The Italian Embassy in Islamabad hosted the signing ceremony of the contract for the meltshop enhancement project between Agha Steel Industries, Pakistan and Danieli, Italy.
The project includes the complete reconstruction of the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and a new fume treatment plant.
Agha Steel Industries is the only private steelmaker running a minimill in Pakistan, and from 2011 has reached a very important position in a market with a growing demand for quality construction steel.
The targets of the project are the reduction of the electrical consumption and tap-to-tap time, in order to increase productivity at a lower production cost.This will be achieved with the modernization of the EAF which will feature the installation of a set of technological packages such Q-Reg+ and ISAC.Q-Reg+ is a top performing electrode regulator integrating a slag foaming management system, while the ISAC Integrated Scrap Automatic Charging system will allow Agha Steel to reduce the number of buckets charged in the EAF from three to one.A new chemical package will allow a more efficient utilization of the chemical energy in the furnace.
Agha Steel, committed to an environmental friendly steelmaking, will operate a new Danieli Environment fume dedusting system.
