Double capacity for ArcelorMittal Monlevade LD Steel Works, Brazil
Feb 28, 2011
ArcelorMittal Monlevade S.A. placed an order for the expansion of the João Monlevade steel mill located in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. The long product manufacturer is currently carrying out a comprehensive expansion program which will double capacity (from actually about 1.2 million t of crude steel per year) throughout the entire process chain. In the course of this program both of the existing 130-t BOF plants will be equipped for parallel operation.
Design and supply of the hot-metal desulfurization station, ladles, deslagging stands, ladle and slag pot transfer cars, and the associated electrical and automation equipment will be carried out by Siemens VAI. Further, the material-feeding system will be expanded to double alloying capacity.
The scope of supply also includes two secondary dust-cleaning systems with cleaning capacities of 800000 and 1 million m3/h, respectively, to process the offgas from hot-metal desulfurization, the converters, the hot-metal supply and secondary steel refining.
This project has a total value of more than 20 million Euros, and is scheduled to be completed in 2012.
