3.5 Project description with process details

3.5.1 Direct Reduced Iron (EC obtained for 1.0 MTPA)

The direct reduced iron process reduces the iron oxide in the mined iron ore using non-coking coal, air and fluxes like dolomite. The direct reduced iron contains 94% iron and iron oxide, the balance being gangue materials like oxides of aluminium, silicon and manganese.

The reduction is carried out in an inclined horizontal rotary kiln, which rotates at a pre-determined speed. DRI gases flow counter-current to the kiln feed. The temperature at the product discharge end in a rotary kiln is about 950-1050°C compared to 750-900°C towards the feed end. The counter-current flow of hot DRI gases enables it to remove the moisture content from feed. The hot DRI gases contains huge amount of fine dust comprising oxides and un burnt carbon and toxic carbon monoxide. The flue gas coming out from the rotary kiln passes through a dust settling chamber, in which the heavier dust is settled down (15-20%). The bottom of the dust settling chamber is immersed in the wet scrapper water which is working as the sealing to avoid the gas leakage and false air entry. The gas next passes through the After Burning Chamber (A.B.C.) in which the carbon monoxide and un-burnt carbon are burnt completely. This conversion process is exothermic and the temperature of gases rises to 1000-1050°C.

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 6 The flue gas is taken to the Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB), where the recoverable heat is utilized for generation of high pressure steam. The flue gas is next passed through an Electro Static Precipitator (ESP), where the gas is cleaned up to maximum level. The settled particles on electrodes are scrapped from the electrostatic precipitator and disposed in the earmarked area using dumpers as ESP dust. The cooled and cleaned flue gases are released to atmosphere by forced draft stack.

Later the sponge iron is screened into two size fractions i.e. –3 mm & +3 mm. +3 mm fraction directly goes for usage, -3 mm fraction can be either used directly where ever it is possible or is to be briquetted by using molasses and hydrated lime as binders.

The basic reactions in this process are as given below:

C + O 2 = CO 2 CO 2 + C = 2CO Fe 2O3 + CO = Fe 3O4 + CO2 Fe 3O4 + CO = FeO + CO 2 FeO + CO = Fe + CO 2

The reduced iron is discharged into coolers where it is cooled by spraying water and conveyed through conveyors for magnetic separation and subsequent storage/ consumption.

3.5.2 Pig Iron/ Hot Metal (EC obtained for 0.6 MTPA)

Mini Blast Furnace is a vertical shaft where the raw material mixes i.e. Coke, Iron Ore and fluxes travels down the shaft, while air is blown in, at pressure, up the shaft. The molten iron and slag (by-product) is withdrawn from the bottom of the furnace.

The mini blast furnace consists of i) Raw material handling and storage system, ii) Burden preparation system, iii) Top pressurizing and sealing system, iv) Hot blast supply, v) Blast pre heater, vi) Gas scrubbing and cleaning system, vii) Cast house slag granulation, viii) The blast furnace lined with refractory, ix) Hot metal handling and casting system, x) Utilities, xi) Power supply and xii) Instrumentation and control system.

The raw materials, i.e. Sinter, Iron Ore, coke, dolomite, limestone, quartzite and manganese ore are received in the raw materials storage yard and conveyed to the stock house by ground hopper and conveyors. All the required raw materials are stored in day bins. Iron ore and coke is screened. The raw material is fed from the top by a charging conveyor through a top charging system, which also distributes the charge uniformly in the furnace and also performs the task of sealing the furnace from the atmosphere.

The blast for the mini blast furnace (MBF) is generated through a system of fans connected in series in such a way that any number of fans can be

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 7 operated at a time. The cold blast is preheated in hot blast stoves, which consists of continuous checkers shaped bricks, which is preheated by blast furnace gas to deliver a blast at temperature of upto 1200 oC. The main blast furnace is built of structural steel plate, which is cooled by stave coolers.

The furnace has one tap hole from where both hot metal and slag are taken out. A skimmer plate separates the slag. The hot metal flows into a ladle, while the slag is conveyed to the slag granulation system from where the slag is removed by a front-end loader. The hot metal is taken away in the ladle to the steel melting shop. The process flow diagram is shown in Fig 1.

Sinter will be used to the maximum extent in MBF after expansion. The capacity of sinter plant is also be enhanced suitably. Advantages of use of sinter in blast furnace are, improved permeability, elimination of 60 – 70% sulphur from ore during sintering, increase in softening temperature and narrowing down of the softening range, elimination of moisture, hydrated water and other volatiles. Modern high-performance blast furnaces achieve improved performance by prior physical and metallurgical preparation of the burden, which improves permeability and reducibility.

3.5.3 Blooming Mill

Sunflag have the blooming mill facility to make bigger round of size ranging from 60 mm to 160mm and round corner square (RCS) size ranging from 63mm to 160mm. 70 TPH capacity walking beam furnace, High pressure descaler, Two high reversible stand are supported by turn over cooling bed.

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 8 3.5.4 Combustor (Proposed: 9.5 MW)

The manufacturing process of Direct Reduced Iron Plant after modification by installing AFBC (Combustor) is given below:

AFBC is an equipment, where combustion takes place by burning of coal and generation of flue gases upto 1100 deg.C. High temperature flue gas will be supplied to WHRSG, where steam generation at the rate of 45 tons/hour by feeding coal at the rate of 250 tons/day will take place. This AFBC is a spare equipment for Kiln of DRI Plant-I (DRP-1).

The flue gases from the AFBC containing carbon monoxide and unburnt coal fines are burnt in the Waste Heat Recovery Steam Generator (WHRSG). The burnt flues gases get cooled in heat exchanger of the WHRSG. These flue gases are then cleaned to remove particulate matter through electrostatic precipitator. The settled particles on electrodes are scrapped from the electrostatic precipitator and disposed in the earmarked area using dumpers as ESP dust.

The cooled and cleaned flue gases are released to atmosphere by forced draft stack of 55 m height.

Coal consumption in existing manufacturing process (DRP-1) is 725 Metric tonne/day and after modification by addition of combustor, the coal consumption will be 250 tonne/day, Hence there is a reduction in coal consumption and the pollution load after modification will be also reduced. This is a case of only minor modification & there is no change in existing products and quantity.

It is planned to either operate existing DRP-I Kiln or modified AFBC.

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 9 3.5.5 Coke Oven Plant (EC obtained for 0.25 MTPA)

Coke is an essential raw material for manufacturing of iron in Mini Blast Furnace. The total requirement of coke is about 650 Kgs. per 1000 Kgs. of Iron/ Hot Metal produced in Mini Blast Furnace. The market scenario of metallurgical grade coke with respect to price and availability is extremely volatile at present because of insufficient production capacity in India and worldwide. The present demand surge of Coke had made the scenario even worse in last couple of years. In view of the same Sunflag has envisaged installing a coke oven plant of 2,50,000 TPA capacity. The main advantages of the same are as below:

Insulate company from any coke price shocks, ensure continuous supply of quality coke to Mini Blast Furnace for smooth/uninterrupted operations and Further improve cost efficiency of Mini Blast Furnaces. The non recovery type of coke oven, also known as bee-hive type, is proposed. In this system coal is heated at 1100 -1200°C in presence of restricted supply of air. Thus, coal yields only coke and the volatile matter are burnt to generate heat. This heat is then utilized for carbonization of the coal inside the oven and the burnt flue gas is released in the atmosphere. Hence, besides the above advantages Sunflag has an option to utilize the flue gases of Coke Oven plant for generation of electricity in future.

Considering the need of Sunflag as well the availability of various types of coal and also verifying the supplier’s capabilities, the technology being offered by China is found to be best and most suitable. The distinct advantage is clean and pollution free operating process, freedom to use non-coking coal and weakly coking coal, low capital investment and option to use waste heat for generation of electricity. The need of pollution free operation is obvious and latest pollution free technology will have longer useful life. The need for using other than coking coal is for the reasons of cost control and supply management, the coking coal as compared to anthracite is not only costlier by about 25 % but also difficult to get in large quantities. The initial capital cost is also low as compared to the conventional beehive type Coke ovens. More so the Coke ovens designed by this technology can be of any size starting from capacity 50,000 TPA, whereas the conventional Coke ovens used to be around one million tonnes.

3.5.6 Captive Power Plant (EC obtained for 90 MW)

Process flow diagram of the captive power plant is given in Fig 2 . The waste gases from the DRI kiln exhaust are passed through WHR Boiler that is top supported and is a three pass natural circulation boiler.

The approximate quantity of the heat available in these waste gases is about 36.7 million kcal/hr. WHR Boiler utilizes heat of about 29.7 million kcal/hr for generating steam. FBC boiler of 50 TPH, 64 kg/sq. cm, 485°C consumes as fuel the dolochar generated in DRI Plant with addition of coal

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 10 fines/ coal. The total heat input required for this boiler is about 39 million kcal/hr.

The existing power plant is of 30 MW capacity and the additional 60 MW will be put up as per the sanctioned received in EC 02.05.2017. However, consent to estabilish from MSPCB vide letter no. PCBBO/RO/P&P/CE/CC- 07 dated 20.09.2005 for 24 MW had been obtained out of which 5 MW had already been commissioned. Thus, balance 19 MW is available, which would take the total power generation from the entire plant to 109 MW.

Principle:- The proprietary molecular sieve is the advanced technology which separates compressed air into oxygen enriched and nitrogen enriched streams. The molecular sieve is packed in adsorption vessels for contacting with an ambient compressed air feed stream. The properties of the molecular sieve are specifically tailored to remove gases, such as water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. These gases preferentially diffuse and adsorb into the molecular sieve pore structure. Thus, they are selectively removed as the compressed feed air travels upward through the adsorption vessel. The resultant product from the separation process is an enriched oxygen stream.

Process Description:- Compressed ambient air is fed to the VSA System at the minimum inlet pressure required in order to achieve the specified product capacity. The compressed air is fed, via the air blower, to one of the adsorption vessels where the oxygen and nitrogen are preferentially separated by the proprietary molecular sieve. The air is dried as it passes upward through the adsorption bed. The nitrogen is then removed as the dried air continues upward through the molecular sieve. Nitrogen diffuses through the molecular sieve pore structure and preferentially adheres to the molecular sieve at a considerably higher density than oxygen. Therefore, most of the nitrogen is retained in the molecular sieve while the oxygen tends to flow on through more freely.

Air separation occurs in one vessel and at the end of the adsorption cycle, pressure is rapidly equalized between the vessels. The feed air is then switched to the second vessel where the adsorption process continues. The first vessel is further depressurized down to atmospheric pressure and then evacuated by a vacuum blower. This depressurization/evacuation regenerates the molecular sieve by allowing water and nitrogen to devolve from its pore structure; thus, conditioning the molecular sieve for another adsorption cycle.

Diversion of the inlet air stream from one vessel to the other is controlled by pneumatically actuated process control valves. The valves are precisely sequenced by a solid state programmable controller; thus, providing the cycle uniformity and repeatability necessary for consistent quality product oxygen. The solid-state controller allows for reliable, operator-free, system operation. All system functions and safety interlocks are constantly monitored by the controller. The oxygen product passes through a low- pressure oxygen buffer vessel and is then compressed by an Oxygen Compressor to the specified product delivery pressure.

3.5.8 Coal Washery

In order to beneficiate the crushed coal, a coal washery has been installed wherein crushed coal undergoes sieve screening for removal of stones etc., water washing for removal of dust and coal powder, separation of coal and water by centrifugal force in centrifuge, thickener & filter press. The washed

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 12 coal is then conveyed to coal bunkers of DRI plant for its use as fuel and coal fines/ rejects recovered at coal washery are taken to CPP for use as fuel.

Education, Hospitals, drinking water, power supply, post and telegraph, banks, communication and approach roads are present in the villages in buffer zone within 15 Km of study area. The same is attached as Annexure-7 of Form-1.

6.0 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

6.1 Industrial area (processing area)

The existing plant occupies an area of 200 ha covering factory, colony and amenities. No additional land is required for the proposed amendment. Open area (0.5 ha) within the existing plant will be utilised for installation of additional units. Refer section 4.4, 4.5 and 5.4 earlier for more details.

6.2 Residential area (non processing area)

No additional residential colony is proposed.

6.3 Green belt

The green belt equivalent to 33% of the plot area has been developed.

6.4 Social infrastructure

Refer section 4.8 and 5.4

6.5 Connectivity

Refer Section 4.1

6.6 Water management (Quantity & source of water)

With respect to the proposed amendments, there can be two scenarios for additional water requirement:

i. When combustor is not operating then the additional water requirement will remain same.

ii. When combustor will be operational, the DRP-1 water requirement of 125 KLD will become zero but combustor requirement of 2 KLD will be there in addition to above units. Therefore there will be decrease in water consumption by 123 KLD

6.7 Sewerage system & industrial waste management

With respect to the proposed amendments, liquid effluent will be generated from the following:

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 18 A. 7 KLD effluent will be reduced during the shutdown of DRP-1.

B. The effluent generated(20 KLD) from the PSA oxygen plant will replace the effluent generated from cryogenic oxygen plant, which will be dismantled.

So the effluent generation will remain same when combuster is operation and decrease by 7 KLD when DRP-1 will be operational.

6.8 Solid waste management

In addition to the facilities for which EC was granted on 02.05.2017, the following additional solid waste management measures are envisaged:

Z 130 TPD of Dolo Char will be reduced during the shut down of DRP-1. Z 61 TPD of ash will be generated from combustor operation during shut down of DRP-1 which will be used in low lying areas, backfilling and brick making.

6.9 Power requirement & supply / source

There will be decrease in electricity requirement (3.53 MW) for operation of additional/amended units shall be as follows:

Z DRP1 shut down = -3 MW Z Combuster = +1.4 MW Z Oxygen plant = -3.63 MW Z PSA Oxygen Plant = +1.7 MW

7.0 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT PLAN

There will be no rehabilitation and resettlement as the proposed amendments are within the existing plant.

8.0 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

8.1 Project Schedule

The project will be completed within 18 months after the grant of EC.

8.2 Cost of the Project

The total project cost works to Rs 52 crores approximately.

9.0 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS)

With respect to the environmental impact from the overall plant, based on table given in Annexure 5 of enclosed Form 1 , the following are the conclusions:

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 19 1. Manpower - No change will be there as excess manpower from other sections of the steel plant shall be utilized in the additional/alternate units stated above.

2. Raw Material - There will be reduction by 1070 TPD (~54 trucks/day of 20T) during the shut down of DRP-1 due to no consumption of iron ore and dolomite. No other changes in the raw materials of the integrated steel plant will be there as the additional/alternate units stated above are intermediaries and do not effect the overall output or input.

3. Fuel (Coal) - The coal consumption of DRP-1 (725 TPD) will reduce due to shut down but operation of combustor will require 250 TPD coal. Thus, decrease in coal shall be there to the tune of 725-250 = 475 TPD (~24 trucks/day of 20T).

4. Transportation - The overall traffic from the steel plant will reduce as explained in points 2 and 3 above. Approximately 78 trucks/day will reduce when combustor will be operational.

5. Air Emissions - Air emissions are affected by (i) Stack emissions, (ii) Fugitive emissions & (iii) Emissions due to transportation. The net emission will not increase due to following:

a) Stack emissions - The emissions from stacks are due to fossil fuel consumption or particulate matter emission from process. Since, the overall coal consumption will decrease by 475 TPD, the net emissions will be lower than those sanctioned vide EC dated 02.05.2017 and previous amendment dated 12.01.2012.

b) Fugitive emissions - Since there is no increase in incoming raw material but decline in coal, the emission due to their handling will decrease overall. There will be emissions due to material handling which will be mitigated with control measures like sprinklers, foggers, bag filters and plantation. Thus, the overall emissions from the plant will stay within previously sanctioned capacity as per EC dated 02.05.2017.

c) Emissions due to transportation - The overall emission due to transportation will decrease as there is decrease in incoming transportation as explained in point 4. The raw material and fuel will decrease while outgoing products and solid waste will remain same.

6. Water Consumption - There can be two scenarios for additional water requirement:

a) When combustor is not operating then the additional water requirement for all above equipments will remain same.

Pre-feasibility Report - Amendment in configuration of EC dated 02.05.2017 of SISCL 20 b) When combustor will be operational, the DRP-1 water requirement of 125 KLD will become zero but combustor requirement of 2 KLD will be there in addition to other units. Therefore the total additional water requirement for all above equipments will decrease by 123 KLD.

7. Effluent Generation - The effluent generation will remains same when combuster will not be operational and there will be reduction of effluent generation by 7 KLD when combuster will be operational.

8. Solid Waste (For Disposal) - The solid waste generation will remains same when combuster will not be operational and there will be reduction of solid waste by 69 TPD when combuster will be operational.

9. Energy Consumption - There will be decrese in energy consumption by 1.93 MW when combuster will not be operational but PSA plant will be in operation and total decrease by 3.53 MW when combuster will be operational and PSA will be in operation.

As the overall production of the steel plant remains unchanged and the impacts of the changes in the intermediary units during the intermediary steps of steel production will not create any additional impact, the overall impact of the entire steel plant remains same as appraised during the process of obtaining environmental clearance dated 02.05.2017. There will be no change in total production of steel.
