Primetals creates brand-new melting modern technology for low-grade DRI

UK-based plantmaker Primetals Technologies has introduced that it has actually signed a partnership contract with Austria-based refractory products, systems as well as services provider RHI Magnesita to establish a brand-new eco-friendly steel innovation to replace blast furnace plants.The new remedy is called the "Smelter", a heater powered by electrical power and also made use of for melting as well as the last reduction of straight reduced iron (DRI). Run along with a straight reduction plant and also an LD converter (BOF), the Smelter creates hot steel for the steelmaking plant as well as fluid slag that can be utilized in the cement market. With the new technology, carbon discharges will be minimized by an element of 6. The DR-Smelter-LD converter route can be made use of particularly for low grade iron ores. Additionally, the LD converter is maintained when the Smelter is applied. As a result, steel producers that run incorporated plants do not need to customize the rest of their manufacturing chain and also do not have to renew their qualifications when they invest in a Smelter. It will certainly likewise be feasible to maintain the blast heating system running while installing the Smelter, and to after that cease the use of the old equipment as quickly as the Smelter awaits operation.
