On the morning of November 18th, local time in Vietnam, POMINA Steel Group held a grand blast furnace opening ceremony in the blast furnace area of POMINA 3 plant. The scene is full of flowers and banners, and the atmosphere is warm. Guo Chunyang, executive director and general manager of China Machinery Co., Ltd., sent a letter of congratulations. China Machinery Cooperative Representatives Zhang Yuheng and Chen Qiyuan attended the ceremony. In his speech, Mr. Do Tien Si, General Manager of POMINA, expressed his sincere gratitude to the cooperation and construction parties of China Machinery Industry Co., Ltd. for overcoming difficulties such as the new crown epidemic, cooperating closely, and actively promoting the progress of the project.
POMINA is one of the top three listed steel companies in Vietnam. It is located in Vung Tau province, Ba Ria, Vietnam. The blast furnace tested this time is the first 630m³ blast furnace in southern Vietnam.
CMC is responsible for the design and equipment supply of this project, as well as technical guidance for installation and commissioning. Since the start of the project in 2018, the project team members have worked tirelessly to overcome difficulties, strengthen management and coordination, strictly control quality, and actively promote the progress of the project with the close cooperation of subcontractors such as China Machinery Engineering. In the Spring Festival of 2020, the new crown epidemic broke out, and the project encountered problems such as difficulties in organizing personnel, difficult entry visas, severe shortage of management personnel, and difficulties in epidemic prevention and control due to cross-site construction. After multi-party coordination, unremitting efforts, and overcoming difficulties, it finally ushered in the ignition of the furnace and the first furnace of molten iron.
