SHARE
In March, Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH (HKM) gave Primetals Technologies the final
acceptance for the modernized LD (BOF) converter no. 2 in its Duisburg, Germany plant. The project
involved equipping the converter plant with a new trunnion ring and new suspension. The tilting drive
was also modernized. These measures will help to lengthen the life of the plant and increase its
availability. The project was performed in a consortium with Buchinger Anlagen-Stahl-Rohrbau GmbH.
The converter has been in hot working since the middle of November 2016.
