DMZ performed important repairs in the carbon dioxide workshop

Work was also performed in the trapping workshop

The Dnipro Metallurgical Plant (DMZ), part of the DCH Steel Group, performed important repairs in the carbon dioxide workshop and the capture workshop. This is stated in the corporate newspaper of the company.

«This summer, important repairs were carried out in the carbon coke workshop in the extinguishing pump towers, and a new scraper conveyor was installed in the capture workshop,» the company notes.

Work was completed in the current water circulation tower of extinguishing towers No. 1 and No. 2, which lasted more than a month. Three new T-2000 pumps and one pump after overhaul were installed here. They also carried out an audit and repair of shutoff valves and almost completely replaced the piping of the valves. Replacement of pumps and storage facilities will ensure stable coke quenching, protect equipment from gusts and leaks.

A new scraper conveyor with a length of 22 m was built in the sulfate department of the ZMON capture shop, which will deliver sulfate from centrifuges to the warehouse.

In January-June 2024, the DMZ reduced rolled products production by 40.5% compared to the same period in 2023 – up to 33.8 thousand tons, and coke output increased by 1.1%, to 143.5 thousand tons.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2023, the DMZ increased its production of rolled steel by 86.2% compared to 2022 – up to 105.6 thousand tons. The production of metallurgical coke at the enterprise over the past year increased by 38.5% compared to 2022 – up to 292.7 thousand tons.

Last year, DMZ rolling shops focused on the manufacture of a mine rack, mine rails, small volumes of channels and corners for the Ukrainian market. In addition, the company resumed the production of profiles according to European standards.

Dnipro Metallurgical Plant is one of the largest steel enterprises in Ukraine. It is part of DCH Steel Group. DMZ produces the largest range of channels and corners in Ukraine. Currently, the company is the only domestic manufacturer of special profiles for engineering and mining.
