The plant is locaed on the Jialing River in a very densely populated area. CSSC is state owned and employs about 18,300 people. The plant produced an average of 219,500 tonnes of steel products over the last five years. The steel grades were 44 peret carbon, 7 percent stanless and 49 percent high quality special alloy steels. The existing steel making facilities consist of ten small - electric arc furaces (EAF). The furmaces are of 1950's technology. Because of their age and condition and the lack of space, the fimuaces cannot be retrofitted to bring them into compliance with enviromental standards for air, water and solid wate disosal. CSSC is unable to consistently meet the product quality of specialty steels used in the transportation and machinery manufactuing industries because of obsolete facilities. These facilities are scheduled to be tom down in 1996- 1998. 1.1 Project Background CSSC has been designated a "key" company in the production of specialty steels in China and is expected to play a major role in the projected expansion of the economy. In order to effectively solve the pollution issues, it is proposed to build a new steelmaling plant capable of meeting environmental standards and to produce 450,000 tonnes per year of high quality semi-finished steel blooms. Major production equipment in the new plant will be a 100 tonne electric arc furnace, a continuous bloom caster, a ladle metallurgy furnace and a vacuum degasser. The plant will be constructed on a green field site five kilometers from the existing 6316R  PROJECT 4-5E9 SECTION I Page 2 plant. Cast blooms will be shipped by rail to be processed on the existing finishing mills. Environmental control facilites will include: * A baghouse for control of DC arc fuimace, ladle metallurgical furnace and furnace systems, and fimace raw mateial supply system. * A multi-function and anti-corrosion cyclone separator for control of boiler's fume.
