Pre-feasibility Report
2 Introduction of the Project
2.1 IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT TO THE COUNTRY AND REGION:
TMT rod and bar products are normally used in constructional/structural work
due to its workability and Rolled products like angles and channels find
versatile use in industries and erection work. Ductile Iron (DI) Pipes’ good
mechanical properties, in addition to high durability and strength, make them
ideal for high-pressure applications. Ductile Iron Pipes are used extensively in
systems transporting potable water, industrial water, irrigation water and
pressure sewage. Cement is used in construction of house, bridges and
various infrastructure. Other products are backward integration to the end
consumer products.
All the products proposed to be manufactured have high market demand. Iron
& Steel is a basic commodity for all industrial activity and its consumption
marks industrial prosperity. The Iron & steel industry has tremendous forward
and backward linkages in terms of material flow, income and employment
generation. Iron & Steel is a core industry and thus its demand is strongly
linked to the overall economic activity of the nation. Given the inherent long-
term potential of the Indian economy and its cyclical nature, the long-term
prospects of the steel industry are fairly comfortable. The demand and
production has been growing at a healthy rate for the last few years and the
forecast for the next decade and half is also very promising.
As reported by Indian Brand Equity Foundation, India’s finished steel
consumption grew at a CAGR of 5.69 percent during FY08-FY18 to reach
90.68 million tonnes (MT). India’s crude steel and finished steel production
increased to 102.34 MT and 104.98 MT in 2017-18, respectively. In 2017-18,
the country’s finished steel exports increased 17 per cent year-on-year to 9.62
MT, as compared to 8.24 MT in 2016-17. Exports and imports of finished steel
stood at 0.99 MT and 1.22 MT, during Apr-May 2018.
Similarly, for cement industry also, the housing and real estate sector is the
biggest demand driver of cement, accounting for about 65 percent of the total
consumption in India. The other major consumers of cement include public
infrastructure at 20 percent and industrial development at 15 per cent.
India’s total cement production capacity is nearly 455 million tonnes, as of
2017-18. Cement consumption is expected to grow by 4.5 per cent in FY19

Pre-feasibility Report
supported by pick-up in the housing segment and higher infrastructure
spending. The industry is currently producing 280 MT for meetings its domestic
demand and 5 MT for exports requirement.
2.2 DEMAND SUPPLY GAP:
On a conservative estimate, the steel demand in India is expected to touch
around 150 MTPA by 2020. Steel supply is, however, expected to reach only
around 145 MTPA by same time.
World Steel Association has projected Indian steel demand to grow by 5.7% in
2017 while globally steel demand has been projected to grow by 0.5% in 2017
The National Steel Policy 2017 has been formulated keeping in mind the rapid
developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand
sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy. The National Steel
Policy 2017 aims to achieve 300 million tonne of steel-making capacity which
will require an additional investment of Rs 10 lakh crore by 2030-31 setting a
target of 160 kilograms per capita steel consumption by 2030. In comparison,
per capita finished steel consumption in 2015 is placed at 208 kg for world, 489
kg for China and only 61 kg for India.
As a facilitator, the Government monitors the steel market conditions and
adopts fiscal and other policy measures based on its assessment. In view of
rising imports, the Government had earlier raised import duty on most steel
items twice, each time by 2.5% and imposed a gamut of measures including
anti-dumping and safeguard duties on a host of applicable iron and steel items.
The liberalization of industrial policy and other initiatives taken by the
Government have given a definite impetus for entry, participation and growth of
the private sector in the steel industry. This had led to expansion, forward
integration, diversification and modernization of existing units.
The Cabinet also cleared another policy which will mandate giving preference
to iron and steel products that are manufactured in India for all government
tenders. At least 15 percent value has to be added to the notified steel product
in India to qualify as domestic steel.
There is a distinct relation between steel consumption and the GDP growth rate
world over. In India, GDP is expected to remain a figure of above 7% in Current
and Next Financial Years while it is expected to touch thereafter Double Digit

Pre-feasibility Report
Figures of 11-12%. This will be possible with National Focus on Large
Infrastructure Development with huge Investment and India is bound to witness
sustained growth in the steel requirement in the years to come. India will
emerge as the Second Largest Producer of Crude Steel in near future.
It is foreseen that there will be sufficient demand in local/Indian Market of Steel,
TMT Bars and Rods and cement for constructional needs, Silico Manganese
for Steel Making and others.
M/s SSPL has drawn up a growth plan with the objective of increasing its
market share in Indian steel industry. Keeping all these in mind, the Company
has planned expansion, forward integration and diversification of the existing
facilities in an effective environment friendly way.
2.3 IMPORT VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION:
On liberalization of the Indian steel sector with effect from 24.05.1992, iron and
steel industry was included in the list of High priority industries for automatic
approval for foreign equity investment up to 51%. This limit has since been
increased to 100%. The import regime for iron and steel has undergone major
liberalization moving gradually from a controlled import by way of import
licensing, foreign exchange release, canalization and high import tariffs to total
freeing of iron and steel imports from licensing, canalization and lowering of
import duty levels. Export of iron and steel items has also been freely allowed.
Import duty on capital goods was reduced from 55% to 25%. Duties on raw
materials for steel production were reduced. These measures reduced the
capital costs and production costs of steel plants.
Imports:
• Iron & steel are freely importable as per the extant policy.
• Data on import of total finished steel (alloy + non alloy) is given below for
last five years:

Pre-feasibility Report
Exports:
• Iron & steel are freely exportable.
• Data on export of total finished steel (alloy + non alloy) is given below for
last five years:
2.4 EXPORT POSSIBILITY:
Above figures are indicative of constant increase of steel export from India and
likely to increase further in coming years. The New Industrial policy opened up
the Indian iron and steel industry for private investment by (a) removing it from
the list of industries reserved for public sector and (b) exempting it from
compulsory licensing. Imports of foreign technology as well as foreign direct
investment are now freely permitted up to certain limits under an automatic
route. Ministry of Steel plays the role of a facilitator, providing broad directions
and assistance to new and existing steel plants, in the liberalized scenario.
The Company is already exporting to various countries such as:
• Korea
• Indonesia
• Japan
• Luxembourg
• China
• Nepal
2.5 DOMESTIC/ EXPORT MARKET:
Shyam group has a wide network of Stockiest & Distributors in the country
supported by Branch Offices in major cities. With the confidence gained by
serving discerning domestic customers, the group has embarked into large
scale exports of steel and ferroalloys to sophisticated markets in Europe like

Pre-feasibility Report
3.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the
proposed site, particularly the environmental considerations gone into
should be highlighted.
The proposed addition is on the existing land at Jamuria in Burdwan district of
West Bengal. The company already has sufficient land ad-measuring 649 acres
of land at the proposed location. It is only 35 kms from Durgapur city, giving
access to all modern amenities and offers us a significant competitive edge
through this strategic location. This belt has a supply of manpower and also key
raw materials, such as Dolomite, Quartzite, Ferro alloys and additives, thereby
reducing transportation and procurement costs.
The company also have its own private railway siding of 1.44 Kms, which
reduces the logistics cost.
The plant is closely connected with railways and highway roads. The unit is
located about 8 kms from Grand Trunk Road which provides easy and good
transport connectivity. The unit’s power requirements, other than captive power
plant, will be fulfilled by Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) from 12 MVA line
from Icra substation located at a distance of about 2.5 km from the plant. The
plant’s water requirement is met from bore well. Further, the company also has
permission to draw water from nearby Ajay River which is approximately 8 Kms
from the site. The site is well connected with all type of transportation.
Locational Advantages
The proposed project is coming up on existing site of the Company. Site
selection for setting up of proposed project is governed by: (i) Proximity to
sources of raw material for production i.e. Jamuria being a centre for raw coal,
(ii) Reasonable proximity to end users i.e. Asansol, Ranigunge, Durgapur and
(iii) Availability of necessary infrastructure like Railway, Roadways, Power,
Manpower and Water.
• Requisite skilled and unskilled labour force is available in the nearby area (in and around area of Burdwan, Asansol & Durgapur).
• Proximity to the main raw materials required in the project as Jamuria is itself a heart of coal mining. Proximity to the source of the principal raw material will result in significant reduction in transport costs.
• It may be mentioned that Burdwan, Asansol and Durgapur has emerged as one of the fast growing region for iron & steel products.

Figure – 3.0 : Process flow of sinter plant
3.5.3 DRI PLANT
The direct reduction iron plant will be of conventional Rotary Kiln technology.
The rated capacity of the kilns will be 4x350 TPD to produce sponge iron.
The plant will be suitably designed for conveyor transportation as well as
storing system for both iron oxide feed, DRI product as well as by product
like product fines. The utilities system design will include distribution network
for utilities like nitrogen, oxygen, water, electric power, etc.
The process converts lump iron ore into highly metallised, passivated iron
product. The product is in the form of pellets/lumps and contains a variable
and controlled percentage of carbon. This is an ideal feed material for quality
steel making. The presence of Fe3C assures that the product is passivated
i.e. non-pyrophoric even without briquetting and allows easy, safe handling
and transport.
When the temperature reaches a value of about 500-600 deg C, the
hematite (Fe2O3), in presence of CO, changes to magnetite (Fe3O4).
When the burden reaches the lower zone of the furnace and comes in
contact with hotter and richer gas, the magnetite is reduced to wurstite
(FeO). The reduction of wurstite to metallic iron is the slowest stage of
the whole reduction process. It requires high temperatures and gas with
high reduction potential and these conditions are reached in the reducing
gas injection zone. The overall reduction process is represented by the

Oxide material handling:
The iron oxide material i.e. lump iron ore (sized) will be collected and
conveyed for screening in the oxide screening station and then sent to oxide
day bins for storage.
The iron ore will be directly sent to the oxide storage bins. Two bins will be
earmarked for pellet storage while one bin will store the iron ore lump. About
two shifts storage capacity has been planned.

Power Generation from DRI Plant: (30 MW Generations)
Waste gases generated from DRI (Sponge Iron) plant contain carbon
monoxide and other volatile matter which after combusted releases
significant heat. This heat contains significant calorific value (GCV of
mixed fuel - about 2300 kcal/Nm3). This heat will be used to produce steam
through Waste Heat Recovery Boilers. The high pressure steam will be
used to run turbines and generate 30 MW electricity.

In pellet plant, the concentrated iron ore fines will be mixed with
limestone, coke breeze and bentonite and grounded in a Grinding
Unit. The grounded material is transported pneumatically to mixer.
The mixed material is conveyed to balling disc for making green balls,
where water is added. The green balls are called pellets, which are
screened to 9 -16 mm size in a double deck roller screen. Oversize and
undersize material are returned to mixed material bins for reuse. The
pellets are fed by conveyor to the travelling grate of indurating furnace for
heat hardening. Mixed gas (blast furnace / coke oven gas) or producer gas
is used as fuel to achieve temperature of 1300oC. Producer gas plant is also
considered to supply the gaseous fuel requirement of pellet plant. Heat
provides recrystallisation, bonding and imparts strength to the pellets.
The indurated pellets are air-cooled using a fan. The cooled pellets are

taken to stockpile by belt conveyors after separation of hearth and side
layers in the hearth layer separation bin. The hearth and side layers are
reused in the furnace.
Slurry receiving and filtration: The iron ore will be received by pipe line
in slurry form in slurry receiving tanks and filtered in high efficient
pressure filters. The iron ore is dewatered (called concentrate). The
filtrate is clarified and reused in the pellet making.
Mixing: The iron ore concentrate is mixed with additives like coke fines,
limestone powder, and bentonite in high intensity mixer and with required
quantity of water for ideal moisture for next stage of process called balling.
Balling: The homogeneous feed is fed to balling discs. Green balls are
formed in an inclined pan of 7.5 m diameter, driven by variable frequency
drives.
Indurations: The green balls are converted to pellets by fired in the
indurating furnace. In this process, the wet pellets are dried, preheated,
indurated, and cooled on a continuous moving grate without intermediate
transfers. The indurating burners will be fired with coal gas. The process
air introduced for pellet cooling will be circulated from the cooling zone
of the grate in a multipass manner to the other process zones. The heat
transferred to the air in the cooling zone will be transferred to the zones
for drying and preheating of the green pellets. The indurating furnace
divided in to five zones. The zones are up draft drying, down draft drying,
preheating, firing, cooling zones. The indurating temperature is around 1300
deg C.

Steel Making by Induction Furnace
The greatest advantage of the Induction Furnace is its low capital cost
compared with other types of Melting Units. Its installation is relatively easier
and its operation simpler. Among other advantages, there is very little heat
loss from the furnace as the bath is constantly covered and there is practically
no loss during its operation. The molten metal in an Induction Furnace is
circulated automatically by electromagnetic action so that when alloy additions
are made, a homogeneous product is ensured in minimum time. The time
between tap and charge, the charging time, power delays etc. are items of
utmost importance is meeting the objective of maximum output in tones/hours
at a low operational cost. The disadvantage of the induction furnace is that the
melting process requires usually selected scrap because major refining is not
possible.
The process for manufacturing steel may be broadly divided into the following
stages:
i) Melting the charge mixed of steel & Iron scrap
ii) Ladle teeming practice for Casting (OR)
SHYAM SEL &

Jamuria, P.O. Bahadurpur, District Burdwan, West Bengal PAGE - 36
Pre-feasibility Report
iii) Direct teeming practice for billet Casting unladdable teeming machine
The furnace is switched on, current starts flowing at a high rate and a
comparatively low voltage through the induction coils of the furnace,
producing an induced magnetic field inside the central space of the coils
where the crucible is located. The induced magnetic fluxes thus generated out
through the packed charge in the crucible, which is placed centrally inside the
induction coil.
As the magnetic fluxes generated out through the scraps and complete the
circuit, they generate and induce eddy current in the scrap. This induced eddy
current, as it flows through the highly resistive bath of scrap, generates
tremendous heat and melting starts. It is thus apparent that the melting rate
depends primarily on two things (1) the density of magnetic fluxes and (2)
compactness of the charge. The charge mixed arrangement has already been
described. The magnetic fluxes can be controlled by varying input of power to
the furnace, especially the current and frequency.
In a medium frequency furnace, the frequency range normally varies between
150-10K cycles/second. This heat is developed mainly in the outer rim of the
metal in the charge but is carried quickly to the center by conduction. Soon a
pool of molten metal forms in the bottom causing the charging to sink. At this
point any remaining charge mixed is added gradually. The eddy current,
which is generated in the charge, has other uses. It imparts a molten effect on
the liquid steel, which is thereby stirred and mixed and heated more
homogeneously. This stirring effect is inversely proportional to the frequency
of the furnace and so that furnace frequency is selected in accordance with
the purpose for which the furnace will be utilized.
The melting continues will all the charge is melted and the bath develops a
convex surface. However, as the convex surface is not favorable to slag
treatment, the power input is then naturally decreased to flatten the convexity
and to reduce the circulation rate when refining under a reducing slag. The
reduced flow of the liquid metal accelerates the purification reactions by
constantly bringing new metal into close contact with the slag. Before the
actual reduction of steel is done, the liquid steel which might contain some
trapped oxygen is first treated with some suitable deoxidizer. When no
purification is attempted, the chief metallurgical advantages of the process

attributable to the stirring action are uniformity of the product, control over the
super heat temperature and the opportunity afforded by the conditions of the
melt to control de-oxidation through proper addition.
As soon as the charge has melted clear and de-oxidising ions have ceased,
any objectionable slag is skimmed off, and the necessary alloying elements
are added. When these additives have melted and diffused through the bath
of the power input may be increased to bring the temperature of metal up to
the point most desirable for pouring. The current is then turned off and the
furnace is tilted for pouring into a ladle. As soon as pouring has ceased, any
slag adhering to the wall of the crucible is crapped out and the furnace is
readied for charging again.
As the furnace is equipped with a higher cover over the crucible very little
oxidation occurs during melting. Such a cover also serves to prevent cooling
by radiation from the surface heat loss and protecting the metal is
unnecessary, though slags are used in special cases. Another advantage of
the induction furnace is that there is hardly any melting loss compared with
the arc furnace.
CONTINUOUS CASTING MACHINE
The molten steel from the IF is cast in a continuous casting machine to
produce billets. In some processes, the cast shape is torch cut to length and
transported hot to the hot rolling mill for further processing. Other steel mills
have reheat furnaces. Steel billets are allowed to cool, and then be reheated
in a furnace prior to rolling the billets into bars or other shapes.
The process is continuous because liquid steel is continuously poured into a
‘bottomless’ mould at the same rate as a continuous steel casting is extracted.
1) Before casting begins a dummy bar is used to close the bottom of the
mould.
2) A ladle of molten steel is lifted above the casting machine and a hole in the
bottom of the ladle is opened, allowing the liquid steel to pour into the
mould to form the required shape.
3) As the steel’s outer surface solidifies in the mould, the dummy bar is
slowly withdrawn through the machine, pulling the steel with it.
4) Water sprays along the machine to cool/ solidify the steel.

5) At the end of the machine, the steel is cut to the required length by gas
torches.
3.5.6 ELECTRIC ARC FURNACE
It is also proposed to install 1x45 T number of Electric furnace.
In furnace of this type, the electric energy is used to form an electric arc which
heats the metal by radiant heat evolved. This can be further sub-divided as:
• Direct Arc Furnace: Electric arcs are formed between the electrodes and
metal being heated, which is thus a component of the electric circuit and is
heated by radiation from the arcs. They are used in steel making.
• Submerged Arc Furnace: The arcs burn under a cover of solid charge
which surrounds the electrodes. These are mostly used for ore smelting
operations, in particular for making Ferro-alloys.
An EAF is a furnace that heats charged material by means of an electric arc.
They range in size from small units of approximately one tonne capacity (used
in foundries for producing cast iron products) up to about 400 tonne units used
for secondary steelmaking. Arc furnaces used in research laboratories and by
dentists may have a capacity of only a few dozen grams. EAF temperatures
can be up to 1,800oC.
The furnace has a steel shell in the form of a tapered cylinder with a spherical
bottom. The shell has a refractory lining inside. The reaction chamber of the
furnace is covered from above by a removable roof made of refractory bricks
held by a roof ring. The furnace has a main charging door and a tap hole with
tapping spout. It is fed with a three phase alternating current and has three
electrodes fastened in electrode clamps which are connected by means of a

Pre-feasibility Report
sleeve with a movable electrode stand. Current is supplied via water cooled
flexible cables and water cooled copper tubes. The furnace rests upon two
support sectors which can roll on the furnace stand to tilt the furnace towards
the main door and towards the tap hole for tapping, the tilting motion being
affected by a rack mechanism.
The furnace is charged from the top by means of a pan. To open the reaction
chamber for charging, the furnace roof which is suspended from chains is
raised up to the gantry. The latter together with the roof and electrodes, can be
swung towards the tapping spout. A rotating mechanism is provided to rotate
the furnace shell through an angle of 40 degrees in both directions from the
normal position. The furnace also has an electromagnetic stirring device for
intermixing of molten metal.
Although electricity provides most of the energy for EAF steelmaking,
supplemental heating from oxy-fuel and oxygen injection is used. The major
advantage of EAF steelmaking is that it does not require molten iron supply. By
eliminating the need for blast furnaces and associated plant processes like
coke oven batteries, EAF technology has facilitated the proliferation of mini-
mills, which can operate economically at a smaller scale than larger integrated
steelmaking. EAF steelmaking can use a wide range of scrap types, as well as
DRI and molten iron (up to 70%). This recycling saves virgin raw materials and
the energy required for converting them. The EAF operates as a batch melting
process, producing heats of molten steel with tap-to- tap times for modern
furnaces of less than 60 minutes.
Arc furnace process
Steel in arc furnace may be refined with or without oxidation. Oxidation may be
dispensed where the metal ingredients of the charge are close to the desired
steel grade in analysis. In such case, a reducing slag is used both in melting
and refining (single refining or single slag practice). Usually, this process is
used to smelt alloy wastes to alloy steel. In working with oxidation, the charge
is melted and refined under an oxidizing slag or ‘black slag’ (the slag is called
‘black’ due to the colour it is given by the iron oxide), removing phosphorous
and/or carbon almost completely; then the ‘black slag’ is removed and a
reducing or ‘white slag’ containing lime, fluorspar, silica, carbon and/or
ferrosilicon made up, giving a very high degree of desulphurization and good
de-oxidation. Additions of the required ferroalloys are made during this stage,
or sometimes to the ladle.

The principal processes in the oxidizing period are
i) Removal of phosphorous
ii) Oxidation of silicon and manganese
iii) Removal of sulphur
iv) Removal of nitrogen and hydrogen,
v) Removal of non-metallic inclusions,
vi) Heating of the metal,
vii) Reboil and
viii) Carbonization of metal.
A modern development in arc furnace practice is the use of an oxygen lance
for injecting high pressure oxygen into the bath, during the oxidation period.
This removes carbon more rapidly than by ore alone. Lancing does not need
an arc for heating. The use of oxygen lance has special advantage in the
manufacture of stainless steel. If oxygen is blown into the metal, exothermic
reactions prevail in the bath, the metal is heated up quickly, and it is possible
to switch off the current as soon as the carbon begins to burn intensively.
The aims of the reducing period during the melt in a basic EAF are:
i) De-oxidation of the metal
ii) Removal of sulphur,
iii) Adjustment of the steel composition to specifications,
iv) Control of the bath temperature, and
v) Preparation of well oxidized free running highly basic slag, which can be
used for off-furnace treatment of the metal in the ladle.
The reducing period can be shortened considerably if the metal is treated with
argon or synthetic slag or deoxidized in the ladle.
a) Important Segments:
A. Electrodes:
An important characteristic of an EAF heat is the consumption of electrodes
per tonne of steel produced. The types of electrodes used are carbon and
graphite electrodes. The graphite electrodes are much superior to carbon
electrodes as they have a 4 to 5 time greater electrical connectivity, which
allows high current densities to be employed and lowers electrical losses.
Graphite electrodes begin to oxidize at higher temperatures, can be easily
SHYAM SEL &
POWER LTD.

Jamuria, P.O. Bahadurpur, District Burdwan, West Bengal PAGE - 41
Pre-feasibility Report
machined, and their consumption per tonne of steel is only one half that of
carbon electrodes. Graphite electrode consumption varies between 6 to 9
kg/ton, and that of carbon electrodes between 15 to 18 kg or more. Due to this
reason, even with its high cost, graphite electrodes are popular. It has been
observed that the consumption of electrodes increases initially with increasing
capacity of furnace and then start decreasing beyond capacity of 40 tonne. At
capacities more than 100 t, the electrode consumption comes around 5
kilogram per tonne (kg/T) for properly designed furnaces.
The factors that determine consumption of electrodes are as follows:
• Oxidation of surface of electrodes in the furnace by oxygen in the sucked
in air
• Mechanical losses owing to fracture of electrodes
• Atomization by electric arc
• Dissolution in the slag during bath boil
The consumption of electrodes depends on furnace capacities, method and
conditions of a heat, and also on the effective sealing of the electrode ports
and the furnace doors. Approximately, two third of the total consumption of
electrodes result from their oxidation due to poorly sealed furnace or a long
operation with the furnace door left open. The main rules of proper
maintenance of electrodes during operation are as follows:
Electrodes must be kept in dry place; if moisture is present in the
electrodes, longitudinal or transverse cracks can form during rapid
heating of the furnace, resulting in breakage.
The leakage of furnace gases through the gaps in the roof at the
electrodes must be eliminated; this will lower the heating of the electrodes
and their oxidation by atmospheric oxygen.
Electrode sections should be screwed tightly together.
The electrode holes in the roof should be positioned accurately;
electrodes should move freely without touching the sealing rings and roof
lining; if an electrode is subjected to lateral pressure during lowering, it
may break.
The diameter of electrodes should correspond to the current supplied; if
the current density is excessively high, electrodes will be heated and
oxidized vigorously; if the electrode diameter is excessively large, energy
consumption will be above normal.

Pre-feasibility Report
B. Electric Power / Oxygen
The performance of EAFs is assessed in terms of daily output in tons per 1000
KVA of power. Daily output is a function of nominal furnace capacity, working
conditions, and the process adopted. On average, it is 3-14 tonnes per 1000
KVA. Energy consumption is likewise governed by the three above factors and
amounts to 500 – 700 KWh per tone for carbon steel up to 1000 KWh per
tonne of alloy steel if only scrap is charged.
With increasing addition of liquid steel and HBI, considerable reduction in
specific power consumption has been recorded with increase of specific
oxygen consumption.
With 30% hot metal, power consumption was around 400 KWh/t liquid steel
and oxygen consumption around 28 Nm3/t liquid steel. With 40% hot metal,
this is around 300 KWh/t liquid steel and around 35 Nm3/t liquid steel. The
remarkable difference in power consumption of approximately 100 KWh/t
between 30% and 40% hot metal is not significant because with 30% hot
metal, it is necessary to first charge the scrap, then melt down the scrap for
approx. 9 min. to get space in the furnace for the hot metal. The furnace is
then switched off, the roof opened and the hot metal can be charged. This
operation causes additional losses compared to step 2 to 4 with 40% – 50%
hot metal input where the hot metal is poured to the scrap prior to power on
after the end of charging, the furnace is switched on and operated without
interruption until the end of the heat.
For 50% hot metal charging, specific power consumption values to
approximately 250 KWh/t of liquid steel and oxygen consumption of
approximately 40 Nm3/t hot metal can be achieved with silicon content of hot
metal of 0.8%. Thus with higher hot metal charging rates into the EAF,
consumption of electric energy and electrodes can be reduced.
b) Process Description
The steel melting shop has been designed to produce liquid steel and cast
the same in continuous casting machine to form billets, blooms and ingots
of various specifications. Electric Arc Furnaces (1 x 45 ton) has been
proposed in the steel melting shop for production of alloy steel and low
carbon steel.

Pre-feasibility Report
The hot metal produced in blast furnace will be taken to desulphurization
plant. The desulphurised metal is taken in the transfer ladle by injection of a
mixture of Calcined lime, calcium carbide (55%) and magnesium (97%)
through a refractory coated immersed lance. Nitrogen is used a carrier gas.
De-slagging and fume extraction facility has been considered. The
desulphurised metal is taken for steel making in Steel Melting Shop
comprising Electric Arc Furnace technology. The EAF will be AC Arc type,
bottom tapping, water cooled side walls, roof side graphite electrode,
foamy slag formation, continuous charging of hot DRI through roof,
mechanized charging of lime, ferroalloy and scrap through roof and coke /
coal powder by injection into furnace. Heating, deoxidation, alloying and
homogenization of chemical composition takes place in the Laddle
Refining Furnace. Overhead bins are provided for storing lime, deoxidizers
and ferroalloys.
The metallic charge to the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) is desulphurised hot
metal and sponge iron in defined ratios. DRI comes directly from the DR
Plant by conveyors. The hot metal comes from the blast furnace by ladle
carried by a car, which is driven by a loco. The ladles are lifted from the car
by EOT crane and kept aside in an area earmarked for them. Lime and
Ferroalloys are stored in a silo and filled by bucket elevator. A belt conveyor
carries them to day bins. A gallery between the EAF and LF bays is
provided for Lime and Ferro-Alloy day bins. Ferro-alloys are filled in the
day bins with a bucket lifted by a hoist in the gallery itself. These bins feed
the ladle at EAF and LRF.
Hot metal is charged into the EAF with the help of EOT crane. The roof is
swung open and scrap is charged. The cycle starts with the charging of
Scrap on the hot heel of the EAF, after this the hot metal is charged from
top (slag door side). Arcing starts and melts part of the scrap and clears it
from the door. Intensive oxygen blowing starts and lasts for about 15-17
minutes for reducing carbon. Oxygen lancing is done through the slag door
with manual door lances. DRI is continuously fed from the time the lancing
starts. After the oxygen lancing is over arcing starts. This lasts for 25-30
minutes. During this period phosphorus is reduced and slag is over run from
slag door. Towards the end of the arcing, oxygen lancing is done again
along with lime dosing for maintaining foaming slag and final
dephosphorisation. The tap-to-tap time for fettling, slag-off,
superheating, etc. is around 65 minutes. Samples are taken during the heat
for measurement of C, P and N percentages followed by corrective action.
Slag is poured into the slag pots on a car and taken out. Slag
generation is around 5% of the total charge.

The liquid metal is tapped into ladle at about 1620oC and ferroalloys are
charged into the ladle during tapping and then taken to Laddle Refining
Furnace. Desulphurisation, chemistry correction, partial degassing and
temperature control activities are done in the LRF. The process lasts for
about 30-40 minutes. Purging for stirring is done throughout the process,
through porous plug from the bottom. After refining, the Laddle is lifted by
the EOT crane and transported to the Continuous Casting Machine (CCM)
where it is placed on the turret. The turret rotates by 180o. The Laddle
pouring hole is automatically positioned over the tundish. The slide gate is
opened hydraulically and

machine which is a set of hydraulically pressed rollers. The slab is cut to
required sizes and comes to a run out roller table. In case of slab caster,
the slabs are cut by oxy-propane torch cutting machine and the cut slabs
are transported through run out roller table to cross transfer and fed to plate
mill and hot strip mill.

for mill and roll grinding and bearing inspection facilities. The main
equipment of the mill and storage area will be located in a bay of 30 m width
having about 300 m length. This bay will be served by EOT cranes. The
motor room for the mills will be located in a bay of 21 m width and 63 m
length, and will be served by one 45 t capacity EOT crane. All technological
basements like oil cellars, hydraulic pump accumulator stations, strip cooling
pump house, etc. will be located in the mill bay. The water circulation system
including scale pit will be located outside the main mill building.
TMT Process
By adopting thermo mechanically treatment process higher strength of TMT
bars is obtained. In this process, steel bars get intensive cooling immediately
after rolling. When the temperature is suddenly reduced to make surface
layer hard, the internal core is hot at the same time. Due to further cooling in
atmosphere and heat from the core, the tempering takes place. This process
is expected to improve properties such as yield strength, ductility and
toughness of TMT bars. With above properties, TMT steel is highly
economical and safe for use. TMT steel bars are more corrosion resistant
than Tor steel.

Brief Description of Coke oven Plant
Coke quenching system consists of Coke quenching pump house, quenching
tower, coke dust trap device, Coke fines sedimentation pond, clean water
pond, coke fines dewatering system. A coke fines bucket crane is placed over
the sedimentation pond to periodically remove the coke fines from the pond.
The coke fines removed from the pond is used in sinter plant and Ferro alloy
plant.
The coke is mainly quenched by the water entering at the bottom of the coke
box of the quenching car as well as by the rising vapor. By flooding the coke
box from the bottom, the coke is quickly cooled down creating steam which
catapults the coke high up into the shaft. As the coke falls down the small
loose breeze coke particles are separating from the lumps, which has a
stabilizing effect to the coke. Furthermore, the quick cooling down of the coke
reducing the development of unwanted gas emissions.

3.5.9 DUCTILE IRON PIPE PLANT (0.1 MTPA)
M/s SSPL is planning to install 0.1 MTPA Ductile Irons Pipes Plant. The
Manufacturing Process consists of the following processes steps,
1. Molten Hot Metal preparation and Chemistry correction
2. Magnesium treatment
3. Centrifugal Casting
4. Core Making
5. Mold Maintenance
6. Heat Treatment by Annealing Furnace
7. Zinc Coating
8. Hydraulic Pressure Testing
9. Cement Mortar Lining
10. Bitumen Coating
11. Finishing
A ductile iron pipe is produced with centrifugal casting method. The molten
ductile iron is poured into a rapidly spinning water-cooled mould and
centrifugal force results in an even spread of iron around the circumference.
Molten Hot Metal Preparation: In Blast Furnace Hot Metal, Carbon
percentage (%) is usually 4.2% to 4.3%. But in DIP, Carbon percentage is
3.6%. Therefore Steel Scrap with 0.3% Carbon is to be added by about 12%
to 15% of BF Hot Metal.
Magnesium Treatment: During this process, molten Hot metal treated with
Ferro Alloys, like Silico-Manganese, Magnesium, carbon etc. and melted with
1460-1520°C of temperature. The George Fischer Converter process has
been carried out in the crucibles at about 1500°C by tundish treatment and it
was performed by means of 2,1% of Fe-Si-Mg. Next, molten iron will be
poured to the cast process.

Centrifugal Casting: Centrifugal casting requires water cooling metallic and
centrifugal casting machine that works automatically. Types of the machine
are divided as the pipe dimension (DN). Here For example, there are machine
for DN80-300mm, machine for DN350-700mm or machine for DN700-
1000mm.
During the process, the treated liquid iron is poured into spinning mould
through a runner. The hot metal starts solidification in the water cooled mould
and is extracted as complete pipe. When the molten iron enters the mould
spinning, it needs water high speed spin through the long through for the
water cooling system. During this process, the solidification process will be
started. Finally, the extractor will extract the pipe after it solidified completely.
Core Making: Core making equipment consists of manual machine and
automatic machine known as core-making jets. Silicon sand, solidifying agent
and resin will be mixed and rolled. Then it’s moved to the hopper of the core-
making jets machine with a conveyor. Core making process will be started by
jetting that material into core box. When it’s solidified completely core will be
made and tested. Next, core will be conveyed to casting process.
Mould Maintenance: To remove the rust in the internal surface of a mould, it
will be grounded with sand wheel before it’s dotted with penning head to
increase its crack resistance. If cracks found on the mould surface, it will be
removed by turning the mould and welding the turning area. Next grinding and
penning will accomplish the maintenance.
Annealing/ Heat Treatment : The process consists of heating section, heat
holding section, slow cooling section and fast cooling section. Ductile iron pipe
will be entered to this 52 meters long machine and rolled on it. Certainly its
temperature will be controlled.
Zinc Coating: Arc melted Zinc/ Zinc-alloy is sprayed on the outer surface of
pipe.
EN 545/598 mandates a minimum zinc content of 130 g/m2 (with local minima
of 110 g/m2 at 99.99% purity), and a minimum average finishing layer
thickness of 20 µm .
Finishing and Hydrostatic Testing: Pipe dimension will be checked here
and it’s important to remove the fins on the internal surface. A Hydrostatic

80=50mpa=300, 200=50mpa =600, 700=50mpa =1000, 1100=50mpa =2000
Cement Lining: Pipe will be rolled with low speed and it will be sprayed with
material. This material includes cement, sand, and water. Pipe will be rolled
with high speed to move excessive water and deposit cement. Nature cure
will be given to cement lining. Grinder will smooth its surface
Bitumen Coating: As zinc coating, bitumen will be sprayed to pipe. But it will
be done to internal and external surface. Bitumen will reduce the corrosion on
the external surface.
Finishing: This process includes marking (trade mark), painting if it’s required
and packing. It will pack with thick wood and bundled with steel belt.
Ductile Iron Metallurgy: Ductile Iron is an iron with elementary alloy such as
carbon, Si, Mn and Mg. Commonly, the carbon content on its structure is 3 %
or more. Ductile iron is one of the most important engineering materials, in
view of its excellent cast-ability, significantly better mechanical properties and
low cost. Simply, it’s similarly to steel in strength, toughness, ductility and
hardness.
3.5.10 PRODUCER GAS PLANT
In the proposed project a 36,000 Nm3/hr capacity producer gas plant will be
installed. Producer gas is fuel gas that is manufactured from material such
as coal, as opposed to natural gas. In the United Kingdom, producer gas,
also called suction gas, specifically means a fuel gas made
from coke, anthracite or other carbonaceous material. Air is passed over
the red-hot carbonaceous fuel and carbon monoxide is produced. The
reaction is exothermic and proceeds as follows:
2C + O2 + 3.73 N2 → 2CO+ 3.73 N2
The nitrogen in the air remains unchanged and dilutes the gas, giving it a very
low calorific value. The concentration of carbon monoxide in the "ideal"
producer gas was considered to be 34.7% carbon monoxide (carbonic oxide)
and 65.3% nitrogen. After "scrubbing", to remove tar, the gas may be used to

power gas turbines (which are well-suited to fuels of low calorific value), spark
ignited engines (where 100% petrol fuel replacement is possible) or diesel
internal combustion engines (where 40% - 15% of the original diesel fuel is
still used to ignite the gas). During World War II in Britain, plants were built in
the form of trailers for towing behind commercial vehicles, especially buses, to
supply gas as a replacement for petrol (gasoline) fuel. A range of about 80
miles for every charge of anthracite was achieved.
3.5.11 CEMENT GRINDING UNIT
Portland Pozzolana Cement:
The Portland Pozzolana Cement is a kind of Blended Cement which is
produced by either inter-grinding of OPC clinker along with gypsum and
pozzolanic materials in certain proportions or grinding the OPC clinker, gypsum
and Pozzolanic materials separately and thoroughly blending them in certain
proportions.
Pozzolana is a natural or artificial material containing silica in a reactive form. It
may be further discussed as siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material
which in itself possesses little, or no cementitious properties but will, in finely
divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium
hydroxide at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing cementitious
properties.
It is essential that pozzolana be in a finely divided state as it is only then that
silica can combine with calcium hydroxide (liberated by the hydrating Portland
cement) in the presence of water to form stable calcium silicates which have
cementitious properties. The pozzolanic materials commonly used are:
▪ Volcanic Ash
▪ Calcined Clay
▪ Fly Ash
▪ Silica Fumes
The Indian standards for Portland Pozzolana Cement have been issued in two
parts based on the type of pozzolanic materials to be used in manufacturing of
Portland Pozzolana Cement as given below:
▪ IS 1489 (Part 1) 1991, Portland Pozzolana Cement – specification (fly ash
based)
SHYAM SEL &
POWER LTD.
Proposed Expansion of Existing Integrated Steel Plant at Village Dhasna,
Jamuria, P.O. Bahadurpur, District Burdwan, West Bengal PAGE - 54
Pre-feasibility Report
▪ IS 1489 (Part 2) 1991, Portland Pozzolana Cement – specification
(Calcined clay based).
Fly ash is a waste product of Thermal power Plant which creates disposal
problems at Thermal power plant site. The yearly production of flyash in India is
about 70 million tonnes per annum. This would increase in future depending
upon the new coal based thermal power plants to be installed in the country.
The present utilisation of fly ash in production of blended cement in India is
meagre.
The fly ash particles are spherical and are generally of higher fineness than
cement so that the silica is readily available for reaction. As per IS 3812: 1981
the percentage of silica and alumina should be minimum 70% and maximum
loss on ignition 12%. Much superior quality fly ash is available from Indian
thermal power plants than specified in IS code.
The Portland Pozzolana Cement makes concrete more impermeable and
denser as compared to Ordinary Portland Cement. The long-term strength (90
days and above) of Pozzolana cement is better compared to OPC. The
pozzolanic material reacts with calcium hydroxide liberated by the hydrating
Portland Cement and forms cementitious compounds generally known as C-S-
H gel. The reaction can be given as under:
C3S + 6H ---------> C3S2H3 + 3 Ca(OH)2
2C2S + 4 H ------> C3S2H3 + Ca (OH)2
Ca(OH)2 + (SiO2 + Al2O3) ------> C3S2H3 + Other components
The flyash converts Ca(OH)2 in to useful cementitious compound (C3S2H3)
thereby increasing the properties of hardened concrete.
The Portland Pozzolana Cement produces less heat of hydration and offers
greater resistance to the attack of aggressive waters than normal Portland
Cement. Moreover it reduces the leaching of calcium hydroxide liberated during
the setting and hydration of cement.
The Portland Pozzolana Cement is ideally suited for construction such as
Hydraulic structures, Mass concreting works, Marine structures, Masonry
mortars and plastering Under aggressive conditions and in all other application
where OPC is used.

Storage & Packing:
The ground cement is conveyed to cement silos for storage of different types of
cement from where it is extracted and packed in HDPE or PP bags by
electronic rotary packing machines and dispatched to consumers by road.
Mechanized loading system for loading of packed bags on trucks is envisaged.
Quality Control:
In addition to the equipment for standard tests for cements, such as the
determination of setting times, strengths, water requirement, etc. the following
equipment will be available for the control of the production of PPC.
X-ray fluorescence device For determining the chemical composition
Vibratory Disc Mill For production of tablet
Tablet-press For production of tablet
Laser granulometer
(online and offline)
For determining the particle characteristics
Blaine device For determining the specific surface
Ordinary Portland Cement:
The manufacturing process of Ordinary Portland cement is made primarily from
calcareous and argillaceous materials, such as limestone or chalk, and from
aluminium oxide, silica oxide, ferric oxide and magnesium oxide found as clay
or shale. Raw materials for the manufacture of Portland cement are found in
nearly all countries and cement plants operate all over the world.
The raw materials are first crushed to size less than 50 mm. The raw materials
are ground together in a raw mill. Accurately controlled proportions of each
material are delivered onto the belt by weigh feeders. The raw mix is formulated
to correct chemical composition.
Calcium and silicon combine together to form the strength producing
compounds such as tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate. Aluminium and
iron combine to form flux which acts as a solvent for silicate forming reaction.
The raw mix prepared must be frequently analyzed by X-ray fluorescence
analysis. This analysis is used to make adjustments to raw materials feed rate.
SHYAM SEL &
POWER LTD.

Jamuria, P.O. Bahadurpur, District Burdwan, West Bengal PAGE - 56
Pre-feasibility Report
The raw mixture prepared is heated in large rotary kiln up to about 1400-1450
°C. A series of chemical reaction occurs as the temperature rises. The peak
temperature is maintained so that the material does not contain sinter products.
Sintering is the process of melting the mass of the material. Too low sintering
results in insufficient sintering and incomplete chemical reaction and too high
temperature results in formation of molten mass, destruction of kiln lining and
wastage of fuel.
The resulting material formed in the kiln is the clinker having diameter of 10-20
mm in shape of balls. The clinker is allowed to cool and transported to ball and
tube mill where it is ground to a fine powder. During grinding 5% of gypsum is
added to prevent quick setting of cement.
3.6 Raw material required along with estimated quantity, like source,
marketing area of final products, mode of transportation of raw material

4.6 Soil classification
The soils of the area have been derived from ferruginous material and shales.
The area is a fairly broad band running from east to west, from the Ajoy river,
near Churuliathrough Raniganj coalfield, upto · Barakar, a tributary of river
Damodar. The area belongs to coal bearing Damodar series of Lower
Gondwana sediments of middle Precambrian. The soils of the crest are well
developed, with argillic horizon. But because of convex topography and
susceptibility to erosion, the soils have moderate depth. These are well drained
soils Taxonomically, these soils belong to soil family of fine, mixed,
hyperthermic Typic Haplustalfs. All these soils have subangular blocky
structure at the surface and angular blocky in the subsurface horizons.
Weathered parent material mixed with soil and iron concretions has been
observed at a depth of 74 cm. The area is occasionally cultivated. They are
mostly cultivated for crops like paddy and wheat. This soils are of Madhudanga
and Jamuria series. The western portion made up of hard rocks has a higher
elevation than the eastern portion which is covered by an alluvial blanket
Geologically too, the Gondwana strata has ageneral southern dip varying from
5° to 25n. Archean rocks have been exposed to form isolated hillock and
pediment in the extreme north west. They have a loamy and sandy loamy
cover. From the north western extreme the land slopes south eastwards first
with a moderate slope and then a gentle slope. The soil cover here varies from
clay loam to clay. Further east, and in the central portion of the study area is
the toe slope which has a soil cover varying between sandy clay loam to clay.
The alluvial blanket in the extreme east is made of soil varying between sandy
clay loam to clay loam. Soils in the area are mostly sandy loam with clay in
texture and hence contain large percentage of silt and sand and hence possess
medium water holding capacity. The soil in the immediate vicinity of the project
is loamy silt. Only in areas close to rivers, soils are sandy silt. Alluvial soils are
often very fertile.

5 Planning Brief
5.1 Planning concept (type of industry, facilities, transportation etc), town
and country planning/ development authority classification.
During planning phase of the proposed project the following steps will be
carried out:
▪ Feasibility studies
▪ Technical appraisal and due diligence
▪ Project development planning, permitting and consenting
▪ Environmental audits and impact assessments
▪ Financial and thermal modelling, business planning
▪ Tariff studies, power purchase agreement
▪ Conceptual and pre-engineering design
▪ Implementation planning and cost estimating
▪ Special studies and risk assessment
The rail and road will be developed/ strengthened around the plant for
transportation of raw materials. This will also enhance the transportation
facilities of the area.
As the project is envisaged to employ direct & indirect employment during
construction and operation phase so the basic infrastructure facilities like
medical facilities, schools, playground, drinking facilities, bank, post offices etc.
will be developed and the same can also be used by nearby villages.
5.2 Population projection
The Burdwan district is dominated by rural population. Total workforce in
Burdwan is about 31.43% of total population. Looking at the occupational
pattern, it is observed that about of the main workers are associated with
agriculture and allied activities. The distribution of main workers in other
activities, viz. workers in household industries, construction, trade & commerce,
transport, communication & storage, mining & quarrying and other services are
observed to maintain low proportion although these activities varied widely
within in the district. Population density of this district as per the census data
2011 is 1376.53 per sq. km. High growth of population in urban population
growth areas is mainly attributed to the migration of people from rural to the
urban area in search of employment and other sources of income.

6.6 Drinking Water Management (Source & Supply of water)
In the proposed project around 107 m3/day of water is required for domestic
purpose which will be sourced from Ajay River / ADDA supply. The water shall
be filtered.
6.7 Sewerage System
Sewage from the various building in the plant will be routed through sewage
treatment plant (STP) and treated waste water will be used for green belt
development within the premises.
Sewage treatment plant (STP) based on SBR technology is proposed to be set-
up in the proposed project. A well-designed sewer network will collect
wastewater from different sections of the plant area. The sewer network will
convey the wastewater into the proposed STP.
STP Details

Pre-feasibility Report
Wastewater will be collected through a well-designed sewer network leading
to the proposed STP. The STP will be based on SBR Technology (Sequential
Batch Reactor) followed by tertiary treatment. Treated wastewater will be
used within the project site for greenery purpose.
SBR technology is a fill and draw activated sludge treatment technology.
The process is identical to the conventional activated sludge process. SBR is
a compact and time oriented system. The process is carried out sequentially
in the same tank.
SBR is an upgraded conversion of conventional activated sludge process and
is capable of removing nutrients from waste water besides very stable sludge
characteristics because of cyclic process.
SBR system performs operations based on time frame rather than space
since conventional activated sludge process requires more space. Housed in
a single unit the reactor can accomplish biological treatment and secondary
clarifications with a time controlled sequence thus achieving reasonably good
outlet parameters after secondary pretreatment and thus eliminating need of
multiple tanks or expensive membrane for treatment. This process achieves
high quality of treated water with low nutrients levels ready for recycling.
The chain will comprise of Fill, Aerate, Settle and Decant stages.
The core of plant is reactor with sewage feed and treated water outlet. This
reactor can be pre-engineered for different hydraulic and organic load

6.8 Industrial Waste Water Management
The prevention and control of water pollution aim at conserving make-up
water by recycling the wastewater after treatment. The wastewater, likely to
be generated from the proposed plant is:
• Underflow from Raw Water Clariflocculator
• Backwash Waste from Filtration Plant
• Run-off water from Raw Material Storage Yards
• Cooling Tower & Boiler Blow-down
• Canteen Effluents
Sludge from Raw Water Clariflocculator and Backwash from Filtration Plant
will be led to a thickener for removing suspended solids. The overflow from
the thickener will be reused in the plant water system. The Sludge from the
thickener will be dried and dumped.

Pre-feasibility Report
Cooling Tower & Boiler Blow-down from various recirculation systems will be
cascaded for reuse in Ash Handling, gardening and dust suppression.
Efforts will be made to harvest rainwater in the plant. Run-off water from the
office areas, shop roofs will be collected and stored for future use.
The plant will be designed as a zero discharge plant as far as the process
effluents are concerned. The water will be recirculated through cooling and
treatment. No plant effluent will be discharged outside the plant premises. The
entire waste water will be recycled for various purposes inside the plant.
Domestic effluent from the various buildings / sheds of the plant will be
conveyed through separate drains to STP. The treated waste water from STP
will be used in Greenery purpose.
