Application Note: Mittal Steel Depends Heavily On LAKOS To Keep Key Processes Running Efficiently

Few industries feature as many natural applications for LAKOS Separators than does the steel industry, and perhaps no single steel mill has implemented more solutions in these areas than the Mittal Steel plant located in Burns Harbor, Indiana (formerly Bethlehem Steel). Approximately 40 LAKOS Separators have been installed at this location since it opened in 1964. As of 2006, more than 25 were in operation in the plant.

As of 2007, Mittal Steel Burns Harbor Plate Inc. is a steel plate mill located in Burns Harbor, Ind. approximately 50 miles southeast of Chicago, Ill. The plant operates two blast furnaces and is capable of producing 4.7 million tons of raw steel annually. Mittal Steel USA Burns Harbor was formerly a Bethlehem Steel plant and has stood on its site since 1964. There is both a 160" plate mill and a 110" plate mill. The 160" plate mill has accelerated cooling capability and an in-line plate leveling capability for production of precise weight plate.
