Chapter 1805 Iron Ore Terminal

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the city still has differences on the planning of the large steel industrial park, it has reached a consensus on the planning of the first phase of the Tianjiang Iron and Steel Industrial Base project, and related work has been progressing.  The first batch of funds was quickly received. On the first phase of the base, various infrastructure constructions were first carried out according to the plan, including power, water and roads, etc. The first phase of Xinpu Steel's long-process steelmaking project, ThyssenKrupp's galvanized sheets  Project, Pohang's stainless steel project, and Abed's seamless steel pipe project also started construction of the factory area at the same time.  In addition to these basic construction projects, a key project in the park is the iron ore terminal supporting Xinpu Steel.  When we first selected the location of the park, we already considered the need for iron ore transportation, so we chose Shabang Town.  There is a fishing port in Shabang, also called Shabang Port. The bay where the fishing port is located is called Shabang Bay. The condition of the Tianjiang channel on the outer edge of Shabang Bay is not bad. Because it is located at the mouth of Tianjiang River, the main channel conditions are actually better than those of Gaoqiao.  The conditions in the port area are better, with channel conditions with a water depth of 15 meters, but the shoreline conditions are similar to those in the Gaoqiao Port area. There is more sedimentation near the coast. The water depth is only about 10 meters for 100 meters offshore, and only about 10 meters for 1000 meters offshore.  The water depth is only about 15 meters, and the area suitable for building a port is not very large. Therefore, when the port was first considered, Shabang Bay was not considered.  The shoreline conditions of Shabang Town are obviously not suitable for direct berthing of large ore ships. There are two plans for the construction of ore terminals. One is to transfer through other ports, such as building special iron ore terminals on outlying islands for transfer, including  Feiyang remembered that Pudong Iron and Steel did this in later generations. They built a special iron ore port in Majishan specifically for the transfer of iron ore. The annual throughput reached 50 million tons, surpassing many large ports.  Another option is to dredge the channel and port area, because it is not far from the main channel with a water depth of more than 15 meters. After dredging, it is not difficult for the offshore port area to reach the maximum water depth of 15 meters.  Of course, in order to prevent future sedimentation, regular dredging will be required in the future, but this is not a big problem.  The reason why Shabang failed to become a candidate for the new port area of ??Pujiang Port is mainly because it is located at the Tianjiang Estuary and has relatively strong winds and waves. Unlike inland ports, where berths can be built as long as there is a shoreline, Shabang Port is closer to the requirements of a seaport.  That is to say, it is necessary to avoid wind and waves. There is a sandbar outside the shoreline of Shabang Port, forming a natural breakwater and harbor, which is suitable for building a port. However, outside Shabang Bay, there are not such good conditions.  It is difficult to build a large port in Shabang Bay, but it is not a problem to meet the logistics distribution of the steel park. If the entire Shabang Bay is comprehensively and reasonably developed, it will not be a problem for the future bulk cargo throughput to exceed 100 million tons.  For Pujiang Port, Shabang Bay is a tasteless waste. It is a pity to abandon it. After all, the construction of a port is not only enough to have piers and berths, but also to have supporting railway and highway systems, port storage yards, and transshipment.  Facilities, if a port is built in Shabang Bay, a complete set of port facilities must be built. In comparison, although the channel conditions of the New Gaoqiao Port Area are not as good as Shabang Bay, the shoreline conditions are much better and can be built.  The number of berths and port coastline exceed Shabang Bay several times, so the previous plan of Pujiang Port has been to build Gaoqiao New Port.  Professional matters must be left to professionals. After the Shabang Bay Port Terminal project was put through bidding, the Architectural Design Institute of Tongqi University won the bid. Tongqi University has a very strong architecture department and also has rich port experience.  With design experience, they have been responsible for or participated in the design and construction of Gaoqiao Port and many ports along the Tianjiang River.  "For the design and construction of Shabang Bay Iron Ore Terminal, the design standards must be high" At the design meeting, Bao Feiyang told the design team of Tongqi University Design Institute that the design institute attached great importance to this project and sent out  A deputy dean who specializes in port architectural design led the team, which included almost all the elites in this field from the Design Institute of Tongqi University.  "As we all know, our country has become the world's largest steel producer for four consecutive years, producing more than 100 million tons of crude steel every year. Last year, the country consumed more than 250 million tons of iron ore, and the domestically mined iron ore that year Less than 200 million tons, while the imported iron ore reached more than 50 million tons that year. It is foreseeable that with the development of the domestic economy, our steel production scale will further expand, and it will not be a problem to reach one billion tons in the future. , and our consumption of iron ore will naturally increase. Although my country's iron ore production will also increase, in fact, due to the limitations of iron ore resources, the growth space of domestic iron ore production is limited, which means This means that a large part of the iron ore consumed by our increase in steel production in the future will be obtained through imports" The members of the design team of Tongqi University are basically elites. Except for one deputy dean who is a professor, the team There is also one associate professor, one doctoral student, and three master's students. At this time, college students are very scarce, not to mention doctoral students, and master's students.?Super academics, their thinking is also very quick. After hearing Bao Feiyang's words, a girl with black-rimmed glasses said in surprise: "Currently, the domestic steel production is 100 million tons, which requires 200 million tons of iron ore.  Fifty million tons. If steel production really reaches one billion tons, it will consume 2.5 billion tons of iron ore. Oh, it will consume 2.5 billion tons of iron ore every year. If the incremental part depends on  Import, that is 2.25 billion tons of iron ore, plus the 50 million tons that will be imported now, which means that we will need to import 2.3 billion tons of iron ore every year? " Others are also confused.  However, 2.3 billion tons. Although the specific data is not clear, in this era, large ports with 100 million tons are not common. 2.3 billion tons the total amount of imported goods every year is probably not that much!  Professor Chen Yusheng, deputy dean of the Institute of Design, smiled and shook his head: "This is just an estimate. There are many uncertain factors. For example, steel production has increased tenfold, and the goal of reaching one billion tons seems very far away. I won't say whether it can be achieved.  , even if we want to achieve it, it will probably take a long time.¡± The associate professor also smiled and said: ¡°I also agree with District Chief Bao¡¯s prediction of the domestic economic prospects. With the development of our economic and national strength, steel production will increase by ten percent compared with the current level.  It is not impossible. But the total steel production in the world should not be one billion tons now, right? There is no limit to economic growth, but the same is not true for the steel industry. As Dean Chen just said, pure growth  It may take a long time, and before that, even if there is no substitute for steel, our economy may have to upgrade and no longer rely on the steel industry!¡± Bao Feiyang smiled, what these two senior intellectuals said was already very special.  Save face for him. After all, he is the mayor of Huixun District and the sponsor of the design institute. Otherwise, Bao Feiyang really doesn¡¯t know if they will point at his nose and scold him for talking nonsense. After all, a billion tons of steel  The output is really amazing.  ¡°In fact, less than twenty years later, China reached this level.  "It will take more than ten to less than twenty years for domestic steel production to reach one billion tons!" Bao Feiyang said: "With the advancement of science and technology, many uses of steel will indeed be continuously replaced, but with the development of economy and the increase of demand,  Development will only be faster. After all, there are only about 20 developed countries in the world. Most people in most areas have not yet enjoyed the life of the developed world, so the demand in the future will be astonishing. ¡± ¡°But.  What the classmate Liu Ziyan just said is not right. You may not know much about the steel industry. Our country is a developing country and the original industrial base is relatively weak. Our current annual steel output is equivalent to that before the reform and opening up.  The total output in the past thirty years is even higher. However, for the statistics of steel production, we usually have two data, one is crude steel production and the other is steel production. These two data are different." "Crude steel!  What¡¯s the difference between output and steel output? Shouldn¡¯t all crude steel be processed into steel? Is there any loss during the processing?¡± Liu Ziyan asked curiously.  Bao Feiyang shook his head: "Of course not. Crude steel does have to be processed into steel, but steel is not necessarily processed from crude steel. For example, our Xinpu Steel's long-process steelmaking project, why is it called long-process steelmaking?  Project? Since there is a long process, there is also a short process steelmaking. In fact, the current steel plants in China are basically long process steelmaking. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, the output of long process steelmaking is actually declining. They are more  Mostly short-process steelmaking" "What's the difference between long-process and short-process steelmaking? Is the technology of short-process steelmaking more advanced?" Liu Ziyan asked, she was engaged in architectural design, right?  The situation in the steel industry is indeed unknown.  Bao Feiyang shook his head: "This is not a question of whether the technology is advanced or not, but two different processes. Long-process steelmaking is what we are doing now. It starts with iron ore, first makes iron, and then makes steel.  Short-process steelmaking is different. Short-process steelmaking does not use iron ore. They use scrap iron and scrap steel. "Bao Feiyang said: "Why there are more short-process steelmaking in developed countries is because their steel industry has been around for hundreds of years.  In the history of the United States, crude steel production in the United States exceeded 100 million tons as early as 1953. It reached 10 million tons as early as the last century, and exceeded 50 million tons in the 1920s of this century. It is conceivable that  After a century of accumulation, the United States has produced a total of steel. However, after being used for a long time, this steel needs to be scrapped. Therefore, Americans prefer to use scrap steel to melt it and re-make steel. This is not only environmentally friendly, but also reduces the cost per ton of steel.  The cost is lower. Currently, outside of China, the iron-to-steel ratio is roughly around 0.6, which means that about 40% of the steel is obtained through short-process steelmaking, and in the United States, it is as high as 50%"
