Preeminence of Hoa Phat steel applies high-quality ore refining technology

22/01/2020 15:00

Joining the steel market since 2001, Hoa Phat has always affirmed its position in the market with superior quality products. With the enthusiasm of leading with quality, Hoa Phat's Complexes have advanced modern technology in the world with BOF steel smelting technology (BOF) from SMS Group - Germany and blast furnace steel technology ( BF) from Danieli Corus - Netherlands, producing construction steel products made from ore, clean impurities, high quality specialized in super constructions. Flat steel production technology (HRC) using Danieli-Italia line has the latest / most advanced technology today - QSP (quality strip product).

HPG News had a chance to talk with Mr. Ngo Duc Tuyen - Head of Technology Department, Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Company on the advantages of Hoa Phat steel production technology.

As one of the key officers of Hoa Phat Hai Duong Steel transferred to the core force of Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Joint Stock Company in Dung Quat Economic Zone, Quang Ngai Province, Mr. Ngo Duc Tuyen and employees of the Company - those who go to light the blast furnace, always bring in their burning enthusiasm, determination to contribute to Hoa Phat Group to a new level in the near future.

THE HIGHLIGHT OF HOA PHAT DUNG QUAT STEEL IS HRC STEEL

Can you introduce the current steel production technology of Hoa Phat Dung Quat?

The technology and method of steel production of Hoa Phat Dung Quat (HPDQ) are similar to those of major steel companies in the world today. In terms of scale, Hoa Phat Dung Quat is one of the largest production complexes in Southeast Asia. The closed production process goes from upstream (raw material) to downstream (finished steel). Finished steel products include construction steel, pre-stressed concrete steel, and flat steel (HRC) with a variety of types and sizes. The highlight of HPDQ is flat steel products. This flat steel product requires very strict and careful from the selection of raw materials to the stage of smelting and finally rolling. The rolling thread is designed, supplied and installed by the Danieli Group - Italy, this is the latest / most advanced technology in the world developed by Danieli with the name of QSP (quality strip product). After the quality smelting liquid steel is transferred to the QSP Factory, the continuous casting and rolling process takes place with liquid steel inlet and HRC flat steel outlet. Mastering the technology and HRC production line is a great challenge for all QSP factory employees as well as the relevant departments.

In addition to the highlight of the HRC product with QSP technology from Italy, HPDQ also chose blast furnace steel (BOF) technology from Germany - SMS Group and blast furnace steel (BF) technology from the Netherlands - Danieli Corus to ensure that all of the most important production processes are run smoothly, logically, scientifically, most environmentally friendly with lowest production costs.

According to the project's design, the expected capacity of the QSP plant (producing HRC hot rolled steel) is 2 million tons / year and will produce the first product in the second quarter of 2020.

How does the choice of technological equipment play a role in the success of the project?

Technology equipment plays a core role in the success of the project. We cannot operate a machine smoothly when it does not work or runs but tripped. Compared with the project in Hai Duong, HPDQ's technology equipment is updated with more modern new technologies as well as the superior automation / interlock. That is why everyone must strive to capture and understand the value.

TECHNOLOGY IS NOT BAD, JUST HOW PEOPLE USE THAT TECHNOLOGY.

For a long time many people often thought of the steel industry with a lack of sympathy. So how to understand steel manufacturing technology accurately?

Technology is not bad, just how people use it. Previously, China also bought technology equipment from developed countries such as Japan, USA, Germany ... Gradually, they researched and produced their own equipment to reduce costs. In 1978, the Japanese helped China to build BaoSteel iron and steel factory in Shanghai, opening a brilliant new era of Chinese growth is always double digits.

Mr. Ngo Duc Tuyen attends the world famous technology fair specializing in Metallurgy - Metec 2019 in Dusseldorf – Germany.

In the world, there are currently 02 different technological processes for steel production. Route 01: ore → blast furnace → blast furnace → casting / rolling steel. Route 02: scrap → electric furnace → casting / rolling steel. Route 01 can produce long and flat steel products, but route 02 can only produce long steel products (ordinary construction steel). The components of blast furnace, electric furnace, casting, rolling are the technology. These technologies are popular in the world, originated from Europe and have common standards in operation methods.

In the course of manufacturing operations, people can improve or devise new techniques, new methods to optimize the production process.

Hoa Phat applies blast furnace technology to produce steel from ore with technological lines imported from Germany and the Netherlands that are clean of impurities, and can produce high quality steel grades specialized in super construction works that ensures the strictest export standards of European countries, USA, Japan ...

In addition to choosing the best and the most modern technology, in steel production, Hoa Phat always implements strict quality control process with machinery system, iron and steel automatic analysis laboratory and mechanical product testing area with a total value of over VND 100 billion, contributing to strict control of product quality.

What are the main tasks of the Technology Department and the coordination between the Technology Department and factories in the Complex?

It should be more called production room. When I introduce that I am working in the technology room, everyone always thinks that is an information technology department.

Some of the main tasks of the Technology Department today are to make technological processes, guide technology for the main production stages in the Complex; Planning production for the items in the Complex, dispatching production among the production items; Making demand for consumable supplies and contingencies for production activities in the Complex; Setting up standard of materials, norms of consumption of materials, standards of finished products - semi-finished products in Complex.

In addition, the Technology Department also monitors production technology processes in the Complex; Preparing production summary report of production items for each production period; Analyze and assess the production / efficiency of technology activities in the Complex; Making a report on the status of technology activities in the Complex, making recommendations for corrective actions - prevention, improvement of technology.

Technology Department is always a bridge between the Factory and the Board of Directors of the Company as well as related departments such as Accounting, Materials and Statistics. It is also a bridge between one Plant and another. Each production order is issued, which leads to a lot of production activities of the related units / factories. Therefore, the Technology Department is also a production coordination center. 

What are your thoughts on the eve of the Canh Ty New Year?

On the occasion of the New Year, I wish the Board of Directors of the Group and Company and employees good health and success, wish our Hoa Phat Group development!

Thank you and wish you a successful new year!
