Germany-based plantmaker SMS Group has announced that it will supply a new 290-ton ladle furnace for ArcelorMittal Temirtau, the largest metallurgical enterprise in Kazakhstan. The scope of supply will comprise the engineering, mechanical and electrical equipment and supervision of erection and commissioning of the new ladle furnace, gas cleaning plant, additives handling system and water treatment plant. Commissioning of the new ladle furnace is scheduled for the second quarter of 2018.
