Site-specific targets

Avesta: reduce nitrate discharges to water by 10% and achieve 1 kg/tonne as a monthly average.

Wildwood: Improve wastewater recycling by reusing some in the pickling process.

Avesta: Complete 3 000 tonne Hydrosludge recycling test.

Sheffield melt shop: Reduce waste to landfill by 10% compared to 2008 volumes, through recycling.

Örnsköldsvik tube mill: Analysis of most optimal future waste reduction possibilities will be done in 2009.

Kemi Mine: Reuse 250 000 tonnes of lumpy rock and side rock from the Kemi concentrating plant to the underground mine

Tornio: Produce steel slag products amounting to 10% of steel production tonnages.

Sheffield melt shop: Find a way to return Filter press Slab Caster Backwash rejection sludge to the electronic arc furnace and use it as raw material. 

Avesta: Reduce electricity consumption by 3% from 980 to 950 kWh per tonne. Reduce consumption of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) by 3% from 66 to 64 kg per tonne.

Sheffield melt shop: Reduce specific energy consumption by 2% against reference year 2007.

Richburg: Reduce electricity consumption per million tonnes by 10% using 2008 as basis.

Avesta: The goal to reduce nitrate discharges to water by 10% and achieve 1 kg/tonne as a monthly average, was not achieved.

Wildwood: The goal to improve wastewater recycling by reusing some in the pickling process, was not achieved. The project was postponed.

Avesta: To complete 3 000 tonne Hydrosludge recycling test was not met.

Sheffield melt shop: The target to reduce waste to landfill by 10% compared to 2008 volumes was not met.

Örnsköldsvik tube mill: Analysis of most optimal future waste reduction possibilities was postponed.

Kemi Mine: The goal to reuse 250 000 tonnes of lumpy rock and side rock was not reached. The result was 120 000 tonnes. It was not possible to reach the target due to the temporary production stop.

Tornio: The target was achieved. 83 350 tonnes of steel slag products were produced, which means over 10% of steel production.

Sheffield melt shop: Trials to return Filter press Slab Caster Backwash rejection sludge to the electronic arc furnace were not succesfull, work continues.

Avesta: The goals to reduce electricity consumption by 3% from 980 to 950 kWh per tonne and to reduce consumption of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) by 3% from 66 to 64 kg per tonne were not reached.

Sheffield melt shop: The target to reduce specific energy consumption by 2% against reference year 2007, was not met.

Richburg: The target was not met. Due to current difficult economic situation, low capacity utilisation and temporary stops generally, all energy efficiency targets were not met.

Tornio: Produce steel slag products amounting to 32% of total slag production.

Degerfors hot rolling: Waste to land fill target 2kg per tonne

Kemi mine: Reuse 250 000 tonnes of lumpy rock and side rock from the Kemi concentrating plant to the underground mine.

Richburg Bar: Reduction of hydraulic oil consumption by 50%
