Centerway Steel s Commitment to High-End Innovation and Sustainable Practices
Upgrading to high-end is the key path for Centerway Steel to enhance its core competitiveness. In the fierce market competition, only by continuously increasing the added value of products can we seize the market initiative.
"Each process is market-oriented, actively promoting the five new s —new processes, new technologies, new equipment, new materials, and new methods. We target low-cost clean steel and zero-defect quality products, relentlessly pursuing ultimate indicators, ultimate energy consumption, ultimate quality, and ultimate cost to boost the company s high-quality development," the general manager has emphasized multiple times at monthly meetings.
The company adheres to innovation-driven development, increases R&D investment, and deepens cooperation with universities and research institutions, breaking through a batch of key core technologies. At the same time, it continues to strengthen independent R&D, promotes benchmarking learning, and encourages and mobilizes employees enthusiasm and initiative in technological innovation. The company has achieved significant results in developing varieties, expanding specifications, enhancing quality, strengthening brands, and optimizing services.
To address environmental protection issues of steel pipes, it is necessary to approach from multiple aspects and continuously seek new ways and methods. First, strict environmental protection standards must be enforced during the steel pipe production process to achieve green production. Waste such as exhaust gases, wastewater, and solid waste must be effectively collected and treated to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment. Additionally, energy conservation and emission reduction should be emphasized in the production process, adopting new energy-saving technologies and equipment to lower energy consumption.
Secondly, during the use of steel pipes, effective pipeline protection measures should be taken to prevent leaks and seepage. This includes regular inspection and maintenance of pipelines, strict adherence to safety operation procedures, and the use of advanced technologies like intelligent monitoring systems to promptly identify and address pipeline issues. Moreover, corrosion protection measures for steel pipes can be enhanced to improve their service life and corrosion resistance.
The company has introduced advanced intelligent manufacturing technologies and equipment to comprehensively optimize and upgrade the production process. The fully oxygenated smart baking system has reduced the baking time per package and achieved a gas saving rate of over 74%, with a comprehensive cost saving rate of over 60%. The intelligent furnace heating system automatically optimizes and controls furnace temperature, pressure, and air-fuel ratio, improving the quality of billet heating and achieving a coal consumption saving rate of over 5%. The metallurgical bridge crane is equipped with a safety monitoring and management system, enabling remote monitoring and intelligent management of the crane, effectively preventing safety accidents. The laser marking robot system for steel coil has made the high-temperature, labor-intensive marking work easy and efficient. The application of these intelligent technologies and equipment has increased production efficiency, reduced production costs and labor intensity for employees, and brought significant economic benefits to the company.
