These investments allow us to not only raise our productivity but to also improve our product quality, logistic processes and environmental achievements.
-
Mathematical models behind the blast furnaces
The steering and optimising of our blast furnace process is done via mathematical models.
-
Biological water purification
In our coking plant, polluted water is purified biologically. This installation is state of the art in Europe.

Revaluing CO and CO2
In light of the Carbon2Value project we separate CO and CO2, derving from our process gasses, in order to convert them into chemical building blocks and biofuel. This project is supported by the ‘Interreg 2 Seas’ programme.
-
Industry 4.0
Every day our co-workers go in search of the next step towards the ‘steel factory of the future’, constantly pushing the limits of steel making.
