Furnace – basic production units BSF, all of them in the enterprise 4. The finished product – ferrosilicon, is used in metallurgical industries for melting of steel and sold to companies of the Group Mechel, and the internal and external markets.
the modernization of ore-thermal furnace No. 3 of the old equipment is completely dismantled, installed a new tub with refractory brickwork for smelting of ferroalloys, modernized dosing system for raw materials and implemented an automated control system for technical process: furnace controlled by computer, all the indicators are displayed on the monitors. On the stove alternately to produce ferrosilicon FS65 brands and ФС75.
reconstruction of the affected and scrubbers – have been taken to setochnykh withdrawal of gas in existing gas cleaning device, equipped with bag filters. Due to this increase in production capacity of the furnace will not increase the burden on the environment. In the framework of technical re-equipment also updated the closed system of water recycling, replacing 1200 feet of pipe cooling furnaces. In addition, the company reconstructed the substation and replaced the two transformers.
