SIMETAL Corex Prepared for Present and Future Ironmaking Challenges

摘要

Taylor made hot metal production with a special focus on resource saving and an efficient implementation into existing steel works are the key features of the new COREX/FINEX concepts. The ecological and economical advantages of COREX/FINEX are beneficial for existing production routes as well as for new ones. During the past years, market conditions and 'external' factors have also changed in favor of COREX/FINEX technology, e.g. mandatory environmental legislation, increased costs for metallurgical coal and an increased energy price. An answer to these challenges are the COREX 'Low Export Gas' and the COREX/FINEX LRI concepts. Developments and optimization of COREX/FINEX are still underway and major additional economical and technological improvements are yet anticipated.
