Russian steelmaker NLMK Group has announced that it has put its blast furnace No. 6 back into operation after a scheduled overhaul at its main production site in Lipetsk. NLMK stated that the overhaul enables uninterrupted operation of the blast furnace and excellent product quality for the long term. It also increases the maximum output of the furnace by seven percent, from 2.9 million mt to 3.1 million mt per year, while cutting costs.

According to the company’s statement, a new gas treatment system has also been introduced at blast furnace No. 6, which provides a five-fold increase in the efficiency of blast furnace gas treatment.
