Russian steelmaker NLMK Group has announced that it has completed hot testing of its new crushing and screening unit for the processing of steelmaking slag at its Lipetsk production site. The project will double the amount of scrap, or metal inclusions, extracted from waste and returned to the production process. Capital expenditure for the project totaled around RUB 500 million ($7.92 million).
 
The decision to build the plant was made on the basis of the company's plans to improve operational efficiency and to reduce the burden on the environment. The new unit will process 2.4 million mt of slag per year, replacing an obsolete unit, which processed 1.7 million mt of slag per year.
