H2-Change: Refractories under attack of challenging atmospheres during transformation process
2024-09-19 , Brussels Hall

Our modern industrialised society is facing a new challenge with regard to our own living environment. A change of mindset and a change of economy are therefore indispensable. We can call this a global green deal as the basis for a sustainable economy.
To achieve this goal, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. This is only one part, but it is very important. This will require a major transformation of industrial processes. The steel industry is in focus of this transformation because it has an alternative process that has a high potential for reducing emissions. The direct reduction process will be one of the main production routes for iron and steel in the future.
This presentation will explain the main process and compare the benchmark standard with the new developments (HIRON series) based on STEULER REFRACTORY LININGS more than 15 years of experience in direct reduction.
