At the end of the May this year, the “Zaporizhstal” Steel Works filed an application to participate in the competition of the State Architectural-Construction Inspection of Ukraine (SACC) for the best industrial building in 2014. The largest industrial facility construction – hydrochloric acid pickling line in the cold rolling department №1 of the “Zaporizhstal” Steel Works will participate in the competition.
The active phase of construction of the hydrochloric acid pickling line in the cold rolling department №1 and acid regeneration plant (CPL-4) was started in January, 2014 and was put into operation at the end of October, 2014. CPL-4 – is the unique industrial facility in Ukraine that has no analogues. Its feature – is a fully automated production and excluding of the human factor in mechanism operation.

During the CPL-4 construction it was used 3.5 th.tonnnes of steel constructions, 13 thousand cubic meters of concrete, and 30 km of cable products. Industrial facilities area is 1.45 hectares. The value of project investments is about 762 million UAH.
CPL-4 has an ecological component – reducing emissions of sulfuric acid fumes by 83%, the total elimination of discharges in the Dnieper River of Cold Rolling Department №1, as well as improving the quality of the metal. The project uniqueness is that all waste acid from the production process is fed to the acid regeneration plant and fully regenerated and after fed back into production.
