is an innovative ironmaking process based on the direct use of fine ore and non-coking coal. </h2></header><p>In the Finex process, fine iron ore is directly charged at the top of a cascade of fluidized-bed reactors, where it is heated and reduced to direct-reduced iron (DRI) by means of a reduction gas derived from the gasification of the coal in the melter gasifier. The DRI fines are processed into hot-compacted iron, transferred in hot condition to a charging bin positioned above the melter gasifier, and then charged into the melter gasifier, where melting takes place. The tapped product – liquid hot metal is equivalent in quality to the hot metal produced in a blast furnace or Corex plant.</p></div></div></section> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-3 grid-column"> <section id="c130" class="main frame-layout frame-layout-0 "><div class="container"><div class="frame frame-default frame-type-image "><div class="ce-image ce-center ce-above"><div class="rowce-gallery" data-ce-columns="1" data-ce-images="1"><div class="ce-outer"><div class="ce-inner"><div class="row ce-row"><div class="ce-column col-xs-12 col-md-12"><figure class="image"><img class="image-embed-item" title="Finex®" alt="Finex®" src="/fileadmin/user_upload/content/01_portfolio/1_ironmaking/finex/0106_finex_circle_.png" width="260" height="260" loading="lazy" /></figure></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></section> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="grid-row frame-layout frame-layout-0"> <div class="container"> <div class="row flexrow"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-9 grid-column"> <section class="main"> <div class="container"> <ul id="tabs-125" class="nav nav-tabs up"> <li class="active "> <a href="#e7e767d7c0e58b16e57d3ab16150db80" data-toggle="tab">Technology</a> </li> <li class=" "> <a href="#0a964878fbb5f6fcb397ee01c9a20923" data-toggle="tab">ECO Solutions</a> </li> </ul> <div class="tab-content"> <div id="e7e767d7c0e58b16e57d3ab16150db80" class="tab-pane active"> <section id="c148" class="main frame-layout frame-layout-0 "><div class="container"><div class="frame frame-default frame-type-textpic "><header><h2 class="h2__uppercase--bold"> Advantages of Finex </h2></header><div class="ce-textpic ce-center ce-above"><div class="ce-bodytext"><p><strong>Economic benefits</strong><br> The unique characteristics of the Finex process and its ability to use low-cost raw materials (fine ore and low-cost coal) mean that both capital investment and production costs are considerably lower compared with the blast furnace route. A 1.5 million-ton-per-year Finex plant produces hot metal more cost-effectively than a modern 3 million-ton-per-year blast furnace. Also considering oxygen and power plants, the capital of a Finex plant is approximately 20% and the operating cost about 15% lower compared with the blast furnace route.</p><p><strong>Environmental safety</strong><br> With direct charging of iron ore and coal, environmental compatibility is much higher compared to the blast furnace route, which consists of coke oven plant, sinter plant, and the blast furnace itself. Finex already complies with the most stringent environmental laws applicable to the ironmaking industry.</p><p>Want to know more?

The Finex F-2.0M plant successfully commenced operation in January 2014. Based on an optimized design and improved operation, the Finex F-2.0M represents the next step in cutting-edge hot metal production, minimizing investment and operational costs, while maximizing environmental efficiency. In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Finex F-2.0M plant even surpasses the POSCO blast furnaces, which are considered among the most modern and economic blast furnaces in the
