Hypios offers companies (called “seekers”) a secure website where they can formulate and publish R&D problems and reach out to a global community of “solvers”: engineers, scientists and other experts in the Hypios network. The idea is that seekers offer monetary rewards for the right solution and solvers compete to find the best solution and win the reward.

      Pumping Iron at Cliffs & Associates: The Circored Iron Ore Reduction Plant in Trinidad

      By  Christoph Loch,  Christian Terwiesch

      In a revolutionary technology plant, iron ore is converted into pure iron by hydrogen reduction. The case describes the process flow, including flow diagrams, mass balances, yields, and equipment uptimes. The case then describes the fixed and variable cost structure of labor, material and equipment, resulting in an analysis of the plant economics.

          Cleveland Cliffs Inc. and Lurgi Metallurgie GmbH - The Circored Project (A): Building a First-of-Its-Kind Iron Ore Reduction Plant

          By  Christoph Loch,  Christian Terwiesch
          Add to cart
          The two companies started in 1995 to develop a new breakthrough technology for converting iron ore into pure iron. The project was extremely challenging because of complexity (a three-way joint venture involving three countries) and uncertainty (new technology posing unforeseeable complications). The case describes the difficulties to make the technology work.
