CILEGON - PT Krakatau Steel Tbk (Persero) to realize the construction of mega blast furnace amount U.S. $ 621.81 million with a target of the operation in early 2015.
Blast furnace is a factory capable of producing iron and crude steel in the once though. Blast furnace does not require iron ore pellets (iron ore in the form of sand grains) in making iron, but it just takes iron ore.
This project consists of three main factories, each sintering plant with a production capacity of 1.78 million tonnes per year with a magnitude of 180 m2 machine, coke oven plant with a capacity of 500,000 tons per year, and the blast furnace plant with a capacity of 1.2 million tonnes volume of 1832 m3 per year.
Sintering plant serves as a producer of raw materials for blast furnaces. As for the coke oven plant will produce fuel for blast furnace coke. Coke oven is also to reduce iron ore.
Director of Krakatau Steel, Irvan Kamal Hakim explained the project will be completed in 36 months or will soon be completed to reduce dependence on imports.
"The construction of this plant is expected to reduce dependence on imported raw materials of iron. Currently the national need as much steel 9.7 million tons," he said during the groundbreaking ceremony of the project in the company's industrial area in Cilegon, Monday (07/09/2012).
As for the construction of blast furnaces, the company owned involve Capital Engineering & Research Inc. Ltd, ACRE Coking & Refactory PT Krakatau Engineering Consulting and Engineering, as the executor of the project through an open tender mechanism. As for being appointed as the leader of the consortium is the Capital Engineering from China.
The project is also projected at the same time to conserve energy use. During this time, he explained, Krakatau Steel's steel mill is a factory direct reduction techniques, which use natural gas as its fuel. The crude steel mills using electric arc furnace techniques / EAF, which use electricity.
Meeting the needs for iron and steel scrap pellets were obtained by importing a very high price.
As projected savings, the presence of blast furnace will make the production cost of KRAS become more efficient, because the blast furnace did not require two types of raw materials earlier. On the other hand, KRAS will not have to become less dependent on supplies of gas and electricity, because there are other alternative fuels, namely coal.
For the supply of coal, up to date Krakatau Steel in resource discovery stage coal coking coal. Bricks for steel production in this new machine, the higher rank coal than ordinary coal.
Based on the record business, in Indonesia there are only two companies that produce coal of this kind, ie Borneo Lumbung Energy & Metal (BORN), and Marubeni Coal.
"To meet the needs of coal, our subsidiary PT Krakatau Natural Prima will map the entire potential of that resource," said Irvan,
If it does not exist in Indonesia, he said, Krakatau Steel will bring high calorie coal to run the blast furnace. "We can bring in coal, such as from India and Australia."
Associated with investments worth U.S. $ 621.81 million, Sukandar, KRAS finance director, said the company producing iron coded KRAS stock fund itself is about 28%. The rest, KRAS obtained a loan from a consortium of banks in the country and abroad. They include HSBC Bank, ICBC, CDB, BRI, BNI and Mandiri.
Sukandar describes the current development of the total expenditure blast furnace has been used to pay down payment (DP) equipment purchases amounted to U.S. $ 80 million. "A number of such equipment was imported from China." (*)
