Severstal increases supplies to export markets and announces new opportunities for 2022

Severstal has shared its energy market outlook for 2022 and provided an overview of key achievements in 2021 at an on online media briefing. Dmitry Goroshkov, director of sales and business development, energy led the briefing, which highlighted that Izhora Pipe Mill’s share of exports in the order book increased by 11pp in 2021 compared to 2020, with large diameter pipes (LSAW) remaining a key product for the energy segment. Volumes supplied to export markets more than doubled in 2021 compared to 2020. Mr Goroshkov said: “2021 has been a very productive year for Severstal in the energy market. We more than doubled our export volumes and significantly expanded our sales geography. “Next year, we will continue to further build on this, focusing on offshore and sour service projects while expanding our wind energy and hydrogen trans- portation market presence.” Last year, the company significantly expanded its sales geography with shipments to a number of new regions, including South America (Brazil & Peru) and Canada. Severstal continues to

up with several market leaders with the goal of developing the best design and material solution for hydrogen pipelines as early as 2022. Severstal has also expanded its presence in the wind energy sector, aiming to support the continued development of the renewable energy sector in Russia to provide companies with more opportunity to reduce their environmental impact. WindarSeverstal, a join venture between Severstal and Renovables SL, has produced over 340 steel towers for wind turbines. Severstal www.severstal.com FEM plugs are available with pressure eliminator resulting in the possibility to connect couplings in the presence of accumulated or residual pressure without any problems. A miniature valve automatically relieves the pressure in the connecting phase. The new FEM series is resistant to vibrations and other mechanical stresses. Whether being used in mobile hydraulics, transport or construction industry, the process of connection and disconnection is designed to be fast and safe, with the locking sleeve as standard to avoid accidental disconnection.

develop mutually beneficial partnerships with customers in Europe, MENA, South and North America. In Canada, the company strengthened its co-operation with local distributors. Severstal also reported a significant number of new product qualifications. It is now qualified to supply to 38 new companies, including EGPC, GASCO, ADNOC, McDermott and ILF, bringing its total number of qualifications to 66 at the end of 2021. The company has continued to explore newopportunities, including in hydrogen transportation, and has partnered with the DNV GL Design and Operation of Hydrogen Pipelines initiative, teaming Motion and control technologies company Parker Hannifin has launched the new optimised FEM Quick Coupling Series, which offers an increased working pressure up to 350 bar and a decreased pressure drop for better flow properties. The revised and updated FEM and FEC series have profiles corresponding to ISO 16028 and exceed the technical requirements in the ISO 16028 specifications. They are compatible with other series complying with the same standard. The couplings offer a spillage-free disconnection, minimal oil loss during uncoupling and are also easy to clean as they have flat face valves/ bodies. The new valve design means that the couplings are cost effective and have a minimum pressure drop.
