Direct Reduced Iron

Ardakan Steel Complex Co.

What is an Iron Ore Pellet?

The iron ore pellets are recharged in the furnace's direct reduction unit and reformed by gas at a temperature of about 800 to 870 ° C in the form of iron oxide in the form of reclaimed iron called "sponge iron". Sponge iron comes from the direct revival of iron ore, also called DRI.
The capacity of the sponge iron unit in this project is designed using 800 series technology with a capacity of 960,000 tons per year which in total requires about 1,400,000 tons of iron ore pellets as input material.
Supplying all iron ore pellets is foreseen for this project, as projected from the domestic market in Iran, and iron ore mines have created or are currently in the process of producing pelletizing capacities and can deliver the required quantities of the project.
