The “Fermosa Biosiderúrgica” plant marked an important milestone with the completion of the assembly of the last pieces of the blast furnace. This advance reinforces the commitment to responsible and sustainable industrial development in the region.
The closure of the blast furnace was achieved after the installation of parts that They exceeded 16 tons in total:
These maneuvers, executed with cutting-edge technology, were carried out under strict technical coordination, like each stage of the process. “Completing the assembly of the blast furnace is an important step in our project, reflecting the precision and collective effort that an infrastructure of this magnitude requires”highlighted engineer Paulo Labbate, project manager of Modulax Siderurgia.
Besides, Civil works are also progressing at a steady pace with the beginning of the concreting of the coal silo columns, with the construction of the walls of the machine room and with a progress of 70% of the decanter.
Economic and social impact
The plant, located in the Scientific Pole and designed to produce green pig iron — the mineral used for the production of steel and other iron-derived products — will generate 144 thousand tons per year of this product for the sustainable steel industry. This project will not only reduce dependence on imports, but is also creating direct and indirect jobs, providing job opportunities that boost the local economy.
“The impact of this plant transcends the industrial; “It is a catalyst for the economic and technological growth of the region,” commented Labbate, highlighting the strategic value of the project. The strengthening of the regional industry is another central axis, with collaborations with local companies, such as Canavesio, responsible for concrete piles, iron reinforcements and assembly of metal structures.
Projection and logistics
With an investment of 65 million dollars, it is estimated that the plant will generate income of 155 million dollars annually through exports and import substitution. “Each team that arrives brings us closer to consolidating this one-of-a-kind plant. Formosa has a strategic location for this development,” Labbate stressed, referring to access to the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway for the logistics of supplies and products.
“Fermosa Biosiderúrgica” positions Formosa as a benchmark in sustainable industrial production in South America. With a view to being operational in 2025, This project marks a before and after in the steel industry, promoting economic, technological and environmental growth in the region.
