China: Hebei Zongheng Group Tangshan Fengnan Iron & Steel has ordered Inba slag granulation and dewatering equipment as part of a new 12Mt/yr iron plant. Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation (CERI), the general contractor, has signed two contracts with Paul Wurth for engineering and supply of four sets of Central Feed Bell Less Top charging systems as well as slag-related equipment for the four blast furnaces at the new plant. The Inba order covers eight dewatering drum units under hot water system, which is quite commonly adopted by local customers.

All four blast furnaces of Tangshan Fengnan’s new plant are scheduled to be commissioned in 2018. A fifth blast furnace may be built after the hot commissioning of the first four furnaces.

Russia: Severstal has ordered four Inba slag granulation plants with dynamic dewatering of the slag sand from Paul Wurth as part of a contract for design and supply of technology and equipment for the reline of Blast Furnace No. 5 ‘Severyanka’ at Cherepovets Metallurgical Plant. Severstal’s installations will be the first use of this technology in Russia.

“The fifth blast furnace has been operating for over 14 years and this refurbishment project is expected to more than double its lifespan," said Alexander Shevelev, chief executive officer of Severstal.

The order also includes a Bell Less Top charging system with a hopper volume of 80m3 and a chute transmission gearbox with a pressurised cooling system. The blast furnace top gas will be cleaned by a Paul Wurth two-stage top gas cleaning plant. Auxiliary facilities at the plant will be built in 2018 and 2019 and the main equipment will be installed in 2020.
