It is reported that OMK’s Sinarsky Pipe Plant has begun construction of controlled atmosphere furnace production EBNER Austrian Company for heat treatment of stainless alloy seamless pipes. The furnace is designed by EBNER for annealing of seamless pipes of up to 24 meters length in a controlled atmosphere.

As a result of the project, Sinarsky would increase the capacity of thermal processing pipes in a protective atmosphere by three times the company and would be able to significantly expand its portfolio of high tech products for energy and engineering industries.

The facility is scheduled to start operation in the second quarter of 2009.
