Instead of sinter, the DRI process uses pelletised iron ore. But just like sinter, it still has to have the oxygen removed. This process is known as ‘reducing’. Instead of coke, the energy source used in the DRI furnace is natural gas. Again, the result is liquid iron. From the DRI furnace, the iron moves to the electric arc furnace on conveyors.
