2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of project and project proponent

2.1.1 Project Proponent

M/s Pushp Steels & Mining Private Limited is a company incorporated under the

Companies Act 1956. Its Registered Office is located at Ajmeri Gate, Delhi. Mr.Atul Jain

and Mr. Sanjay Jain are the Directors of the Company. The Company was allotted Iron

Ore Mines in Hahaladdi, Bhanupratappur Tehsil in Kanker District, CG. The production

capacity of the mine is 400000 Tons/annum.

2.1.2 Identification of Project

The proposed steel plant project was planned to be established in Borai Industrial

Growth Centre, Durg in 2007. Land was acquired through lease from CSIDC.

Environmental Clearance was obtained in 2008. Consent to Establish for the project

has already obtained from Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board, Raipur.

Construction of the project was started in year 2010. Boundary wall, internal road

and civil foundation of one DRI kiln was done. Abruptly the project construction was

stopped due to force mejure circumstances leading non availability of financial

assistance from financial institutions. Now the steel market has revived and financial

institutions are considering financing the project. PSMPL on advise of CECB,

Chhattisgarh have been requesting for revalidation of EC, however the same has not

been done as yet. Since, the validity of EC has expired after 10 years, PSMPL has

decided to approach MOEF&CC to obtained a fresh EC for the project in order to

avoid any further delays.

2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the project

The proposed project falls under Category A, 3a of EIA Notification 2006. PSMPL is

operating an iron ore mine in Kanker District. Iron ore from this mine will be used

captively in the proposed steel plant. The iron ore fines will be converted to pellets and

used for making DRI. DRI and MS scrap will be used to make Billets. Billets will be

used for making automotive components in a machine shop. Surplus billets will be sold

to rolling mills located in CG. Ferroalloy plant will produce FeMn, SiMn and FeSi. Ferro

alloys are used as alloys for steel making. Steel Making using best Available

Technology pollution control systems is energy efficient and also generates less

wastes. Waste heat and dolochar wastes will be used for generating power. The project

will add to resource conservation by utilizing iron ore fines generated during the mining

of iron ore. Water is not required for iron and steelmaking process. Water is required

only for cooling of various machines and equipment. Therefore, no wastewater will be

discharged outside the plant premises. Wastewater will be appropriately treated and

reused / recycled within the plant premises. Domestic wastewater will be treated in

STP/ETP. Treated water will be used for gardening and dust suppression purpose.

Solid wastes will be utilized for various beneficial purposes. The solid wastes are not

hazardous. However, if any solid wastes is required to be disposed, it will be done in an

engineered landfill site. Spent oil and lubricants will be collected in drums and sold to

authorized re-processors. Proper Disaster Management Plan will be implemented

based on the risk assessment and mitigation measures. Therefore, this project will

cause minimal damage to the environment and all discharges will be far below the

prescribed limit.

2.3 Need of the Project and its importance to the country and or region

Steel is a basic commodity for economic growth of any country and the per capita

consumption is a measure of prosperity of a country. India is just entering the

developing mode. The per capita steel consumption has risen from 38 kg in 2005-06

to 59 kg in 2011-12. It is envisaged to rise to 77 Kg per capita by the year 2019-20,

which as per historical trends puts the country on the curve of steep growth.

The crude steel production capacity had increased from 51 million tonnes per annum

(MTPA) in 2005-06 to 125 MTPA in 2016-17.The world wide steel scenario also

shows a continuous growth in steel production. There was a growth of average 5.9%

in world crude steel production from 752 million tons in 1995 to 1329.7 million ton in

2008. In the year 2012 it has increased to 1547.8 million tons. Global Steel

Production has been growing consistently, driven by the growing demand all over the

globe. The Indian steel industry is ranked 4th in the world with an annual production

of 125 million tons in 2017.

3.5 Project Description with Process Details

3.5.1 Pellet Plant

The pellet making process comprises following steps:

Mixing & Balling: Iron ore fines containing 60-61% Fe, to be received from

Hahaladdi mines of the Company will be mixed with Bentonite and Water and

transferred to balling disc rotating with adjustable angle, frequency and speed for

higher degree of balling. Water (upto 1% depending on the moisture of ore) is

added by regulating valve during the process of balling to achieve the optimal

moisture of the mixed material for balling.

Drying and Pre Heating: The green ball produced by the balling disc will be sent

to the green ball distribution system in Traveling Grate room by belt conveyor. The

undersize (-8mm) and oversize (+16mm) balls will be separated and sent back to

the balling room via return system. The green balls of 8 to 16mm size range, called

qualified balls, are passed on to the grate bed of Travelling grate. The thickness of

the material (balls) bed on the grate will be kept 185mm. The green balls will pass

through 4 zones of the grate viz. drying zone-I and II, preheating zones I and II.

The temperature of these zones will be 300°C, 500°C, 700°C and 1100°C resp.

The green ball will be dried and preheated on the Travelling grate. After preheating

the green balls will attain enough strength, they will be discharged into Kiln through

discharging plate and large chutes.

Induration in Rotary Kiln:The preheated balls discharged into the Rotary Kiln will

be indurate for about 35 minutes while rolling, mainly due to heat radiation of the

flame produced by burning of pulverized coal. The induration temperature of 1200º

to 1250º is attained in the Rotary Kiln. The speed of the Kiln will be adjusted

according to variation of the raw material to determine retention time and

consequently the quality of the pellet. The indurated pellet will be discharged to the

receiving hopper of the annular cooler through Chute and fixed screen in the Kiln

head hood.

Prefeasibility Report of Steel Plant at Durg, Chhattisgarh

Pushp Steels & Mining Pvt Ltd Page 16

Annular Cooler: The Annular Cooler receives the red-hot-pellet with temperature

upto 1230º discharged from the Kiln, its particle size being 8-16mm. The pellet will

be distributed on the pallet bed in the annular cooler, upto 760mm thickness. The

annular cooler is provided with 3 air blowers. The pellets are cooled in 3 stages,

from 1230º C to 900ºC, from 900º to 550ºC and from 450ºC to 90-105ºC. The

discharged hot air from annular cooler will be used for drying, pre-heating and

indurating sections, thus most of the heat generated during pellet cooling will be

effectively utilized in the pellet production process. The pellet discharged from

annular discharge hopper after cooling is stacked in the finished Storage yard.

Main induced draught system: The waste fume is collected from the wind boxes of

travelling grate preheating section I, draught drying section I & II, dedusted by

electro static precipitator to reach the standard,and induced by main induced fan to

be discharged by chimney. The collected dust will be pneumatically transported

from duct channel, through duct and to dust bin in proportioning room.

3.5.2 DRI Plant:

Iron Ore and Coal along with Dolomite are fed continuously to the charge end of Rotary

Kiln which is inclined at 2.5% of drum length. Coal is also injected through a Coal

Throw Pipe at the discharge end of Kiln. Due to the inclination and rotation of Kiln the

charge material moves along the length of Kiln and it is discharged continuously after

processing. To supply heat for the process air is blown into the Kiln through central

burner and air pipes mounted on the Kiln shell. As the charge moves along the kiln, it is

heated by the gases which flow in opposite direction. The first section, approximately

half of kiln is called preheating zone where iron ore, coal and dolomite are dried and

heated to reaction temperatures using the heat released from the combustion of volatile

matter and carbon in the coal . The second half of kiln is called reduction zone where

major amount of Oxygen contained in the iron ore is removed leaving metallic iron (Fe).

De-sulphurisation in the Rotary Kiln is effected by calcined limestone/dolomite. The

chemical reactions taking place at various zones in the rotary kiln are as given below.

In the pre-heat zone, the reduction of iron oxide proceeds only to ferrous oxide (FeO)

Fe3O4 + CO = 3 FeO + CO2 ............................ (I)

Final reduction to metallic iron occurs in the metallization zone by reaction of CO with

FeO to form CO2 and metallic iron.

FeO + CO = Fe + CO2 ........................... (II)

Most of the CO2 reacts with the excess solid fuel in the kiln and is converted to CO.

CO2+C = 2CO ............................ (III)

The reduced iron ore -SPONGE IRON with unburnt char from rotary kiln gets

discharged into a Rotary Cooler. The heat will be dissipated indirectly by water spraying

into the outside of Cooler Shell. The material gets cooled to around 120°C.

3.5.3 Billet Making Process

The project envisages steel making facility through Induction Furnace route along with

Ladle refining furnace and continuous casting machine. The process involves charging

mix of raw material, mainly Sponge iron and M.S. Scrap into molten bath with constant

power track, by which, heat transfers into molten bath at constant voltage and KW to

melt the Iron and Steel at a temperature of 1550oC.

Melting the Charge in Induction furnace

Sponge Iron,Scrap and Lime form the charge for steel making in induction furnace.

After the furnace is switched on; current starts flowing at a high rate and a

comparatively low voltage through the induction coil 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 generate cut through the packed charge in

the crucible. As the magnetic fluxes cut through the scraps and complete the circuit,

they generate an induced current in the scrap. This induced current, as it flows through

the highly resistive path of the scrap mix, generates tremendous amounts of heat and

melting of scrap starts. As soon as the charge has melted clearly, any objectionable

slag is skimmed off, and the necessary alloying elements are added. When these

additives have melted completely, 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 the crucible is cleaned completely from any slag or metal droplets adhering to

the wall of the crucible and the furnace is now ready for charging again.

Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF)

After tapping the ladle is transferred on the tapping car to a position where the

overhead crane pick it up and transport it to the heating station where the remaining

slag builders are added. Ar/N2 bubbling is performed during all operations in the

secondary treatment station. The first heating period will last until the slag is fused, the

steel analysis is uniform and the steel temperature is high enough to enable good

sampling. While waiting for the sample analysis, heating is continued and trimming

alloying additions are given as soon as the laboratory analysis is received. The

temperature is increased to the aim temperature for casting. The main objectives of

secondary metallurgy include mixing and homogenizing; adjustment of chemical

compositions; temperature adjustment; de oxidation; removal of undesirable gases

(e.g. hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen); and improvement of the oxide purity by

separating non-metallic-inclusions.

Billet making through Continuous Casting Machine

Liquid Metal from Induction Furnace is carried in a ladle over the Con-cast Machine. The

liquid metal flows from the ladle through a slide gate system underneath it into water

cooled copper mould tubes which solidifies the liquid metal into a square shaped mould

which we call as M.S. Billets. From the considered casting cycle time, the number of

strands required to cast 100 mm2and 110 mm2 billets is worked out to be two. Based on

the above, 2-strand billet casting machine suitable for casting up to 160 mm2 Billets have

been selected.

Continuous Casting Machine (CCM): The liquid steel after secondary metallurgy is

transported to the “tundish” of CCM. This is an intermediate ladle with controllable

outlet. The ladles are preheated prior to accepting a liquid steel charge in order to avoid

temperature stratification in the tundish. When the liquid steel reached the desired

temperature; it is poured into the tundish. From the tundish it passes to a short water-

cooled copper mould in which no air is present and which performs oscillating

movements to prevent the steel from sticking. The mould gives the metal the desired

shape. When the metal leaves the casting mould, a “skin” of solidified steel has formed

and a large number of rolls guide the cast steel with a gentle curve toward a horizontal

position. At this point, the endless casting is cut into pieces with torch cutter. Billets and

round are cast in this way.

Automotive Components Making: The Billets will be used to make various

automotive components (like exhaust systems) in a Press Shop for use in cars, trucks,

scooters, etc using CNC machines of various capacities (25 tons to 125 tons capacity

CNC machines). There will be no water or air pollution or solid wastes generation from

this process.

3.5.4 Ferro Alloy Plant

In the submerged arc furnace electric power heats the raw materials and provide

energy to reduce the ore to a metallic state. Carbon serves as reducing agent and

fluxes are often added to facilitate removing the gangue materials present in ore as

slag. The practice is to mix the ore materials, the reducing agent, and any flux

outside of the furnace and then periodically charge this mixture (often called charge

Page 22: PRE -FEASIBILITY REPORT€¦ · Land : 11.421 hectares (28 acres) land allotted by Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation (CSIDC) . 100% land is industrial l and and

Prefeasibility Report of Steel Plant at Durg, Chhattisgarh

Pushp Steels & Mining Pvt Ltd Page 22

mixture) in to furnace. Although the charge mix is added periodically, the reduction

reaction and the metal production proceed continuously. The metal is usually allowed

accumulate until tapping occurs at appropriate intervals.

The term “submerged arc” is used because the carbon electrode is usually buried

deep in the furnace charge mix and the reduction reaction takes place near the tip of

the electrode. At the top of the charge mix little current flows between the electrodes

because of the high resistivity of the unmelted charge. As the charge mix descends

in the furnace, the non carbon portion of the charge begins to melt. As the carbon

heats, its resistance decreases providing a conductivity path between the electrodes.

This current flow creates intense heat needed for the high temperature and energy

required for the reduction reactions.

Most submerged arc furnace that produce ferroalloys uses self -baking electrode

system invented by the team led by C.W Soderberg. This system takes advantage of

the electric power used for the process to bake the electrode in place. A series of

cylindrical steel casings welded on the top of each other forms the electrode column.

Operators periodically add solid green carbon “paste” blocks to the top of the

column. The paste blocks melt to form the unbaked electrode shape. Vertical fins

which are attached to the casing carry the power into the carbon paste so that the

paste bakes to a solid carbon electrode in the casing. As the process consumes the

baked electrode, more electrode is slipped into the furnace. The self -baking

electrode system reduces electrodes cost then the purchase of prebaked amorphous

carbon electrodes. It allows the furnace to be larger since prebaked electrodes are

limited to some size.

The ferroalloys are manufactured in a submerged electric furnace by using the

following raw materials:-Manganese Ore, Carbonaceous/Reducing agent such as

coke/coal, Fluxes like quartz, dolomite.

The raw materials are mixed at a desired proportion in a weigh hopper and charged

into the furnace through charging tubes. Input of electrical energy through Soderberg

electrodes cause generation of heat energy, as the charge is having definite

resistance. Due to evolved heat, smelting of charges (Manganese / Silicon etc.)

takes place according to the following chemical reactions:-

Page 23: PRE -FEASIBILITY REPORT€¦ · Land : 11.421 hectares (28 acres) land allotted by Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation (CSIDC) . 100% land is industrial l and and

Prefeasibility Report of Steel Plant at Durg, Chhattisgarh

Pushp Steels & Mining Pvt Ltd Page 23

MnO + 2C === > Mn + 2CO

SiO + 2C === >Si + 2CO

2CO + O2 ==== > 2CO2

The respective ores and reducing agent (Carbon) is having gangue material like

SiO2, CaO, MgO etc. Addition of fluxes makes the reaction exothermic which

ultimately removes the gangue material present in ore & reductants.

During the process at an interval of 3-4 hrs. (Depending upon the capacity to handle

liquid Alloy & Slag), the liquid Alloy & Slag is tapped & drained out from the furnace

tap hole. The metal & slag are separated by virtue of difference in density by

providing a skimmer block placed in the sand pit. After cooling for 2-3 hours metal is

removed from the beds and allowed to cool further before it is sent for onward

processing as per desired size fraction. The alloys in lump from are then manually

broken and sieved for sizing. Input/Output ratio of metallurgical process is not

constant and purely depends on quality/ size of input material like ore, reductants &

fluxes. This also depends on operating parameters while producing different alloys.
