In 2012-2014 Zaporizhstal invested 2.7 billion UAH in the works development. In particular, in 2012 the company invested around 486 million UAH into production capacity modernization, with 553 million in 2013 and 1.61 billion on 2014. This year Zaporizhstal intends to overcome the last year level.
The works main projects are sintering machine #1 reconstruction, construction of gas-purifying systems at sintering machines ##2-6, a massive overhaul of blast furnace #4, and the construction of the new line of hydrochloric acid etching.
When the gas-purifying systems are assembled Zaporizhstal pollution would decrease by 45%. Modernization of all sintering machine gas-purifying systems would cost over 845 million UAH. (Ukrainian metal)
