Luxembourg-based plantmaker Paul Wurth has announced that Kaohsiung, Taiwan-based China Steel Corporation (CSC) has awarded the Paul Wurth Group an order for engineering and supply of two new slag granulation systems with INBA dewatering technology for CSC's blast furnace No. 4 at the Kaohsiung steel works.
The new systems will be commissioned in the beginning of 2013, along with the revamped blast furnace No. 4 which will produce 3.0 million mt of hot metal annually. Each INBA plant is designed for processing a maximum slag flow rate of 10 mt/min. This is the most advanced technology in terms of reducing the environmental impact from the granulation process.
By 2013, all six blast furnaces in Taiwan will be using Paul Wurth's granulation and dewatering technology for producing blast furnace slag for the cement and construction industry.
