Vietnam's Hoa Phat has completed expansion work on Dung Quat 2

Vietnamese steel producer Hoa Phat Group has completed a major expansion project at its Dung Quat 2 site with the support of German plant producer SMS Group. According to SMS Group, the project was completed ahead of schedule, increasing steel production capacity and paving the way for the plant to achieve its annual production target of six million tons by 2028, including high-quality hot-rolled coils for automotive applications and low-carbon steel.

Expansion and growth of capacity

The delivery volume provided by SMS Group included two 300-ton converters with primary dry gas treatment plants and secondary metallurgy plants, including a 300-ton double-bucket furnace and two 300-ton duplex Ruhrstahl Heraeus plants. With advanced recovery systems and ultra-low emissions, the new facilities strengthen Hoa Phat's commitment to green steel production, achieving less than 20 mg/Nm3 dust emissions.

The full order was divided into two delivery groups, and both groups 1 and 2 were installed and put into operation ahead of schedule, the first in September 2024, and the second in August this year.
