Siemens starts up second Corex C-3000 plant at Baosteel, China –
Continued commitment to environmentally friendly ironmaking technology
At the end of March 2011, the Corex C-3000 Module 02, installed with a nominal production capacity of 1.5 million tons of hot metal per year, was started up at the steelworks of Shanghai Baosteel Pudong Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. (Baosteel) in Luojing, near Shanghai, China. The new plant incorporates all of the experience acquired from the operation of the first Siemens VAI-supplied Corex C-3000 Module 01 at the same site, which commenced operation in November 2007. Baosteel's decision to install a second Corex plant underlines the company's commitment to cost-effective and environmentally friendly iron production that fully meets the strict emission regulations imposed by the Shanghai municipal government.
