Sapugaskanda Refinery

The Sapugaskanda Refinery (also referred to as Sapugaskanda Oil Refinery) is the single largest oil refinery of Sri Lanka. The refinery was built in August 1969 by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation under the guidance of Iran, initially designed to process 38,000 barrels (6,000 m3) per stream day of Dubai crude oil, and Arabian light crude oil. (Medium sour crude oil) It was commissioned on 12 October 1969. The facility, which covers an area of 165 acres (67 ha), currently has a capacity of 50,000 barrels (7,900 m3) per stream day. As with most refineries, the Sapugaskanda Refinery has an in-house utilities section which supplies electricity, water, steam, instrument air, and other necessities for operations. In total, 65 storage tanks are located at the premises for storage of crude oil, finished, and other products, five of which has a capacity of 40,000 tonnes (39,000 long tons). A further four crude oil tanks located in the separate Orugodawatta tank farm. History The initial survey for the refinery was conducted in 1963. On 9 May 1967, the foundation stone was laid for the refinery. Construction was handled by Snamprogetti, while the facility supervision was handled by UOP LLC. On 12 October 1969, the refinery was commissioned. In 1971, the naphtha merox unit was modified to commence production of liquefied natural gas (LNG), while SBPS production was also commenced with existing infrastructure. The crude distiller was also modified to increase capacity from 38,000 to 50,000 barrels (6,000 to 7,900 m3) per stream day during this period. In 1981, a kerosene merox was installed to process A-1 jet fuel, while the energy-intensive Kerosene unifiner was decommissioned. In 1992, the crude distiller unit was again modified to support far Eastern crude oils such as Miri light crude oil, and Naphtha unifiner capacity was increased to 1100 tonne per day. In 1999, platformer unit was modified to increase capacity to 650 tonne per day, to meet increasing gasoline demand, and to phase out lead in gasoline. In 2003, the kerosene unifiner was modified to process diesel, and the existing gas oil unifiner was rehabilitated to meet the sulphur specification of 0.3%wt in diesel. On 19 February 2018, the entire facility was shut down for 35 days due to a planned refurbishment project. 1,200 engineers and mechanics handled the 24×7 maintenance covering the processing units, utilities, and tank farm. The production shortage during the period was covered by importing the requirements by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation. Power stations Three oil-fired power stations are built at the vicinity of the refinery for ease of fuel logistics: Sapugaskanda Power Station (160 MW) - Owned by the Ceylon Electricity Board Lakdhanavi Power Station (24 MW) - Owned by Lakdhanavi (Private) Limited Asia Power Sapugaskanda Power Station (51 MW) - Owned by Asia Power (Private) Limited See also Energy in Sri Lanka Hambantota Refinery References

Kallady Bridge

Kallady Bridge (Tamil: கல்லடிப் பாலம்; also known as the Lady Manning Bridge) is a road bridge in eastern Sri Lanka. It crosses the Batticaloa Lagoon at Batticaloa. The bridge is part of the A4 Colombo-Batticaloa highway. History The bridge was built in 1924 during British colonial rule. The bridge was named Lady Manning Bridge in honour of the wife of William Manning, the British Governor of Ceylon. It was the oldest and longest iron bridge in Sri Lanka. On average 10,000 vehicles crossed the narrow, single lane bridge daily. Accidents on the bridge would lead to traffic problems in the area. Batticaloa's singing fish legend is associated with the bridge. In 1954 two American priests from St. Michael's College National School, Rev. Fr. Lang and Rev. Fr. Moran, recorded fishes singing under the bridge. The recording was broadcast on Radio Ceylon in the 1960s. In 2006 plans were drawn to build a new bridge parallel to the old one. Construction of the new bridge began in March 2008. Problems with the contractor led to another contractor being appointed. The new bridge was formally opened on 22 March 2013. The new two lane bridge is 288.35 m (946 ft) long and 14 m (46 ft) wide. The bridge cost Rs. 2.6 billion (US$20 million) and was financed by a loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency under the Pro-Poor Eastern Infrastructure Development Project.

Kandy railway station

Kandy railway station (Sinhala: මහනුවර දුම්රිය ස්ථානය, Tamil: கண்டி ரயில் நிலையம்) is a major railway station in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The station is served by Sri Lanka Railways and is the primary railway station in Kandy and one of the most significant in the central hills. The station sits on a branch of the Main Line, leading to the Matale Line. History The Colombo to Kandy railway line (what is now known as the Main line) was extended in stages, with the first stage to Ambepussa completed in December 1864 and the next stage to Polgahawela by November 1866. Following the construction of bridges over the Mahaweli Ganga and the Maha Oya the last rail tracks were laid on 15 April 1867. The next day, the first steam engine entered the Kandy Railway Station. On 30 April 1867, the first train, a goods service, completed the journey from Colombo to Kandy, with the first passenger service commencing on 1 August 1867. Initially, there were two train passenger/mail services, leaving at the respective ends of the service at 7:00am, with the overall journey taking 4.5 hours. The railway station at Kandy was constructed on a site known as Deiyange Wela. It is 512 m (1,680 ft) above sea level and 120 km (75 mi) from Colombo. Architecture Kandy Railway Station features both Modernist and Victorian architecture. The station building is of the Art Moderne style, incorporating curving forms and long horizontal lines. It uses concrete massing to create a geometric form. Its minimalist walls and simple, bold forms contrast sharply with the highly ornamented, traditional architecture that surrounds it. The structure sheltering the platforms is of an older Victorian design. The structure displays stylish arches and intricate metalwork. Refurbishment In February 2008 Chevron Sri Lanka provided RS. 7 million to Sri Lanka Railways to renovate and restore the railway station. The refurbishment was completed by June 2008, prior to the commencement of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit. The works included drainage, landscaping, colour washing of the station building, renovation of lobby flooring, installation of new platform benches, waste collection facilities, and the renovation of toilets and passenger waiting rooms.

Знаходячись між ГЕС Верхня Котмале та ГЕС Вікторія, входить до складу каскаду у сточищі найбільшої річки країни Махавелі (впадає до Бенгальської затоки на східному узбережжі острова біля Тринкомалі). Друга за потужністю гідроелектростанція країни. У межах проєкту Котмале-Оя (права притока Махавелі) перекрили кам'яно-накидною греблею із земляним ядром висотою 87 метрів та довжиною 600 метрів. Вона потребувала 4,3 млн м3 матеріалу та утримує водосховище з площею поверхні 13,7 км2 і об'ємом 174 млн м3 (корисний об'єм 154 млн м3), в якому припустиме коливання рівня в операційному режимі між позначками 665 та 703 метри НРМ. Зі сховища прокладено дериваційний тунель довжиною 7 км з діаметром 6,2 метра, який виходить у долину Махавелі нижче від впадіння Котмале-Оя. Тунель сполучений із запобіжним балансувальним резервуаром висотою 142 метри та переходить у напірний водовід довжиною 0,5 км зі спадаючим діаметром від 5,55 до 4,8 метра. Споруджений у підземному виконанні машинний зал обладнали трьома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 67 МВт, які працюють при номінальному напорі у 202 метри (максимальний напір до 231 метра). Це обладнання повинне забезпечувати виробництво 445 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік. Відпрацьована вода по відвідному тунелю довжиною 0,6 км транспортується у Махавелі. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 220 кВ. Окрім виробництва електроенергії, гідрокомплекс відіграє важливу роль у функціонуванні іригаційної системи, зокрема, накопичений у сховищі ресурс використовують для проєкту Полголла. У межах останнього між греблями станцій Котмале та Вікторія спорудили водозабірну греблю Полголла, яка спрямовує ресурс у дериваційний тунель до ГЕС Уквела (40 МВт) та далі на зрошення. Примітки
