In February 2011, Nucor Corporation, the premiere steel producer in the
Here is the original press release from the Tenova website.
This plant will produce 2.5 million tons per year of highly metalized, high carbon DRI (direct reduced iron) to Nucor steel plants. In terms of gas emissions behavior, this plant complies with the strictest EPA regulations for NOx and SOx output.* The HYL DRI plants also allow for selective capture of the CO2 in the exhaust gas. The CO2 can be sold as a valuable by-product.
Below are some pictures of the reactor as it makes its way from a barge to the site, then into the supporting structure.
By visually comparing the various vehicles, people, and other items around the reactor, you can get an idea of its immense size.
In a previous post, we discussed acquisition and analysis of various gas samples in and around this process. In a future post, we will discuss the gas analysis requirements of the storage silos that receive the product generated by the reactor.
HYL is a member of the Tenova Group. HYL
actively develops projects for direct reduction plants worldwide under the
Energiron brand name. They started up the world's first successful direct
reduction plant in 1957. Over 40 DR modules have been supplied worldwide since
then.
