Hot briquetted iron (HBI) is a premium form of direct reduced iron (DRI) that is compacted and densified into briquettes. It is produced by reducing iron ore in a furnace, such as a rotary kiln, using natural gas or coal. The resulting HBI is then compacted into a dense, easy-to-handle product that is suitable for use in electric arc furnaces (EAF) and blast furnaces.
HBI has several advantages over traditional pig iron or scrap steel as a raw material in steelmaking. Its compact and consistent form makes it easy to transport and store, and it has a higher iron content than pig iron, resulting in lower energy consumption and higher yields in the steelmaking process. HBI also has a lower level of impurities compared to scrap steel, resulting in a higher-quality final product.
Our HBI products are made from premium quality raw materials, using advanced production processes that ensure consistent quality and reliability.
We work closely with our customers to understand their unique requirements and develop customized solutions that maximize value and efficiency. Our commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles ensures that our HBI products are responsibly sourced and produced.
