Rourkela Steel Plant Status of the Implementation Schedule

SN. CONDITION IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE RSP has 6 no. of coke oven batteries. Battery No. 1, 3, 4 & 5 have been rebuilt & commissioned in the years 2007, 2016, 2010 & 2000 respectively. Battery No. 6 is a new Green field Battery which was commissioned on 01/04/2014, under this Expansion 1. Rebuilding of Coke Oven Batteries Project.

Coke Oven Battery No. 2 was put down since March, 2016 as it has outlived its life and due for rebuilding. PAH and BaP in the Coke Oven area are being monitored once in a year. VOCs in Monitoring of VOCs, PAH and BaP in 2. Coke Oven Stacks, ambient & work zone were monitored and analysis results stacks and ambient air. along with data interpretation are given at Annexure- 1 & 5. Monthly report covering Stack Reports are being sent to SPCB & CPCB since April, 2008 onwards every month, 3. Emissions, Ambient air quality and regularly. Six monthly reports are being sent to MoEFCC regularly. Waste utilization Monitoring of Ground water quality Ground water quality at waste disposal sites is being monitored and the six 4. at waste disposal sites – once in six monthly report of ground water quality along with data interpretation is given at months Annexure-7. Blast Furnace Slag : In-house Slag granulation facilities have already been installed in all Blast Furnaces viz., BFc No. 1, 4 & 5. The granulated slag is being sent to cement plants for production of slag cement. The present BFc Slag utilization is more than 100% .

SMS Slag : State of the art technologies have been adopted in steel making so that the SMS slag generation rate is minimized. The SMS slag is being utilized for Sinter Making through base mix route, charged into Blast Furnaces directly to replace lime stone and also used for pavement making and rail ballast and also used for reclaiming low lying areas inside plant premises. Enhancement of waste utilization to 5. 90%. Fly Ash : There is no additional fly ash generation after commissioning of this Expansion project as the additional power is being obtained from Top Recovery Turbo Generator of BFc#5, Power Blowing Station of Blast Furnace No. 5 (36 MW), Back Pressure Turbo Generator of Coke Oven Battery No.7 - CDCP and remaining 110 MW power will be purchased from State Grid.

As per the present agreement with NTPC, the joint venture power company NSPCL is managing the fly ash generated from captive power plant of RSP. The fly ash will be utilized for dyke height raising of existing Ash Ponds. The fly ash is also being given to local entrepreneurs free of cost. RSP is also bearing the transportation costs as per the latest Fly Ash Gazette notification. RSP has already developed Greenbelt in 2168.28 Ha. out of total land of Development of Green Belt to cover 6527.48 Ha. which is coming to 33.22 % of the total area. RSP has planted more 6. 33% of the total area in and around than 49 lakh trees so far including 1,46,397 no. of saplings planted during the plant. 2019-20.
