The Last Tapping

Photo: The Last Tapping

Rue Puits Cecile, Seraing, Belgium with the Cockerill Sambre / Arcelor blast furnace HF 6

If plans don't change, HF 6 will see its last tapping seven days from now. Then, the lights will go out in Seraing. Within the next few years, the entire region will follow: it is the starting signal for the closure of all Arcelor hot metal plants in the Liège region, including another blast furnace, a sinter plant, a BOS steel mill, a continuous caster and rolling and finishing mills.
