Rossiyanka has produced 10 million tons of cast iron

The generation-next blast furnace Rossiyanka has produced 10 million tons of cast iron. It’s the only blast furnace built in the post-Soviet era within the last 25 years. Rossiyanka is the most important project of the Program of the Technical Re-equipping of NLMK. The blast furnace with an annual capacity of 4.2 million tons of cast iron a year was built with the use of technical innovations of the leading Russian and foreign engineering companies. They participated in design, construction and equipment supplies 40 Russian and 30 foreign entities. Investment to the project were over 43 billion rubles.

The technological process at Rossiyanka is organized with the use of the best nature-protection and resource-effective technologies, high-effective systems of aspiration and self-contained water circulation cycle. Technical decisions enable ut to reduce the gross emission to the atmosphere by over 200 times in comparison to the previous active blast furnaces. In particular, blast furnace gas of Rossiyanka is used as secondary raw materials for power generation at the new utilization TEC with capacity of 150 MW.
