United States Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt has said that Metinvest in Mariupol is the example of extraordinary resilience of Ukrainian people
According to the press release, the largest environmental project in Ukraine, sinter plant modernization, was demonstrated to the U.S. diplomat during his visit to the Mariupol Ilyich Iron and Steel Works. Pyatt was made aware of the role of Metinvest in the Ukrainian economy, and other investment projects of Metinvest Group, and its social partnership programs in Mariupol and other cities of the company’s presence.
Metinvest Group’s CEO Yuriy Ryzhenkov, general director of Ilyich-Stal Yuriy Zinchenko and general director of Azovstal Iron and Steel Works Enver Tskitishvili attended the meeting with Pyatt.
According to Zinchenko, major overhaul of two sinter machines was completed with installation of modern gas cleaning equipment. In 2017, Metinvest plans to build a desulphurization system and install bag filters on the first building of the sinter plant. After the reconstruction, the sinter plant will meet the best European and international emission standards – max 30 mg/m3. (Interfax.com.ua/Ukrainian metal)
