Tata Steel plans to reline the Queen Anne blast furnace at its Scunthorpe, UK, plant at a cost of $77 million, or over Rs 400 crore. The project may be completed before the plantÂ’s 60th anniversary in April 2014.
Relining will raise efficiency and capacity of the furnace as it involves replacement of the brick and refractory lining, replacement of copper mantle plates and copper stack cooling plates.
Relining also involves improvements to the water distribution system and repairs to the gas cleaning system, among other things.
This project is reportedly part of the overall plan of the firm to revive the European operations announced in 2011.
