Hello
I am going to the information of the nearby factory (4km)
the electric ovens are fed by a scrap bottom then it is completed with pellets, these pellets are treated are up to 75% iron.
The product produces a quality cast iron which then passes through a converter to make it into steel.
Originally this factory produced paint pigment and titanium, the by-product was cast iron, now it produces steel billets,
I can assure you that there is no blast furnace converter to process the melting of the pocket electric furnaces to make alloy steel, nickel, chromium, manganese, finally all their recipe, but no blast furnace ..
A pilot plant in Australia is experimenting with the use of dumplings only in an electric oven.

Sidbec-Dosco transforms iron ore pellets and steel scrap into liquid crude steel, through a series of iron and steel manufacturing units. Sidbec's two Midrex installations reduce direct reduction iron pellets. It is the only direct reduction iron plant of this type in Canada. The direct reduction iron is melted with scrap and pig iron in two electric arc furnaces, which transform this metallic mass into liquid steel. Two continuous casting machines solidify the liquid steel and transform it into steel bars and billets. A 60-inch Steckel hot strip mill turns molded bars into hot rolled strips. Two 52 "reversible cold rolling mills then transform the hot rolled strips into thinner cold rolled strips. The molded billets are processed in the bar rolling mill.
