Siemens Metals Technologies will supply another Corex C-3000 plant to the China's Shanghai-based steel producer Baosteel's subsidiary Pudong Iron and Steel Co. Ltd.
The order was received within seven weeks following the successful start-up of the first Corex C-3000 plant at Baosteel's premises.
In order to increase the output of molten iron to approximately three million tons per year at the Luojing site in Shanghai, Baosteel decided to install a second Corex C-3000 facility next to existing facility. The new plant will also have a nominal production capacity of 1.5 million metric tons of molten iron per annum.
The plant start-up is scheduled for mid-2010.
