NLMK's Kaluga mini-mill, Russia, to install production facilities
Dec 30, 2010
The plant will receive equipment for its electric-arc furnace (EAF), ladle furnace (LF) and an 8-strand continuous casting machine (CCM) before the end of February 2011. The EAF will use an innovative steel-making technology and will combine high specific electric power (more than 1 mWA/t) with a single-bucket EAF charging practice per one melt. A twin-stand ladle furnace will allow the treatment of steel in two ladles in different positions in turn.
Gas cleaning systems built with the latest available technologies will reduce emissions from the plant by at least 99%, cutting emissions to less than 2 kg/t steel; well below the average for integrated steel-making plants in Russia (25-35 kg/t) andthe EU (15-18 kg/t). Furthermore, the company is planning to install closed water circuits that will prevent industrial water from being discharged into water bodies.The adoption of these process solutions and the installation of up-to-date equipment not only ensures environmental safety for the whole production chain, but also results in high performance, energy efficiency and high product quality.
Main process equipment supplies for the rolling facilities are scheduled for 2011.
