ESL Steel Limited, a Vedanta Resources subsidiary, and Danieli Corus have signed a contract for the replacement of the vessels of both of the 60 tonne converters at the Siyaljori, Jharkhand plant - located east of Bokaro Steel City. The vessels, which have a detachable bottom, will be upgraded to vertical Lamella-type and horizontal DANIELLA suspension systems.

The upgrade of the two converters, which is the first such project for Danieli Corus in India, reflects the ambition of ESL Steel Limited to implement state-of-the-art technology and increase the efficiency and stability of their operations, while relying on the longest possible lifetime capability.
