3.2.1 DRI Kiln:

The production program of the direct reduction plant, as envisaged, is given

below:

Annual Capacity, Tons Description

Existing Expansion

Sponge iron (DRI) lump 193500 TPA 90000 TPA

A refractory lined rotary kiln will be used for reduction of Iron ore in solid state. A

central Burner located at the discharge end will be used for initial heating of the

kiln. Sized Iron ore will be continuously fed into the kiln along with coal, which has

dual role of fuel as well as reductant. Dolomite will be added to scavenge the

sulphur from the coal. A number of air tubes will be provided along the length of

the kiln. The desired temperature profile will be maintained by controlling the

volume of the combustion air through these tubes. The Carbon Monoxide

generated due to the combustion of coal, reduces the iron ore and convert it into

sponge iron. The rotary kiln is primarily divided into two zones viz. the pre

heating zone and the reduction zone. The preheating zone extends over 30 to 50

% of the length of the kiln and in this the moisture in the charge will be driven off

and the volatile matter in the coal will be burnt with the combustion air supplied

through the air tubes. Heat from the combustion rises the temperature of the

lining and the bed surface. As the kiln rotates, the lining transfers the heat to the

charge. Charge material, pre-heated to about 1000oC enters the reduction zone.

Temperature of the order of 1050oC will be maintained in the reduction zone,

which is the appropriate temperature for solid-state reduction of iron oxide to

metallic iron. This hot material will be transferred to rotary cooler. In rotary

cooler the material will cool from 1000oC to 170oC in cooler by spraying water. The

cooler discharge material consists of sponge iron lumps, sponge iron fines and

char. Magnetic and non-magnetic material will be separated through magnetic

separators and stored in separate bins.

3.2.2 INDUCTION FURNACE:

Initially scrap & other metallics such as pig Iron will be charged into the induction

furnace. After scrap & other metallics are fully melted, the temperature of the

melt reaches above 1600oC, and then DRI will be continuously charged into the

furnace. As soon as the charge is melted, bath samples will be taken and

temperature will be measured. There will be 6 nos. (2x12 T & 4x8 T capacity) of

induction furnaces in the SMS plant.

3.2.3 LADLE REFINING FURNACE

Lime, ferro-alloys, aluminium and fluorspar will be added as per the requirement

and the final temperature and analysis will be adjusted.

3.2.4 BILLET CASTER

In Billet caster, the liquid steel after ladle furnace treatment will be casted into the

desired billet sizes.

3.2.5 ROLLING MILL:

A pusher type furnace has been envisaged for the heating of billets.

The following size of billet will be fed to furnace.

Furnace will be heated with LDO. A bar and round mill will be installed in the plant

with a capacity of 90,000 TPA to produce 8 mm, 10 mm & 12 mm bars of 6-12 m

length.

3.2.6 Sinter Plant

The proposed and sinter plant complex will consist of one sinter Machine of 50 m2

grate area along with associated services facilities. The sinter plant is rated for a

total production of 432000 Tonnes of BF Sinter at a rated productivity of 1.2

t/m2/hr.

3.2.7 Blast Furnace Plant

The blast furnace shop will comprise of one furnace of 125 m3 working volume.

The blast furnace is envisaged to operate with sized lump iron ore, coke, fluxes

and additives. The hot metal produced will be cast at pig casting machines to

produce cold pigs. The liquid slag will be granulated at cast house granulation unit.

The BF top gas will be cleaned in dust catcher and gas cleaning system and

distributed to the stoves, burners for runner drying, boilers for process and

process steam supply. The excess gas will be supplied to power plant.

3.2.8 POWER GENERATION:

The exhaust waste flue gases from the rotary kiln will pass through a waste heat

recovery boiler (WHRB) of 10.5 TPH capacity. The rotary kiln gases will have a

temperature of 1000ºC at the exhaust of WHRB the temperature will be 1700C.

Three nos. of FBC boilers of 1x45 TPH, 2 x 120 TPH capacity will also be provided

to generate steam by using coal, Dolochar, coal Washery rejects as fuel. The

steam generated will pass through respective steam turbines and will be coupled

to respective generators to generate electricity aggregating to 66 MW. This power

generated will be utilized to meet the internal power requirements of the Mini

integrated steel plant. The flue gases will pass over various heat transfer surfaces

to ESP and then finally discharged into chimney by ID fan. The boiler will have its

own ESP, ID fan and chimney.

3.2.9 PROCESS DESCRIPTION OF COAL WASHERY

The coal washery will be installed inside premise near raw material yard. This

section comprises of coal crushing and screening station and coal washery to

produce clean coal with 25 % ash, appropriately sized and a middling fraction by

treating the raised coals from the mine.

The coal washery has been designed to wash the coal in heavy media circuit to

reduce clean coal with 25% ash and middling. The process consists of crushing of

the ROM coal in a single toothed roll crusher. The crushed coal is then washed in

Zig to produce clean coal and middling with the help of water stream and air

pressure.

3.2.10 MANUFACTURING PROCESS FOR FERRO ALLOYS:

Standard Silico Manganese is smelted at about 1700 – 1800 ºC. This is achieved

by a conventional Submerged Arc Electric Furnace. The three carbon electrodes,

partially submerged in the charge, are supported on hydraulic cylinders for

upward and downward movements to maintain the desired electrical conditions in

the furnace.

The raw materials are thoroughly mixed in the proper proportion before being

charged into the furnace. Manual poking rods or stoker car are used for stoking

the charge on the furnace top. As the charge enters the smelting zone, the alloy

formed by chemical reactions of the oxides and the reductant, being heavy

gradually settles at the bottom. The slag produced by the unreduced metal oxides

and the flux, being relatively lighter, floats on the alloys surface. At regular

intervals the furnace is tapped.

Initially the acidic and alkaline effluent streams coming from cation and anion

units of DM plant will be neutralised in a neutralisation tank of size 5m x 3m x

2.5m. Service water will then pass through an Oil Separator to remove the oil

content in the effluent. The pH of Boiler blowdown will be between 9.5 and 10.5.

Hence this effluent stream shall be neutralized in a neutralization tank of size

3m x 4.5m x 1.7m before mixing with other effluent streams. All these effluent

streams will be mixed in a Holding tank along with cooling tower blowdown. Part

of the treated effluent will be recycled into the DRI plant & Rolling mill make-up

water for cooling and the remaining treated effluent will be used for ash

conditioning, dust suppression and for greenbelt development. The sanitary

wastewater will be treated in septic tank followed by soak pit.

Total effluent generation : 1764 m3/day

(Excluding sanitary waste)

Effluent qty. to be used for ash conditioning : 96 m3/day

Effluent to be used for dust suppression : 90 m3/day

Effluent to be recycled in DRI & cont. casting : 275 m3/day

Total effluent qty. to be used for on land for irrigation : 1303 m3/day

Hence a greenbelt of 50 hectares will be developed within the plant premises by

using the treated effluent. A dedicated pipe distribution network will be provided

for using the treated effluent for on land for irrigation.

The characteristics of the treated effluent are well with in the CECB Standards for

on land irrigation. Hence there will not be any impact on ground water / surface

water due to the proposed expansion project.

The emissions from the proposed project are SPM, SO2 & NOx. The predictions of

Ground Level Concentrations have been carried out using ATDM Model.

Meteorological data such as wind direction, wind speed, max. and min.

temperature collected at the site have been used as input data to run the model.

It is observed from the computation results that the maximum predicted

incremental rise in 24 hourly ground level concentrations of SPM, SO2 & NOx are

1.9 µg/m3, 6.5 µg/m3 & 6.4 µg/m3 respectively at a distance of 1015 m from the

origin stack in the down wind direction.

The predicted results show that the net resultant concentrations (Max. Baseline

conc. + Max. incremental rise in conc.) of SPM SO2 & NOx will be well within the

National Ambient Air Quality Standards after commissioning of the proposed

Project. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on air environment due to the

proposed Project.

5.2 Prediction of Impact on Noise Quality

The major sources of noise generation in the proposed expansion Project will be

steam turbine, WHRB, FBC Boiler and Compressors. The ambient noise levels will

be with in the standards prescribed by MOE&F vide notification dated 14-02-2000

under the noise pollution (Regulation & Control), rules 2000 i.e. the noise levels

will be less than 75 dBA Leq during day time and 70 dBA Leq during night time.

The extensive greenbelt proposed to be developed in the Plant premises will

further attenuate the noise levels. Hence there will not be any adverse impact due

to noise on population in surrounding areas due to the proposed Project.

The characteristics of the treated effluent are well below the Chhattisgarh

Environment Conservation Board standards for on land irrigation. Hence there will

not be any impact on ground water / surface water due to the proposed expansion

project.

As part of post Project environmental monitoring the effluent shall be analysed

weekly for pH, TDS, SS, chlorides, sulphates and oil & grease.

6.2.3 Air Environment

4 nos. ESP's will be provided for bringing down SPM in the exhaust gases of WHRB

& three nos. of FBC Boilers to less than 100 mg/Nm3 as per CREP

recommendations. The exhaust gases from ESP's will be let out through stacks of

adequate heights for effective dispersion of pollutants. All material transfer points,

dust-generating areas in the plant will be provided with dust extraction system

consisting of Bag filters and dust suppression system with Nozzles will be

provided. A common stack of 30 m height will be provided for induction furnaces

& for Ladle furnace after treating in a Bag House.

Air pollution control measures will be strictly implemented so that the ambient air

quality will be well below the National Ambient Air Quality standards after

commissioning of the expansion project. Extensive greenbelt proposed to be

developed in the plant premises will help in further mitigating the air emissions.

6.2.4 Noise Environment

The major sources of noise in the proposed project will be steam turbine, Boilers,

and Compressors. The turbine, WHRB & FBC Boiler will be of reputed make which

are designed to meet the latest National / International Standards on noise levels.

The employees working near the noise generating sources will be provided with

earplugs. Ash Bricks will be used in the construction of the Buildings. Noise

absorbing materials will be used in the construction of roofs, walls and floors. The

extensive greenbelt development proposed within the plant premises will help in

attenuating the noise levels further. Noise barriers in the form of trees are

recommended to be grown around power house, administrative block and other

utility units.

6.2.5 Green Belt development

Thick greenbelt will be developed with in the plant premises of the proposed

expansion project to further enhance environmental quality through limitation of

air emissions, attenuation of noise levels, balancing eco environment, prevention

of soil erosion and creation of aesthetic environment.

Green Belt development

Extensive greenbelt will be developed in addition to the thick greenbelt existing in

the premises. The greenbelt shall be developed simultaneously with the plant

construction. This will further mitigate the pollution impacts. 50 hectares of

greenbelt will be developed with in the plant premise (which is inclusive of existing

greenbelt). A detailed greenbelt plan will be developed in consultation with local

DFO.

Rainwater harvesting

Rainwater harvesting structures will be constructed to harvest the run off water

from roof top and from the plant area & by laying a separate storm water

drainage system for recharging of ground water
