Turkish steel producer Tosyali Demir Celik Sanayi A.S. has placed an order with United Kingdom-based Primetals Technologies for a Quantum electric arc furnace (EAF) plant with some 2 million metric tons of annual capacity.
According to Primetals, equipment sold also includes a twin vacuum-degassing plant with oxygen blowing and a two-strand slab caster for the flat steel greenfield project in Iskenderun, Turkey. “The EAF Quantum is designed to handle metallic scrap and virgin materials such as hot briquetted iron (HBI) and pig iron in different composition and quality,” states Primetals.
The new melt shop is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2022.
Tosyali Demir Celik A.S. is part of the Tosyali Group, which also operates a steel plant named Toscelik in Osmaniye, Turkey, and a direct-reduced iron, or DRI, hot-charge melting plant in Algeria.
