Taiyuan Iron & Steel Co. (Tisco) steel works will be building a new vacuum decarburization plant directly alongside ladle furnace no 2. The plant will be designed as a double system with a capacity of 180 tons, which will make it the world's largest plant of its type. The order also includes the engineering, the supply of core components, and services.
Siemens VAI will handle the plant engineering and supply core components. These include a special copper ladle cover, which will be used for the first time with a vacuum decarburization plant. It is intended to substantially reduce the formation of slag skulls on the upper part of the furnace. The project is being jointly implemented with Siemens China, which will be responsible for the vacuum locks and the basic automation.
Tisco is located in Taiyuan, in the Shanxi Province. It is one of China's leading steelmakers and its number 1 high-grade steel producer. The company is currently expanding its range of special steel grades.
This secondary steelmaking plant is scheduled to come into production in the middle of 2011, and is part of Tisco's capacity expansion program.
