Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / relating to oxygen enrichment at a steel mill

French term or phrase: conduite des installations de production

From a term in a contract between a company that provides oxygen to a steel mill. Here is the full context:

Description de l’Action TCO n°1: L’Action TCO N°1 vise une amélioration de la productivité du haut fourneau n°2 de l’usine de XXXX pendant l’arrêt décennal de maintenance du haut fourneau n°l prévu du 27 mars 2017 au 25 avril 2017, grâce à l’augmentation “à bien plaire” de teneur en oxygène pur contenu dans le flux d’oxygène fourni par AL à destination du haut fourneau N°2, au-delà de l’engagement d’AL prévu au Contrat de fourniture d’Oxygène, d’Azote, d’Argon et d’Air Comprimé signé entre les Parties pour l’usine XXXX, en date du 27 mars 2006 (ci-après « XXXX »), et nécessitant une conduite par (Company name) des installations de production spécifiquement mise en œuvre par (Company name) pour permettre l’enrichissement en teneur oxygène.

My proposed translation:

Description of TCO Action n°1: The aim of TCO N°1 is to improve productivity of blast furnace n°2 at the XXXX during the shutdown of blast furnace n°l for 10-yearly maintenance which is scheduled for the 27th of March 2017 until the 25th of April 2017, through the "discretionary" increase of the pure oxygen content of the oxygen flow to blast furnace n°2, (--) beyond XXXX commitment under the contract for the supply of Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon and Compressed Air to XXXX which was signed by the Parties on the 27th of March 2006 (hereafter referred to as the "XXXX"),

Does the end phrase simply mean that the company needs to set up a specific production facility to enrich the oxygen?

Et tout le reste me paraît intelligible, comme déjà mentionné plus tôt. Certes, "permettre l’enrichissement en teneur oxygène" est plutôt mal dit ; je comprends qu'ils voulaient dire "permettre d'augmenter la teneur en oxygène". Mais que des techniciens et ingénieurs ne soient pas de grands littéraires, cela n'étonnera personne ici.

Je ne vois aucun problème dans la phrase en français si ce n'est celui-ci : les deux "company name" concernent-ils une seule et même entreprise ou deux entreprises différentes ?

operation?

20:29 Feb 14

@Phil ... yes, it could be a mistake. But I think a reading where mis en oeuvre applies to conduite seems perfectly OK.

I'm not sure I can really see the problem ... doesn't it just mean "operation of the facilities specifically implemented by ..."? (So "operation is implemented", with no building of facilities). I can't really see that you've applied the final part involving mise en oeuvre anywhere in your proposed translation.

PS it's "hereinafter". The Hereafter is something slightly different. (Seriously, you can use "hereafter" in ordinary speech, but it means "in the future", not "in the remainder of this document").

Bashiqa, I think they mean increase the oxygen content in the furnace then? They said in the contract that they wanted to reduce costs by : limitant l’approvisionnement en coke au profit du charbon pulvérisé. Does increasing the oxygen content in the furnace mean they can use less coke and replace it with cheaper pulverised coal?

It says "mise en oeuvre" where I'd expect "mises", to agree with "installations". Or it could be agreeing with "conduite". This could be deliberate, or a mistake.

You can`t enrich oxygen as such, but can increase the quantity supplied by the plant. Blast firnaces use an awful lot of oxygen to increase the working temperature and burn off impurities. At least they did when I was an apprentice in the steel industry.

requiring that company A run the production plant specially provided by company B

Explanation:
is how I read it.

You have AM and AL for sure. Whether either or both of these are company A and company B I know not. At any rate, as far as I can make out, AL's gas production plant serving AM's steel plant is somehow being boosted to provide more of one of the gases required. This appears to involve special plant, but it is not clear if the manufacturer/operator of the 'basic' gas plant, AL, is also providing the special 'booster' plant or whether it is a third party. Nor is it clear, with the anonymity of the companies A and B, if AL or an unnamed third party, be it the provider of said plant or yet another party, is operating said 'booster plant', or whether AM is to run the booster plant (which I doubt since AM does not seem to be operating the 'basic' gas plant to start with).

une conduite des installations de production a level of control of production facilities

Explanation:
'..nécessitant une conduite par (one Company name) des installations de production /et/spécifiquement mise en œuvre par (the same or a different Company name) pour permettre l’enrichissement en teneur oxygène.'

'calling for a *level of* vs. operational control of production facilities by ... and specifically implemented / deployed by ... to enable / facilitate oxygen enrichment.'

The translation can also go a different way if the second Company name is different - unclear from the question,

You can`t enrich oxygen as such -> surely means enrich *with* or using oxygen.

'.. limitant l’approvisionnement en coke au profit du charbon pulvérisé. Does increasing the oxygen content in the furnace mean they can use less coke and replace it with cheaper pulverised coal?' Perhaps post as a separate question.

Otherwise, I - who used to clerk, albeit a long time ago, in a carbon rod, kiln-manufacture and crucible factory in London - am unsure how production facilities can be 'implemented', so agree with Emm. that it refers to the 'la conduite', but syntactically without the conjunction of 'e' could refer to 'production'.

Example sentence(s):

The purpose of production control is to balance the output of a facility to guarantee that the specifications of the products being produced are met.
Production control is the process of overseeing, managing, and controlling the tasks involved in producing goods or services.

Reference information:
Production turns (converts) inputs such as natural resources, raw materials, human resources and capital into outputs, which are products and services. The process is a form of conversion which is crucial in operations management.

Sorry
The title should be 'management of production facilities'.

Example sentence(s):

Building an overpass or road bridge is a complex and multidimensional process involving equipment and materials from various entities.
Earth movers, cranes, drainage and sewers, safety components, gravel, cement, and large objects such as steel girders must all be transported to the site according to a tight schedule and specific budget.
