In the energy business units of Kamet Steel, systematic work is in progress to improve the reliability and energy efficiency of key equipment. In the CHP, a large-scale overhaul of turbo blower # 1, which ensures a stable supply of blast to the blast furnaces of the enterprise, is being performed.As part of the overhaul, it is planned to restore and replace key equipment along the entire process chain of the turbo blower No.1. In particular, a steam turbine requires significant repair intervention. First of all, the steam rotor blades will be completely replaced at the contractor's repair site. In the flow channel, more than half of the diaphragms and all end and intermediate seals will be replaced, which prevents inefficient steam losses. Also, the key technical components of the compressor will be carefully checked and repaired - rotor, diffusers, seals, etc.Significant attention is paid to the revision and restoration of the auxiliary equipment of the turbo blower. In particular, t

Anna Buhaiova from Zaporizhstal has a job, which is traditionally considered a male-dominated job. Despite the stereotypes, the female steel worker doesn't feel like a square peg in a round hole, and the colleagues compliment her for her professionalism. Anna Buhaiova has been working at Zaporizhstal cold rolling shop for 13 years. She started as a metal inspector, and later worked as a sling operator. Whichever the job, she would steep in, learning every detail and looking for gaps to close and improve the processes. Apart from her own job responsibilities, she always takes interest in her colleagues’ work to be able to help or second.Her colleagues speak of her as a team player with leadership skills.

Metinvest Polytechnic Technical University is enhancing its standing in the global educational community by forming new strategic partnerships. The University has signed a tripartite memorandum of cooperation with Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov University and Promet Steel in Bulgaria.The initiator of such a collaboration was Promet Steel. As Dmytro Zakharchenko, the executive director of the company, pointed out: "Currently, the metallurgy sector is the least sought-after and protected industry in Bulgaria. This has led to a significant shortage of personnel for the company, as it is nearly impossible to find the required specialists in the market, and the education system does not provide adequate training for them." Thus, the idea emerged to combine Metinvest Polytechnic's metallurgical science and knowledge with the European teaching practices of Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov University at Promet Steel's production and training site, leveraging their extensive practical experience."This memoran

Central GOK has successfully passed the first supervisory audit and confirmed the compliance of the energy management system with the requirements of international standards.Last month, the audit was conducted by the specialists of the state enterprise "Kryvbasstandartmetrologiya".

The auditors focused on checking the implementation of the energy management system and documentation in accordance with the international requirements of ISO 50001:2018 standard."The energy management system of Central GOK meets all international standards and ensures the systematic implementation of innovative energy-efficient technologies in the production processes of the plant to constantly reduce the energy intensity and cost of production of the enterprise," said Maxym STRILETS, Head of the Energy Management Department of Central GOK of Metinvest Group.Following the results of a thorough audit, the a

Yevhen Sazhniev from Zaporizhstal defended Ukraine on the front for more than 2 years, and now he has returned to work.Yevhen Sazhniev, a casting operator of the steelmaking shop of Zaporizhstal, has been working at the plant for about 25 years. However, in 2022, his usual intense shifts at the furnaces were replaced by equally intense duties on the front lines."In 2022, I was mobilized to the front. Of course, it was a difficult period of my life – daily risk, constant explosions. You always feel unsafe. But despite everything, you have to complete combat missions – and you do your job as best you can. The price of a mistake is too high – after all, we are talking about the lives of brothers- and sisters-in-arms. Serving on the front is a radically different life, because everything you are used to changes," the veteran recalls. Yevhen served as a sapper in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, and in Donbas. He worked with his comrades, laying minefields, which helped strengthen the def

Journalists from The Guardian, a leading global media outlet, visited Metinvest’s Pokrovske Coal facility to learn about the Ukrainian women moving into traditionally male positions.Standing in front of a Soviet-era industrial elevator, ready to descend 2,000ft for a gruelling six-hour shift at a coalmine in eastern Ukraine, Ludmyla Bashkatova looked unfazed.The last thing she saw before stepping into the metal cage and plunging into darkness with dozens of other miners was a towering sign urging workers to take care. “You are awaited at home,” it read, a stark reminder of the perils working at a frontline mine in the city of Pokrovsk.“At first, going underground was scary, but you soon get used to it,” said Bashkatova, 49, as workers emerging from the night shift, their faces darkened by coal dust, passed by her.The Russian invasion, which saw hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men serve at the front, has pushed women like Bashkatova down into the mines, taking up traditionally male

Щоб надійно забезпечувати технологічні процеси на підприємстві хімічно очищеною водою, на дільниці ХВО № 3 теплоелектроцентралі виконують комплекс капітальних ремонтів устаткування, від якого першочергово залежить виконання поставлених перед енергетиками завдань. Головне завдання дільниці хімводоочищення № 3 ТЕЦ – багатоступенева підготовка та доведення до визначених параметрів води для подальшого її постачання у виробничі підрозділи комбінату. Саме тут, у велетенських фільтрах, освітлену воду звільняють від механічних домішок, а далі хімічно доводять у двоступінчастих натрій-катіонітових фільтрах. Щоб увесь цей технологічний ланцюжок працював надійно і безперебійно, на дільниці виконують великий обсяг робіт в межах капітальних ремонтів чотирьох фільтрів – двох механічних і двох натрієвих першого ступеня, – а також трубопроводу діаметром 325 мм, яким освітлена вода надходить до механічних фільтрів і від стабільного функціювання якого залежить якість роботи цих фільтрів.Спеціалісти цех
