Fused Cast AZS for DRI Shaft Furnace

Direct reduced iron (DRI) processes offer a promising pathway for decarbonizing steel production, enabling significant reductions in CO₂ emissions compared to traditional blast furnace methods.

As the ironmaking sector transitions from traditional blast furnaces to Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) technology, the industry is embracing more sustainable and cost-efficient solutions. Unlike conventional blast furnace operations, DRI leverages reducing agents such as hydrogen (H₂), carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH₄), and coal to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions. This gas–solid reduction process entails complex thermal and chemical interactions, demanding refractory materials capable of withstanding challenging gas-solid flows and interfacial reactions.

We lead the way in designing advanced refractory solutions specifically for DRI shaft furnaces, supporting the industry’s roadmap to carbon neutrality by 2050. Our innovative materials are engineered to deliver superior performance, durability, and environmental benefits,,including High Alumina, Mullite, and Fused Cast AZS refractories
