The new BF No 3 is expected to be commissioned in July 2011 and will allow the company to conduct a planned modernization of its BF No. 1.
Mr. Eugen Dubogryz, BG Capital analyst said, “The unit’s commissioning will boost Yenakievo’s annual pig iron production capacity to 3.1 million tons from the current 2.5 million tons and the timeline reflects our expectation that the No 3 unit’s construction will be completed in H2 2011, with maximum capacity reached in early 2012. The small postponement of the unit launch is likely the result of technical upgrades aimed at decreasing marginal coke use and at diversifying the unit’s capacities to use different types of iron ore products.” (SteelOrbis)
