How is
Steel Made?
1. RAW MATERIALS
Raw materials (coal,
iron ore, recycled
steel) arrive by ship,
truck and train to
Dofasco’s facility.
2. COKE PRODUCTION
3. IRON PRODUCTION
Dofasco has 3
coke plants on
site that convert
coal into coke.
Dofasco has 3 Blast
Furnaces that
convert iron ore
and coke into iron.
Coke Plant
Blast Furnace (BF)
4. STEEL MAKING
Rail cars take molten iron
to steel making furnaces.
Dofasco has 2 furnaces –
the KOBM Furnace and
the Electric Arc Furnace.
Steel Making Furnace
5. FINISHING
Heat treating, galvanizing
and other finishing
processes produce final
steel products that are used
by manufacturers.
Continuous Casting
makes solid slabs of
steel.
6. CONSUMER PRODUCTS
Flat Rolled Steel
What is an
MOECC Site
Specific Standard?
Site Specific Standards are designed to improve
environmental performance over time. Regulation
419/05, under the Environmental Protection Act,
phases in updated air quality standards developed
by the MOECC.
MOECC has three compliance options:
Demonstrate emission levels
within prescribed limits
Request Site Specific Standards
(SSS) focused on the reduction of
emissions over time
Register under a Technical
Standard
MOECC’s goal of the Site Specific Standard process
is “continuous improvement of emissions as new
technologies become available”.
Site Specific
Standards at
ArcelorMittal Dofasco
ArcelorMittal Dofasco currently meets MOECCapproved emission limits for the following
compounds:
Total Suspended Particulate (TSP)
Total Reduced Sulphur (TRS)
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)
Benzene
What’s Next (2015-2020)
ArcelorMittal Dofasco is applying for Site Specific
Standards for the compounds listed above as
well as Manganese (Mn).
New MOECC Standards for Benzo(a)pyrene,
Benzene and Mn will be coming into effect in
2016.
