   Dutch OM Investigating Pollution at Tata Steel IJmuiden Plant
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   30 Nov, 2022, 6:08 am
   
   NL Times reported that Dutch Public Prosecution Service Openbaar Ministerie and a team of experts are investigating the Tata Steel site in IJmuiden. The Public Prosecution Service said the visit on Tuesday was to gain more insight into the steel production process, specifically into the operation of the coke and gas factories. The OM will decide whether or not to actually prosecute based on the investigation that is currently underway.
   
   OM said “The main question is whether Tata Steel can be blamed for deliberately and unlawfully emitting harmful substances into the air, soil, and surface water with a possible risk to public health. The visit to the factory complex contributes to the discovery of the truth. The investigation team looks with its own eyes at the production processes and the operation of certain factories within the Tata Steel institution.”
   
   The OM does not know how long this investigation will take.
   
   Tata Steel said in a short response that it fully cooperates with the investigation.
   
   In February, officials said they would investigate Tata and Harsco Metals Holland over whether they intentionally and unlawfully introduced hazardous substances into the soil, air or surface water after lawyer Ms Benedicte Ficq had filed charges on behalf of locals. According to Ms Ficq and about 1,100 people and organizations, Tata Steel endangers the health of people in the area.
   
   The Ministry of Justice is receiving help from the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate the DCMR Environmental Service Rijnmond, and the Netherlands Forensic Institute in this investigation.

   AISI Pushes Congress to Avert Freight Rail Disruption
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   30 Nov, 2022, 6:12 am
   
   American Iron & Steel Institute President & CEO Mr Kevin Dempsey has sent a letter to congressional leadership urging Congress to pass legislation to ensure that our nation’s freight rail system remains fully operational. He wrote “The potential for significant disruption in the critical national rail system would have serious consequences for the domestic steel industry and the entire U.S. economy. The recent rejection of the agreement reached between the railroads and the negotiators for rail labor organizations in September has raised concerns that a harmful interruption to the rail system may occur as soon as early next week. While a voluntary agreement among all parties to the ongoing rail negotiations is clearly the best outcome, congressional action is necessary to ensure that our nation’s freight rail system remains operational.’
   
   He noted that last year, railroads hauled more than 15 million carloads of steel and the raw materials needed to produce America’s steel.
   
   He concluded “The nation’s railroads are an indispensable necessity for the health and survival of our domestic steel industry. A functional freight railroad system is critical to ensuring that the American steel industry can effectively and efficiently serve its customers. We urge Congress to take the necessary legislative action to ensure that our nation’s freight rail system remains fully operational.”

   Suppliers resist following Indian HRC hikes in GCC
   245 Views
   
   Non-Indian-origin import offers are preventing hot rolled coil price hikes in the Gulf Cooperation Council market. Numerous buyers with very low inventories booked modest tonnages last week of tubemaking and re-rolling grade HRC from Chinese, Saudi and Indian mills.
   
   In November, re-rollers have seen improving demand from their customers abroad and their sales registered a 25-40% growth on October. This week, imported HRC prices are unchanged from last week, Kallanish notes.
   
   In United Arab Emirates last week, after a long period of absence from the market, the major Indian mill issued its offer. It concluded a deal for a small cargo of mismatched-size HRC at $605/tonne cfr UAE for 5mm thickness S275JR grade for December shipment. The mill is offering 2mm+ re-rolling grade (SAE 1006) at around $640/t cfr GCC for December shipment, which buyers find unworkable. Other suppliers’ offers are at $585-605/t cfr for January shipment.
   
   In UAE and Saudi Arabia, a few tubemakers booked from a Chinese mill at $620-625/t cfr GCC ports for 1.2mm thickness SPHT-1 grade for January shipment. A re-roller in UAE booked 5,000 tonnes from a GCC mill for 2mm+ SAE 1006 grade at $620/t delivered to Abu Dhabi for late-December shipment.
   
   This week's prices are the same as last week; a Japanese HRC supplier, not typically active in the bloc, is offering base grade HRC at $580/t cfr GCC for February shipment. The bloc's well-known major Japanese supplier's negotiable initial offer for 2mm+ SAE 1006 grade is meanwhile at $600/t cfr for January shipment. Buyers say the latter has a $10-20/t margin for compromise subject to tonnage and customer classification.
   
   Re-rolling grade HRC offers from Taiwan and the South Korean mill's Indonesian subsidiary are at $585/t cfr GCC for January shipment. Meanwhile, a Russian mill's officials, while visiting potential UAE customers, are indicating $15/t lower than market price for their material. However, buyers are showing less interest due to sanctions imposed on the Russian steelmaker's largest shareholder.
   
   An ex-China 0.34-1.17mm cold rolled full hard (CRFH) offer was heard at around $620/t, while South Korean 0.4-2mm thickness material is at $640/t, both cfr Abu Dhabi with January and February shipment, respectively.
   
   Meanwhile, Vietnam-based Formosa's SAE 1006 and S235JR grade HRC offers through a Hong Kong-based trading company are at around $580-585/t cfr GCC ports for January shipment. S275JR grade incurs $10/t extra.
   
   Well-known Indian HRC suppliers to the region are quoting at $600-610/t cfr GCC ports for mid-January shipment for tubemaking and re-rolling grades.
   
   "We know the Formosa quality through our contacts in India, and their re-rolling grade HRC is exceptionally good,” a senior downstream mill official comments. "The price increase that happened two weeks ago is not sustainable; for this reason, next week we expect $600/t cfr GCC will be the threshold for higher margins."

   Kametstal halts production, Ferrexpo output suffers amid blackouts
   159 Views
   
   Metinvest’s Kametstal steelworks has temporarily stopped production due to energy shortages after new shelling by Russia.
   
   “During the week beginning 21 November, Russian attacks resulted in power outages throughout the country,” the company says. “Metinvest, along with other industrial enterprises operating in Ukraine, was also affected, as for the first time since the start of a full-scale military invasion, production at the group's Ukrainian enterprises was stopped on an emergency basis due to a lack of electricity.”
   
   However, power supply has been partially restored, although industrial producers use electricity within the available quotas, which can change every day, it adds.
   
   As of 28 November, all Metinvest enterprises have resumed their activities, except for Kametstal. An assessment is being made of possible damage to production facilities resulting from the shutdown, as well as of the timing of a production restart, the enterprise claims.
   
   According to Metinvest, a long-term absence of deliveries of square billet from Kametstal may lead to the suspension of production at its Bulgarian Promet Steel re-rolling subsidiary. “We cannot predict how long Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure will continue and there may also future interruptions in production,” it adds.
   
   Ukrainian iron ore miner and pellet producer Ferrexpo has meanwhile announced that repair work has now sufficiently progressed to allow for the partial resumption of production activities at its operations in central Ukraine, the company tells Kallanish.
   
   “The supply of power to the group's operations, however, remains variable and limited, which has an impact on the cost effectiveness of production,” a Ferrexpo spokesperson notes. “As a result, the group is currently focused on drawing down on its stockpiles of finished iron ore products to maintain supplies to its customers. The ability to utilise such stockpiles has ensured a consistent supply to customers … and we can confirm that it has sufficient stockpiles to meet customer demand.”
   
   Ukraine's Sukha Balka mine, part of DCH Steel, has decided to temporarily shut down production processes at the Frunze mine in the face of declining production volumes, consumption of raw materials and limited supply of energy resources.
   
   Earlier, stainless seamless pipe producer Centravis reduced capacity utilisation amid energy blackouts (see Kallanish passim).
   
   ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih (AMKR) also critically limited electricity consumption and suspended most production processes.

   New Cranes Improve Reliability for Valbruna Slater Stainless
   
   Strategic Research Institute
   Published on :
   1 Dec, 2022, 6:02 am
   
   RM Hoist reported that US’s special steelmaker Valbruna Slater Stainless is constantly updating its production capabilities and has upgrading its overhead cranes, which are used to move ?nished goods and raw materials for stainless steel processing. Valbruna Slater Stainless wanted to replace two older DC-powered cranes with more powerful AC cranes, but still retain the existing bridge structure. The older cranes had become unreliable, and the hoists were heavy compared to more modern solutions.
   
   Valbruna Slater Stainless turned to Hoosier Crane Service for expert assistance. The older DC cranes were each equipped with 20 ton and 7 ton dual hoists on one trolley. Hoosier Crane’s original plan was to keep a center line bridge drive motor on both but replace the DC motors with larger AC motors. However, Hoosier Crane decided that the more viable solution was side mounted SEW Euro Drive gearboxes with motors.
   
   Hoosier Crane removed the two existing hoists and replaced them with new R&M 10 ton hoists. Hoosier Crane installed the new hoists on a new ASCE rail. These new hoists were one third of the weight of the old. Using the R&M 10t hoists, Hoosier Crane was able to deploy a more reliable, lightweight and modern system without replacing the bridges.
   
   Hoosier Crane Service, founded by Tom and Cherie Schmidt, is a family-owned business headquartered in Elkhart in Indiana. Hoosier Crane has grown throughout the last 20 years from 4 employees to approximately 100 employees and is presently providing overhead crane material handling solutions throughout the USA.
   
   Based in Fort Wayne Indiana in US, Valbruna Slater Stainless is part of the Valbruna Group. Founded in 1925, Valbruna has 2,500 employees and an annual output of approximately 250,000 tonnes of specialty steels. Production is primarily focused on stainless steels and specialty alloys, such as nickel alloys and titanium long products.

    AISI Applauds WTO Ruling in Indonesian Ban on Nickel Export
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    1 Dec, 2022, 6:04 am
    
    American Iron & Steel Institute President & CEO Mr Kevin Dempsey, in response to a ruling announced by the World Trade Organization regarding a dispute brought by the EU challenging Indonesia’s ban on the export of nickel ore and its requirement that all nickel ore be processed domestically, said “AISI applauds the ruling by a WTO dispute resolution panel against the government of Indonesia’s ban on the export of nickel ore. This export restriction, together with a requirement that nickel ore be processed domestically in Indonesia, has distorted global markets for nickel ore, a key input in stainless steel production, to the detriment of steel producers in the United States and around the world. We call on Indonesia to end these trade-distorting policies immediately.”
    
    He said ““AISI appreciates the active engagement by the US government as a third party in this WTO dispute to challenge the Indonesian export ban, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with USTR to address the many other trade-distorting policies by governments around the world that are fueling the ongoing global overcapacity crisis in steel.”

    Esteel Plans Green Steel Plant at Sabah in Malaysia
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    1 Dec, 2022, 6:05 am
    
    Malaysian steelmaker Esteel plans to reduce the carbon footprint of steel production by setting up environmentally friendly new steel plant in Sabah by investing MYR 19.6 billion (USD 4.39 billion). Under the green steel project, the plant will replace coke and coal with natural gas, and subsequently hydrogen in the future, as a reducing agent. The project covers the entire production chain from iron ore concentration, palletising and direct reduced iron to steelmaking, steel rolling and high-end steel processing. The use of natural gas will ensure that carbon emission from the production of steel drops by 70% but the facility will eventually turn to green hydrogen smelting, which leads to near zero carbon emission.
    
    Under the first phase are multiple facilities such as an iron concentration plant, pelletising plant, hot briquetted iron plant, as well as jetty and support facilities. This plant will eventually produce 2.5 million tonne per year of HBI. Work on this phase will begin in the third quarter of 2023 and is expected to be completed by the last quarter of 2025 at a cost of USD 1.29 billion
    
    Sabah Oil & Gas Development Corporation has entered into a land lease agreement with Esteel Enterprise. Esteel will construct an integrated green steel plant on a 180 hectare site in the industrial park.
    
    Established in 2004, E Steel specializes in a wide range of high-quality steel products. The company focused on special steel whereas the majority of the steel materials are imported catered for Oil & Gas, Automotive, Medical, Machinery and Semiconductor industries. Since then E Steel has become one of the fastest-growing steel stockiest in Malaysia. The business has grown abroad to the Middle East and the rest of ASEAN countries.

    ArcelorMittal South Africa Plan Green Steel at Shut Saldanha Plant
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    1 Dec, 2022, 6:05 am
    
    South African IOL recently reported that an energy application lodged with the energy regulator shows that ArcelorMittal South Africa is looking to restart its operations in Saldanha Bay. As per report “AMSA might reopen the facility using hydrogen made from renewable energy to make low-carbon iron at the facility and is in talks with Eskom regarding a three-year electricity supply deal. The reopening will result in 260 people being employed by AMSA and another 375 who will be on site contractors.”
    
    In its application, National Energy Regulator of South Africa said that Amsa has approached Transnet, Eskom, the Western Cape Government and the Saldanha Bay Municipality for assistance with the restart of the Saldanha Works operations converting from the costly iron ore/coke steel making to an electric scrap-melting model.
    
    AMSA Group Manager Tami Didiza said “Amsa is working on its plan to achieve ambitious carbon reduction targets for 2030 and 2050. The journey will involve close collaboration with several stakeholders, including local and international public and private sector participants. AMSA has recently signed joint development agreement with Sasol, which will advance studies into two potential projects.”
    
    He said “The first one is the Saldanha green hydrogen and derivatives study which will explore the region’s potential as an export hub for green hydrogen and derivatives, as well as green steel production; and the Vaal carbon capture and utilisation study. The latter is to use renewable electricity and green hydrogen to convert captured carbon from Amsa’s Vanderbijlpark steel plant into sustainable fuels and chemicals.”
    
    He added “With the appropriate support, the restart of Saldanha Works as an early supplier of green-directly-reduced iron to the international market is a very exciting prospect. However, it is too early to share the specifics as these discussions are ongoing.”
    
    Amsa closed its steel plant in Saldanha two years ago, partly because electricity costs got too high.

    BMWK Supports Georgsmarienhütte Decarbonization Project
    
    Strategic Research Institute
    Published on :
    1 Dec, 2022, 6:06 am
    
    The Federal Ministry of Germany for Economic Affairs and Climate Action BMWK has granted around EUR 880,000 to German steelmaker Georgsmarienhütte’s EVAGMH decarbonization project for the first time. Georgsmarienhütte will build a bar tempering plant for the treatment of bar steel. The plant will use green electricity instead of natural gas, reducing carbon emissions and dependence on natural gas imports. The plant is scheduled to be put it into operation in mid-2023.
    
    In the funded project, the steel manufacturer GMH will set up an inductive individual bar tempering plant for the treatment of bar steel and put it into operation in mid-2023. In the energy-intensive heat treatment process, the metal is subjected to a heat treatment, cooled and reheated to make it particularly resistant. The new plant contributes to the decarbonization of the industry: the traditional quenching process, in which the furnace is fired with natural gas and generates large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, is now being switched to a quenching furnace powered by green electricity. This eliminates exhaust gases and increases energy efficiency.
    
    At this location alone, around 2,800 tons of CO2 can be avoided every year. This decarbonization method of the heat treatment process can basically be transferred to the entire steel industry: After a successful start, the large-scale plant can not only be installed in the company's own electric steel group of companies, but also in all metalworking companies.
    
    The funding decision for this project is the first in a series of funding projects in the primary and secondary steel industry as well as the chemical, glass, cement, paper and non-ferrous metal industries, which the BMWK is funding in the programs "Decarbonization in Industry" and " IPCEI Hydrogen” being prepared at the moment.

    The Telegraph reported that Tata Steel Ltd has decided to extend INR 800 crore worth of financial support to Kolkata headquartered Tata Metaliks to help its subsidiary efficiently manage working capital requirements amidst heightened volatility in the steel market. The assistance will be provided in the form of INR 200 crore inter-corporate deposits of revolving nature and an option to dip into the nonfund based facilities of the parent up to INR 600 crore. The financial assistance will be only for the fiscal year of 2022-23 and fall under related party transactions. Consequently, Tata Metaliks has sought approval from the shareholders for the proposed transaction.
    
    Tata Metaliks said “Steel sector is going through frequent volatile cycles. The volatile commodity price environment is driven by the Russia Ukraine conflict, associated sanctions and consequent supply chain disruptions. Volatile prices of commodities require a significant amount of working capital for the company. The financial assistance will help the group ecosystem in ensuring secured and efficient utilisation of cash management and will bring synergy across companies by sharing the pool of resources as it will ensure consistent utilisation of capital at arm’s length.”
    
    Tata Steel is the holding company of Tata Metaliks having 60.03% stake. The development comes weeks after the city-based company completed the expansion of the DI pipe-making facility at an investment of INR 600 crore.

    ArcelorMittal Canada Relies on Danieli’s Energiron DRI Technology

    Published on :
    1 Dec, 2022, 6:09 am
    
    In the frame of its decarbonization plan through an innovative DRI program, ArcelorMittal has chosen Energiron DRI Direct Reduced Iron technology for its Dofasco plant in Canada. The Energiron Alliance of Tenova & Danieli will design and supply a 2.5-million tonnes per year, hydrogen-ready Energiron ZR direct reduction plant to be located in Hamilton in Canada.
    
    The ArcelorMittal Dofasco plant will transition away from the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace steelmaking production route to the Direct Reduced Iron – Electric Arc Furnace production route, which carries a significantly lower carbon footprint. The investment will reduce annual CO2?emissions at Hamilton operations by approximately 3 million tonne per year, which represents approximately 60% of emissions.
    
    The new Energiron plant will be able to use Natural Gas as reducing agent with the possibility to mix it with hydrogen up to 100%. The plant will have the flexibility to use different reducing gases in any combination or proportion, using the same Energiron ZR scheme.
    
    The technology has the capability to capture and use CO2, which will further reduce the overall plant CO2 emissions and provide an additional revenue stream for the plant operations.
    
    The plant will produce hot DRI pellets that will be processed via the proven Hytemp pneumatic transport system, to a new EAF mill to be located next to the Energiron plant.
    
    The Energiron technology, jointly developed by Tenova and Danieli, is the most flexible DR technology for virgin metallic unit production in terms of makeup gases utilization, and is already designed to maximize the reduction of CO2 emissions.
