ESL awards Danieli Corus the order to revamp converters

ESL -Electro Steel Limited, a Vedanta Resources subsidiary, selected Danieli Corus for the replacement of the vessels of both 60-ton converters in operation at the Siyaljori, Jharkhand plant, located east of Bokaro Steel City, India.

The existing vessels, which have detachable bottoms, will be replaced by new vessels with technologically advanced, Danieli Corus Lamella-type vertical and Daniella-type horizontal suspension systems.

The upgrade of the two converters –which is the first such project for Danieli Corus in India¬– reflects the ambition of ESL to implement state-of-the-art technology and increase the efficiency and stability of operations, while relying on the longest possible lifetime capability.

The upgraded converters will be available for operation in the second half of 2023.

With eight converters in operation and six projects in progress, the new converters for ESL bring the total number of Danieli Corus BOF converter vessel stands to sixteen, worldwide.
