Background

The electric steel-smelting shop Iron Ozone 32 is part of the Pervouralsky Pipe Plant (also known as Pervouralsk New Pipe Plant, PNTZ). The construction of the Iron Ozone 32 began in 2007, and in 2010 the workshop was launched and the first steel smelting took place.

Iron Ozone 32 supplies billet to ChelPipe Electric Steel (CHTPZ) (in Chelyabinsk) and the Pervouralsk Pipe Plant, and two other ChelPipe Group companies, for further processing to large diameter pipes.

In 2021, an energy complex was commissioned to improve the reliability of power supply at the plant. It includes a 14.3 MW modular thermal power station and a 16.8 MW peak water heating boiler. The boiler is designed to increase heating network temperatures during extreme cold. Operating alongside the external grid, the energy complex generates one-third of the plant's electricity needs and provides heat to over 40% of the facility's consumers.

In 2022, digitization and automatization of the EAF production process and upgrade of the equipment were carried out at Iron Ozone 32.
