Severstal

January 14, 2004

In accordance with the technical modernisation program, in 2004 Severstal will begin reconstruction of its coke battery ? 3. The cost of the reconstruction is US $ 31 mln.

The feasibility study has been already made and the detail designing for the reconstruction of coke battery ? 3 is carried out by Institute "Giprokoks", City of Kharkov, under the contract with Severstal.

The coke battery ? 3, which productivity is 460 thou. t. of coke per year, will differ from the former unit by higher degree of process automation. The introduction of a PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM for control of thermotechnical regime of the coke battery operation will allow to ensure stable high quality of the products and will facilitate heat saving when coking. The Dry coke quenching unit shall be reconstructed with the increase of productivity of quenching chambers from 50 up to 60 t. per hour. That will permit to quench all coke, produced at the battery, in the Dry coke quenching unit and to generate additional steam.

The coking battery ?3 complex incorporates the construction of environment protection facilities which will allow to lower the impact upon the environment. For this purpose, the new capacities shall be equipped with dust-free coke discharge facilities. The introduction of this technology at the reconstructed coke batteries ? 5 and ? 6 allowed to reduce emissions of coke dust to the atmosphere by 700 t. per one year. 

During the year of 2004 Severstal is intended to announce tenders, to sign the contracts on delivery of the equipment and refractories for the reconstruction, which is planned to be started at the second half of the current year. Commissioning of the unit is planned in 2005.

According to the program of the company development, Severstal plans to carry out a step-by-step  reconstruction of coke batteries ? 4 and 7 in the period up to the year of 2013 with the purposes of modernization of coking capacities and further reduction of the environment pollution.
