Tosyali Algerie, a prominent steel producer in Algeria, has recently inaugurated its second Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) production unit. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the company, further solidifying its position in the regional steel market.
The new DRI unit, located in the industrial zone of Bethioua, Oran Province, has a production capacity of 2.5 million tonnes per year. This expansion aligns with Tosyali Algerie's ambitious growth strategy, aimed at meeting the increasing demand for steel in Algeria and beyond.
DRI, also known as sponge iron, is a key raw material used in steel production. It is produced by reducing iron oxide in the form of pellets or lumps using a reducing gas generated from natural gas or coal. DRI offers several advantages over traditional iron-making processes, including lower carbon emissions and energy consumption.
Tosyali Algerie's decision to invest in a second DRI unit underscores its commitment to sustainable steel production. By utilising advanced technologies and environmentally friendly practices, the company aims to minimise its environmental impact while meeting the growing needs of its customers.
The expansion of Tosyali Algerie's DRI production capacity is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, creating jobs and supporting ancillary industries. Additionally, it will enhance Algeria's self-sufficiency in steel production, reducing the need for imports and boosting the country's industrial sector.
Overall, the inauguration of the second DRI production unit is a testament to Tosyali Algerie's continued growth and commitment to excellence in the steel industry. The company's strategic investments and focus on sustainability are poised to drive further success in the years to come.
