Russian steel producer NLMK Group has announced that it has begun reconstruction of the chemical shop at Coke and Chemical Operations at its Lipetsk production site. The reconstruction covers the optimization of the setup of the chemical shop, improvement of a number of process schemes and installation of the latest equipment.

According to the statement, the project will improve coke gas cleaning efficiency by 2017, halve air emissions from the chemical shop, provide a 10 percent increase in chemical product output from coke gas processing, and increase the productivity in the new shop to 140,000 m³ of coke gas per hour.

“The new facility will not only boost chemical product volumes offered to external clients, it will also halve the shop’s hazardous air emissions. We plan to complete the reconstruction by the second half of 2016,” stated Konstantin Lagutin, NLMK’s vice president for investment projects.
