Nucor DRI Start-up Successful
Written by Sandy Williams
A Christmas Eve start-up of the Nucor direct reduced iron (DRI) facility in St. Louis Parish, Louisiana, came off without a hitch. Within 24 hours the output quality matched best-in-class levels of Nucor’s Trinidad plant, said the company.
“We are very pleased to announce this important step in executing our raw materials strategy,” said John Ferriola, Nucor’s President and CEO. “I want to personally thank our team in St. James Parish for their commitment and perseverance working right through the holiday season in achieving this important success.”
