Outotec to Supply Iron Ore Pelletizing Technology for Shougang Jingtang
04/14/2008 - Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel contracts Outotec for the delivery of environmentally sound technology for Shougang's iron ore pelletizing plant to be built in Caofeidan, China.
Shougang Jingtang United Iron & Steel Co. Ltd has contracted Outotec for the delivery of new environmentally sound technology for Shougang's iron ore pelletizing plant to be built in Caofeidan, China. The contract value is approximately EUR 29 million.
The pelletizing plant will use Outotec's modern, environmentally sound traveling grate technology. Outotec's scope of delivery covers the basic and detail engineering, supply of proprietary equipment, instrumentation and control systems, supervisory services as well as technical training. Part of Outotec's services and supplies will be of Chinese origin.
At the heart of the plant is Outotec's pellet indurating furnace, which has a grate area of 505 m². The plant, which will be the first larger-size plant in China using modern traveling grate technology, will treat 4 million tonnes of iron ore annually. Pellet production estimated to start at the end of 2009.
"This order from Shougang Jingtang demonstrates the competitiveness of Outotec's clean technologies", said Tapani Järvinen, President and CEO of Outotec. “Investing in latest technology brings several benefits, for example better recoveries or larger output, lower energy and water consumption, smaller emissions, and improved working conditions. Today, these are decisive factors in industrial investments in China.”
Shougang Jingtang is a joint venture between the Shougang Group and Tangshan Iron and Steel Co. The pelletizing plant is part of Shougang's plan to relocate its operations from Beijing to Caofeidan.
