piercing process, thickness rolling and diameter sizing. Coating may be applied according to customer’s request.

DIRECT REDUCED IRON PRODUCTION (SIDERCA)

Direct reduction is used to produce what is called sponge iron, starting from iron ore and using natural gas as reducing
agent. DRI is used as a raw material in the steel shop as a clean iron source substitute for either scrap or pig iron.
Siderca plant has an internal DRI production plant patented by MIDREX® which consists of two main units:

1. Reformer furnace for the reducing agent manufacturing, where natural gas is converted into carbon monoxide and
hydrogen with several hundreds of reformer tubes filled with nickel catalyst

2. Shaft furnace, a reactor where reduction of iron pellets and lumps is produced by reaction with reducing agent gas
recirculated in the process

LCA METHODOLOGY

The environmental burden of the product has been processed according to the general rules of the EPD (Environmen-
tal Product Declaration) International Programme and the N.PCR 2012:01 (versions 2.2), construction products and
construction services - Multiple UN CPC codes (Cradle to gate with options).

This declaration is based on the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology to the whole life-cycle sys-
tem. Seamless pipe product at plant level, was described by using specific data from Dalmine manufacturing facility
for year 2017.

Packaging used for product delivery and pollutant concentration in wastewater is considered negligible in accordance
with the cut-off criteria established in PCR 2012:01 v.2.2 (ch. 7.6).

Customized LCA questionnaires were used to gather in-depth information about all aspects of the production system
(for example, raw materials specifications, pre-treatments, process efficiencies, air emissions, waste management),
ultimately providing a complete picture of the environmental burden of the system:

Raw materials supply (A1), Transport (A2), Manufacturing (A3) and transport to final destination was considered (A4).
