Dear Sir,

Although I m not a direct reduced iron producer and kiln designer, I don't recommend you to charge any coal reduced iron to your induction furnace as an induction furnace user for years.Coal means ash,ash means slag and low efficiency and early lining erosion.

Best Regards

Rather than using coal as a reductant, I would recommend use of a syngas with heat supplied through the gas to reduce the iron oxide. This is based on the reasoning above, plus numerous other issues associated with the use of coal in such a unit.
