Duplex RH plant from SMS Mevac in operation at Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
17.04.2014, 16:16Taigang Group International Trade Co., Ltd., and the end user Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., both located in Taiyuan, China, have successfully put on stream the new 80-t Duplex RH-TOP plant (Ruhrstahl Heraeus process) supplied by SMS Mevac, Germany, and its consortium partner SMS Siemag Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
This 80-t RH-TOP plant No. 2 enables the refining of various high-quality steel grades with low levels of hydrogen. Primarily, the plant is being used for the treatment of steel for electric sheet production.
The vacuum is generated by a four-stage steam-ejector vacuum pump with splash control system (RH-SC®) for reducing the splashing of steel.
Within this project, SMS Mevac’s supplies included nearly the com-plete basic engineering, main parts of the detail engineering, the delivery of key components of mechanical, electrical and instrument-tation equipment, the complete level-1 and level-2 automation sys-tems as well as supervision of installation and commissioning.
