Objective

The overall objective of this project is to establish a production practice for iron ore pellet production, ensuring a higher and more consistent pellet quality for the European steel industry. It includes improving the controlling technical parameters in the total pellet production chain and the development of model-assisted operation of an induration plant. This project will provide the European steel industry with a better knowledge of the influence of pellet quality parameters that affect blast furnace operation.
