Trends in

Iron Ore Mining

IS MT IR TY AG



Why Pelletizing?

Global Decrease of Lump and Sinter Feed Ores

This tendency makes the utilitsation of fine and ultra

fine ores more and more important in next decades, for

which pelletizing is the only industrial scale proven

process.

Good Bed Permeability and Reducilbility

Due to the spherical shapes and the high porosity of

the pellets a high bed permeability and a high

reducibility of pellets is achieved, which is leading to

less energy consumption in the downstream processes.

Uniform chemical analysis

By beneficiating of ultrafines a very constant quality is

achieved leading to constant operation conditions.

Easy handling and transportation

By induration an excellent strength of pellets for further

handling and processing is achieved.

Design Criteria

Circular Grate technology is based on proven design of straight grate

Simple and robust design of equipment and gas flow

Circular design and small footprint of induration furnace with efficient

and optimized equipment utilization

Location of Circular Pelletizing Plant not necessarily at mine site, but also

at steel works or direct reduction plants

Production of high quality Blast Furnace and Direct Reduction grade

pellets as well as Manganese pellets


Characteristics and Design Criteria

The Induration Process in Circular Arrangement

IS MT IR TY AG



By careful design of the pallet cars and the drive system combined with a

detailed stress analysis of the complete system a reliable and easy

maintainable indurating machine could be realized.

Technical Challenges during Engineering

IS MT IR TY AG



By simulating the process gas flows inside the indurating hood the

optimum arrangement and specific power of the burners could be defined.

Plant Layout 2.5 Mtpa CPT + Midrex 1.7 Mtpa DRI Plant

CPT Plant Combinations:

By the production of DR-grade pellets the

next generation module size of CPT plants is

the ideal basis for a MIDREX® 1.7 Mtpa DRI

Advantages of CPT

IS MT IR TY AG



Compact plant layout, low building profile, short process air

ducts, completely standardized equipment

Efficient use of indurating machine because only 25% of pallets

cars not inside the furnace

Lowest weight of equipment and structural steel compared to

straight grate and rotary kiln pelletizing plants of similar capacity

Low overall CAPEX, specific investment costs comparable with

large pellet plants

Modular CPT concept for larger pellet capacities allows the

flexibility of producing different pellet qualities and quantities

specificlly to the market and Customer requirements

Benefits of CPT


Advantages

IS MT IR TY AG



Excellent pellet quality as produced in straight grate induration

machines (BF vs DR grade pellets)

Low OPEX due to the compact layout (e.g. short process ducts)

and also due to use of various energy source for firing process

(e.g. indigenous coal via direct gasification)

Flexibility to define plant location: at mine or in steel plant site

due to low space requirement

Maintenance friendly: short shut-down time for pallet grate

exchange

Fully automated process control and plant operation
