Mexican steelmaker the first to employ Siemens´ new Simetal EAF Quantum furnace:
Tyasa has ordered a complete compact steelmaking plant

Siemens VAI Metals Technologies has received an order from Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V. (Tyasa), a Mexican steelmaker, to supply a new compact steelmaking plant with a capacity of 1.2 million tons of steel per annum for its Ixtaczoquitlan site. The value of this order lies in the mid double-digit million euro range. The heart of the plant is a Simetal EAF Quantum electric arc furnace. This new furnace design reduces the specific conversion cost for the electric production of steel by around 20 percent. The project also involves the provision of secondary steelmaking facilities and a combination continuous caster. It is scheduled to be completed by the middle of 2013.
