Simplified and cost-effective process routes

Siemens VAI offers turnkey integrated projects based on more than 50 years of experience, and backed by global expertise and seamless project management capabilities. Our Integrated Compact Mill solutions are economical, sustainable, and reliable.

Using the Corex and Finex technologies, production of hot metal is greatly simplified, as the sintering and coking stages necessary in standard blast-furnace ironmaking are eliminated. Furthermore, Siemens VAI is a licensee of Midrex technology for the production of direct-reduced iron (DRI) from iron ores using natural gas. The close combination and linkage of DRI production with electric steelmaking technologies results in a compact plant layout and hot charging of the DRI to the steelmaking facility delivers additional significant economical benefits.

Siemens VAI services do not end with technology, however. From cost monitoring and planning to financing and execution models, our integrated solutions help keep investment costs to a minimum.
