Focus on "overall design solution" and create a brand with core technology. In overall design, CERI makes full use of metallurgical process engineering to realize the three major functions of steel plants. It takes building a green and intelligent steel plant as its mission and continuously integrates new industry equipment with self-developed advanced technologies such as process simulation system, scientific energy utilization model, and 3D digital collaborative design, so as to achieve the goal of optimizing customers' input and output and maximize the competitiveness and late-mover advantage of sustainable development of iron and steel enterprises. In recent years, it has completed a series of representative projects. Among them, 2.7 Mt/a High-quality Special Steel Project of Linyi Iron and Steel Investment Group Special Steel Co., Ltd. is the largest-scale long-process metallurgical project with all processes completed at one time in the field of high-quality special steel in China, and it has won a China Construction Engineering Luban Prize. HBIS Industrial Upgrading and Xuansteel Capacity Transfer Project is a ten-million-ton steel mill with the largest production capacity and the most advanced environmental protection and green control level in China, and it has won the National Quality Project Gold Award. The Old Area Retreating and Integration Project of HBIS Hansteel is a project with the largest general contract amount for overall relocation and reconstruction of domestic steel plants. The utilization rate of original equipment is close to 60%, realizing the maximum utilization of resources and an indicator of 0.43 m2/t steel, the most advanced in the industry. The Upgrading and Reconstruction Project for Environmental Protection Relocation of HBIS Group Shigang Co., Ltd. is the world's most advanced green, intelligent and efficient electric furnace and short-process special steel demonstration project. The New Special Steel Project of China Baowu-Masteel Group is the largest single special steel production base in the world. ESSB 2.7 Mt/a Project in Malaysia is the largest steel project undertaken by CERI in Malaysia in response to the "Belt and Road Initiative". The Hydrogen Metallurgy Engineering Demonstration Project of Zhangxuan High-tech is the world's first new generation of low-carbon hydrogen energy demonstration plant, with various indicators reaching the international leading level, marking a key step in the transformation of China's iron and steel industry from traditional "carbon metallurgy" to new "hydrogen metallurgy".
Adhere to "three pillars and two expansions" and strengthen the brand with achievements of main businesses. In the development of metallurgical businesses, CERI is guided by technology and driven by innovation and has formed a pattern of "three pillars and two expansions", i.e., three main businesses of "ironmaking, steelmaking, and steel rolling" and two special businesses of ultimate energy efficiency and green low-carbon development. It has a number of professional products with independent intellectual property rights and reaching the international advanced level, including intelligent environment-friendly stockyards, green and efficient long-life blast furnaces, rotary cutting top combustion hot stoves, China's largest duplex converter, Ceri-S1 green electric furnaces reaching the international leading level, the world's first φ1000mm round billet continuous casting machine (CCM), the world's largest-thickness (480mm) straight arc slab caster, the world's first compatible CCM for heavy-duty special-shaped billet and rectangular billet, full-line process equipment and control system for medium-thick slab, the world's largest (5.6m) thick plate rolling mill, China's first 5000mm constant roll gap warm straightener, China's first large slab walking beam heating furnace, China's first medium-thick plate roller-hearth heat treatment furnace, China's first high-speed silicon steel pickling tandem rolling line, the world's first high-speed (120m/min) electrostatic powder color coating unit, the world's largest (φ219mm) CPE push bench unit, China's first 120m/s high-speed wire rod production line, China's first 45m/s high-speed bar production line, China's largest BDM850 titanium alloy bar rolling mill, the world's first flameproof waste heat recovery system for full-temperature-range converter flue gas, the world's first 60MW subcritical blast furnace gas generator unit, and the world's largest 200,000m3 vertical converter gas holder.
Create "craftsmanship, quality and sincere construction" to build the brand with honors. With its rich experience in metallurgical engineering over the past 73 years, CERI has participated in the construction of national key iron and steel projects such as Baowu, HBIS, Shougang Jingtang, Ansteel and Tianjin Seamless Steel Pipe Plant, and also exported to countries along the “Belt and Road” including Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Over the years, it has continuously practiced its responsibility as a central enterprise to promote the "transformation from China products to China brands". It has expanded its overseas engineering business to 35 countries and completed 93 projects ranking the "world firsts" or "China firsts". It is the main force in China's iron and steel industry construction and an important participant in engineering technology export. As a leading enterprise in the national survey and design industry, CERI in the past 73 years has undertaken nearly 100 national and provincial/ministerial key R&D projects, presided over or participated in the preparation of more than 390 international, national, and industrial standards, won 21 National Science and Technology Progress Awards, nearly 600 China Patent Awards, national and provincial/ministerial scientific and technological achievement awards, and more than 770 national and provincial/ministerial excellent engineering design awards. It has obtained over 3,100 patent authorizations, including 630 invention patents and nearly 500 computer software copyrights. It has made important contributions to the development of the industry in terms of scientific and technological innovation, achievement promotion, and standard specification.
