Decarbonization of iron and steel industry is progressing and there is a crucial need for breakthrough technologies. One solution is to reduce iron ores by hydrogen and melt produced Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) in Electric Arc Furnace (EAF).

This is a known solution for good quality iron ores (DRI- grade), but what about high gangue (blast furnace (BF) grade) content ores which are problematic for EAF’s? Metso Outotec DRI Smelting Furnace is our key technology for utilization of BF- grade iron ores in the future.

Join us for this first of two webinars where our Metals experts, Lauri Närhi and Timo Haimi, will present Metso Outotec as a company, our capabilities and general information about DRI Smelting Furnace. Our speakers will also share their insights on what are the main benefits of Metso Outotec DRI Smelting Furnace and why it is required in future steel production.

After this webinar, you will understand

  • Key technical aspects behind DRI Smelting Furnace
  • Placing of DRI Smelting Furnace in Iron and Steel value chain
  • How Metso Outotec can support you in testing, feasibility studies, process flowsheet and plant design, technology delivery and service

We also hope you can then join us for our second webinar on this interesting topic where we will go into further details on metallurgy and some of the more specific technical aspects of DRI Smelting Furnace.
