SIDENOR Commissions Water Cooling System
WORCESTER, Mass., February 20, 2001

The in-line, high-pressure water-cooling boxes incorporating Morgan Construction Company's Enhanced Temperature Control System (METCS) have been commissioned at SIDENOR's Vitoria (Spain) Rod Mill.

Ron Varo, Chief Metallurgist, who said that this was SIDENOR's first order with Morgan, noted that system was engineered and installed by Morgan-Europe, a subsidiary based in Sheffield, United Kingdom.

"The cooling boxes," he continued, "were installed and commissioned during the company's annual shutdown period. The Final Acceptance Tests (FATs) were completed soon afterward," he added. The installation of the cooling boxes at the Vitoria plant, a single-strand combination rod and bar mill, was part of a phased modernization program of the SIDENOR mills.

The Vitoria mill produces a wide variety of plain-carbon, low-alloy and stainless steel rods for the automotive and general engineering industries.

Morgan Construction Company, is a designer and producer of high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metal industry worldwide.
