The increase in deliveries to the plant NN Harjavalta

2011-08-08T03:14:00.000-07:00

Ministry of Economic Development authorized the "Norilsk Nickel" did not pay duty on the metal produced for export from imported concentrate, told Bloomberg deputy director of "Norilsk Nickel" Sergei Buzov. The company has already implemented the first test the delivery of nickel and copper concentrates from the Brazilian Votorantim Metais on its production facility in the Murmansk region, the agency reports. This was the third-party material, which was previously supplied by the Finnish plant Harjavalta, owned by MMC. The volume of deliveries in the company did not say.

Prior to that, "Norilsk Nickel" did not use the tolling scheme in Russia. Now this was done in order to increase the load of domestic enterprises, the Company explained. Probably, this practice will continue. "In order to obtain better economic benefit, it was decided the raw material supplied for processing to the Finnish company Harjavalta Oy, was sent to the Kola Peninsula", - added the "Norilsk Nickel". According to Bloomberg, the company in the future does not exclude the possibility of refining in Russia and its own concentrate from the Australian and Asian assets. However, we are talking about small amounts the company says.

Until the end of 2011 it is planned to produce 25 thousand tons of nickel concentrate. Supply of concentrate will be carried to the processing facilities are in Finland (plant NN Harjavalta). The Lake Johnston is located 500 km east of Perth (Western Australia). The project is an underground mine and processing plant with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of ore per year. In total the company is working on a rotational basis 180 people, including contractors.

According to a press release from the company, in the first quarter of 2011, the Finnish nickel refining plant Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta was produced 11.7 thousand tons of nickel, which is 31% higher than the results the same period last year. Increased production of finished products due to significant growth in refining capacity load of the plant, including by supplying intermediates (matte) of third parties.

Production of nickel in concentrate by Tati Nickel was 2.4 tons, while in the period of delivery of nickel in concentrate to Norilsk Nickel Harjavalta refinery to be implemented. The results of the reporting period, the main change was influenced by the mineralogical composition of the ore, which caused the loss of production of nickel and by-products (copper, platinum, palladium) in the first quarter of 2010, as well as holding at the processing plant scale testing of tailings processing of magnetic separation .

Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Yury Trutnev

2011-08-08T01:59:00.000-07:00

In the northern city of a working visit to the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Yury Trutnev. He met with leaders of the Polar Division and representatives of state and local government bodies dealing with ekologii.Yury tour came to Norilsk to get acquainted with the state of affairs in the city-forming enterprise. In the management of the Polar Division, he held a meeting on the environmental situation in the area of the company's business and environmental safety. The meeting was attended by the director of the Polar Division Eugene Ants, his deputy for technology policy and industrial ecology Sergei Eroshevich, chief engineer, Vladimir Zaitsev, as well as representatives of the municipality, and Rosprirodnadzor Hydromet. Everyone knows that - one of the greatest companies in terms of ecology and that he got pretty old technology. At the same time, we understand that others do it for one day is impossible. There is no switch to switch - and tomorrow everything was fine. The main thing - it's a trend. It is important that the company now makes a lot of to upgrade and to inform the public about the environment. At the meeting we talked about how to improve this work further.

By Norilsk - a special approach
Yuri Trutnev said that now the Polar Division implemented many projects in the environmental field, introducing new technology. This leads to a real reduction of harmful effects on the environment over the past five years the number of polluting emissions decreased by 2.5 times. Decreased and the duration of the "gas attack" on the city, in particular, due to the fact that the plants stop number conversion in case of unfavorable wind rose. By 2015, the Polar Division plans to reduce emissions by more than four times.
He also said that the Norilsk - "a unique area in terms of concentration of people around a single enterprise." And for this enterprise is a great responsibility not only for environmental performance, but also for the state of the territories for the quality of life for her, for the social sphere. In this regard, the state's attitude to the work of such an enterprise should be special.
The minister has instructed agencies Rosprirodnadzor very closely together with specialists of "Norilsk nickel" to analyze a program of environmental measures.
In Russia, the changing legislation. We turn to the principles of valuation based on the best available technology. It is important to understand how the "Norilsk Nickel", one of the most important enterprises in our country, will fit into this program. Must work not only urgent upon the factors associated with fines, penalties or other similar measures of state regulation. Must still work and incentives, because the law laid down the accelerated depreciation rules, norms, interest rate subsidies on loans, aimed at ecological modernization. It is very important to configure the system Norilsk in a way that it is not just urgent upon the company to move to cleaner production, but also created the conditions for this.
One way of sharing information and joint efforts in environmental protection, Yuri Trutnev called the local annual scientific conference "Environmental protection and industrial activities in the North," which launched in 2010.
Nearer to Nature

Natural Resources Minister also expressed his desire to visit the nature reserve "Putoransky." Since last year, Russia launched targeted infrastructure program reserves. "Putorana Plateau" in this program did not hit, although it is one of the largest protected areas of the country. A year ago, "Putorana Plateau" listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This decision was based on the fact that the reserve on an isolated ridge (plateau Putorana) presents an ideal combination of sub-arctic and arctic ecosystems - the taiga, tundra, arctic desert. There are untouched by human economic activity water systems. Particular interest is exceptional even on a global scale migration of wild reindeer.
- "Putorana Plateau" is considered one of the most interesting nature reserves in the country - said Yuri Trutnev. - So I want to understand why he did not get into the federal program and can make all the same hit.
According to the Minister, participate in the program will mean the allocation of funds for construction of a base for tourists, infrastructure, new research facilities. Function of reserves - primarily the conservation of flora and fauna, natural biodiversity of the planet. Nevertheless, this function, according to Yuri Trutnev, the only one.
- We believe that the reserves - it is not the territory, fenced by barbed wire, where no one can get - he explained. - It's the most beautiful places in our country and people should be able to see them: come to comfortably accommodate. Throughout the world, exactly as nature reserves and work. That is not the only cause billions in profits, but also help people to communicate with nature.

"We all know that the Polar Division - one of the greatest companies in terms of ecology and that he got pretty old technology. At the same time, we understand that others do it for one day is impossible. There is no switch to switch - and tomorrow everything was fine. The main thing - it's trend. "

It is very difficult to get home alone. Especially the little boy. It happens that the guests travel by taxi for a distance of 50 meters, just imagine. Why?! just easier.

To get to work very hard. Very difficult life for ordinary workers. From simple workers fall into the same situation and foreign guest workers. They come together ordinary workers, engineers, everything. The crowd waiting for the bulldozer and buses. Front of the column is followed by a bulldozer 10-15 buses. Blizzard.

Fishing on Lake Deep

2011-08-02T11:29:00.000-07:00

In July 1987 we have planned fishing trip on Lake Kutoramakan. The group included Michael, Gavrilych, Alex Chumak and Vasilych. Sasha refusal on the eve of departure has led to a complete change of plan the campaign. Instead of the lake Kutoramakan had to go to the lake deep.

On the river flood peak was Norilka, spring was late. The strength of flow was such that the motor-boat against the current to pull only two vortices. We were able to persuade captains of the river fleet to throw us to the lake deep. Along the way, the captains have taught us to catch trout and grayling, gave us a fly from bear fur. Trolling spoon made of - stainless steel. Our gear they rejected. In fact the fish was caught only donated their equipment.

The camp we put on a cape in the place where the river empties into the lake Gudok deep.

They saw the neighborhood. Locality remarkably beautiful and austere. Snowfields on the mountains had not yet melted.

Northern Spring is short, all in a hurry to pass the life cycle. Already flowered poppies polar.

Blossomed frying your favorite flowers and northern Siberians.

First caught the loach. Of salted fish, loaches deleli and soguday. Unfortunately, bald can be infected by worms, which look like white spots on the flesh of fish. This is very dangerous for human health worms.

Misha caught char. Loach - a fish license, and we had to get a license. Lakes often are full-time and contingency water-bailiff.

Gradually getting better everyday life, secured the tent, procured the wood, finished with food and property.

Instead of bread baked pancakes that do best in Gavrilych.

Prepared by catamaran to the back of the road, good Gavrilych carved transom for motor Salut, checked and glued cylinders.

Grayling was caught a few up the river Gudkov, had to walk two kilometers upriver. Gavrilych or I stayed in the camp, as we found traces of wolverine near the camp. Dangerous creature that can tear the property and dirtied products.

Grayling caught well enough on the ear and drying.

I really wanted to bring home the dried grayling.

Great inconvenience caused mosquitoes and midges. Mosquito repellents scare away, and midge just endured. From it we would not save.

Once we went with Misha lake Gudkov, there Misha caught perch, and we met a fisherman from fishing team, we learned that the fish regularly flies a helicopter from Norilsk.

July 27 decided to go home. Loaded catamaran, took about six kilometers under the motor. It became very windy and rain, the waves began to splash seated and the motor. We decided to make a stop. In the morning continued to move, passed a house on the beach. It was rybtochka - a place for fishermen living in the winter. A strong wind arose again. We got to the second rybtochki. We stopped for the night.

On the morning of excitement not calmed down, decided to wait yet. But we were lucky. Khabibulin fishing inspector Valery did bypass the lake and on the way back took us to Norilsk.

Over the past ten days the water in Norilke was still high. When planning a trip to find out details Putorane to local conditions, otherwise you can get into difficult circumstances. We were just lucky. Thanks to good people. August 2nd, we were already at home in Riga.

most extreme in the world of fishing in Russia, Norilsk is not comparable

History Norilsk

2011-08-02T10:48:00.000-07:00

The presence in the area of modern Norilsk mining people were known in the Bronze Age: near Lake Pyasino found parking people of the Bronze Age, found where the primitive equipment for melting and casting, and materials (beads of native copper).
In the XVI-XVII century copper deposits of Norilsk residents Mangasee used. Mangazeya - city, located above the Arctic Circle on the river Taz, the status of this polar village was in 1603. Mangazeya was trade and craft center, during the excavations in 1972-1975 years Mangasee Professor MI Belov was discovered extensive casting yard. In stock copper products, found in Mangazeya attended by platinum, which indicates that the ore for smelting were brought from the Noril'sk deposits. Mangasee decline in the second half of XVII century is associated with the order of the government of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ban walk to Mangazeya by sea. This measure was due to government concerns over the integrity of the Siberian border, as the Northern Sea Route attracted Western European countries (England, Holland) as a possible way to India. The sea route to Mangazeya was closed on the Yamal portage was made strelets cordon. At the end of the XIX century merchant KM Sotnikov attempted to smelt copper from Norilsk ore, he was able to smelt about three tons of blister copper, after which he has built oven collapsed due to uneven rainfall permafrost.

Copper stove merchant Sotnikova (the drawings and eyewitnesses) Artist - AM Sorokin, 1943

on the photograph of Russian says "Zhuravlev and Urvantsev sent in dogs bay Maria Pronchishchev"

Further study of the Norilsk region is associated with expeditions N. Urvantseva in 1919-1926, respectively, confirmed the presence of rich deposits of coal and ores in the eastern spurs of the plateau Putorana.

In 1921, during an expedition Urvantseva was built a wooden hut, which is considered the first home of Norilsk
(The house is preserved to this day, now a museum, "the first house of Norilsk.") In 1935, by prisoners of the Gulag began construction of the Norilsk Mining and Metallurgical Combine them. AP Zavenyagin. In March 1939, the Small Metallurgical Plant produced the first matte, in June 1939 - the first converter matte in 1942 - the first nickel (anode, cathode). Until 1951, the settlement of Norilsk and Norilsk Combine industrial site located at the northern foot of Mount Shmitiha where Urvantseva built the first house (Zero picket) and is currently a so-called "old" town houses there now, no.
In the late 1940s began designing, and in 1951 - the construction of the "new" city on the eastern shore of Lake Long. Construction of the city also began to prisoners of the Gulag (Norillag). In the summer of 1953 is Norilsk uprising - the performance Gorlaga prisoners. In 1953 the village became a town of Norilsk.
In memory of "camp" period of history in the city of Norilsk, a memorial building. Here's how to write about the most famous of them, Boris Ivanov, in his book "The fee for platinum":
In the center of Norilsk, in the area of the Guards, "in an atmosphere of solemnity," even the foundation stone set, promising to erect a monument in this place to those who created the basis for the plant and the miracle of the city. This basalt boulders, weighing 100 pounds was taken from the mountain Rudnaya. On a plate attached to it and it is written: "There will be erected an obelisk, is always a reminder of the heroism of Norilsk, subdued the tundra, which created our city and the plant." There was a bookmark by historical standards, recent, June 26, 1966 ...

Note: The stone remained in the square, the obelisk erected in its place was not. Despite the fact that for most citizens the stone itself has long become a monument and does not require replacement from time to time in the city once again hold a contest for building the memorial project Guards Square.
For the first truly mass graves have been arranged on the slopes of Mount Shmidtiha. It is said that human skulls and bones here nemeryannom. The Poles, the former Soviet Baltic states have erected in memory of this sad place memorial. Lamps are lit and set on the slope of the Orthodox chapel. But all this is located so far from "the people" from the busy intersection of Norilsk, which without a special excursion trip to see the memorial possible.

By myself yet I was not there and photographs are the places I have
Note: to the memorial complex in our time walking bus service.

Milestone in the further development of the Norilsk region was opened in October 1966 copper-nickel ores, located 40 km north-east of Norilsk. At the same time the city was founded Talnakh miners. For processing raw materials of new fields, 15 km west of Norilsk was founded in 1971 and by 1981 built Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant.

Norilsk takes its name from the name of the place where it is located not far from the city of Norilsk is a river (Norilka) (Pyasiny basin), located in the city of Norilsk mountains. About Norilsk and Norilsk River Mountains mention in their reports, travelers Chariton Laptev, A. Middendorf, F. B. Schmidt. Norilsk River got its name, probably in a time when the Russian Taimyr Peninsula was inhabited by people fishing in XVI-XVII centuries, during the existence of Mangasee. Perhaps the name of the river comes from the word "norilo" - a long thin pole that stretched string fixed nets under the ice from the hole to hole. In another version of the name of the river and, accordingly, the city comes from the Evenki word "narus" or Yukagir "NIORT," which means "swamp." And Norilsk about the origin of the name jokingly: "I will not go where the wind is always blowing nose."

Who wants this blog. It will show the life of the city and Norilsk Nickel, Norilsk branch specifically. Maybe in the future we get to Australia or the re-opening Botswana etc.
Main aim is to show the essence keep body and soul together cities and city-forming enterprises. Norilsk will not be able to live without the company, Norilsk without employees. While migrant workers are needed from them to go. Fina is the guest-worker, the Germans.
Interesting article from the lives of workers and their children. School, sports complex is, factories, pipelines, slurry pipeline...
