✧         ECIA-M stockyard at Fushun New Steel

CISDI’s patented ECIA stockyard creates green, smart and super efficient yards.

Model M will be built at Fushun New Steel, a private company in Fushun City in China’s Liaoning Province.

Its construction will enable around 270,000 tonnes of raw materials and fuels to be stored. The yard’s footprint will take up only 22,000 square metres, a 70 per cent reduction of land used for a conventional mechanised yard.

Storage capacity will be greatly increased. CISDI’s ECIA-M solutions will make the best use of Fushun’s limited land availability, fitting in the new yard and also earmarking further space for future development.

A highlight of the stockyard’s construction lies in the building of photovoltaic power generators on the roof to an EPC mode - the first of its kind created by CISDI.

ECIA-M stockyards have also been applied at Ruifeng Steel, Taihang Steel’s phase I and II, and Baosteel’s Desheng and Meishan plants. Their remarkable performances are showcasing CISDI’s unique competitiveness in green, smart stockyards.

 

✧         ECIA-C stockyard at Jiuquan Steel

CISDI will build three ECIA model C stockyards at Jiuquan Iron and Steel Co in Jiuquan City in China’s Gansu Province.

Each yard building features a single span of over 100 metres.

CISDI is creating an ever deeper strategic relationship with JISCO.

Contracts for three model C green, smart stockyards were awarded in early 2022 and are being designed, supplied and constructed at the Hòa Phát Dung Quất Plant in Vietnam.

CISDI’s model C is dominating the market in China, where the company is now a pacesetter for state-of-the-art metallurgical stockyards, and in addition its green, smart solutions are delivering outstanding solutions in a wide range of specifications around the globe.

Technology highlights of CISDI’s ECIA stockyard:

1) Patents

ECIA stockyard has been granted patents from China, Japan, the USA, Brazil and EU.

A winner of China’s outstanding patent, it’s the only technology to achieve eco-friendly, super-efficient storage of bulk materials in multiple varieties and high volumes, enabling integrated material blending and proportioning and intelligent controls.

It has been top of the list for Chinese steel producers wanting to increase their green credentials while conserving energy.

2) Space availability

ECIA products more than double material storage capacity per unit area and reduce material losses by over 85 per cent.

Compared with a conventional stockyard with the same floor space, spatial availability is increased dramatically.

The reclaiming facility gives double the operational efficiency of a conventional stockyard.

As a result, ECIA tech offers far more competitive overall costs.

3) Environmental protection

A fully enclosed process is applied.

Different materials are stored by category.   

Dry fog (atomised air) or mechanical dust collection measures are taken to aid suppression of flying dusts onsite, preventing them from dispersing.

Zero liquid discharge targets are achieved at an ECIA stockyard, as industrial waste water is fully recycled.

Compared with a conventional open yard, the ECIA stockyard reduces material losses incurred by wind and storm by over 90 per cent. Materials stored and handled inside ECIA yards contain less moisture and conserve their heat energy.

ECIA application helps downstream production plants consume less energy.

4) Intelligent tech

ECIA’s intelligent expertise constitutes an intelligent logistics system, a digital yard system, unmanned stacker-reclaimer operation and an intelligent blending and proportioning system.

The intelligent logistics system creates optimal plans for process routes, saving energy while enhancing operational efficiency.

The digital yard makes automated inventories of materials, refining onsite management.

ECIA’s stacker and reclaimer ensures operations can be performed onsite without any manpower requirements, creating a safe, super-efficient and standardised environment.

The intelligent blending and proportioning system enables blended or proportioned ores to be more stable in quality.
