Nippon Steel has started to launch a demonstrative facility to inject gas containing hydrogen to the BF 2 in Kimitsu area in East Nippon Works, aiming at demonstrating thorough process of gas injection to the actual large-scale BF with 4500 cubic meters in size, which is the first trial in the worldControl of the temperature and the reduction reaction in BFs is one of the technological challenges. Since the result of the development conducted from 2008 on a 12 cubic meters test plant has been proven favorable, Nippon Steel decided to undergo a demonstration by utilizing an actual BF under operation, which is approximately 400 times as large as the test plant
