1.3 Manufacturing Process
1.3.1 Sponge Iron (DRI)
Refractory lined rotary kilns will be used for reduction of iron ore in solid state. A central
Burner located at the discharge end will be used for initial heating of the kiln.
Iron ore will be continuously fed into the kiln along with coal which has dual role of fuel as
well as reductant. Dolomite will be added to scavenge the sulphur from the coal. A
number of air tubes will be provided along the length of the kiln. The desired temperature
profile will be maintained by controlling the volume of the combustion air through these
tubes. The Carbon monoxide generated due to the combustion of coal, reduces the iron
ore and converts it into sponge iron. The rotary kiln is primarily divided into two zones viz.
the pre heating zone and the reduction zone. The preheating zone extends over 30 to 50
% of the length of the kiln and in this the moisture in the charge will be driven off and the
volatile matter in the coal will be burnt with the combustion air supplied through the air
tubes. Heat from the combustion raises the temperature of the lining and the bed surface.
As the kiln rotates, the lining transfers the heat to the charge. Charge material, pre-heated
to about 10000C enters the reduction zone. Temperature of the order of 10500C will be
maintained in the reduction zone, which is the appropriate temperature for solid state
reduction of iron oxide to metallic iron.
This hot material will be transferred to Heat exchanger. In Heat exchanger the material
will be cooled to 1600C. The cooler discharge material consists of sponge iron lumps,
sponge iron fines and char. Magnetic and non-magnetic material will be separated through
magnetic separators and stored in separate bins. The hot flue gases will be taken to a
Waste Heat Recovery Boilers and after heat recovery they will be treated in high efficiency

ESP and discharged into the atmosphere through stack whose height will be in accordance
with CPCB norms.
1.3.2 Sinter Plant
The proposed sinter plant complex will consist of one sinter Machine of suitable grate area
along with associated services facilities. The sinter plant is rated for a total production of
10,08,000 TPA of BF Sinter.
1.3.3 Blast Furnace
The blast furnace shop will comprise of furnace of capacity 1 x 2160 TPD. The blast furnace
is envisaged to operate with sized lump Pellets, coke, fluxes and additives. The hot metal
produced will be cast at pig casting machines to produce cold pigs. The liquid slag will be
granulated at cast house granulation unit. The BF top gas will be cleaned in dust catcher
and gas cleaning system and distributed to the stoves, burners for runner drying, boilers
for process and process steam supply. The surplus gas will be utilized for power
generation. 30 MW power will be generated with BF gas.
1.3.4 Power Generation
1.3.4.1 Through WHRB Boiler
The hot flue gases from DRI kilns will pass through waste heat recovery Boilers to recover
the heat and to generate 2 x 15 MW electricity. The gases after heat recovery will pass
through ESPs and then discharged through chimneys into the atmosphere for effective
dispersion of emissions into the atmosphere.
1.3.4.2 Through PCF Boiler
The concept of burning coal that has been pulverized into a fine powder stems from the
belief that if the coal is made fine enough, it will burn almost as easily and efficiently as a
gas. The feeding rate of coal according to the boiler demand and the amount of air
available for drying and transporting the pulverized coal fuel is controlled by DSC / PLC.
Pieces of coal will be crushed between balls or cylindrical rollers that move between two
tracks or "races." The raw coal will then be fed into the pulverizer along with air heated to
about 343oC from the boiler. As the coal gets crushed by the rolling action, the hot air dries
it and blows the usable fine coal powder out to be used as fuel. The powdered coal from
the pulverizer is directly blown to a burner in the boiler. The burner mixes the powdered

coal in the air suspension with additional pre-heated combustion air and forces it out of a
nozzle similar in action to fuel being atomized by a fuel injector in modern cars. Under
operating conditions, there is enough heat in the combustion zone to ignite all the
incoming fuel. 330 MW of power will be generated.
1.3.4.3 Through Blast furnace
The blast furnace gas coming-out from the furnace will be used as fuel for stoves, Ladle.
Any excess gas will be let to Sinter Plant as fuel. A total of 30 MW will be generated by
utilizing flue gases from blast furnace.
