PRODUCT LINE
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is considered to be the steel industry’s preferred metallic charge material due to its numerous advantages & the MIDREX Process can produce, discharge and transport DRI in the form best suited to the application.
Cold DRI (CDRI)
During the reduction process, the Iron Oxide Pellets are converted into DRI at high temperatures. After reduction, the DRI is then cooled in the lower part of MIDREX shaft furnace at 50 ° C. Prior to storage / dispatch the cold DRI is passivated in the yard to prevent reoxidation and loss of metallization.
Hot DRI (HDRI)
DRI can be transported to an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) adjacent to the DRI Plant at up to 650°C – 700° C to take advantage of the heat that allows the steelmaker to increase productivity and reduce production cost.
Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI)
HBI is a compacted form of DRI that is preferred for the merchant metallic market as it is much more dense than CDRI. This reduces the deoxidization rate minimizes yield loss due to breakage. This enables its handling and transportation without special procedures under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) code for the shipment of solid bulk cargoes.
Environment Friendly Technology
Currently, Gas based DRI is the most environment friendly technology versus the existing conventional steel making through the Blast Furnaces.
The ratio of carbon emissions of the Blast Furnace route of steel making versus DRI / EAF route of steel making is:
2.5 : 1
These days, for being environment friendly, DRI internationally is termed, “NAME OF THE GAME” in steel sector. Rapidly replacing Blast Furnaces with EAFs backed by the DRI Plants.
