2.2 Demand � Supply Gap

There is huge demand of ferro alloys by various integrated and mini steel plants. Apart

from this, ferro alloys has a big export potential.

Asia is the fastest growing region in the world.

India is the 2nd fastest growing economy in Asia.

Per capita income of India is USD 705 against USD 42,000 in USA. This presents

huge potential of growth.

Steel consumption in India is 40 Kg/Capita (1 kg for Stainless Steel) against

world average of 185 Kg (15 kg for Stainless Steel). This again presents

enormous potential for growth in India.

For Stainless Steel capacity increase forecast for India is �

o 2006-07 _ 2.52 Million Tons (Long Product : 650 Th)

o 2015-16 _ 5.67 Million Tons (Long Product : 2.1 Mi.T)

o New investment of USD 3 Billion by 2015.

Industrial Growth of India & China in excess of 9/10%.

Production Bases are shifting to Asia and more particularly to China & India.

So are exports increasing.

India is bestowed with adequate resources of all raw materials to produce alloy

& stainless steel.

Based on the demand and availability of Manganese Alloys, the resultant gaps/

surpluses on all India basis has been worked out as furnished in Table 1.2.

TABLE-1.2

Source : Indian Ferro Alloys Producers Association.

It is observed that existing all India capacity is likely to face shortage of manganese

alloys in 2011-12 by 215,000 tones. This will increase to 975,000 tons in the year 2019-20.

Considering the export demand, country is likely to face shortage of 398,000 tons in

2011-12 and 1,310,000 tons in 2019-20.

2.3 Need for Capacity Expansion

Alloy Steel Industry

The presence of one or more Ferro Alloys Manganese, Silicon and Vanadium, among

others, enhances strength and durability. The use of alloy steel has increased

substantially across the industrial, consumer durables and automobile industries, the

demand for which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% across 2013-14.

Stainless Steel Industry

This value-added product enjoys corrosion resistance due to a minimum 10.5%

chromium presence. Ferro Chrome is used as deoxidizer in the production of stainless

steel. Stainless steel�s resistance to corrosion and staining, low maintenance and luster

make it an ideal base material for a host of commercial applications like utensils,

infrastructure, automobile, builders� hardware and railways.

There is no substitute for chromium in stainless steel production, and is widely

practiced as the substitute for nickel to some proportion.

The growth of Ferro Alloys Industry is directly linked with the growth of Iron and Steel

Industry which in turn depend upon its user industry i.e. infrastructures and housing,

automobiles, consumer durables etc. About 90% of world Ferro Alloy production is

consumed by the Iron and Steel Industry with balance 10% being consumed by

engineering sector.

Ferro Alloys Sector

The robust 7.5% growth in global steel production strengthened the upstream demand

for ferro alloys by 7% in 2007-08 and China recorded the highest demand for ferro

alloys, followed by India and Russia.

India, with a 5-7% share of the global ferro alloys industry, is among the 10 largest

producers of the material in the world. In India, majority of the ferro alloys furnances

are largely located in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Chattisgarh and Goa due to







9

proximity to mines. Most ferro alloy companies manufacture manganese or chrome

alloys.

Indian bulk ferro alloys supply constitutes of Ferro Chrome about 32%, Ferro

Manganese and Silicon Manganese about 62% and rest others.

India enjoys a natural advantage as it has the fifth-largest in chrome ore with a 100

million tones estimated reserve and the sixth-largest in manganese ore with an

estimated 176 million tones reserve.

2.4 Employment Generation

Industrialization uplift the socio-economic standard of local people surrounding the

plant site due to proposed capacity increase. During the construction phase work will

be generated for skilled, semiskilled and unskilled labors. Technical persons will be

recruited during the operation phase. It is estimated to employ direct / indirect

employment of 365-400 people of various skills.

3.2 Manufacturing Process

The project envisages setting up of a sub merged electrical arc furnaces with 9

MVA capacity. The capacity has been estimated to be utilized equally to

manufacture Silico Manganese and Ferro Manganese.

The production process using electrolytic process involves five main steps

namely

a) Raw material preparation

b) Stock house

c) Blending of inputs as per receipts

d) Electric arc melting & production

e) Sizing of the Alloys

The Raw Material preparation plant consists of crushers and screen through

with the sizing ore required for process is prepared. The details of the

manufacturing process is given in the Figure 3

The stack house comprises of four charging bins one each for Manganese ore

coke breeze quartzite dolomite. The raw materials are lifted to the charging

platform of the furnace with the help of electric hoist. As per pre-determined

charge mix, materials are fed into the furnace.

The lower ends of the electrodes are maintained at about 0.9 to 1.5 meters (3

to 5 feet) below the charge surface. Three phase electric current arcs from

electrode to electrode, passing through the charge material. The charge

material melts and reacts to form the desired product as the electric energy is

converted into heat. The carbonaceous material in the furnace charge reacts

with oxygen in the metal oxides of the charge and reduces them to base

metals. The reactions produce large quantities of carbon monoxide (CO) that

passes upward through the furnace charge. The molten metal and slag are

removed (tapped) through 1 or more tap holes extending through the furnace

shell at the hearth level. Feed materials may be charged continuously or

intermittently. Power is applied continuously. Tapping can be intermittent or

continuous based on production rate of the furnace.

19

Power / Energy

The power requirement of the company will be met from Damodar Valley Corporation

(DVC) to the tune of 8000 KVA (9 MVA). The Power Supply is intended from Damodar

Valley Corporation at a 33 KV feeder to the G.O.D.

Emergency Power

One 100 KVA diesel generating set is provided for supplying LT power to various

critical areas like cooling water pump, crane and lighting to take care of process work

during main power supply failure. Diesel @ 20 liters per hour will be required during

operation of DG.

3.4 Waste Water Generation

As the water requirement is only for cooling purpose and there would minimal

discharge to the outside area. Hence at present there appears no requirement

for any Effluent treatment plant. Domestic discharge from canteens and toilets

must be channeled through proper sewage channels and soak pits. Should any

situation arise for discharge for liquid effluents, necessary treatment facility

will be incorporated.

3.5 Air Emission

Activities of the material handling, machine operations, Debagging, Crushing and Sweeping

are the important aspects of air pollution. Cutting and welding operation, loading-unloading,

operation are mainly responsible for the release of heavy concentrations of SPM, RSPM, SO2,

Nox etc. However the overall impact may be rated as direct short-term, adverse and their

magnitude is from low to high. Water spraying is considerable as an important measure to

reduce the intensity of such pollution.

The details of stack emission (with APC) Table 4.2, the details of proposed

stack connected with fume extractor is given in Table 4.3

The following measures for minimizing adverse impact on the environment

have been incorporated

(i) Fume extraction system with appropriate Air pollution control System to

control the emissions from the process and fugitive emissions at furnace

will be installed. Particulate matter emission from de-dusting units will be

maintained below 100 mg/NM3.

(ii) All de-dusting units will be connected to a stack of height 30 m. The stack

height calculated for proper dispersion of SO2 (with the formula of H=

14Q0.3

. Where Q= emission of SO2 in kg/h, comes to 17.24 m and 19.46

m for the two stacks.

(iii) The fugitive emissions of suspended particulate matter (SPM) will be

maintained below the standards at a distance of 10 m (approx.) from the

source.

(iv) Appropriate disposal of solid waste.

(v) Possibility for utilization of waste heat will be explored for pre-heating and

/ or drying of raw materials and for utilization in adjacent plants.

The on site & off-site emergency plan will be an integral part of any major

hazard control system. It will be based on those accidents identified by the

works management, which could affect people and the environment outside

the works. The responsibility for the off-site plan will be likely to rest either

with the works management or with the local authority.







21

Fugitive Emission Control

Apart from the Stack attached to the SA Furnace, there would be dust

generation at the product tapping hole and in the raw material handling

section. To curb the spreading of the dust into the other areas of the plant the

management shall install Bag filter System at tapping hole and raw material

handling system to keep the atmosphere inside the plant clean and ambient

air quality within norms.

Fugitive emissions can also be kept low by making pucca haul roads within the

premises and making arrangements for water spraying at all the dusty places

in the premises and during loading, unloading process.

1. Control of Stack Emissions and Fugitive Emissions will have a direct impact

on the ambient conditions.

2. Water Sprinkling System at dusty areas and loading / unloading zone.

3. Storage of raw materials in covered space.

4. Development of planned green belt in the industry will also control ambient

conditions. The objective for providing plantations are as under:

a) To act as wind shelter and prevent air pollution in surrounding area.

b) To act as a natural sink to absorb dust and sequester carbon.

c) To act as a medium to absorb noise energy and reduce noise.

d) Plantations absorb air borne dust.

e) Plantations provide shed.

3.6 Solid Waste Generation

There will be no hazardous wastes from the plant process. Solid waste

generated will be:
