Ovako Smedjebacken steel plant, also known as SmeBox, is a 1010 thousand tonnes per annum (TTPA) electric arc furnace (EAF) steel plant operating in Smedjebacken, Dalarna, Sweden.
Location
The map below shows the location of the steel plant in Smedjebacken, Dalarna, Sweden.
Background
Steel from Ovako Smedjebacken is processed into finished products at Ovako Boxholm.[2]
Production Equipment
The EAF at Ovako Smedjebacken steel plant started in 1968, but oldest parts of metallurgy date back to 1631.[3]
Hydrogen
Ovako Smedjebacken is the first steel plant to use hydrogen instead of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in a production setting to heat steel before rolling.[4]
