The Benefits of Ore Pro Technology

The unique features of Ore Pro's Technology provide significant advantages over conventional pellet processing plants, such as:

• Environmentally friendly -  independent emission monitoring of the demonstration plant has recorded very low levels of NOx , SOx and CO2 during normal operation
  
  
• Reduced CAPEX and reduced OPEX compared to conventional gas / fuel / coal fired applications
  
  
• Reduction in process residence time due to volumetric heating of the pellets - typically 20 minutes or less from ambient temperature
  
  
• Increased throughput
  
  
• Optimum temperature control of pellets
  
  
• Increased pellet quality - pellet oxidization is completed while in rotary kiln
  
  
• Reduction in equipment and real estate requirements (footprint size)
  
  
• Low maintenance / high plant availability
  
  
• Fast build times - plants are modular and generally easy to erect and commission
  
  
• Patents granted in Australia & USA and patent pending protection in other jurisdictions.

Our process is unique in that it uses microwave energy as the sole heat source for drying, preheating and induration (oxidizing and hardening) of ‘green magnetite’ pellets into commercial hematite iron pellets.
