China Steel Corporation to install a new steam jet pump from SMS Mevac

摘要

Taiwanese steel producer China Steel Corporation (CSC) has awarded SMS Mevac, an SMS group company, the order to revamp its oldest RH unit (Ruhrstahl Heraeus) at the No. 1 steel works in Kaoshiung. SMS Mevac will equip the RH unit with a new, state-of-the-art four-stage steam jet vacuum pump. In 1982, the No. 1 RH facility (160 tonnes) had been commissioned and, in 1990, SMS Mevac had modernised it in a record time of only 73 days. CSC uses the facility for hydrogen degassing in the production of high-grade heavy plate.
