The Ukrainian flat steel producer Ilyich Iron and Steel Works of Mariupol (Ilyich), a part of the steel and rolled products division of the Ukrainian mining and steel producing group Metinvest, has said that in 2010 it reduced its average coke consumption per one metric ton of pig iron production by 3.5 percent year on year to 502 kg, with a further reduction to 490 kg coke/mt of pig iron in December.
Accordingly, such results are considered to be the best among the other steel producers which are not equipped with pulverized coal injection (PCI) facilities.
Since the beginning of the current year for each metric ton of pig iron produced, Ilyich has consumed 484 kg of coke, 82 cubic meters of natural gas and 40 cubic meters of oxygen. The plant's average daily production of pig iron amounts to 14,410 mt.
As SteelOrbis previously reported, from late February this year Ilyich plans to resume work on the construction of its PCI facility for blast furnaces, which is being supplied by China National Mineral Co. Ltd, in line with the contract concluded on May 18, 2006.
