NLMK reports that the electric arc furnace that was halted as a result of the transformer incident in early July is expected to be brought back online in December 2011.
The company is estimating the negative impact of the incident on the Long Steel Division’ billets output at 450,000 tonnes in 2011. The unit started third-party billet purchases that are expected to bring the loss in finished long products output to minimum.
According to preliminary estimates, the equipment stoppage may result in 7% decline in the sales revenue for the plant on a standalone basis.
