Material Balance Assumptions • Post reformer • Assume following conversion rates • Reaction 1: 80% • Reaction 2: 80% • Reaction 3: 80% • Post OXY booster • Assume booster adds 5.0% of stream 5 to stream 5. • Assume conversion rate of 80% • Post shaft furnace • Assume reduction reaction conversion rates of 93% • Process gas split • Assume all steam is condensed and all water is sent to process recycle stream. • Assume 60:40 split for streams 9:17. 12
Material Balance Assumptions (2) • Post CO2 removal • Assume 100% removal of appreciable CO2. • Top gas to combustion split • Assume no water in this stream. • Ore feed • Assume only Fe2O3. • In reality this stream will contain, in addition to Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and SiO2. • Needs to be corrected to include other components. • Product stream • Assume only pure Fe and residual Fe2O3. • Post reformer combustion • Assume total combustion of fuel gases from stream 21. 13
Material Balance Process Gas (million mol/day) 14
Energy Balance Assumptions For the furnace temperature we used an average value of 980F. For the reformer we used a temperature of 1562F Energy balance of furnace based only on incoming and outgoing iron due to weight of iron being substantially higher than weight of incoming gases. 15

Summary This process will produce 2.2 million tons DRI. This plant will consume roughly 210,000 MW-h annually. 23 million mols of CO2 will be sent to the gas treatment plant. Based on our economic analysis, this plant will cost approximately $97 million. 23
Oxygen-Fuel Boost Reformer Relatively new technology for secondary oxygen reforming in MidrexProcesses. Uses a two step partial combustion process in which oxygen and methane are mixed and combusted in the first stage. The combustion gases are then mixed in an elongated mixing tube with methane and oxygen in a swirling motion producing H2 on CO syngas along with H2O, CO2 and CH4 to be used as enrichment gases to combine with and enhance the reducing gas from the reformer. This increases the reducing gas amount and temperature of gas going to the furnace increasing productivity. 24
