An explosion sound was heard in the video; did an explosion occur at the scene? On the 29th, the fire department in Zhenjiang once again addressed the public’s questions regarding this fire. According to preliminary information from the firefighters on site, there were many discarded equipment, pipes, and rubber products there; when heated, they expanded and burst, producing loud noises (similar to the sound of a tire bursting). However, this was not an explosion at the Jianbi Power Plant as rumored online. Please do not believe or spread rumors, which could cause unnecessary panic. ”
Jianbi Power Plant is one of the key power plants in the East China Power Grid. With units 1 to 3, totaling 6 units, having been retired and removed, the plant’s total capacity is 3980 MW. Currently, there are 6 generator sets in operation across 4 phases, namely Phase 4 (#7, #8), Phase 5 (#9, #10), Phase 6 (#11, #12), and Phase 7 (#13, #14). Among them, #7–#10 are products designed and manufactured by the former Shanghai Boiler Factory in the 1970s; they were the largest generator sets produced in China at that time. Starting in 1997, these boilers were gradually converted from UP-type DC boilers into single-furnace, double-circulation control boilers. The efficiency of these boilers increased from 89% before the conversion to 92.31%, their peak-load regulation capacity was improved, and their output increased by 30 MW – setting a precedent for the renovation of similar older boilers. #11. Units #12 are \"large replacing small\" project units, with an output of 330 MW. Construction began in 2003, and it came online in September 2004. Unit 11 won the sole Grand Prize for domestically produced units at the 36th annual meeting of the National Thermal Power Unit (300MW class) competition. The seventh phase of the “larger units replacing smaller ones” project involves the expansion of 2×1000MW units on the site where the previous units used to be located; for this project, Shanghai’s supercritical tower-type boilers of the SG-3040/27.46-M model are employed. In mid-April 2009, the 1X1000MW project for Jianbi Power Plant received official approval from the **National Development and Reform Commission, and the construction of the second unit, which is part of this project, is progressing steadily as planned. On May 26, 2009, Jianbi Power Plant held a series of grand and enthusiastic events to celebrate its 50th anniversary. On May 28, 2009, a grand ceremony was held to mark the commissioning of the 1x1000MW unit.
