Metalloinvest, a leading manufacturer and supplier of iron ore products and hot briquetted iron (HBI) on the world market, one of the regional producers of high-quality steel, has introduced Derrick® Fine Screening Technology at Mikhailovsky GOK, aimed at improving the quality of iron ore concentrate .

The first stage of the technology was put into operation at the MGOK Concentrator at a ceremony with the participation of Nazim Efendiev, First Deputy General Director - Commercial Director of Metalloinvest Management Company, Mitchell J. Derrick, Chief Executive Officer and President of Derrick Corporation - the world leader in the production of fine screening equipment, Miron Boris, General Director of Trane Technikk CJSC (exclusive representative of Derrick Corporation in Russia and the CIS), Sergei Kretov, Managing Director of Mikhailovsky GOK and Mikhail Aksenov, Chairman of the Committee for Industry, Trade and Development of Small entrepreneurship of the Kursk region.

“The introduction of fine screening technology is the most important element of a comprehensive program to improve the quality of iron ore products at Mikhailovsky GOK,” Nazim Efendiev said. - Improving the quality of the concentrate will enable the plant to produce premium quality pellets at the level of the best world standards. MGOK's products will enter the world's top league, and new sales markets will open up for them. The plant will also reduce its environmental impact and increase production efficiency. ”

“ Our partnership with Metalloinvest began in 2005, and since then we have worked together at Mikhailovsky and Lebedinsky GOKs to ensure significant efficiency gains in the production of high-quality iron ore concentrate using Derrick's five-deck StackSizer® screens. I am delighted that we are developing this important alliance with Metalloinvest's decision to use the recently proposed 8-deck Derrick SuperStack® high frequency screens at Mikhailovsky GOK. This innovative solution is more than twice as productive as previous equipment; it will significantly reduce both initial installation costs and ongoing operating and maintenance costs, ”said Mitchell J. Derrick.

Miron Borys stated:“ We at Tran Technikk are very proud to have contributed successful cooperation between Metalloinvest and Derrick Corporation - from the development of a technological solution for Lebedinsky and Mikhailovsky GOKs and to putting Derrick screens into operation, ensuring their operation in accordance with the design assignment, and how the best world-class equipment of Derrick Corporation should operate at the enterprises of the leading iron ore company Metallinvest.

At the first stage of the project, the Derrick® Fine Screening Technology has been implemented in four technological sections of the Concentrating Plant. In a short time, in just one year, the design, delivery and installation of equipment, commissioning and commissioning were completed. The budget for the first stage amounted to more than 1.2 billion rubles.

Following the implementation of the first stage in 2020, more than 3.7 million tons of concentrate with an iron content increased to 67% from 65 , 1%.

At the second stage of the project, which was launched in August 2019, a new concentrate enrichment building will be built using highly efficient Derrick equipment. According to the results of stage 2 in 2022, the production of high-quality concentrate with an iron content of 68.7% will amount to 16.9 million tonnes. Construction of a new enrichment building and modernization of production will allow involving refractory ores with a higher iron content in processing, reducing the cost of stripping and production costs.

The forecasted budget of the second stage is more than 12 billion rubles.
