Nature resources are very limited, so we, people, understand our responsibility in terms of their rational use. This issue is critical for industry as a whole, and in particular, for the metallurgical industry, which today focuses on the optimization of production processes regarding the consumption of natural resources.
Excursion into history
Kamenskoye initially, at the end of the 19th century, was an industrial center - at first a small, "grouped" around the metallurgical plant under construction. Then, with the growth of the population and the emergence of new industries, the village turned into a city. In the eighties of DMK, becoming a plant, that is, an enterprise with several full -fledged completed industries, was already one of several large industrial enterprises of the city - along with a coke, Dneprazot and a cement plant. And its negative impact on the environment was an equivalent “share of participation” of other plants. But, unlike the rest, it was DMK who raised the issue of resettlement of citizens away from the industrial zone and began to take real and rather serious steps.
The construction of the “sleeping” left -bank housing massif provided for moving to the other side of the Dnieper, at least the entire population of residential buildings from Pelin Avenue (now - gymnasium avenue). The project was not fully implemented, but the houses closest to the territory of the plant and streets were settled. And in parallel with this, a huge work was done to introduce new, modern technologies at the enterprise and the construction of new industrial units with advanced and effective gas treatment plants, providing for a significant reduction in atmosphere emissions, reducing wastewater and soil pollution.
old Marten’s stoves changed modern converters and MNLZ with powerful gas cleaners, massive Domns of the American type, built before the Second World War, are the last generation domain stoves, for example, DP No. 1-M, equipped with an entire treatment complex in the foundry and loading structure of the furnace.
The dynamics of reducing emissions of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere is clearly traced in the last three decades. So, in 1987, DMK emissions actually amounted to 260 thousand tons of harmful substances, in 1997 - 113 thousand tons, in 2008 - 103 thousand tons, in 2016 - 84 thousand tons.
Modernization of production - with a "green" bias
Over the years, DMK manages to stably reduce the harmful effects on the environment, rationally and effectively
