waste derived Alternative reducing agents

N+P have developed waste derived alternative reducing agents, which are used in blast furnace applications. Thanks to a various portfolio of options, both existing PCI injection systems or bespoke feed systems are be used to feed our materials into the bottom of the furnace. Utilization of waste derived alternative reducing agents is considered as chemical recycling (R3).

Case study

“Sustainability, in the broadest sense of the word, is essential to reduce the global carbon footprint. At the Montanuniversität we research and support ways to achieve a circular economy to contribute to Europe’s climate goals. We were therefore very pleased to carry out a study with N+P on her Subcoal® as an alternative reducing agent for blast furnaces. The results were exciting and promising and have been turned into real projects in Europe's steel industry.”
