Micro steel mill project implemented in Iceland

A compact steel meltshop has been commissioned in Iceland. The plant comprises a modern EAF with 15 t (30 t) capacity equipped with an ultra-high performance electrode control system and a single-strand continuous caster. The blooms and mini slabs are directly used as electrodes in the aluminium melting industry. The initial capacity of the meltshop is only 30,000 – 40,000 t/year, expandable up to 200,000 t/year, matching current regional scrap availability and market requirements.
