According to the WeChat account of Shougang Yili Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., the No. 2 blast furnace of the company successfully started production on April 20, marking the entry into the full production stage and laying a solid foundation for achieving the annual production target.

Xia Leige, the company's leader, attended the ignition ceremony and put forward requirements for the next step of production and operation. First, it is necessary to optimize the blast furnace operation system around the global pellet smelting technology, and achieve a breakthrough in pig iron production by stabilizing pellet alkalinity and improving the utilization coefficient. At the same time, the ironmaking, steelmaking, and rolling processes should be coordinated to ensure the smooth operation of the entire process.

Second, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the safety production system, enhance equipment inspection, and manage hidden risks. Third, it is necessary to deepen the efforts in energy conservation and consumption reduction, with the core of controlling pre-iron costs, and continuously promote the action of cost reduction and efficiency improvement for all employees.
