s. This would not only provide independence from escalating prices for pellets on the world market, it would also enable the flexible adjustment of the pellet chemistry and quality to ensure optimized iron and steel pro-duction. However, up until now, the space required for conventional pel- let plant was too large for an efficient and cost-effective integration within an existing iron- and steelworks. This meant that producers had to either purchase pellets from commercial sup-pliers or operate their own pellet plants near the iron ore mine. The latter often incurs complicated transport logistics and the related higher costs. In response to this challenge, Siemens VAI recently developed Circu - lar Pelletizing Technology, or CPT. The process is based on and is virtually iden- tical to well-proven travelling-grate pel- letizing technology, with the difference that circularly designed induration furnace greatly reduces the footprint size of the pelletizing plant. Overall space requirements for CPT plants are approximately one half of those need-ed for conventional pellet plant. Capital expenditures for civil works, CPT boasts compact layout and lightweight construction design. CPT compact and cost-efficient solution for the production of quality pellets Market innovation Worlds most compact pelletizing plant 4equipment and steel structures are re- duced accordingly, and plant installa- tion can be completed far more quickly. Annual production capacity of CPT plant ranges between 0.8 and 3.0 mil- lion tons of pellets. Process and plant description CPT plant includes the pre-processing facilities for grinding, storage, mixing, balling and screening of the iron ore and other input materials; green pel-let charging area; circular induration furnace; combustion system; process-gas cleaning; the service area for mate- rial feeding and product discharge; secondary dedusting system; the respective transport and conveying systems; and t
