Magnitogorsk iron and steel works became the winner of competition "the Main event 2019 in metallurgy of Russia." This award CMI was awarded the project for the construction of a new sinter plant No. 5, which was launched in July of this year.
the ceremony of awarding the laureates of the contest took place in Moscow in the framework of the official reception on the occasion of the opening of the leading specialized industrial exhibition "Metal-Expo'2019". Winners received honorary diplomas and symbolic trophies, made in the form of a sculpture of the Metallurgist.
Most modern in Russia the sinter plant No. 5 of Magnitogorsk came into operation in July 2019. In the ceremony of its launch was attended by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. The maximum capacity of sinter plant is 5.5 million tonnes of high-quality sinter per year. The sinter plant is equipped with 19-th highly efficient environmental objects.
"This project will significantly reduce negative impact on the environment. The commissioning of the new sinter plant ensures radical improvement of environmental safety. This is part of a large-scale investment strategy of MMK, in which the plant radically updates all the production of the first repartition", – said the Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC "MMK" Victor Rashnikov.
the launch of the new sinter plant has an opportunity to retire obsolete equipment sinter plant No. 4. As a result, dust emissions decreased in two times (by 2.1 thousand tonnes per year) sulphur dioxide – four times (by 3.5 thousand tonnes per year), benzpyrene – in 16 times. In addition, the decreased discharges of pollutants in the circulating water system at 600 tons per year; reduced process waste of sintering plant for placement in shlamokhranilishche No. 2 by 13.75 thousand tons per year.
Contest "the Main event in the metallurgy of Russia" established in 2011 by the organizing Committee of the exhibition "Metal-Expo" with the aim of supporting and promoting innovative projects of metallurgical industry. Every year it celebrates the most important implemented projects with total investments of 100 million euros. Magnitogorsk iron and steel works to the thrice winner of the contest. In 2011 and 2012, he was awarded for the construction and commissioning of the two phases of modern cold rolling complex (mill 2000) in CRM No. 11, 2017 MMK received the award for start-up of the continuous galvanizing line No. 3.
