Midrex is the world leader for direct reduction ironmaking technology and aftermarket solutions. Midrex has designed, built, and serviced direct reduced iron (DRI) plants for 50-plus years. Plants based on MIDREX® Process technology produce approximately 80% of the world’s low CO2 DRI.

The MIDREX Process is highly flexible and plants can be configured to operate on natural gas, natural gas with hydrogen addition (MIDREX Flex™), and 100% hydrogen (MIDREX H2™).
