Project objectives:
Increasing the capacity of steel making plant by 600,000 tpy and improving the quality  of the produced steel.
The supplied equipment consisted of No. 4 ladle furnaces, changing the existing 8 electric arc furnaces tapping mechanism to E.B.T. , oxygen-natural gas and carbon lancing, and Argon blowing.
All activities were carried out concurrently with the continuous production of the plant.
The project which was a joint venture between IRITEC and IRASCO was completed successfully in May 1999 and is now under operation.

Two 310 t/h walking beam slab reheating furnaces have been installed and commissioned in the hot strip mill plant of Mobarakeh steel Company. By installation of these two furnaces, four reheating furnaces are now available.
The first furnace was installed and commissioned in Nov. 1999 and the second furnace in March 2000. The project was a joint venture between IRITEC and IRASCO. The installation of the furnaces was carried out without any interruption of the production operation.
By addition of these furnaces together with other modifications mentioned here, the hot strip mill has reached the installed production capacity of 4,200,000 tpy.

This project consisted of design and installation of a new rolling mill stand (F7) and necessary modification of existing stands (F5 & F6) with the target of increasing the production capacity of the plant from its initial 2.4 mty up to 3.2 mty. The execution of the project which was a joint venture between IRITEC and IRASCO took 28 months and was completed successfully in Nov. 1998, and now is in operation. Most activities were carried out concurrently with the continuous production of the plant.

In this project the existing single pass roughing stand has been modified to a reversing stand, thus upgrading the roughing train annual capacity to 4.2 mty. In Coilers area the existing pneumatic coilers are modified to hydraulic ones and three coil strapping machines have been installed. The project which was a joint venture between IRITEC and IRASCO was completed in Dec. 2001.

Irasco is also involved in the overall expansion project of Mobarakeh Steel Company in consortium with SMS Demag and Techint Spa.
The contract, on a buy-back basis, has been awarded by Mobarakeh Steel Company to the above mentioned Consortium in January 2000 for a total of 299.5 million Euro. The project consists of:

• revamping of iron making area
• new gas turbine power generator
• new oxygen plant
• revamping of electric arc furnaces, and continuous casting machines in steel making area
• revamping of hot strip mill
• revamping of tandem cold mill
• new pickling line
• new skin pass line
• new recoiling line
• revamping of power, and utility distribution network

The components for the equipment manufactured in Iran and the total spare parts of the project have been supplied by IRASCO.
Apart from cold rolling mill area, projects in all other plant units have been completed and new equipment are now in operation. Commissioning of cold mill area is foreseen in 2005.

In the frame of Mobarakeh steel Company's 1st expansion plan (4.2 mt phase), it was decided to add a direct reduction module for production of 800,000 tpy of DRI. The project named "Module F" is carried out by IRITEC, and the foreign equipment have been supplied by IRASCO.
