MMK Update on Reconstruction of Coke Oven Battery 12

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
26 Oct, 2022, 6:01 am

The project of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant to upgrade the coke production is aimed at a radical reduction in the technogenic impact on the environment. The reconstruction of the KHP is the largest investment program of the plant, including the creation of a complex of coke oven battery No 12, the construction of a new biochemical plant and the reconstruction of the shop for capturing and processing chemical products.

The capacity of the new coke oven battery will be 2.5 million tonnes of dry coke per year. The general contractor for the construction is Sinosteel Equipment & Engineering (China), and the cost of the project is about 75 billion rubles. The creation of the complex is divided into two stages. The first includes the construction of two blocks of a coke oven battery with a coal tower and two dry coke quenching units, the construction of a coal preparation unit, coke sorting facilities, a desulfurization and denitrification unit, a liquid ammonia storage, an air compressor and fire fighting pumping station, and engineering facilities. At the second stage, two more blocks of a coke oven battery with a coal tower and technological units will be erected.

The laying of the third block has been fully completed, and the installation of equipment has begun. At Unit 4, the refractory masonry is already one third completed, the body of the quenching chamber No 3 has been mounted at the dry coke quenching unit, and work on the refractory masonry has begun. The construction and reconstruction of the coke sorting plant is underway & work is underway on the coke supply paths for 8, 9 and 10 blast furnaces.

At the coal preparation shop, concrete work has been completed at five silos of the third coal preparation unit. This is a preparatory stage for the acceptance, crushing and homogenization of coal concentrate, which will be fed to the third unit of the 12th coke oven battery.

Preparations for the acceptance of water to the biochemical plant are currently being completed. Water will be supplied for cleaning and adjusting the modes from October 25 according to a certain schedule until full circulation and water supply for coke quenching and for the heat exchange equipment of the capture shop. The modernization of the first block of the capture shop is also underway, where a benzene-scrubber department and a tar condensation department are being built.

By the end of the year, all equipment should be installed on the third block of the 12th battery and readiness to start drying and heating the refractory masonry and chimney should be reached.

The sequential launch of coke oven battery No 12 is scheduled for 2023, after which two obsolete batteries will be phased out of operation. This will reduce gross emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere by 11.35 thousand tonnes per year, including emissions of hazardous pollutants.

Published on :
26 Oct, 2022, 6:16 am

Tata Steel Netherland has signed a memorandum of understanding with Ford in Europe to supply the carmaker with Zeremis green steel once the IJmuiden steelworks switches to green hydrogen-based steelmaking. The agreement makes Ford the first customer committed to offtake the green steel that Tata Steel plans to produce via the hydrogen route, which is more sustainable and cleaner than the current steel making method.

As Ford already targets the use of low-CO2 steel in its all-new, all-electric, medium-sized crossover, which will start production in Europe in 2023, the companies intend to explore opportunities to use other green steel products. This includes, for example, Tata Steel’s recently launched Zeremis Carbon Lite, steel with an allocated carbon footprint reduction of up to 100%. The lower CO2 intensity is based on CO2 savings realized within Tata Steel Nederland and is verified by independent assurance expert DNV.

More than half the weight of an average car consists of steel, and a car can consist of dozens different types of steel. All types vary in strength, weight, formability, magnetic properties and coating types. From a safety, environmental and aesthetic point of view, there is a constant desire to make steel stronger, lighter and smoother. And with the growing popularity of electric cars, the design principles of cars are increasingly changing and so are the requirements that a car manufacturer places on steel.

Worldsteel Update on Global Construction Sector Prospects

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
26 Oct, 2022, 6:18 am

The World Steel Association in its latest Short Range Outlook for 2022 and 2023 said that “The post lockdown recovery in construction activity was hindered first by supply bottlenecks and then surging materials costs. Global construction activity is facing further challenges in the coming years as interest rates start to rise across many regions for the first time since the global financial crisis. The residential construction outlook has deteriorated considerably due to rising funding costs, lowered purchasing power, and weak confidence. On the other hand, despite the headwinds, infrastructure remains a bright spot in many regions, as governments are focusing on infrastructure projects.”

In China, the property market remains depressed, and a strong rebound is not expected due to low buyers’ confidence. With some relaxation measures in the real estate market expected, a slight improvement in 2023 is likely. Infrastructure investment could take a more positive momentum as the Chinese government is relying on infrastructure investment to support the weak economy.

In the US, the new Infrastructure Law is expected to boost investment in infrastructure sharply despite the deteriorating overall economic environment. The boom in residential construction is fading amid high construction costs, rising mortgage rates and elevated home prices. Sharply rising interest rates will delay the recovery of the non-residential sector.

In the EU, construction activities are generally weakening amid high material costs, a shortage of materials, rising interest rates, and falling confidence. Italy for its part has seen strong construction growth in 2022 on the back of government incentives, but the future outlook is uncertain.

In Japan, civil engineering projects associated with natural disaster prevention programmes will support construction steel demand.

In India, a strong push for infrastructure, including roads and metro projects, will continue to drive steel demand. Urban infrastructure development will also drive the residential sector’s recovery.

Across ASEAN, governments are focusing on resuming delayed or halted infrastructure projects. Still, tightening monetary policy and rising costs may undermine growth in residential construction in the region.

Mexico is facing a very weak recovery in construction: the sector is not expected to reach pre-pandemic levels in 2023. In Brazil, the construction sector is also slowing down after a strong performance in the first half of 2022.

In the GCC countries, budget-buffering efforts are delaying new projects in the short term, but high oil prices will lead to more construction activities in the near future.

Ukrainian steel maker Metinvest Group, beneficially owned by Mr Rinat Akhmetov and Mr Vadym Novynskyi, today announces that 16 companies of Group have filed claims to the European Court of Human Rights against Russia for damages caused by Russia to Group’s property and possessions in the city of Mariupol and other territories of Ukraine since 24 February 2022. Among others, Azovstal and Ilyich Steel have filed claims with regards to Mariupol-based steelmakers. Additionally, more than 10 Group companies will file similar claims by the end of this year.

Metinvest Group claims, that Russia has been violating its rights under Article 1 of Protocol 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights by causing significant damage and destruction to its assets, by denying the Group’s control over its assets, in many cases to the point of effectively depriving Group of ownership over the assets, and by depriving the Group of the business use and income-generating potential over its assets.

Therefore, each Group company, which has suffered damages because of full-scale Russia’s invasion in Ukraine in February 2022, is filing claim against Russia to hold Russia accountable for the devastations that it has caused to the Group’s assets, seeks fair compensation for damages occurred due to Russian aggression.

Group’s applications follow a similar claim by Mr Akhmetov, co-owner of the Group, which he filed with the ECHR on 23 June 2022. Metinvest Group supports his claim, regards the Group companies’ applications as mutually complementary and is acting in full coordination with its shareholder as the cases progress.

Join EarlyBirds.io Platform for Decarbonizing the Steel Industry

Strategic Research Institute
Published on :
27 Oct, 2022, 5:28 am

Open Innovation Ecosystem Earlybirds.io are preparing to help innovators and early adopter organizations tackle the challenge of decarbonizing the steel industry through networking and collaboration. It said “As population grows and more and more of the world catch up to modern era development, some predict that global steel demand could double over the next 30 years. Unfortunately for a planet that’s already facing the severe impacts of climate change, steel production is also incredibly carbon intensive. This is because the production of steel starts with iron, which already must be heated to high temperatures to be made into the purified” form that can be used for making things. Steel is formed by infusing carbon into that iron, which again takes a lot of heat and carbon-based fuel. This is generally done using blast furnaces, which can reach nearly three thousand degrees and melt large quantities of iron. Creating that kind of heat is an energy intensive process, and with so much demand for steel, the steel industry creates two billion tons of steel and emits more than three billion tons of Co2 annually, primarily from these blast furnaces. This makes steel a ripe industry for carbon reducing innovations.”

It added “A number of technologies have been developed in recent years that show promise towards decarbonizing the steel industry, including carbon capture storage equipment, or purifying iron using hydrogen instead of carbon to make H20, or plain water, instead of the greenhouse gas CO2 as a waste product. Blast furnaces are being replaced with electric arc furnaces, and other innovations are being adopted, but at this time there is much uncertainty about which technologies will become more standard in the future. This is not to say there is not motivation to decarbonize within the steel industry. Key players in the steelmaking ecosystem also stand to benefit from shifting towards low-carbon steel production. However, innovators and the companies that want to make a difference in the industry by using the latest and greenest technologies can struggle to find each other and make things happen.”

Innovators working on these problems can find their place at EarlyBirds at to search, claim and add to their listing.

ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih announced that the largest blast furnace, which was stopped at the beginning of the war or safety of the workers, as well as due to energy risks and a difficult situation with the sale of products, is in the process of conservation. In other words it is being prepared for winter. It said “Today, the main task of the blast furnaces is to dewater all the water pipes, so that during frosts, excess moisture does not damage the cooling system of the metallurgical unit. We are doing this procedure for the first time, as such a large blast furnace has never been idle for so long. The dehydration process is long and is carried out in two stages. At first, the water was blown out with the help of compressed air, now there is a struggle with condensate. All 1,014 blast furnace refrigerators and a complex of air heaters have been blown out, more than 50 kilometers of pipelines have been dewatered. In general, this process will last until the end of October."

It added “During the forced downtime of the blast furnace, we started repairing the right granulator. It is needed to maintain its further stable operation until the beginning of the overhaul of the 1st stage of the blast furnace. Special wells, water collectors-dewaters are restored at the grand installation, so that after blowing the furnace, all the equipment works without accidents. Also, the support beams of the building's floor, work platforms, and stairs between floors are being repaired. There are plans to repair large units inside the dewatered, the roof of the building with water gutters, etc.”

It also said “Active preparation for the heating season continues at the production facilities of the blast furnace No 9 complex. In the workshop, centralized heating systems are checked, buildings and structures are insulated, additional heaters and UFO lamps are purchased.”
