In order to increase their production of steel plates to 7.5 million tons/year, ArcelorMittal Tubarão faced the challenge to increase sinter plant productivity from 34.00 t/d/m 2 to 42.00 t/d/m 2. This was achieved in June 2006 through three main actuators: raw materials, stabilization and optimization of the current equipment and implementation of new technologies.
