Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Plant, Sponge Iron Plant

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is the product of the direct reduction of iron ore in the solid state by carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from natural gas or coal. See more information about the production of DRI.This reduction takes place in the temperature range 800- 1050 degrees C when reducing gases; mainly Hydrogen and Carbon-monoxide; react with the iron oxides to produce iron. The degree of metallization, defined as the extent of conversion of iron oxide into metallic iron, is 92-96% in a typical DRI process. This high percentage of metallization makes DRI a highly suitable input for steel making. The specific investment and operating costs of DRI plants are low compared to integrated steel plants and are more suitable for many developing countries where supplies of coking coal are limited. This holds true for India where most of the coking coal has to be imported.

Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) Plant, Sponge Iron Plant Features:

Most gas-based direct reduction plants are part of integrated steel mini-mills, located adjacent to the electric arc furnace (EAF) steel plant. DRI can be either hot or cold charged to the EAF. Some steel companies ship DRI from their captive direct reduction plants to their remote steel mills and a small volume of DRI is sold to third parties.
