Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) – Sponge Iron
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) – sponge iron with high metallisation and low impurities, produced via MIDREX/PERED technology for billets and TMT bars.
Sponge Iron, also known as Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), is produced through a reduction process that converts iron ore pellets or nodules into a high-quality metallic product. During this process, oxygen is removed from the ore, creating porous, sponge-like pieces that are highly efficient in steelmaking applications.
Our DRI is manufactured using natural gas-based reduction technologies such as MIDREX and PERED, ensuring high metallisation, uniform quality, and minimal impurities. These properties make it particularly suitable for billet production and TMT bar manufacturing.
