Synthesis Energy Systems, Jiangsu Tianwo-SES Clean Energy Technologies, デュエルビッツ 評判idrex Technologies Sign Exclusive Marketing Agreement for Clean Coal Gasification-based Direct Reduced Iron Facilities
Economic, Efficient and Eco-Friendly Joint Technologies Will Have Widespread Application in Steel Industry
May 28, 2014
Midrex Technologies, Inc.
Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc.
Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. (SES) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, SES Technologies, LLC, Shanghai-based Jiangsu Tianwo-SES Clean Energy Technologies Ltd. (TSEC), デュエルビッツ 評判idrex Technologies, Inc. (Midrex), a subsidiary of Kobe Steel, Ltd., have entered into an exclusive agreement for the joint marketing of coal gasification-based direct reduced iron (DRI) facilities in China. These facilities will combine the premiere SES Gasification Technology with the industry-leading MIDREX® Direct Reduction Process to create syngas from low quality coals in order to convert iron ore into high-purity DRI.
Midrex and SES will work together to develop and implement the marketing and commercialization strategy, with the intention of securing the product offering's first customers, initially in China. The partners have engaged TSEC, to aid in the marketing of these powerful gasification-based DRI facilities in China. Additionally, TSEC will supply the gasification equipment and licensing of the SES Gasification Technology to any of SES-Midrex DRI projects in its region, which includes all of China, as well as Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
SES デュエルビッツ 評判idrex executed the agreement after conducting an early engineering co-development effort of the joint technologies, which provided results leading the partners to believe that this clean, efficient and economic product will have widespread application even outside of China, especially in regions with low quality, low cost coal, which comprise more than 50% of the world's coal resources.
The new coal gasification-based DRI plants are intended to support China's growth in an eco-friendly way as China moves away from high polluting and inefficient blast furnaces to new, cleaner technologies for the fabrication of iron product for steel manufacturing. China is the largest producer of steel in the world, and currently has no DRI-based plants. The Chinese central government is encouraging the replacement of outdated facilities that generate higher emissions with lower efficiencies with new clean, efficient ironmaking technology.
"The SES-Midrex partnership is good for both companies-and it's good for the environment and will greatly benefit the marketplace. Midrex is our top choice to partner with in this important market vertical, since Midrex technology is not only cleaner but can also use lower quality inputs, just as our technology can run on abundant, low quality coal. We share this double economic-environmental advantage," said Robert Rigdon, SES president and CEO. "It's a win-win for China and other growing industrial markets around the world. They require steel to build cities and infrastructure and SES デュエルビッツ 評判idrex can help them do it cleanly and efficiently, using local lower cost resources."
"New DRI production technologies such as MXCOL® represent the future of cleaner high quality ironmaking especially in areas such as China," said James D. McClaskey, President and CEO of Midrex Technologies, Inc. "Jointly with SES, we look forward to providing new technology that will meet evolving environmental needs to make top-grade DRI products for regional steelmakers by best utilizing local energy resources and raw materials."
