MMK’s planned steel mill in southern Ohio just received final permits from the Ohio EPA. You will be able to see the permits (though they’re not yet online) at the Ohio EPA site. A number of other application documents were linked to from this post back in February.
This link will take you to the Ohio EPA page for New Steel International, the working title of MMK’s proposed steel mill investment in Haverhill or Franklin, OH. Deep in the detail you will see estimates of the facility size. It’s not clear exactly how big the facility will be. The plan is to build the finishing end first (cold rolling capacity of 6,000 tons/day) followed by the meltshop (casting capacity of 12,000 tons/day). New Steel International is the name of the consulting company which filed the application on MMK’s behalf.
It sounds like the 1.5MT for the plant refers only to the finishing end. If the front end gets built it will be substantially larger. Comments relating to the Sun Coke Energy coke plant nearby seem to refer to the fact that the plant intends some form of iron making facility in addition to steel production. Anyone with any more info, please sign in and add below.
This is a very interesting presentation from Russian mining & metallurgical company Metalloinvest from September 2007. It provides some good data on Russian steel output through 2015 along with changing raw material use and sources as the Russian economy and particularly the steelmaking portion expand. This is especially important as the withdrawal of Russian scrap supply from the international market is one of the factors driving scrap price increases in North America, rebar prices in Turkey, non-residential construction costs everywhere etc. etc.
AM announced an investment in a very modest long products mill in Western Russia. What does this mean?
