.

As a critical hub for regional energy security, the Gansu Longxi Thermal Power Operation and Maintenance Project, operated by our company, plays a vital role in supplying industrial steam and winter heating for residential areas. Confronted with multiple challenges including energy price volatility, stricter environmental regulations, and rising maintenance costs, the project team adheres to the philosophy that "innovation is the primary driver," focusing on the core objectives of "cost reduction without compromising quality and efficiency enhancement without increasing consumption." They have systematically implemented innovative cost-saving measures. In terms of technological innovation, the project team has conducted specialized research on key operational aspects of the units. By introducing the "fixed exhaust waste heat deep recovery technology," they have achieved secondary utilization of exhaust heat, not only reducing heat loss but also recycling the recovered heat for deionized water heating. This initiative saves over 1,000 tons of standard coal per heating season.

"Innovation-driven cost reduction transcends mere expense-cutting—it's about maximizing resource efficiency through technological upgrades, management optimization, and digital transformation," the project leader emphasized. Going forward, the team will concentrate on technological innovation and management enhancement to further unlock cost-saving potential, delivering replicable and scalable best practices for the company's green, low-carbon, and sustainable development in operations and maintenance.
