Brief Note PERED DRI Plant Performance in Shadegan
PERED DRI Plant in Shadegan Steel Complex was successfully commissioned and started producing DRI since 21st June 2017.Metalization as high as 95.8% also achieved during first startup.
At present plant is being operated with Production rate was @ 90 to 97 T/Hr. Oxide pellet quality is below par with the standard DRI quality pellets. Average pellets size and CCS are lower than standard values. Also the disintegration index was also high. Hence fines generation was very high. As the complete analysis of the pellets being used are not received from the client.
Even though the pellet quality was well below the standard, the Specific Consumption rate is near to the design values of PERED DRI Pellets.
