SUMMARY:HILT CRC short course: Introduction to DRI Processes
DESCRIPTION:HILT CRC short course: Introduction to DRI Processes\nFollowing his highly regarded ‘Decarbonisation Routes for Green Steel’ course\, Professor Geoff Brooks (Swinburne University of Technology; right) is teaming up with Dr Johann Rinnhofer (thyssenkrupp) to present ‘Introduction to DRI processes’. \nThis course is designed for engineers and scientists working in ferrous metallurgy who would like to better understand fundamental and practical aspects of direct reduced iron (DRI) production processes. \nPresented by HILT CRC in association with the Association for Iron & Steel Technology (AIST)\, the course will cover the basic chemistry and thermodynamics of DRI production\, consider the different DRI technologies developed\, and examine the impact of hydrogen fully or partially replacing carbon-based reductants. \nPractical issues around equipment layout and supply of raw materials will be also be examined. \nDates and times: \n\nTuesday 10 March\, 12:30pm–7:00pm\, including lunch and networking drinks from 5:00pm\nWednesday 11 March\, 9:00am–1:30pm\, including lunch\n\nMajor topics to be covered: \n\nBrief history and background of DRI ironmaking\nBasic chemistry and thermodynamics\nDifferent DRI technologies and flowsheets\nMass and energy balances\nLayout/construction of furnaces and auxiliary equipment\nSupply of power\, gases and feed materials\nOperation of DRI furnaces/process economics\nFuture directions.\n\nThe course will take 6 hours\, delivered over two days. Lecture notes will be provided. \nREGISTRATION: This course is free for HILT CRC Partners* and includes lunch on both days and networking drinks on day 1. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* If you’re a HILT CRC Partner employee and haven’t received the registration password\, contact us at admin@hiltcrc.com.au. \nDownload the course flyer. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\npresenters \n\n\nProfessor Geoff Brooks\, Swinburne University of Technology\n\n \nProfessor Geoff Brooks has published over 300 papers on fundamental aspects of ironmaking and steelmaking and has worked closely with steel companies in Europe\, Asia and North America. He is currently the Joint Swinburne/CSIRO Professor of Sustainable Mineral Processing. In 2013\, Geoff was awarded the prestigious John Elliott Lectureship Award by the AIST. He was also awarded the 2018 EPD Distinguished Lecturer by the The Minerals\, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) and the 2023 Bessemer Medal by the Institute of Materials\, Minerals and Mining (IOM3). \nGeoff leads HILT CRC Project RP1.014 De-risking electric smelting furnaces for Australian ores. \n\n\n  \nDr Johann Rinnhofer\, CEO\, thyssenkrupp nucera Australia\n \nDr Johann Rinnhofer is the CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera Australia\, based in Perth. He has 30 years of experience as a CEO in the plant engineering business for the mining & metallurgical industry\, including fuel- and induction-heated industrial furnaces and power plant technologies. Johann also serves as an honorary professor at the University of Leoben in Austria\, where he lectures Industrial Furnace Technology. \n  \n\n
