blast furnaces

The sintering plant produces 1.5 million tons of sinter per year using approximately 40% local ore and 60% import ore.
The sinter is used together with lump ore, pellets and coke as reduction agent in the blast furnaces.
The two blast furnaces produce approximately 4000 tons of pig iron daily which is transported to the steel mill using pipe ladles.
Before the pig iron is used in the LD converters it undergoes desulphurisation to achieve the desired sulphur target contents.
