In the energy sector of Kamet-Steel, one of the most extensive repairs of the year is underway. In November, under the 2024 program, the AKAr-40/35 air distribution unit went into a 50-day overhaul. The purpose of the modern air distribution unit, which was commissioned in 2007, is to provide technological processes of steel-making and blast furnace departments with air separation products, primarily oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. The capacity according to the data sheet of AKAr-40/35 is 40,000 m³/hour of nitrogen and 35,000 m³/hour of oxygen. The unit also produces krypton and xenon and neon and helium mixtures, which the enterprise sells to external consumers. Repairmen are completing preparation for a complete replacement of the adsorbent – a highly dispersed material for purifying air from moisture and carbon dioxide, which negatively affect the productivity and quality of air distribution. The adsorbers have already been cleaned of the old material, and specialists are repairing in

Працівники запорізьких підприємств Метінвесту долучилися до збору донорської крові.Днями у Запорізькому обласному центрі переливання крові було людяно – тут зібралися на донорську акцію приблизно 40 працівників запорізьких підприємств Метінвесту. Загалом цього разу металурги змогли зібрати понад 17 л донорської крові.Такі заходи для промисловців не в новинку: традиція віддавати частинку себе заради спасіння життів народилася ще далеко до початку повномасштабної війни.- Раніше на комбінаті по декілька разів на рік влаштовували дні донора.

Це вже шоста наша велика донорська акція від початку великої війни, і далеко не остання, – зазначив заступник голови молодіжної організації Запоріжсталі Сергій ПЕТРОВ.Серед інших цього дня до акції доєдналася Руслана СТРОНА, машиністка насосних установок цеху водопостачання Запоріжсталі.
