This project marks the first greenfield MIDA installation in Europe, following 29 MIDA plants already supplied or under execution worldwide. The core of the MIDA-QLP lines for Quality Long Products are the Danieli-patented OctoCaster and the innovative mill layout.
The new MIDA plant is designed to produce over 700,000 tpy of deformed bars and compact coils. Danieli’s scope of supply includes a meltshop featuring a 75-ton EAF equipped with ECS continuous scrap-charging system, a 75-ton ladle furnace, a material-handling system, and a fume-treatment plant.
A 12-m radius continuous casting machine with octagonal mould will ensure consistent endless casting at speeds exceeding 7 m/min. The rolling mill will be comprised of housingless stands and a high-speed finishing block to produce straight bars from 10 to 32 mm, and spooled coils from 8 to 25 mm, with customized weights up to 5 tons.
MIDA-QLP is the only technology that enables true green steel production and the lowest achievable transformation costs from scrap to finished products, supporting sustainable operations.
Startup is scheduled for Q4 2027.
