figure 5.

Receipt, Storage & Handling of Raw Materials (Sinter Plant & BF Area)


11

The raw materials comprising iron ore fines, iron ore lumps, limestone & dolomite, quartz,

manganese ore, coke, coke fines required in Sinter Plant & Blast Furnace for iron making; are

received by road and stored in the respective stockpile area earmarked in the yard in open

manner. However, coal and lime is stored in a covered shed. Storage of about 7 days is

maintained.

Reclaiming and Transport of Raw Materials to consuming areas in Sinter Plants & Blast

Furnace

SINTER PLANT

Iron ore fines, mill scale, quartz reclaimed by a payloader from stockyard is fed to a hopper

located over the yard conveyor and transported to the proportioning bins at sinter plant through a

series of conveyors. Flux materials viz. limestone and dolomite will be fed to another hopper one

at a time by a payloader. The flux materials will be crushed and screened to -3mm size and

stored in the respective proportioning bins in the sinter plant building. Coke breeze after crushing

to -3mm size will be stored in the proportioning bins earmarked for the purpose. Electromagnetic

tramp iron separators, dust extraction system and belt scales are provided in the system as per

requirement. Schematic flow diagram for Raw Material is shown in Figure below

Sintering Process

In the sinter plant, the various raw materials are discharged in the desired proportion from the

proportioning bins and mixed with right quantity of water in a primary mixer followed by further

mixing in a secondary mixer. The green mix is then fed to the circular sinter machine over a

hearth layer of return sinter. The material then passes through an ignition furnace fired by BF gas

to ignite the coke in the mix. The material gets sintered by sucking of air from top through the

material layer to burn the coke and raise the temperature for agglomeration of the material.

The hot sintered material is broken to small pieces by a single roll crusher & screened in a

vibrating hot screen which discharges into an annular cooler for cooling to <100°C by blowing

air through the material. 0-5mm fraction from hot screen will be re-circulated to the sinter plant

through proportioning bins.


12

The cooled material is then conveyed to the BF section. Return fines 0-5mm from BF will also

be reversed to proportioning bins. ESPs are installed both at head & tail ends to clean the air

before discharging to atmosphere.

BLAST FURNACE

The sinter from the sinter plant shall be conveyed to the sinter bins in BF stock house by a belt

conveyor. Sinter shall form 80-85% of the metallic charge.

Sized iron ore/Pellets, coke and fluxes will be delivered to the BF stock house by a conveyor

from storage yard.

Coke, sinter and ore will be screened to remove fines before charging to the blast furnace. These

fines are re-used in the process.

Smelting Process in BF

The sinter & iron ore lumps/Pellets are smelted in BF using coke and injection coal as reductant

and source of supply of heat. Hot air at 1100-1150°C enriched by 2-3%. Oxygen is supplied to

provide oxygen for combustion of coke. The air is heated in stoves working on regenerative

principle using a part of BF gas as a fuel. The hot metal and slag is tapped periodically at about 2

hours intervals. Slag is granulated by high pressure water jet and collected in a pond. The hot

metal is collected in refractory lined ladles for use in steel melt shop/ pig casting in the pig

casting shop.

BF gas is used as a fuel in preheating of blast air in stoves, ladle heating and ignition furnace of

sinter plant. The balance BF gas is used in captive power plant, reheating furnaces of rolling mill

etc.

STEEL MELTING SHOP

a) Raw Material Handling

The metallic charge in the steel melting shop shall be;

Hot Metal : ~65%

DRI : ~31%

Revert Scrap : ~4%

It will be processed in the shop through Electric Arc Furnace (EAF), Ladle


13

Refining Furnace, Vacuum Degassing (only for alloy steels) and continuous

casting route to produce billets.

Hot metal shall be transported to the SMS in refractory lined ladles by special

trucks. The metal shall be charged into the EAF by EOT crane through a launder.

The DRI will be purchased and received in trucks which will discharge in ground

hopper and conveyed to day bins by a high rise conveyor. Burnt lime & dolomite

shall be received in waterproof bags and stored indoor. The bags shall be opened

& material supplied to EAF day bins by a payloader discharging to the ground

hopper feeding the high rise conveyor feeding the day bins.

b) Melting & Refining Process in EAF

After charging of scrap and hot metal, melting process starts by blowing oxygen

and supplying electrical energy by direct arcing. The continuous DRI feeding is

started after 4-5 minutes along with lime & dolomite. The melting and refining

for de-phosphorization & partial desulphurizing take place simultaneously. The

slag formed is removed continuously. On complete meltdown sampling is done.

Further oxygen blowing & power input are carried out as per sample result. The

temperature is raised to about 1620°C. The arcing & oxygen blowing is stopped

and the steel tapped in a heated refractory lined ladle. About 15-20% metal is kept

in the furnace as hot heel by quick tilt back to ensure slag free tapping through

eccentric bottom tap hole. During tapping fluxes and ferro alloys are added to suit

further treatment.

The furnace slag line refractory is inspected and repaired by gunning, if required.

The furnace is then ready for next heat.

c) Secondary Refining in Ladle Furnace

The secondary refining of steel is carried out in the ladle furnace under a reducing

basic slag for de-sulphurization. The steel is continuously kept in homogenized

conditions by stirring achieved through purging of argon gas through a porous

plug installed in ladle bottom. Heat is supplied by direct arcing under the slag


14

layer. Fluxes and ferro-alloys are added as required to achieve the desired

composition. Sampling & temperature measurement is done 2-3 times to control

the process and achieve right composition and temperature for continuous casting.

Feeding of aluminium and calcium silicide is carried out by wire feed machine for

some of the grades for de-oxidation, desulphurization and inclusion control.

The Ladle Furnace also serves an important function of acting as a buffer between

EAF and Continuous Casting Machine to achieve sequence casting of several

heats together and thus helps in achieving higher yield of billets.

d) Vacuum Degassing

Most of the alloy steel grades for critical application like automobile, railways

and general engineering application require the liquid steel to be degassed under

vacuum to lower the content of harmful gases viz. hydrogen, nitrogen and

oxygen. The ladle after the ladle refining furnace processing is placed in a tank

and sealed by a cover. Argon is purged through the porous plug to stir the liquid

steel and vacuum upto 0.5 Torr applied for 15 to 20 minutes to lower the

hydrogen content to a level of less than 2 ppm and that of nitrogen to about 25-30

ppm. The alloying and addition of deoxidizers is carried out under vacuum.

After the completion of treatment, vacuum is broken and wire feeding of calcium

silicide wire is carried out for achieving further de-oxidation, reduction in

inclusion level and achieve modification in their morphology. The steel is now

ready for casting in continuous casting machine.

e) Continuous Casting of Steel

The Ladle after LF treatment or LF-VD treatment is carried by EOT Crane to the

Turret of Continuous Casting Machine. The turret is then rotated through 1800 to

bring the new ladle to casting position and take the previous empty ladle to

removing position. Molten steel is fed from the ladle into a tundish with stopper

controlled nozzles / metering nozzles to permit accurate apportioning of the steel

into the mould.


15

When commencing the casting operation, the head of the Starter Bar is tightly

sealed in the mould and retained by the driven rollers of the withdrawal and

straightening machine.

From the tundish, the steel is fed into the water cooled mould. A lubricant

(casting powder) is fed to the mould during casting to obviate wetting of the

mould wall by liquid steel and reduce friction between strand & mould. A mould

oscillator imparts an oscillating motion to the mould @ 120-200 c/s.

The strand leaving the mould with only a thin shell is guided by guide rollers

installed below the mould, is further solidified by direct spraying with water.

The casting speed is such as to ensure complete solidification of strand before it

enters the withdrawal-cum-straightening rolls.

The strand i.e. billet now approach the Torch Cutting Machine, the strand is sub-

divided to desired billet length of 6-12 m.

After the starter bar has left the withdrawal machine, it is disconnected from the

billet and moved to its storage station.

The billets then run forward on a roller table to the billet handling bay and are

transferred to the Cooling Bed. These are either cooled to 4000C and lifted by

magnet cranes to storage area. There is provision for hot charging of billets

directly to Billet Reheating Furnace of the Rolling Mill.

ROLLING OF BILLETS INTO ROLLED PRODUCTS

The billets are heated to rolling temperature of 1150 to 12000C in the Walking Beam Type Billet

Reheating Furnace. The billets shall then undergo high pressure water descaling before being

rolled for five (5) passes in a mechanized 3-High Single Stand Roughing Mill.

Further rolling shall take place in a 14-Stand Continuous Mill. Defective ends of the bar shall be

cropped after 7th

and 13th

pass by Crop-Cum-Cobble Shear.


16

The rolled bars 8 to 40 mm size for reinforcement application shall be quenched by high pressure

water online after final rolling to produce high strength TMT Bars. The carbon and alloy steel

bars are not subjected to this treatment.

The bars are then divided to cooling bed length, cooled onto an automatic rake type cooling bed.

The cooled bars are delivered onto the cooling bed run-out table for sub-dividing to customer

required length in cold shear provided with Measuring Gauge.

The bars are then bundled, tied, weighed and deposited on to the Bundle Bed of Bar Handling

System. These are lifted by EOT Magnet Crane for storage and despatch.

Alloy Steel bars undergo inspection by reopening the bundle for surface and internal defects,

conditioned and re-bundled for despatch.

3.0 Environmental Pollution Mitigation & Control Measures

Right from the extraction of ores to steel making through various processes involving ore

preparation, smelting, refining, casting and rolling to finished products, there is generation of

large but manageable quantities of waste products and pollutants at every stage. However, with

focused approach, the technologies, processes and equipments have been devised to profitably

utilize the waste products and bring down the pollutants to levels that are safe enough for the

personnel working in the steel plant as well as the general public and society at large.

Thus, modern steel plants are designed to provide safe and healthy environment to both the

operating personnel and the populace in the vicinity. The types of possible pollutants which need

to be tackled are

Air Pollution through discharge of waste gases containing Carbon Mono-oxide, Sulphur

Dioxide, Nitrogen oxides and Particulate Matter of flue dust, ash, iron oxide etc N

Water Pollution through discharge of water containing various chemicals, oils, grease etc.

Thermal Pollution through discharge of hot gases, steam and radiated heat to the

atmosphere.

Noise Pollution.

Land Pollution through discharge of solid wastes.

The pollution mitigation measures which would be considered as an integral part of the design of

the proposed plant facilities are outlined in the following sub-sections

3.1 Air Pollution Mitigation Measures

3.1.1 Raw Material Handling Area

Fugitive dust emissions generated from handling and transfer of the material would be

controlled by Dry Fog (DF) system, whereas dust suppression by water sprinkling would

be done at open stockyards.

All closed zone working areas such as raw materials handling zones, conveyor transfer

points, dust generation points at screens would be provided with multiple dust extraction

(DE) systems / dry fogging (DF) at all emission points to control the fugitive dust

emission.


39

Each dedusting system shall have a Bag Filter, an induced draft (ID) fan installed after

the bag filter and a 30 m high chimney to exhaust the air free from particulate matter to a

level of <50 mg/Nm3.

3.1.2 Sinter Plant

In the sinter plant, emissions are mainly generated from raw material handling, wind-box

exhaust, ignition furnace, sinter discharge from hot screen and the cooler.

Two air cleaning systems are installed for each sinter plant, one for the Head End

catering to the Wind-Box Exhaust, and the other at Tail End catering to the Ignition

Furnace, Hot screen area hood and circular cooler chimney exhaust etc. Each system is

provided with an Electrostatic Precipitator to clean the air and exhaust the same through

an ID Fan to chimney. The system capacity for Head End system is 210,000 m3/hr. and

that for Tail End, it is 170,000 m3/hr.

Dedicated de-dusting systems each comprising suction hoods, bag filters, IF Fan and Chimney

are provided for;

i) Product Sinter discharge area

ii) Flux & Fuel Crushing and conveying system

3.1.3 Blast Furnace

The BF gas containing dust is passed through a cyclone type dust catcher to separate out

coarse particles. The gas is further cleaned in a bag house and its pressure raised by a

booster fan for supplying to different consuming areas. In case of emergency the gas is

exhausted through a chimney and flared with a LPG burner.

For raw material handling system from stock house to BF, Dust extraction system

comprising suction hoods at screens, conveyor transport points are provided along with

ducting, bag filter, an ID Fan and a chimney

3.1.4 Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant

This plant shall have wet beneficiation process and hence is free from air pollution generation.


40

3.1.5 Pellet Plant

The induration process gas will be cooled by utilizing the heat in drying and preheating of the

green pellets and then passed through electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) to remove the particulate

matter before releasing the gases through an ID fan and stack of <50 m height. All the dust

generating areas will be covered with hoods and dust laden air will be sucked through suction

ducts and cleaned in a bag house before releasing to the atmosphere through a stack.

3.1.6 Electric Arc Furnaces

The Electric Arc Furnace will be provided with a combined Fume Extraction System (FES) for

catering to primary emission taking place during processing from the 4th

hole, secondary

emission taking place mainly during charging & tapping and emission in material handling at

conveyor transfer points. The primary gas with CO gas are fully combusted in a water cooled

combustion chamber, cooled upto 550°C in a water cooled duct and then further cooled to 300°C

in a natural trombone (hair pin type) cooler. These gases are then mixed with secondary air

(~60°C) sucked from a canopy hood installed at the shed roof of SMS building & with air from

material handling DE system duct to cool to 80-90°C. The gases are then cleaned in a bag house

and exhausted through ID Fans and a stack of 50m height. The stack shall be common for both

the EAFs.

3.1.7 Ladle Refining Furnaces

Each Ladle Furnace shall be provided with a dedicated Fume Extraction and Cleaning System

comprising suction hoods at LRF, suction hoods for material handling dust emitting zones and

conveyor transfer points, a bag filter and an ID Fan. The cleaned gases shall be led to

atmosphere through a stack of adequate height (>30 m).

3.1.8 Continuous Casting Machine

The Continuous Casting process comprising production of billets through solidification of liquid

steel through primary cooling in a water cooled copper mould and secondary cooling in open

water spray does not cause any air pollution. The steam produced in the open cooling chamber is

led to atmosphere through an ID Fan and a duct.


41

3.1.9 Rolling Mill Reheating Furnace

The exhaust flue gases from the furnace are discharged to the atmosphere through the stack each

of about 50m height. The stack height is decided in accordance with guideline given by pollution

control board.

3.2 Water Pollution Mitigation Measures

The proposed plant shall be designed on the modern concept of zero discharge by adopting

measures as outlined below:

Adoption of re-circulation systems.

The blow down of indirect cooling water system shall be used as make-up in direct

cooling water system.

The blow down of direct cooling water systems containing suspended particulates and

floating oils would be clarified in the waste water treatment plant. The clarified water

would be recycled to the process.

The power plant effluent would be back wash of DM plant and boiler blow down. The

waste water generated in these units would be neutralized in the neutralization pit and the

treated water would be utilized in dust suppression.

The plant sanitary waste water including canteen effluent would be treated in a modular

type sewage treatment plant for separation of floating oil and reduction of BOD and the

treated effluent would be used for dust suppression and maintenance of plant green belt.

3.3 Work Zone Pollution Mitigation Measures

o The work zone pollution would be mostly fugitive dust, heat and noise. The fugitive dust

emission in open area would be controlled by Dust Supression and Dust Extraction

Systems described earlier.


42

o Work zone thermal pollution would be abated by providing adequate thick refractory

lining in all process vessels generating heat. In addition to this, there would be provision

for forced draft cooling and ventilation of closed environment in the work zone.

o Noise arising from the machineries like crushers, vibrating screens, compressors,

blowers, fans, pumps etc. cannot be eliminated. The mitigation measures adopted for

such noise prone equipments would be done by installing these noisy equipment in a

separate building / housing so as to enhance the noise attenuation.

3.4 Solid Waste Disposal

The solid waste products in the proposed plant and their planned disposal measures are as

follows

Solid Waste Production Unit Disposal Measures
