Danieli Corus, the supplier of tailor-made solutions for the primary metals industry, has announced that it has recently commissioned a Granshot pig iron granulation unit at Essar Steel in Hazira, India. The unit is capable of granulating 140-ton pig iron heats in less than one hour.

At the 10 million mt per year Hazira production complex, the Granshot facility is an important buffer between the pig iron sources, one blast furnace and two Corex® 2000, and the downstream refining and casting processes in the brand new steelmaking plant.

The produced granulated pig iron (GPI) is mainly used in the CONARC facilities. Surplus GPI is used as an alternative iron source or is sold as merchant pig iron.
