power is a distinctive feature<br />
of the environmentally friendly<br />
operation of the new facility.<br />
Q: Did Paul Wurth gain any new<br />
experience from the project?<br />
NM: Absolutely, we have gained<br />
and continue to gain new<br />
experience and expertise from the<br />
Lipetsk project. This is part and<br />
parcel of our business – one never<br />
stops learning while implementing<br />
a project. For example, compliance<br />
with the requirements imposed<br />
by Rostekhnadzor (Russian<br />
engineering regulator) was an<br />
important challenge for the Paul<br />
Wurth team, and is one of the<br />
lessons learned from this project.<br />
Q: What are your plans for<br />
further cooperation with <strong>NLMK</strong>?<br />
SK: We are currently building<br />
pulverized coal injection<br />
installations for blast furnaces Nos.<br />
3, 4, and 5. The same technology<br />
will later be installed at blast<br />
furnaces Nos. 6 and 7. We see<br />
potential for further upgrades of<br />
blast furnaces, coke chemical<br />
operations and sintering facilities.<br />
Some of our technology and<br />
solutions can obviously help the<br />
Lipetsk operation become more<br />
profitable, more energy efficient<br />
and environmentally safe than it<br />
currently is. In addition, once the<br />
new BF-7 facility is started up, a<br />
regular exchange of information<br />
will become the basis for expanding<br />
our cooperation even further.
