ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih steel plant (АрселорМіттал Кривий Ріг (Ukranian)), also known as ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rig, Public Joint Stock Company, Kryvorizhstal, and JSC Kryvyi Rih Mining and Metallurgical Integrated Works (predecessor), is a 8000 thousand tonnes per annum (TTPA) blast furnace (BF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF) and open hearth furnace (OHF) steel plant operating in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine.

Location

The map below shows the location of the steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine.

  • Location: Kryvorizhstal St. (Ordzhonikidze), 1, Kryvyi Rih, Dnepropetrovsk region, Ukraine, 50095[1]
  • Coordinates (WGS 84): 47.874411, 33.392993 (exact)

Background

The plant had to suspend operations multiple times since the Russian invasion:[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

  • Blast furnaces idled on March 3, 2022.
  • Restarted blast furnace #6 on April 12, 2022.
  • Shut down mining and processing plants for 3 months: August-October, 2022.
  • Since July, the company has reduced work schedule and salary to two-thirds. As of August 2022, the plant was still suffering from low demand and logistical/transport issues, with a limited work schedule.
  • 1.8 thousand workers from the plant have been mobilized.

The company continues ESG and decarbonization efforts amid war and hopes to return to 50% capacity in 2023 from a drop to 20% in 2022.[11]

As of August 2023, it appears that the plant is operating at partial capacity, around 15-20% after reduced access to water following the Russian offensive on the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant.[12] The plant was expecting to operate at 30-40% with resumed water supply, and will return to 50% with Blast Furnace #6 online, and 100% with the addition of the Blast Furnace #9.[13]

It appears that BF# 8 and BOF #5 are operating after the pause due to the attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant.[14][15][16] It's not mentioned which converter is operating. BOF #5 is presumed to be operating due to its status in 2022.[15]

The plant retired the oldest coking batteries #1 & #2 with the total capacity of 3,000 tons per day in 2022.[17] As of 2023, two newest coking batteries #5 and #6 appear to be operating, while coking batteries #3 and #4 are idle.[18]
