The BOF, designed and manufactured by Germany’s SMS Group, has a capacity of 300 tons per heat and a daily production capacity of 9,000 tons, producing molten steel with low impurity levels. The systems commissioned alongside the RH furnace are seen as a significant step in preparing for the start-up of the No. 2 Blast Furnace. The full project is expected to be completed by September 2025.
The blast furnace at Dung Quat 2 has a volume of 2,500 m³, twice that of Dung Quat 1, and consumes less energy. The plant has invested beyond current environmental standards to reduce CO₂ emissions and energy consumption.
Hoa Phat Dung Quat 2 utilizes technology lines from European and G7 partners such as SMS (Germany) and Primetals (UK). In May 2025, Hoa Phat and SMS Group signed a contract to supply technology and production lines for the annual production of 700,000 tons of rail steel and construction steel.
Additionally, since mid-June, the plant has commissioned the No. 2 thick plate continuous casting machine with a daily casting capacity of 20,000 tons. Designed and supplied by Primetals, the machine aims to improve production efficiency, optimize product quality, save energy, and reduce operating costs.
