Abstract
The present technical disclosure relates to a direct reduction iron (DRI) plant as well as to process configurations for integrating an electrically heated reformer into a syngas-based direct reduction plant for the production of direct reduced iron with reduced carbon dioxide emissions. More particularly, the present technical disclosure relates to plant configurations and associated operating processes that replace, either partially or fully, a combustion-heated top gas reformer with an electrically heated reformer, wherein the thermal energy required for the endothermic reforming reactions is supplied by electric heating.
