I am looking forward to attend the Middle East Iron & Steel Conference next week in Dubai – together with our local partner, the FOERSTER Middle East. You can find us at their Booth B62, where I’ll be joining our local contact, Sepehr Hamzelou, to talk about the latest developments in slag analysis and positive material identification (PMI).

In steel production, slag is often viewed as a by‑product, but we see it as an untapped resource rich with information. "Make the slag and the Steel makes itself" - Slag composition tells a story – about the efficiency of the process, the chemistry inside the furnace, and the quality of the final metal.
By performing detailed slag analysis, we can help producers improve consistency, reduce impurities, and enhance overall yield. Understanding the chemical and physical characteristics of slag allows for better control of furnace operations, optimized energy use, and reduced environmental impact.
We believe slag analysis is not just about measurement – it’s about insight. It helps us close the loop between raw materials, process parameters, and final product quality. With advanced analytical methods and reliable instrumentation, we can turn what was once considered waste into valuable data that drives smarter decisions.
Through our partnership with FOERSTER Group, we’re combining analytical expertise with decades of experience in material testing to deliver solutions that bring precision and reliability to every stage of production.
Whether you’re focused on improving process efficiency, quality assurance, or sustainability, slag analysis provides the foundation for better metallurgical performance and long‑term value.
We invite you to stop by Booth B62 to learn more about how slag analysis and other material testing innovations can strengthen your operations.
Our local contact, Sepehr Hamzelou, will be on site and happy to connect. Let’s discuss how we can help you turn data into action and by‑products into opportunities.
See you at the Fastmarkets Iron & Steel Conference in Dubai!
