Siemens equips new steel mill at Qatar Steel
The Qatar Steel Company awarded a contract to Siemens VAI Metals Technologies for the supply of process technology for a new steel mill in Mesaieed, Qatar. The order includes melting furnaces, a continuous billet caster and a dedusting plant. The plant systems were originally intended to replace old equipment in the existing steel mill, a project awarded to Siemens in Summer 2010. Because of growing demand for steel in the Gulf region, the new equipment will now be installed in a newly constructed steel mill and is being designed for higher production capacity. As a result of this expansion, the total contract volume has risen to a mid-range double-digit million euro figure. The new mill is designed for an annual billet production output of roughly 1.1 million tons and is scheduled to go into operation during the first quarter of 2013.
