NLMK begins a new environmental project in sinter production

Novolipetsk Steel has begun a new environmental protection project at its sinter plant, aiming to reduce the environmental impact of the main production facility in Lipetsk.

Environmental pollution will be reduced as a result of the advanced sintering process and the extra equipment implemented for sintered layer treatment. The equipment for all four machines will reduce the sinter plant’s carbon monoxide emissions by 10%.

In accordance with NLMK’s policy to control and reduce its environmental impact, the Company will begin to revamp the central dedusting systems of its sinter machines and gas cleaning plants, generating an 80% reduction in sinter dust emissions. Currently NLMK has already concluded an agreement with Alstom Power for the delivery of the equipment which has already started.
