SIAD Macchine Impianti (SIAD MI) has been selected to supply an Air Separation Unit (ASU), to be installed in a steel mill in Elbasan, Albania.

The customer wanted to increase the production of its electric arc furnace for casting and cutting steel and consequently required an oxygen supply which the existing plant was no longer able to provide.

Drawing on its extensive experience in the steel sector, SIAD MI proposed replacing the old plant with a new ASU designed to meet the specific technical requirements of the metallurgical sector.

For the customer, Albametal, this was its first purchase from SIAD MI; the Bergamo-based company won its trust firstly, thanks to its reputation as a reliable contractor and then, to the support provided in all phases of the project, succeeding against the numerous proposals presented by various international competitors.

SIAD MI not only proposed the best technologies on the market but also optimized the project to obtain a cost-effective solution. Not an easy challenge in these uncertain times, but one that has been and is still being managed successfully.

The project, which started in the summer of 2020, will be completed during the next few months, with the delivery and installation of the new unit in 2022. Throughout the entire project duration, SIAD MI will provide the customer with the necessary technical and management assistance to optimally complete the project and integrate the new ASU into the metallurgical plant.

Internationally, SIAD Macchine Impianti has a worldwide network of agents and Certified Service Centers, in addition to its subsidiaries in Brazil, China, United Arab Emirates, Russia and Spain.
