SUMMARY:HIsarna pilot plant operations: An update
DESCRIPTION:HIsarna is a new and breakthrough process for the production of liquid hot metal from iron ore. It is a smelting reduction ironmaking process which is being developed by Tata Steel at the site in IJmuiden, the Netherlands. It will reduce CO2 emissions compared to the blast furnace route and the process is also ideally suited for combination with carbon capture technology. A CO2 emission reduction of 50% without carbon capture has already been demonstrated.
The pilot plant has been in operation in campaigns since 2011 and significant modifications were made to the plant between the different campaigns. In the past few years significant steps were made to achieve stable process conditions and the focus is now moving more and more to plant reliability and availability in order to extend the duration of individual process runs and improve productivity.
In addition work is also ongoing to increase circularity and valorise revert streams in order to maximise sustainability.
This paper will address the most recent process results and some of the ongoing initiatives at the HIsarna pilot plant.
