6. Mesabi Nugget • Iron Nugget And Coal Fines Client Request: Mesabi Nugget wanted to replace their existing iron nugget and coal fines mix from the discharge of their existing cooler to a “new” surge bin inside their processing building in Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. “Replacing inexpensive fixes with a quality system has increased plant reliability!!! P R O J E C T O V E R V I E W Design Challenge: The challenge was to design, fabricate, and deliver to the site in time for their September, 2011 outage – beginning engineering in April, 2011!

7. ICD Group provided complete design engineering services, fabrication, delivery to the site, and complete site supervision for four (4) replacement conveyors. These conveyors were truss type initial design, but allowed for a “future” gallery to enclose these “dual” conveyors. Two (2) “dual” conveyors from the cooler to a “new” surge bin and two (2) “dual” conveyors from the surge bin to the new storage/surge bin inside the processing building were delivered for installation during the same month’s outage. This involved some 1,400 ft. of 36” wide X 5 ft. deep truss sections; with support bents and gravity take-up sections. Working closely with the construction crew , ICD’s site supervisors received the truck deliveries and staged these in an order that could be erected in the shortest time possible to meet the tight deadline. The system was brought on-line in early October with “virtually no problems and is producing up to capacity with no ongoing maintenance issues.” S O L U T I ON

8. A. Finkl and Sons• Lime and Alloys “Increased productivity four (4) fold….” • Client Request: • A. Finkl and Sons requested a complete • alloy handling system to receive both Lime • and Alloys from trucks, transfer to Day Bin • Storage and then reclaim from “pre-weighed” • Day Bins to either EAF, LMF, or VTD. P R O J E C T O V E R V I E W • Design Challenge: • One (1) enclosed truck unloading station and ten (10) Day Bins (each on load cells); • transfer conveyors to • Holding Hopper and “pivoting” conveyor to ladle at tap at the EAF; • Transfer conveyors to Batch Holding Hopper at LMF (complete with “bad batch” chute to grade or loading to hopper “buggy” to transport small amounts of alloys to VTD).

9. ICD Group designed, fabricated, delivered and provided on-site supervision to oversee the contractor. The system included a Level 2 PLC control system with remote I/O to interact with the “Master” control system at the EAF supplied by SMS Siemag. With only a staff of six (6), the system was erected and completed within projected schedule of three (3) months. The alloy handling system was brought on line with “no-difficulties” and the client was more than impressed with its operation. S O L U T I ON

10. Nu-Iron Trinidad • Iron Oxide Pellets “From order placement to delivery this system took only 4 months and now screens up to 600 MTPH with up to an additional 5% fines removal, producing a higher quality DRI product!” Client Request: Nu-Iron Trinidad requested a system addition to their existing primary screening system for iron oxide pellets. Design Challenge: ICD was asked to tie into their existing system and “add” a secondary screening station that would remove an additional 3 – 5% of ore fines and transfer the “overs” or usable iron ore back into their conveying circuit to deliver iron ore to a MegamondMidrex DRI Module. P R O J E C T O V E R V I E W

11. ICD Group designed a new conveying system, secondary screen tower, fines removal conveyor, and transfer conveyor system to tie into the existing circuit delivering iron ore to the DRI module. A 600 MTPH Kinergy screen was purchased to screen the product. ICD Group provided a tower enclosure for this screen and associated fines removal conveyor and chute work to the existing conveyor circuit to the DRI module. The system was installed during a five (5) week outage and then placed “on-line”. The system now removes up to 5% of additional fines and transfers better product to the DRI module. This helps to reduce the fines for the end DRI product made at this location and transcends into a better shippable product to the various Nucor mills in the States. A complete remote I/O control system was provided to tie into their central control system. S O L U T I ON
