1.1 Identification of project and project proponent

India is emerging as one of the leading producer of steel in the international market.

Government of India has received large number of proposals to set up steel making

facilities. Government is taking all steps to attract investment in steel sector and facilitate

speedy implementation of the projects.

India is the 4th largest producer of crude steel in the world with a total Production of around

90 MTPA (projected) in the year 2014-15 and is poised to take Third position by 2015-16.

Ministry of Steel has received proposals to set up steel making facilities for capacities of

around 276 million tons per year. Investment plans are mainly in the states of Orissa,

Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Karnataka, Gujarat and Maharashtra. Government is

taking steps for speedy implementation of these projects to meet with the expectations.

2.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed

site, particularly the environment considerations gone into should be highlighted

The suitability of a site, for locating the proposed project is determined by the following

major considerations.

• Availability of adequate land, adjacent to the existing unit for installation of main plant,

transformer yard, switchyard and all other supporting facilities such as cooling towers,

pump houses, raw water storage reservoir etc.

• Minimum haulage distance for transportation of fuel; i.e. imported coal can be procured

from Kandla Port located at ~10 Km from proposed site.

• Suitability of the land from topographical and geological considerations.

• Location away from forests, national park/sanctuaries, sea coast, other places of

defence, religious, cultural and ecologically sensitive elements.

• Nearest village, Varsamedi is ~ 0.7 km away from the location.

The major driving force behind the selection of the proposed site is that the plant will be

adjacent to existing Manufacturing units which has already been scrutinized by MoEF for

setting up and subsequent expansions. Apart from the above requirements, other

considerations such as water availability, availability of land, good transportation facilities

for receipt of fuel and other environmental considerations have also been looked into for

proposed project.

3.3 Brief Description of Manufacturing Process and Flow Diagram

Figure 3: Flow diagram



Manufacturing Process for Pig Iron Plant

The purpose of a blast furnace is to chemically reduce and physically convert iron oxides

into liquid iron called “hot metal”. The blast furnace is a huge, steel stack lined with

refractory brick, where iron ore, coke and limestone are dumped into the top, and

preheated air is blown into the bottom. The raw materials require 6 to 8 hours to descend to

the bottom of the furnace where they become the final product of liquid slag and liquid iron.

These liquid products are drained from the furnace at regular intervals. The hot air that was

blown into the bottom of the furnace ascends to the top in 6 to 8 seconds after going

through numerous chemical reactions. Once a blast furnace is started it will continuously

run for four to ten years with only short stops to perform planned maintenance.

Manufacturing Process:- The blast furnace is a counter-current reaction where solids

descend and gases ascend. In this reaction there are numerous chemical and physical

reactions that produce the desired final product which is hot metal. The main inputs for the

blast furnace are iron ore (sinter); coke and lime stone.

The Iron ore; as naturally available on earth is either in the form of Hematite (Fe2O3) or in

the form of Magnetite (Fe3O4) and the iron content ranges from 60% to 68%. Sinter is

produced from fine raw ore, small coke, sand-sized limestone and numerous other steel

waste materials that contain some iron. These fine materials are proportioned to obtain

desired product chemistry then mixed together. This raw material mix is then placed on a

sintering strand, which is similar to a steel conveyor belt, where it is ignited by gas fired

furnace and fused by the heat from the coke fines into larger size pieces that are from 10

mm to 30 mm. The iron ore, pellets and sinter then become the liquid iron produced in the

blast furnace with any of their remaining impurities going to the liquid slag.

The coke is produced from a mixture of coals. The coal is crushed and ground into a powder

and then charged into an oven. As the oven is heated the coal is cooked so most of the

volatile matter such as oil and tar are removed. The cooked coal, called coke, is removed

from the oven after 18 to 24 hours of reaction time. The coke contains 90 to 93% carbon,

some ash and sulphur but compared to raw coal is very strong. The strong pieces of coke

with a high energy value provide permeability, heat and gases which are required to reduce

and melt the iron ore, pellets and sinter.

The final raw material in the iron making process is limestone; which can be in pure calcium

chloride, calcium oxides or dolomite limestone containing magnesia or a blend of the two

types of limestone.



All of the raw materials are stored in separates silos and transferred to the stock-house

before charging. Once these materials are charged into the furnace top, they go through

numerous chemical and physical reactions while descending to the bottom of the furnace.

]The major chemical reactions consists of reduction of iron ore; oxidation (burning) of carbon

in the coke. Another important series of reaction takes place at high temperature is the

reaction of lime with impurities; resulting in slag.

Another product of the iron making process, in addition to molten iron and slag, is hot dirty

gases. These gases exit the top of the blast furnace and proceed through gas cleaning

equipment where particulate matter is removed from the gas and the gas is cooled. This gas

has a considerable energy value so it is burned as a fuel in the “hot blast stoves” which are

used to preheat the air entering the blast furnace to become “hot blast”. Any of the gas not

burned in the stoves is sent to the boiler house and is used to generate steam which turns a

turbo blower that generates the compressed air known as “cold blast” that comes to the

stoves.

Gas Cleaning System of Blast Furnace:

The hot dirty gases generated from the top of the blast furnace shall be cleaned in the Gas

cleaning system. Dry gas cleaning system, in which series of bag filters will be installed.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.

Definition of EIA

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a formal process used to predict how industrial

development or construction project will affect natural resources such as water, air, land,

socioeconomic and bio ecological environment.

An EIA usually involves a sequence of steps:

(1) Screening to decide if a project requires assessment and to what level of detail.

(2) Preliminary assessment to identify key impacts, their magnitude, significance, and

importance.



(3) Scoping to ensure the EIA focuses on key issues and to determine, where more detailed

information is needed.

(4) Implementing the main EIA study, which involves detailed investigations to predict

impacts, assess their consequences, or both.

Methodology

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies include identification, assessment,

quantitative evaluation and prediction of possible impacts. To minimize the impact of the

project on various environmental attributes, mitigation measures are suggested for

implementation along with the project.

The methodology of this study can be schematized as detailed below:

To gather information on present environmental conditions and relevant national

environmental guidelines and EIA procedures.

Scoping of impacts.

Assessment of significant impacts.

Description of residual impacts.

Development of monitoring plans.

To inform all relevant and involved authorities regarding the impact of the project on

the environment and the proposed mitigation measures.
