Danieli, Severstal Ink Deal for BF Modernization
04/27/2021 - Danieli Corus has been awarded a contract to modernize a Russian blast furnace, the company has announced.
In a statement, Danieli said the work on Severstal’s No. 5 “Severyanka” furnace will include installation of a Hoogovens cooling and lining system in the bosh, belly and lower stack.
“This design is based on machined copper-plate coolers in combination with high-conductivity graphite, and is the only design with proven capability to achieve campaigns in excess of 20 years regardless of ironmaking process circumstances,” Danieli said.
The revamped furnace will have working volume of 5,055 m3 and a hearth diameter of 15.1 m. Hot metal production will resume in 2023, Danieli said.
