Tata Steel is set to begin a fourth test production campaign on the HIsarna pilot plant at its IJmuiden works in the Netherlands. The trial is scheduled to start mid-May and last for around six weeks.
HIsarna is a new technology, partly developed in IJmuiden, which enables the direct input of coal and fine iron ore into the iron-making furnace. The technology saves energy consumption by eliminating two of the key raw material processing stages in blast furnace iron-making: coking (the production of coke from coal) and sintering (the agglomeration of fine iron ore).
Pursuant to HIsarna technology proving to be technically and commercially viable, the elimination of these processing steps could reduce the emission of carbon dioxide from conventional iron-making by 20%.
Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 Company.
