Background

This plant is the headquarters production base of Jiuquan Steel (Group) Co., Ltd., which also goes by JISCO.

The company plans to build a 2070m3 BF in 2022 to replace four 450m3 blast furnace. It is planned to be completed and put into operation in 2024.[1]

June 25, 2024 the company's 2070m3 BF hot blast furnace successful ignition, marking the new BF put into operation officially into the countdown.[2]

In November 2023, the company announced a capacity replacement project involving the decommissioning of three existing 60-ton converters at its steelmaking and rolling plant. The project includes the construction of one KR desulfurization unit, two 100-ton converters, two LF furnaces, one 7-strand billet caster, one single-strand slab caster, and a 4200 mm wide and thick plate production line. Additionally, an 80,000 m³ PRC-S type gas holder and supporting auxiliary facilities will be built. The project is designed to achieve an annual output of 2.3 million tons of qualified continuous casting billets[3]. The groundbreaking ceremony for the project is scheduled for February 28, 2024.[4]
