Abstract

As the quality of raw materials worldwide is constantly decreasing, affordable ore and ultra-fine ore grades will dominate the future of iron and steel making. The share of pellets in total iron production has increased steadily over the last ten years and the trend is expected to intensify in the mid-term and long-term. For this reason, more and more steel producers are looking for a future-proven solution to produce the pellets in the steel plant site – to become independent from the steadily rising prices for pellets in the world market and to achieve exactly the chemical properties that they need for an optimized production and improved product quality. Additionally, mine operators seeking specific ranges of pellets output were not able to relay on an efficient, compact and feasible technology. Siemens VAI‘s Circular Pelletizing Technology is the next step in the evolution of highly efficient, ultra-compact pelletizing plants. It is by significantly smaller than conventional plants and offers a completely new flexibility in integration and pellet production. Freeing iron and steel producers from rising costs for pellet supply – with the world‘s most compact pelletizing plant.
