Abstract
At Aperam South America, high moisture content in the iron ore and pellets that make up the blast furnace burden is already a reality, mainly because of the moistening carried out during loading of cargos in the suppliers’ facilities or owing to the rain-season climate conditions of the region. The high moisture percentage in the burden causes major disturbances in the blast furnace process with loss of production and higher charcoal consumption. This paper describes the steps of project development and implementation of a dryer for iron ore and pellets used in the No. 02 Blast Furnace, and the results of the project.
