STEEL MILL OPERATION The BOF converter will ensure that the maximum blowing capacity is achieved with the lance system, and contribute to reaching the goal of increasing the Dolvi Works’ capacity to 3.7-million tonnes a year

Plans to increase the capacity of multinational steel producer JSW Steel Dolvi Works’ (JSW Steel’s) steel mill by 3.7-million tonnes a year have seen it commission steel construction company SMS Steel (SMS) to supply a 350-t basic oxygen furnace (BOF) converter, including a twin ladle furnace, gas cleaning plant, and corresponding Level 1 and Level 2 automation.

The project also marks a significant milestone for JSW Steel and is “a testament to the strong business relationship between JSW Steel and SMS” reinforcing SMS group’s position as a technology leader and preferred supplier in the steel industry.

What makes the BOF converter installation a significant investment for JSW Steel is the fact that it will achieve a maximum blowing capacity of advanced oxygen with its lance system.

Additionally, the project will be equipped with a “state-of-the-art” automation system, thereby affording users a 360º view of the plant, contributing towards the overall enhancement of production and operational efficiency.

In addition to the new steelmaking facilities, SMS secured separate orders in 2024 for a new 4.5-million-tonne-a-year blast furnace and a first-of-its-kind CSP Nexus – an integrated casting and rolling mill that can produce hot strip and plate with a maximum width of 2 600 mm on a single plant.

Together with the new blast furnace and the CSP Nexus plant, this project will enable JSW to produce the “highest quality” materials.

The new steel mill will go into operation in 2026.
