Overview: Headquartered in Weirton, West Virginia, Weirton Steel has been in existence since 1910. It is the largest industrial employer in the state of West Virginia and is the eighth largest steel producer in the United States. This plant uses several types of industrial utility systems that are fundamental for its production processes. The Weirton project focused on upgrading the control systems and instrumentation on two department boiler houses, the power house, and the BOP boilers. The implementation of new and upgraded controls have resulted in substantial energy savings and improved productivity for Weirton Steel.
