Visit of Middle Eastern and European Clients to 200,000-ton RHF Reduced Iron Production Line

Handan, May 20, 2024— To strengthen international collaboration and showcase achievements in green metallurgical technology, our company, in partnership with Hebei Puyang Iron & Steel Group, announced that it will open its 200,000-ton rotary hearth furnace (RHF) reduced iron demonstration production line at the Handan production base to Middle Eastern and European clients on May 22.

Efficient Construction and Stable Operations Drive Low-Carbon Transition

The RHF reduced iron production line was officially completed and put into operation in 2023, achieving full-process stable operations within just one year from planning to commissioning. As a core component of the group’s ironmaking process chain, the production line adopts globally advanced direct reduced iron (DRI) technology, efficiently utilizing metallurgical solid waste such as iron-containing dust and sludge. With an annual output of 200,000 tons of high-quality reduced iron, it significantly reduces carbon emissions and energy consumption compared to traditional blast furnace processes, setting a benchmark for the green transformation of the steel industry.

Technological Highlights and Global Collaboration Opportunities

Project leaders highlighted that the production line integrates intelligent control systems and circular process design, ensuring top-tier production efficiency and resource utilization."Through RHF technology, we have achieved 'zero discharge' of metallurgical solid waste while supplying high-quality, low-carbon raw materials for steelmaking," they stated. The open-day event will focus on demonstrating technological achievements and exploring collaboration models with international clients to jointly advance the sustainable development of the global steel industry chain.

Accelerating Internationalization Strategy

Our company has consistently expanded its global market presence in recent years. This targeted invitation to Middle Eastern and European clients aligns with the green development goals of the Belt and Road Initiative, aiming to deepen technical cooperation with overseas partners in low-carbon metallurgy and solid waste recycling. The Group’s General Manager emphasized: " Innovations in Chinese steel technology have gained international competitiveness. We look forward to sharing expertise and pursuing mutual growth through open dialogue with global clients."
