Luxembourg-based plantmaker Paul Wurth has announced that it will reconstruct and modernize the coking plant at the Gijon works of Spanish steel mill ArcelorMittal Asturias, subsidiary of global steel giant ArcelorMittal. The coking plant has been out of operation since 2013. The restart of the plant is scheduled for the end of 2019 and it will produce the coke needed for the operation of the company’s two local blast furnaces.
In the context of the project, Paul Wurth will supply key equipment, erect and commission supervision services for the rebuilding of two coke oven batteries and it will also modernize the adjacent by-product plants. In addition, Paul Wurth will carry out the turnkey installation of a Claus plant for sulfur removal and a strong water plant to ensure compliance with the strictest environmental requirements.
