Reduced CO2 emissions as well as pm10, SOx, NOx, durans/furans and
benzene compared to traditional blast furnace operations using sinter
plans and coke ovens. Clear and defined path to zero carbon emissions.
HIsmelt is the preferred smelter technology for the EU's ULCOS (Ultra Low
CO2 Steelmaking) program that aims to reduce CO2 emissions of the steel
industry by 90%
Ability to use lower grade raw materials which are not suitable for blast
furnace or DRI shaft furnace operation, including high phosphorous, high
alumina, and high titanium iron ores, C-fines (ultra-fine slag fines), mill-
scale, steel works slags, dusts, sludges, non-coking coals and biomass.
In addition, the raw materials are injected as powders and do not require
agglomerating into pellets or briqueGes.
Due to the elimination of front-end processes required for a BF operation
(i.e. no coke ovens and sinter plants) and DRI shaft furnaces (no pellet
plant) as well as ability to use a wide variety of cheap raw materials (see
above).
