Background

The company's main production equipment is two 450m3 blast furnaces and a 110-ton basic oxygen furnace. The project output is 600,000 tons of stainless steel per year. The blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnace will be replaced with one 70-ton electric furnace and one 75-ton electric furnace.[1]The 110-ton converter was removed in June 2018.[2]
