  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 36.488866, 103.922 (exact)

Background

The company’s 616m3 BF and 40-ton BOF were constructed first and then underwent capacity replacement, which is in violation of regulations.[1]

According to the announcement of the capacity replacement plan for the blast furnace upgrade and renovation project in October 2022, the company plans to build a 1250m3 BF (with a production capacity of 1.15 million tons), and phase out the existing 616m3 BF, which is expected to be put into operation in December 2024.[2]
