New Gas Purification System for Electrical Steel Smelting Launched at Volzhsky Pipe Plant

The reconstruction of the gas purification system for electric steel smelting at Volzhsky Pipe Plant is one of TMK’s most important investment projects. Quad Engineering of Canada, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial gas purification systems, engineered and supplied the equipment for the gas purification system. The gas conduits, electrical equipment, automation gear and water systems were assembled by Montazhspetsstroy, which acted as general contractor.

The need to reconstruct the gas purification system was due to the increased capacity of the electric smelting furnace after its modernization in 2005, as well as the intensification of the technological process.

The governor of Volgograd Oblast Nikolai Maksyuta congratulated the employees of Volzhsky Pipe Plant on the launch of the new modern gas purification system. Speaking at a gala celebration to mark the event, the governor noted TMK’s significant contribution to the increased investment attractiveness of the region and to preserving its natural environment. In the words of TMK General Director Konstantin Semerikov, TMK’s ecological investments reflect the company’s commitment to the principles of sustainable development and to ensuring the conformity of the company’s ecological management system with international standards.
