Captive Power Plant:
Continuous non availability of Indian Coal and the increased dependence on imported coal has
prompted us to plan for a higher capacity power plant, which would be more fuel efficient
than a lower capacity plant. Accordingly we have examined th e best technology avai lable
today and have firmed up our plan for 330 MW PCF based plant, which gives us the best
economic feasibility and viability on the long run. Simultaneously, as we are setting up a Blast
Furnace, we propose to use the BF Gas for generating additional 30 MW (1 x 30) of power.
Also WHRB of 30 MW (in place of 45 proposed earl ier) from the Sponge Iron Ki ln.
Thus the CPP configuration will now be :
Exis ting running plant : 160 (2 x 80) MW
WHRB : 30 (2 x15) MW
Gas based co-gen : 30 (1 x 30) MW
Power Plant (PCF) : 330 (1 x 330) MW
Electrical Energy Consumption: Apprx 400 MW wi l l be used inhouse including auxi l iary and
s teel plant within the premises .
i . With Sinter Plant + Blast Furnace + Sponge Iron plant + Converter (BOF) + Oxygen plant +
Ladle Furnace + VD+ Caster + Rolling Mi ll & Al l other uti l i ties put together wi l l require
about 1300 Kwh/Ton of Sa lable s teel .
ii . Ferro Manganese / Silico Manganese to the extent of about 400 Tons per day then
additional energy requirement wi l l be about 3000 to 3500 Kwh/ ton of Ferro a l loy
produced.

2.3 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.
Indian s teel industry is undergoing a period of restructuring, improving i ts ranking among
global steel producers from the 9th
place to the 6th
place. In the last 5 years , the production
and consumption of steel has grown at exceeding rates of 9% per annum. The pace of growth
has further accelerated in the current year to over 10%.
The 11th Five Year Plan projects a 9% average annual growth in our GDP. Higher expectations
to see a massive increase in investment in infrastructure is probable. Consequently, mass ive
growth in demand for s teel in the next few decades i s also credible – perhaps to levels never
visual ized before.
2.4 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project.
The local areas will be benefited by way of generation of employment opportunities, increased
demand for local products and services. There will be an overall improvement in the income
level of the loca l people.
The project creates employment to about 1500 persons once the plant comes to the
operational s tage and for 2000 persons during construction stage. Top priority will be given to
loca ls for Semi-Skilled and Unskilled jobs. With the development of this Plant there wil l be lot
of scope for more anci l lary development, which in turn wi l l benefi t the nation.
There will be a certain enhancement of educational and medical s tandards of people in the
s tudy area. There will be genera l ly pos i tive and be neficia l impacts by way of economic
improvements, transportation, aesthetic environment and business generation. There wi l l be
an overall upliftment of socio-economic status of people in the area with the implementation

3.5 Manufacturing Process and Flow Diagram:
3.5.1 Manufacturing Process Sponge Iron
Blast Furnace:
Iron oxides can come to the blast furnace plant in the form of raw ore, pellets or s inter.
The raw ore is removed from the earth and sized into pieces that range from 0.5 to 1.5
inches. This ore is either Hematite (Fe2O3) or Magnetite (Fe3O4) and the i ron content
ranges from 50% to 70%. This i ron rich ore can be charged directly into a blast furnace
without any further processing. Iron ore that contains a lower i ron content must be
processed or beneficiated to increase its iron content. Pel lets are produced from this
lower iron content ore. This ore i s crushed and ground into a powder so the waste
material called gangue can be removed. The remaining iron -rich powder i s rol led into
bal ls and fired in a furnace to produce s trong, marble-sized pellets that conta in 60% to
65% i ron. Sinter i s produced from fine raw ore, small coke, sand -s ized l imestone and
numerous other s teel plant waste materials that contain some i ron. These fine materials
are proportioned to obtain a desired product chemistry then mixed togeth er. This raw
material mix is then placed on a sintering strand, which is s imilar to a steel conveyor belt,
where it i s ignited by gas fi red furnace and fused by the heat from the coke fines into
larger s ize pieces that are from 0.5 to 2.0 inches. The i ron ore, pel lets and s inter then
Pre-feasibility Report Expansion of Steel Plant
11
become the l iquid i ron produced in the blast furnace with any of their remaining
impuri ties going to the l iquid s lag.
The final raw material in the ironmaking process in limestone. The limestone is removed
from the earth by blasting with explosives. It is then crushed and screened to a s ize that
ranges from 0.5 inch to 1.5 inch to become blast furnace flux . This flux can be pure high
ca lcium l imestone, dolomitic limestone containing magnesia or a blend of the two types
of l imestone.
Since the limestone is melted to become the s lag which removes sul fur and other
impurities, the blast furnace operator may blend the di fferent s tones to produce the
des ired slag chemistry and create optimum slag properties such as a low melting point
and a high fluidi ty.
Al l of the raw materials are s tored in an ore field and transferred to the s tockhouse
before charging. Once these materials are charged into the furnace top, they go through
numerous chemical and phys ica l reactions whi le descending to the bottom of the
furnace.
The i ron ore, pellets and sinter are reduced which simply means the oxygen in the i ron
oxides i s removed by a series of chemical reactions .
DRI process:
For the direct reduction of iron ore, the main furnace used is Rotary Ki ln. The rotary ki ln
i s a refractory l ines vessel on which several blowers are mounted. From the blowers , a i r
pipes go through the shell and refractory. Vertically and delivers the required amount of
a i r required for process, axially. The kiln has conical outlet and inlet holds the material in
the ki ln. Ki ln i s placed in a s lope from feed end s ide at a s lope of 2 ½ degrees .
Iron ore, Coal, Dolomite/ Limestone is fed in the weighed quantity and the kiln is rotated
at the speed of about 0.5 rpm. A temperature between 1000OC to 1050 OC is maintained
in about 70% of the ki ln length towards discharge and s ide for required reaction.
After the reaction, the product is taken into an indirect cooling drum cooler. The produ ct
i s cooled to 100OC and taken for product separation. The product screened into lumps
and fines i s separated from the coal ash and coal char and then taken for fina l use.
Pre-feasibility Report Expansion of Steel Plant
12
The waste gas from the kiln contain lot of combustible l ike coal volati les , unused CO,
about 10 to 12% carbon particles and lot of other dust. The gas i s taken to an after
burner chamber and after the combustibles are burnt, the gas is cooled to about 160OC
ei ther passing through a gas cool ing tower or through a waste heat recovery boi l er
before going to Stack via ESP and ID fans .
The construction of Kiln and Cooler i s made in such a way that no outside air i s a l lowed
to go into the system. The outs ide a i r i f goes to the ki ln, re -oxidizes the product
ul timately upsetting the temperature profile. To avoid this, ID fan damper is throttled to
maintained positive pressure in the Ki ln. The pressure of about +5mm water column is
mainta ined at Ki ln fi ring hood.
The rotational speed of the ki ln i s adjusted as per the feed rate and percentage of
metallization. The % of inclination, rotational speed, the length of time the materia l i s
exposed to atmosphere, the kiln temperature, are all to be taken into consideration. So
the ki ln has three functions :
1. It i s heat exchanger.
2. It i s a vessel for Chemical reaction.
3. It i s a conveyor of sol ids .

3.9 Generation and disposal of Wastes [Waste Water and Solid Wastes]:
3.9.1 Waste Water Generation:
There will be no effluent generation in the DRI as closed ci rcui t cool ing system wi l l be
adopted.
Effluent from power plant such as boiler blowdown, DM Plant regeneration. Initia l ly the
acidic and alkaline effluent s treams coming from cation and anion units of DM plant wi l l
be neutralized in a neutrali zation tank. Service water wi l l then pass through a n Oi l
Separator to remove the oil content in the effluent. The pH of Boiler blowdown wi l l be
between 9.5 and 10.5. Hence this effluent s tream shall be neutralized in a neutralization
tank before mixing with other effluent streams. Al l these effluent streams will be mixed
in a Central Monitoring Basin along with cooling tower blowdown. Treated effluent wi l l
be used for ash conditioning, dust suppress ion and for greenbelt development.
The sanitary wastewater will be treated in septic tank followed by subsurface dispers ion
trench. Hence there will not be any chance of contamination of water bodies due to
proposed project.
3.9.2 Solid Waste Generation and its disposal
Dolochar generated from the Sponge i ron will be uti l i zed in the Power plant, Fly Ash
generated will be given to Asbestos Cement sheet units . Bottom ash wi l l be given to

6.6 Drinking Water Management:
Drinking water supply wi l l be mainta ined at the proposed project s i te.
6.7 Sewerage System.
Domestic effluent collected through toilet blocks will be collected through well designed
sewer network and send to Septic tanks followed by sub surface dispers ion trenchs .
6.8 Industrial Waste Management.
There will be no effluent generation in the DRI as closed ci rcui t cool ing system wi l l be
adopted.
Effluent from power plant such as boiler blowdown, DM Plant regeneration. Initia l ly the
acidic and alkaline effluent s treams coming from cation and anion units of DM plant wi l l
be neutralized in a neutrali zation tank. Service water wi l l then pass through an Oi l
Separator to remove the oil content in the effluent. The pH of Boiler blowdown wi l l be
between 9.5 and 10.5. Hence this effluent s tream shall be neutralized in a neutralization
tank before mixing with other effluent streams. Al l these effluent streams will be mixed
in a Central Monitoring Basin along with cooling tower blowdown. Treated effluent wi l l
be used for ash conditioning, dust suppress ion and for greenbelt development.
The sanitary wastewater will be treated in septic tank followed by sub surface dispersion
trench. Hence there will not be any chance of contamination of water bodies due to
proposed project.
