Direct Reduced Iron (DRI)
Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is an alternative to the blast furnace processes to produce a source of iron units. Greater availability of natural gas has replaced classic coke oven coal-based processes. Several processes are commercially viable today and they use a number of ways to achieve good quality DRI.
Refractories for DRI
Direct Reduce Iron refractory products capable of withstanding the impact of exposure to these gases, thermal shock, and erosion associated with the abrasiveness of the material processing demand excellent products which Resco Products has to offer. Commonly used products are Krial 50CM, Krial CFB, and Rescal 90XDC.
