Background

The Jahan Foolad steel plant in Sirjan opened in 2014.[1] Using iron from the Gol Gohar mine, it produces Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) in three large shaft furnace units of the Midrex model.[2] The total DRI capacity amounts to more than 3.7 million tons annually. The plant also produces crude steel via an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) unit with an operating capacity of 1.0 million tons per year, set to expand to 2.3 million tons annually.[3][4]
