Start-up of new coal silos turns Maanshan Steel greener

Maanshan Steel Phase I’s 10 new, energy-efficient coal silos are now successfully discharging materials.

The silos were built by CISDI to an EPC mode and were ready ahead of schedule.

The coal silo plant, located in the southern section of the coking plant, is designed to be fully enclosed, which will protect against material losses caused by wind and rain.

An important step in transforming Masteel into a green, modernised urban steelworks, Phase I’s silo start-up is set to bring many environmental, economic and social benefits.

The advanced silos will reduce energy consumption and emissions and improve air and water clarity in the local area.

They will upgrade Masteel’s intelligent manufacturing levels and improve coal proportioning accuracy.

Once they are in operation, Masteel’s outdated and high energy-consumption equipment will be demolished. Unsafe factors will be eliminated, promoting Masteel’s HSE levels.
