Iran’s steel industry predominantly relies on the Direct Reduction (DRI) method—a cleaner, gas-based process that aligns with modern environmental responsibilities and energy efficiency goals. In this technology, iron concentrate is transformed into pellets through a critical processing stage known as pelletizing.

Pelletizing is typically executed using one of two primary global technologies:

1. Straight Grate (Lurgi design)
2. Grate Kiln (Allis-Chalmers design)
