HKM issues Primetals Technologies with final acceptance for modernized LD (BOF) exchangeable vessel converter plant

摘要

In March, Huttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH (HKM) gave Primetals Technologies the final acceptance for the modernized LD (BOF) converter no. 2 in its Duisburg, Germany plant. The project involved equipping the converter plant with a new trunnion ring and new suspension. The tilting drive was also modernized. These measures will help to lengthen the life of the plant and increase its availability. The project was performed in a consortium with Buchinger Anlagen-Stahl-Rohrbau GmbH. The converter has been in hot working since the middle of November 2016.
