Field Trip to Mass Iraq Steel Plant
On the 9th of October, 2021, AUIS-SPE members visited the Mass Iraq for Steel and Iron Industry located in Bazyan, Sulaimani. The plant is considered as one of the biggest projects in Kurdistan and Iraq. It consists of a smelter for pallet production, continuous casting machines (CCM), rolling mill for enforcement rebar production, and a factory for the production of industrial steel of small and medium sections.
The field trip has been useful in different ways for the students. The students have been exposed to some Health and Safety (HSE) processes, and how the factory operates. It is also essential to see in real life how much energy is consumed to reach the operating conditions of the process. They have also been introduced to the efficiency of the process in terms of energy consumption and how to provide better efficiencies with the same amount of energy addition.
We would like to give our sincere thanks and acknowledgement to Mass Iraq for Steel and Iron Industry for helping and guiding us through providing an insightful and informative field trip.
