many other applications. The recently
approved capital investment will allow the
mill to build a high-quality continuous coil
coating line that will have a thickness range
of 0.25 to 1.65 mm and widths of 890 to

Nucor Steel Darlington places order for vacuum degassing
unit and chemical energy package
INTECO has received an order from
Nucor Steel to supply steel refining technology
to Nucor’s Darlington mill in
South Carolina.
Nucor’s order to INTECO encompasses a
single-station vacuum degasser with a
capacity of 110 t, equipped with a mechanical
vacuum pump system. This ensures short
pump-down times and pressure curves
adapted to each steel grade. A special feature
is the design of the vacuum cover with a central
socket for all kinds of access such as
sampling, temperature and hydrogen measurement.
The first heat is scheduled to be
processed by the end of 2020.
In addition to this contract, Nucor will
equip the steel mill in Darlington with
INTECO’s automatic gas coupling system.
And by March 2020, a chemical energy
package including JetBOxes and burners
for Darlington’s Consteel EAF will be
installed by INTECO.
