CSN UPV Reheating Furnace

At the Brazilian local time on December 10, 2013, the CSN UPV bar mill was started up fully, contracted by CISDI on EP basis plus entire commissioning.

The successful hot commissioning of bar mill marks full startup of this minimill line which comprises EAF steelmaking, continuous casting and long products rolling. Thus, the production line became capable of producing the final products as required.

This project was contracted in June 2007, including steelmaking, casting, reheating furnace, bar and wire rod mill. It was a large overseas order for CISDI on EP mode. The project is challenging as it requires installing new EAF-LF-CC-Mill facilities in existing plant building. The owner, as the second largest steel producer and one of largest high-end plate producers in Brazil, is very strict in design and equipment quality.

It involved wide range of technological processes, covering steelmaking, continuous casting, bar and wire rod mill rolling, utilities and others. Most of the equipment was delivered in 2008 actually after the signing of contract in 2007. However, the progresses were not as smoothly as desired for various reasons; that fact posed arduous execution of the project. What’s commendable is the site managerial staff dispatched by CISDI formulated and implemented a series of supervision and control measures by virtue of their rich experience. In particular, during the equipment installation and commissioning, CISDI people at site tackled many hardships in performing the overseas project, and uninterruptedly pushed forward every step of commissioning. At last, the steelmaking, casting and bar rolling were successfully hot commissioned, laying a solid foundation for the whole line startup.
