This 4th of November officially marks the 150th anniversary of the Paul Wurth company, as it was on 4th of November 1870 when the judicial authorities of Luxembourg cleared the way for the creation of the “Kesselfabrek”, a boilermaking facility by the founder Eugène Muller in Luxembourg-Hollerich. Some years later his firm was taken over by and named after Paul Wurth, the farsighted industrial leader, who not only paved the way of the company, but also impacted the Luxembourg economy and th

At the beginning of 2020, SSAB EMEA AB has chosen Paul Wurth to carry out, on EPC basis, a revamp of parts of its coke battery at Luleå steel works in northern Sweden, which focuses on battery life extension and emissions reduction.Considering the harsh Scandinavian winter conditions, the replacement works were planned in two steps: preparation activities to remove existing constraints in summer 2020, followed by the main intervention for replacing the raw gas system and the ovens refracto

With the aim to improve the CO2 balance of their steel plant operations located at Duisburg Huckingen in the Ruhr region in Germany, Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH (HKM) has chosen Paul Wurth S.A. for engineering and construction of a coke oven gas (COG) compression and injection system for their two blast furnaces “A” and “B”.The new injection system will complement the already existing natural gas (NG) injection system, which was taken into operation in 2003 respectively in 2005 as

Sunfire has successfully delivered the world’s most powerful High-Temperature Electrolyzer (HTE) for highly energy-efficient hydrogen production to Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH. Within the GrInHy2.0 project, Sunfire’s HTE system with a rated electrical output of 720 kilowatts will be deployed in an industrial environment for the first time. GrInHy2.0 is another step by Salzgitter AG towards low CO2 steel production within the framework of the innovation project SALCOS® - Salzgitter Low CO2 St

In November 2019, ROGESA Roheisengesellschaft Saar mbH, Dillingen, Germany, awarded Paul Wurth with an order to design and supply coke oven gas injection systems for the company’s blast furnaces No. 4 and No. 5.With this new technology, coke oven gas becomes a metallurgical process gas that will partially replace metallurgical coke as reducing agent, thus contributing to lowering the carbon intensity in the blast furnace as well as the carbon footprint of the overall ironmaking operations.In p
