The highest quarterly production records were recorded during the history of Mobarake steel operation

Gholamreza Salimi, Vice President of Operation of Mobarakeh Steel stated: Comparing the production performance of Mobarakeh Steel in the autumn quarter of 1402 in different sectors indicates that the production of sponge iron in the direct recovery modules of Mobarakeh Steel in the fall of 1401 was one million and 743 thousand tons and in the same period In 1402, with 3.9% growth, it has increased to one million and 812 thousand tons. He said: Also, the production of molten steel in Mobarakeh steelmaking unit was 2 million 167 thousand tons in the fall quarter of last year and increased to 2 million 346 thousand tons in the fall quarter of this year with 8.2% growth.

8.4% growth of crude steel production in Mobarakeh Steel

Also, the production of raw steel in Mobarakeh steel during the autumn quarter of 1402 has increased by 8.4% to 2 million and 304 thousand tons; Meanwhile, in the same period of 1401, the crude steel production rate of Mobarakeh Steel was 2 million and 126 thousand tons.

7.5% growth in production in Saba Steel

In the continuation of his speech, he pointed to the good performance of the colleagues in the Saba Steel Complex and clarified: the amount of production in the fall quarter of the direct revitalization unit of the Saba Steel Complex indicates that in the fall quarter of 1402, there was a 1.9% growth compared to the same period of the previous year. (354 thousand tons) 361 thousand tons of sponge iron have been produced. Also, the amount of hot coil produced in the fall quarter of this year by Saba Steel was 404 thousand tons and in the fall quarter of the previous year it was 376 thousand tons, which has grown by 7.5%.

Salimi said: Obtaining this amount of production can be pondered and investigated from different aspects: The first point is that this seasonal record was the highest record compared to previous years. The second point is that with this brilliant performance, we have experienced production growth and realization exceeding the nominal capacity of various production areas in the third quarter from about 103 to 105 percent. The third point is that this year's production of Mobarakeh steel has faced considerable growth since the beginning of this year compared to the same period last year, and the fourth point is the qualitative growth of Mobarakeh steel products, which we have achieved very good records in this field. As far as the quality efficiency of the company has reached 92.5% in the third quarter, which is the highest quality record of the products in the entire years of operation.

Referring to the importance of the qualitative growth of the company's products, he said: The focus and emphasis of the senior management of the organization during the last one or two years has been on the qualitative growth and variety of products with higher added value, as well as the reduction of waste and the increase of production efficiency, which, especially in the third quarter of the year, has been aimed at quantitative and We have achieved higher quality than the drawn program.

Speaking about how these valuable records were obtained, Salimi said: We knew from the beginning of this year that we would face more restrictions than previous years in the field of energy, both electricity and gas; Therefore, with purposeful and intelligent planning, we tried to formulate and implement production plans when restrictions are reduced and repair plans when energy restrictions are aggravated, so that the company's annual goals are realized in the best possible way.

The next thing worth pondering in this context is that in previous years, we entered the third quarter with more than 150,000 to 200,000 tons of slab reserves; Because the electricity restrictions only intensified during the two months of July and August, and in September we were able to partially compensate for the drop in production caused by the energy restrictions, and if the gas restrictions in the cold seasons of the year led to a decrease in production, with the storage that had been done, the restrictions We did not feel the energy and production decrease; But this year, unfortunately, the electricity restriction continued until the end of September and practically reduced the company's Takthal reserve to zero. But thanks to the grace of God and the efforts of colleagues, conditions were finally created so that the production lines would not be stopped.

This year, from the beginning of December, both in terms of time and volume, we faced a 50% limit

He stated: This year's gas restriction had a fundamental difference from previous years, and that was that it was applied earlier. This means that, unlike previous years, when electricity restrictions were first announced and applied after a few days; Unfortunately, this year it was applied from the beginning of December and with a larger volume than ever. While the restrictions started with 10 to 20 percent in previous years and reached 50 to 60 percent in the peak of winter; But unfortunately, this year, since the beginning of December, both in terms of time and volume, we faced a 50% limit and we lost several regeneration modules at once, which fortunately we compensated with the good storage that was predicted.

In this regard, the vice president of Mobarakeh Steel added: All these achievements were the will of the Almighty God, which we have felt very well in many stages. The second reason for achieving these successes is the hard work of colleagues in all operational support departments and headquarters of Mobarakeh Steel, which made it possible to achieve these honors. Therefore, we sincerely thank all the dear ones in all the mentioned departments and are proud of them.

Salimi pointed out: In completing these measures, we should also appreciate the unreserved and intelligent support of the company's management, who supported and supported the realization of the production goals with their presence in the production lines and in other words, with their pen and steps, and honestly accompanied and They were a source of encouragement and operationalized the sense of support by injecting hope and vitality into the organization. The noteworthy point in this section is that in the shadow of these achievements, not only tons of hope and vitality have been injected into the family of Mubarakeh Steel, but also into the society.

We are facing severe gas restrictions

He emphasized: Although the organization is currently facing severe gas restrictions, we were not and are not without a plan in this situation. As far as relying on previous experiences, we have planned to carry out major repairs of regeneration modules on such days and prepare ourselves for maximum production and achieving proud records in the early months of the following year. In addition, in the downstream of the two ironmaking and steelmaking areas, the management and employees of the hot and cold rolling area have fully adapted themselves to the conditions of the downstream units and took action to carry out repairs when the two steelmaking and ironmaking units are facing energy constraints and They made agile for maximum production at the right times;To the extent that the major repairs of hot rolling preheat furnaces are done simultaneously with energy restrictions in direct regeneration units in winter, and in other words, as long as steelmaking has the highest production rate, hot rolling also plans and operates the highest production rate in this area.

Renovation of parts of Badr cold rolling mill was carried out in summer and November

Calling the conditions of cold rolling different in the company's production process, he said: Fortunately, the renovation of many cold rolling sections as one of the company's strategic lines was successfully carried out in two phases, in summer and November, and we were able to repair it in December due to the good repairs that were done. have a very good production; Meanwhile, in the cold rolling area, in addition to the quantitative growth, fortunately, we also see the qualitative growth of the products compared to the same period last year.
In general, it should be said that all the production areas of Mobarakeh steel were in ideal conditions both quantitatively and qualitatively during the autumn quarter and were able to produce beyond the desired goals and their nominal capacity, which we hope after the agility of these parts in the time of winter energy restrictions. to provide the conditions for maximum production and achieving new records in the first quarter of next year.
