Kryvyi Rih, September 20, 2018 г. PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih has constructed new blast-furnace gas pipeline with a length of more than one kilometer at the cost of more than 134 MUAH. Now, pre-commissioning and adjustment works are at the final stage, as well as ownership transferring, after that, the gas pipeline will be commissioned.

New gas pipeline was laid from Blast Furnace No.9, the biggest one at the plant, to a gas distribution network, by means of which the shops of the plant receive BF gas. The gas pipeline has been mounted on a new single-stage trestle, which has been erected on high supports allowing for motor vehicles passing while going through on-site motor and rail roads. The new gas pipeline will allow to minimize the risks of emergency situations while its operation and to ensure safe and failure-free gas supply to production assets.

This year, a compressed air pipeline has been upgraded at the Oxygen Plant of PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih. As a result of this project, the average monthly losses of compressed air, while its transportation to BF Shop No.2 reduced by half. Electric power consumption, while compressed air generation at the Air Separation Units, greatly reduced that in its turn leads to the cost reduction of the plant products.

Moreover, currently PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih is finishing the construction of double-deck BF gas collecting main of Blast Furnaces Nos.7, 8 at the cost of more than 62 MUAH. The next year it is planned to lay state-of-the-art pipelines for blast-furnace and coke-oven gases from the mentioned collecting main to HPP-2. Due to new facilities, the plant will be able to decommission outdated gas pipeline branches with the length of more than 1,6 kilometers that will allow increasing energy efficiency and environmental safety of production process. Accordingly, in 2019 PJSC ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih will continue to upgrade strategic energy infrastructure of the plant.
