General 1.1 Overall presentation of project Shanghai Meishan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Meishan Iron and Steel Company), formerly affiliated to Shanghai Economic Commission, is an enterprise with sole state investment. Meishan Iron and Steel Company became a subsidiary of Baosteel Co., Ltd. when it was formed by the state in 1998, and in May 2005, it became a holding subsidiary of Baosteel Co., Ltd., as one of the 512 large scale state-owned enterprises receiving prior support by the State Council. During the 1990s, with the approval by the State Planning Commission, Meishan Iron and Steel Company used national loans with discounted interest rates in the technical transformation for over a decade in succession, and the production and technical equipment and the automatic control level of the Company reached the advanced level in China, some reaching the advanced international level, especially in the construction of steel melting, continuous casting, hot rolling and blast furnace system projects and the associated works, thus greatly upgrading its actual production capacity, and the technical content and added value of products. Meishan Iron and Steel Company has become a large scale iron and steel complex with the complete production flow of coking, sintering, iron melting, steel melting, continuous casting and steel rolling. In 2004, Meishan Iron and Steel Company had total assets of 13,225 billion yuan, and its steel output reached 3 million tons. At present, although Meishan Iron and Steel Company has the overall production capacity of 2,980,000t/a iron, 3000,000t/a steel and 2,890,000t/a hot rolling plates and coils, with the equipment reaching the advanced level in the country, it can only produce hot rolling products because its product matrix is not quite rational, therefore its profitability ability is not strong, and it is vulnerable to market risks. In the meantime, as Meishan Iron and Steel Company was one of the iron making bases of Shanghai before it became a subsidiary of Baosteel in 1998, its systems for making iron already had a long operation life and the key production facilities have become aged, with equipment level at comparatively backward level, and they have the problems of high overall energy consumption, low comprehensive utilization rate of resources and poor environmental quality. According to the new industrial policies of the state, the requirements for sustainable development of national economy and the strategies of Baosteel Co., Ltd. for its new round of growth, Meishan Iron and Steel Company will take the opportunity of Baosteel Co., Ltd. to speed up the construction of high quality steel products manufacture system and to further advance the construction of high grade steel plate production base, make the upgrading and transformation of system equipment upgrading as the start point on the platform of rational, professional and large scale division of work in Baosteel, introduce new processes, new technologies and new equipment to a rational extent with the world first-rate iron and steel production technological and research and development ability of Baosteel, to further reduce the overall energy consumption, improve the environmental quality and increase the overall 5  competing power of Meishan Iron and Steel Company. For this purpose, Baosteel has decided to implement the project "Product matrix and process equipment upgrading and technical transformation project of Meishan Iron and Steel Company of Baosteel Co., Ltd." with Meishan Iron and Steel Company as the leading investor and mainly on the existing factory areas of Meishan Iron and Steel Company, with small amount of land requisition in the surrounding areas. After the completion of this project, the production scale of Meishan Iron and Steel Company will be pig iron at 5,370,000t/a, converter steel (billets for continuous casting) at 5,300,000t/a, and steel materials at 5,030,000t/a, with sales amount reaching 7832.488bwy and profit 2132.89 million yuan; it will realize sufficient utilization of resources and the main economic indicators will be at the advanced level both at home and internationally. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the following upgrading and rectification and correction with an investment of 19.80539 billion yuan on the existing foundation of steel output of 3,000,000t/a: Add one 380m2sintering strant, for annual output of sintered ores of 3,912,000t, increasing the total output of sintered ore of the whole Company to 8,752,000t/a; Add one 3200m3 blast furnace, for annual output of molten iron of 2,464,000t, increasing the total output of molten iron of the whole Company to 5,374,600t/a; Construct 2 sets of 2
