During the first halfyear of the 2013
Integrated Iron and Steel Works "Zaporizhstal" reduced energy
consumption of manufactured steel product by 6,4%.
There is the program of the Metinvest Group at
Zaporizhstal which is oriented on realization energy-efficient process and
implementation of total control raw material consumption and energy resources
across all levels of manufacture. Improvement of index on energy consumption of
manufactured steel product in the first half of the 2013 is related to the
implementation set of measures on detection of energy losses and development
reduction loses of cold air blast, in transit from heat and power plant to the
blast furnace plant; heating mode optimization across the zones of holding
furnaces; energy saving by means of setting the optimum mode of the rolling
shops equipment.
Energy efficiency incensement and rational use of
energy resources are among the priority tasks of Zaporizhstal. The steel plant
realizes massive investment programs, which are directed to incense energy
efficiency of the production.
Mr. Rostislav Shurma, CEO of Zaporizhstal, said
that as a result, in June 2013, consumption of natural gas in steelmaking was
reduced to 29 million per ton of founded steel, in comparison with June 2012,
when it was 43,39 million per ton.
