In the converter shop of the plant three calcium carbide supply units required in the process of metal production with a limitation of the sulfur content in the finished steel not more than 0.015% were launched. The project of reconstruction of gas purification units of the mixing department of the converter shop is at the stage of implementation. The taphole tap was purchased and launched. The converter №2 was overhauled with the restoration of design parameters.
A new retaining wall of the knockout trench №3 was built in the slag processing plant. The express laboratory №1 of the mechanical testing department received two modern machines of the German company KNUTH machine tools - portal milling and precision surface grinding.
The sinter factory overhauled the first sintering machine, where the operational change parts were replaced.
The plant also implemented a project to automate fuel and lubricant warehouses with the installation of a set of readout equipment on a kerosene tank.
"Thus, control over fuel consumption is carried out around the clock and eliminates the so-called human factor during the fuel supply and the calculation of the balance," – says the report.
As it was reported by GMK Center, earlier Illich Iron & Steel Works invested over UAH 150 million into the reconstruction of gas treatment plants of the mixing department. Modernization of the equipment made it possible to reduce the dust content of the exhaust gases by almost four times.
