Production of Ferroalloys
The “AzFerAl” enterprise in Sumgayit, which recently became part of the BSC group, produces ferrosilicium of class up to FeSi75.
The ferroalloy Production Site at “Baku Steel Company” CJSC produces ferrosilicon (FeSi) of various qualities and fractions (FeSi60% - FeSi75%, fraction 0-100 mm), used as an oxidizing and alloying additive for the smelting of various types of steel and other materials that are resistant to electricity, tension, corrosion and heat.
The production capacity of the enterprise is 18,000 tons per year.
Main indicators of the Ferroalloys production site:
- At the Ferroalloy production site,High-silicon FeSi75 Ferroalloys, primarily consumed by metallurgical enterprises, are produced using a RKO-33 type furnace with a maximum capacity of 33MVA , opearating at a range of 21-23 MVA.
- This furnace is capable to produce up to 50 tons of FeSi75 per day.
- The total production capacity of the facility ranges from 1500 to 1800 tons per month (depending on the grade of the produced products).
- Activities are currently underway at the facility to install a second furnace, with the objective of boosting the monthly production capacity to 3600 tons.
- Approximately 7 kilograms of FeSi are consumed for every ton of the produced steel.
- 172 employees work at the facility.
