KOBELCO will cooperate to transfer technology to reduce water consumption in Iranian DRI plants.
Vice Chairman and top managers of KOBELCO presented their proposal for water and energy reducing consumption during a meeting with chairman of the board of IMIDRO.

Chairman of the board of IMIDRO noted the use of new technology in existing plants in Iran and said: at first, Mobarakeh DRI units which are using Kobe steel-IRITEC technology will be reformed aimed at water consumption reduction by 40 percent.
He added that Mobarakeh steel as a result of using this technology will witness growth in production capacity and reduction in gas consumption in its DRI units. Also this project will lead to reduction of 3 million cubic meters water consumption.
Ken Hirose announced that KOBELCO will supply finance and prepare some facilities of Mokran sponge iron project with using new technologies.
