JSW Group to deploy Coolbrook's RotoDynamic Heater technology

JSW Group, a leading and fastest expanding US$ 23 billion diversified business conglomerate, has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Coolbrook, a transformational technology and engineering company headquartered in Finland. “This strategic partnership will focus on implementing Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater™ (RDH™) Technology at JSW’s manufacturing sites at Vijayanagar Works in Karnataka, with the primary goal of achieving low-CO2 emissions in steel and cement production,” said PK Murugan, President – JSW Steel Vijayanagar & Salem Works.

RDH™ technology utilises renewable electricity to power high-temperature industrial processes in e.g. steel and cement production, significantly reducing the need to burn fossil fuels. In steel manufacturing, the technology targets the decarbonisation of manufacturing processes in traditional Blast Furnaces and the Direct Reduction of Iron (DRI) based production of iron and steel.
