WORKING IN ORINOCO IRON
Orinoco Iron is a iron ore reducing plant (briquette plant) where I worked over 11
years, which has many equipments widely used in oil refinery processes,
because Orinoco Iron has to produce reformer gas from natural gas as a
part of its internal process
This plant started up in 2000 by
IBH and BHP Billinton companies and it is an iron ore reduction plant, which
transforms the iron ore in briquettes of pure iron of 84% of metallic. The
process used for this purpose is FINMET that means "fine metallic"
and this technology was developed by Venezuelan people. It was built in Matanzas Puerto Ordaz Edo Bolívar Venezuela. It
has a capacity of 2,0 million tons of briquettes per year. This plant is
constituted by two modules of a million tons each one. Each module has two
trains of production and each one produce one thousand and five houndred tons
(1700) by day.
