on October 23-24 2019, was held the conference "Best available techniques in blast furnaces". The conference was organized by the Association "Russian Steel", the International Union of blast furnace and the journal "Metals of Eurasia" with the support of the Ministry of industry and trade. A key objective of the conference was the exchange of best practices and to facilitate marker indicators contained in the information-technical manuals on best available technologies. Participation the conference was attended by representatives of Ministry of industry and trade of Russia, the largest Russian and foreign metallurgical companies, equipment suppliers, etc.
the conference Program includes discussion of the implementation of best available technologies (BAT) and compliance with environmental requirements of national legislation in the field of environmental protection. The participants presented the latest developments and technological solutions in the sintering and blast furnace stages, as well as best practices of leading domestic and foreign enterprises. The conference ended with a visit to the production site the latest sinter plant No. 5 of PJSC "MMK" in the launching ceremony which was attended by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
In the opening session on the assessment consoildate production from the point of view of environmental requirements and global competitiveness, a report was made by the Executive Director of the Association of Russian Steel, Alexey sentjurin. In his report on the main trends in consoildation production marked a significant progress of ferrous metallurgy of Russia in achieving environmental compliance and changes in Russia's position in the world rankings. Investment industry to achieve BAT requirements $ 2.4 trillion. RUB.
Alex Senturin said that the most effective measures to reduce negative impacts on the environment are the use of the latest technological solutions and equipment for construction and modernization.
currently, the level of water recycling in the steel industry is 93 %, discharge into water bodies less than 3 %; emissions account for 5% of the total in Russia. This was achieved due to implementation of BAT. These activities allowed not only to replace obsolete equipment, but also reduce emissions and increase the profitability of the industry. Thanks to the active investment policy of the companies-members of the Association was the transition to high-tech methods of steel production.
the preservation of the competitiveness of ferrous metallurgy of Russia through the introduction of the best world technologies and equipment, including in the blast furnace and sinter production is the current agenda of enterprises-members of Association "Russian Steel" said Alexey Senturin, I conclude my report.

***
Association of ferrous metallurgy enterprises "Russian Steel" brings together the largest producers of steel products in Russia. The Association was founded in 2001 by leading metallurgical companies in Russia to coordinate efforts to protect the interests of the Russian metallurgists and the implementation of joint projects of non-commercial nature. The member companies of the Association produce 98% of Russian iron, about 90% of Russian steel and rolled about 60% of the pipes, as well as a significant proportion of raw materials for metallurgical industry.
members of the Association at present are: OOO "EvrazHolding", JSC "NLMK", JSC "MMK", JSC "OEMK" (LLC management company "metalloinvest"), JSC "Mechel", JSC "OMK", JSC "Severstal", JSC "TMK" and OOO UK "IMH".
