Zaporizhstal reduced the energy intensity of the production of metal rolling

In January - June 2013, Zaporizhstal MK produced a metal roll with energy costs of 21.8 GJ per ton, which is 6.4 percent less than in APPG -2012 (23.3 GJ/ton). This is stated in the report of the management company of the Metinvest plant.

A set of measures aimed primarily at identifying energy losses and eliminating weaknesses helped to reduce the energy intensity of the production of metal products. Work was carried out to reduce the loss of cold blowing during transportation from the thermal power station to the domain workshop; optimization of heating modes according to the areas of methodological furnaces; Electricity savings by setting up the optimal equipment mode in rolling workshops.

In addition, the enterprise regularly holds a special competition, during which employees Zaporizhstvo submitted 9 proposals for energy saving who gave the economic effect of their implementation 2 million UAH per month. The rationalizers paid bonuses for a total of 30 thousand UAH.
