Baosteel Desheng’s blast furnace 3 in China’s Fujian Province is now meeting ultra-low emissions standards, thanks to CISDI’s modifications.

All three of Desheng’s 450 cubic metre volume blast furnaces have now been rebuilt, completing the plant’s environmental protection upgrading programme.

Furnace 1 hit ULE targets in March and furnace 2 followed suit in September 2022.

Furnace 3 became cleaner in April. Tightly-scheduled milestones were met during the 4-month modification process. The Purchase Agreement was signed in early January 2023, designs were closed off and equipment arrived at site in mid March.

“We achieved clean production at furnace 3 thanks to CISDI team’s hard working. Their project manager, engineering manager, commissioning manager, process and drive engineers were onsite throughout March and April, helping us to coordinate all parties, problem-solve and ensure the furnace’s blow-in was on schedule,” commented a spokesperson for Baosteel Desheng.
