Russian steelmaker NLMK has announced that it is launching an important environmental project at its Lipetsk site. The project involves the reconstruction of dedusting systems at blast furnace No.6, which has an annual output capacity of 3.2 million mt of pig iron per year.
The project will provide a more than six-fold reduction in dust emissions from the furnace, bringing down overall dust emissions from Novolipetsk blast furnace operations by more than 20 percent.
