Binding Solutions Limited (BSL), UK-based developer of emission-reducing solutions for the steel industry, has announced the commissioning, testing and hand over of the first phase of its new pilot plant located at its laboratory research facility in Middlesborough, UK.
The occasion of the initial commissioning was marked by Tees Valley mayor Ben Houchen who toured the facility, met with BSL technicians, and officially inaugurated the plant.
The pilot plant will enable BSL to ramp up large scale product testing of its cold agglomerated pellet manufacturing process and to develop its proprietary low carbon technology to serve the iron ore and steel manufacturing sectors. The plant is expected to be fully operational in the first quarter of 2024.
It will use BSL’s patented technology to produce up to 2 tonnes of cold agglomerated pellets per hour for companies in the global steel and iron ore industries.
