Tangshan Wenfeng Special Steel Co Ltd (唐山文丰山川轮毂有限公司, 唐山文丰特钢有限公司), also known as Tangshan Wenfeng Shanchuan Wheel Co., Ltd., is a steel plant in Tangshan, Hebei, China that operates electric arc furnace (EAF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF), and blast furnace (BF) technology.
Location The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Tangshan, Hebei, China:
Location: Caofeidian Equipment Manufacturing Park, Tangshan City, Hebei ProvinceCoordinates (WGS 84 ): 39.146541, 118.432261 (exact)Background In 2022, the company comprehensively managed the flue gas from the 1st and 2nd hot blast stoves. After the treatment, the NOx concentration range of the waste gas from the 1st and 2nd blast furnaces' hot blast stoves was maintained between 9-16 mg/m³, consistently controlled below 50 mg/m³, achieving significant environmental and economic benefits. [ 1]
The construction project for the high-performance 1450mm hot-rolled steel strip production line (located in the Caofeidian area) of the company commences new construction in 2023.[ 2]
