ENERGIRON® DRI plant #2 reached 105% availability over the last 12 months
During the last twelve months, Emirates Steel DRP #2 has set new production and availability records of more than 2,000,000 tons of high quality DRI, operating for more than 8,400 hours (equal to 105% net availability) and for 315 days continuously without any stoppage, confirming the reliability of the ENERGIRON® technology. Emirates Steel operates in Abu Dhabi, two twin ENERGIRON® DRI plants, originally designed for a nominal capacity of 1.6 Mtpy of hot and cold DRI at 94% metallization and 2.5% carbon. The first plant had been started-up in 2009, while the second one in 2011.Both plants followed a smooth learning curve that resulted in 90% availability in the first three years for Plant #1 and 95% availability in only two years for Plant #2.
In 2014 both DRPs were upgraded from 1.6 to 2.0 Mtpy, reaching 100% stable production in only six months.Since then Emirates Steel is steadily operating the ENERGIRON® plants at their increased nominal capacity (2.0 Mtpy), producing high-quality hot DRI conveyed to the adjacent EAFs through the Hytemp pneumatic transport system, thus optimizing the downstream steelmaking process.
ENERGIRON® Team congratulates Emirates Steel on this remarkable achievement.ENERGIRON® is the result of the strategic alliance between Tenova HYL and Danieli to competitively serve the Direct Reduction plants market.
