Charlotte, North Carolina, US-based Midrex Technologies has announced that, together with its partner Paul Wurth S.A. Technologies, Inc., it will build the world's largest multiple-product direct reduced iron (DRI) plant for Turkish steelmaker
Tosyali's mill located in Oran,
Algeria.
The new DRI plant will be designed to produce 2.5 million mt of DRI and have the capability to vary its production to produce hot direct reduced iron (HDRI) and/or cold direct reduced iron (CDRI) simultaneously without stoppage of production. It will provide
Tosyali's Algerian facility with greater production flexibility to produce high quality, low impurity steels as well as decrease their demand for imported scrap.
