SUMMARY:Metal granulation: A link in the decarbonisation challenges in integrated steelmaking
DESCRIPTION:The transformation of the iron- and steelmaking industry into a fossil-free production system is challenging as you need to maintain productivity and product quality throughout the transition. The transition will likely have to be carried out in several steps over time where parallel production in both old and new systems must be managed, and where it is important for the steel makers to always maintain the iron balance in the plant.

The introduction of a metal granulation unit can facilitate the transition by enabling the iron producer to operate without constraints from downstream steel-making operations and handle large excess pig iron flows during the transformation. 

Granulation of iron with the GRANSHOT process has proven to be an efficient way to resolve difficulties in the iron balance in integrated steelmaking plants as it decouples the ironmaking and steel-making operations when required, producing a ready-to-use granulated pig iron product (GPI). 
The process is today widely used for rapid solidification of various types of metals and has been well established on the Indian market for handling large flows of excess pig iron from the BF. 

In the GRANSHOT process, liquid metal is transformed into solid granules instantly using a high-capacity water granulation process. The process can handle large capacities, up to 360 tph, and can be implemented adjacent to the existing BF allowing granulation directly from the torpedo. The granulated pig iron product is well suited for handling in many metallurgical processes and can be used either as a part of the internal feedstock in the existing/new plant or sold as a commodity to other operators, as valuable iron feedstock.
