What We Do

Engineering Design for DRI Plants

We offer comprehensive basic and detailed engineering services for greenfield and brownfield DRI facilities. Our engineering solutions include:


  • Feasibility studies and techno-economic modeling
  • Engineering and Design of Shaft-Based Reduction Furnaces 
  • Mass & energy balances tailored to fuel types (NG, H₂, syngas) 
  • PFDs, P&IDs, 3D modeling, and GA drawings 
  • Utilities and offsite system design (gas, power, water, steam)


Each design is tailored to ensure efficient metallisation, optimized resource utilization, and reduced specific energy and material consumption, while enabling long-term adaptability to low-carbon technologies.

Hydrogen & Decarbonization Integration

We build DRI plants that are hydrogen-ready from day one, integrating:


  • Hydrogen blending systems and 100% H₂ operation scenarios 
  • Process optimization for oxygen injection and thermal balance 
  • Interfaces for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) 
  • Renewable energy coupling for hydrogen generation


Our plants are engineered to meet global carbon compliance standards and support ESG-aligned investments

Plant Operations & Technical Support

Our engineers have extensive experience operating and supporting DRI plants globally. We offer:


  • Plant commissioning and start-up supervision 
  • Performance audits and operational benchmarking 
  • Gas consumption reduction and yield improvement strategies 
  • Troubleshooting and real-time technical support


We focus on maximizing uptime, enhancing throughput, and reducing operating costs.

Procurement & Supply Chain Engineering

We support end-to-end procurement strategy and execution, including:


  • Vendor identification, prequalification, and bid evaluation 
  • Sourcing of reactors, reformers, WHRBs, and auxiliaries 
  • Procurement of spare parts, refractories, valves, and control systems 
  • Supply chain risk management and delivery scheduling


Our procurement approach ensures quality, cost-efficiency, and on-time project delivery.
