Poltava Mining intends to reconstruct the IPC of the pellet production shop

The Poltava Mining and Processing Plant (Poltava Mining), which is part of the Ferrexpo group, plans to reconstruct the integral property complex (IPC) of the pellet production shop. This is evidenced by data of Unified Register for Environmental Impact Assessment.

Thus, the company intends to carry out the reconstruction of the IPC of the pellet production shop (PPS) in the part of the filtering and averaging building of the concentrate “1, A and No. 2, B”.

The timing of the work and the amount of investment are not specified.

Earlier, Poltava Mining intended to build a flue gas cleaning system for technological line No. 4 of the pellet production shop. In addition, the plant plans to build a new building for the production of lime mortar in the pellet production workshop.

As GMK Center reported earlier, in 2020 Poltava Mining announced the development of a project to increase annual output to 24 million tons within five to eight years. The conceptual design showed that the company can achieve such a result with no replacement of the main equipment, using existing capacities.

Ferrexpo is a Swiss iron ore company with assets in Ukraine. Produces and exports high quality iron ore pellets for steel production. The Group is the largest producer and exporter of pellets in the post-Soviet space. Its current assets are Poltava and Yeristovsky Mining and Processing Plants.

In 2021 Ferrexpo kept the output of commercial pellets at the level of 2020 – 11.2 million tons.
