Based in Bardsir County, Kerman Province, Gohar Zamin Steel plays an important part in completing Iran&#8217;s steel value chain by producing high-quality sponge iron. This report takes a closer look.<\/p>\n<h2>Background<\/h2>\n<p>Using direct reduction technology and pellets produced in the region, the Gohar Zamin Steel complex has built a stable position as a supplier of feedstock to steelmakers. Careful production planning, preventive maintenance and continuous quality monitoring have been the three pillars of this journey.<\/p>\n<h3>Key figures<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Nominal capacity of 3.44 million tonnes of sponge iron a year (phase 1)<\/li>\n<li>High metallization and uniform product quality<\/li>\n<li>Quality, safety and environmental management systems in place<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Process and technology<\/h2>\n<p>In direct reduction, oxygen is removed from iron ore pellets, producing a material with a high iron content that is the main feedstock of electric arc furnaces. Precise control of temperature, reducing gas composition and residence time determines the final quality.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Consistent product quality is the result of care at every stage of production and the commitment of our colleagues on every shift.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Quality control<\/h3>\n<p>Regular sampling and chemical testing in the plant laboratory ensure that the sponge iron stays within standard ranges and meets customer needs. Product analysis results are published periodically.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Capacity expansion, lower energy and water use, and closer cooperation with universities and research centers are the main plans for the coming years, supporting both the company&#8217;s growth and the sustainable development of the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The product and its place in the steel production chain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[17,16],"class_list":["post-47","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product","tag-gohar-zamin-steel","tag-sponge-iron"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goharzaminsteel.ir\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
