DRI
[0044] The production of DRI pellets was conducted at the following operation parameters in a pilot EFB furnace having an inside FB diameter of 61 cm (24 in.). (In this example, as well as Examples 2 and 3, infra., Flexi coke brand of petroleum coke and Desulco 9010 brand of granular carbon were used for expediency.)
