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.
