Role in the project
HKM’s role in Safe-H-DRI is the traditional one of an industrial partner in research projects: The aim is to ensure that the project results are not only scientifically valuable, but also industrially relevant. HKM will therefore contribute the industrial perspective to this research initiative by providing advice on various topics such as the definition of laboratory test parameters and feasibility on a large scale.
In addition, HKM will supply raw materials for the laboratory tests and carry out product analyses using XRD/XRF.
Team
Fatima Demirci, Fabian Perret, Michael Fischer and Andreas Janz work in the field of Ironmaking Technology and will perform the project activities for HKM. Joerg Burr works for the ironmaking quality department and will accompany the lab tests at HKM.
