Now it is proposed to increase the capacity of the unit by installing four numbers Induction furnace of capacity 08TPH each for manufacturing of Steel Ingots, Billets, Blooms at behind Uttam Steel Mill, Talwara Road, Mandi Gobindgarh, Dist- Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab. It is about 5 Kms from Mandi Gobindgarh bus stand and about 50 km from Chandigarh and 45 km from Ludhiana on NH-44 highway. The existing area of the plot is about 7.5 Acres and about 5.5 Acres land will be acquired for expansion purpose. The capacity of the unit after expansion will be Billets, Steel Ingots & Blooms will be 400MTD and TMT bars, rounds, flats & angles will be 335MTD. 3.1 Raw Materials -The raw materials used in the manufacturing of steel Ingots / Billets are as under: i) MS/CI Scrap, Sponge / Pig Iron, Ferro Alloys:- These will be sourced from Domestic as well as International Markets. -The raw materials used in the manufacturing of structural sections are as under: ii) Steel Ingots and Billets: - These will be sourced from own unit. 4 3.2 Power The existing power of the unit is 2500KW. The proposed power requirement of the unit will be 14000KW. After expansion power demand will be 16500KW. This demand will be met by sourcing the power from Punjab State Power Corporation limited from nearby Sub-station. 3.3 Water Water consumption for the unit will be small as the requirements are only for cooling system where water will be re-circulated in a closed circuit. The existing requirement of the fresh water is about 15 KLD which include 10 KLD for makeup water is required for meeting the evaporation losses in the cooling circuit and 5 KLD for domestic purpose. After expansion total fresh water required will be 37 KLD which would be met from ground water through a tube-well already existing within the premises. Water balance of the project has been shown in Fig. 3.1 5 Figure: 3.1 WATER BALANCE FLOW DIAGRAM (KLD) Supply Water over head Tank Domestic Water Cooling Tower Supply Tank (1200) (12) Consumption ( 2 ) Cooling for STP furnace (10) Evaporation (25) For Irrigation Clear Water Tank purpose for (1175) Plantation 6 3.4 Manpower The requirement of personnel for the proposed plant has been made keeping in view of the following: Technical concept of plant, including process control and instrumentation. Smooth and efficient operation of the plant. Effective co-ordination between the various departments within the plant. Optimum organization will well defined and judicious job distribution Optimum utilization of different grades of workmen and supervisory staff and Maximum capacity of the facilities. In all there are about 100 persons working in the unit out of which no persons will stay in the factory except watchman. After expansion about 250 persons will be working in the unit. 7 3.5 Manufacturing Process Steel Ingots/Billets: 1) By Induction furnace MS Scrap is put into the Electric furnace pot through magnetic conveying system, where it is heated to 1700 0C. Scrap is melted and is heated for about 90-100 minute. In the molten steel some Ferro alloys are added according to the carbon contents in the scrap. The molten steel is then put in moulds with the help of hydraulic crucible where, after cooling, the steel Ingots are taken out from the moulds and the same is ready for dispatch. In order to keep the temperature of the furnace within the desired limits, water is circulated around the furnace coils and make-up water is added daily. TMT Bars and other Structural Steel Section: These are produced by heating the Ingots & Billets received from the manufacturing process to about 1150– 12000C so that they can be converted into the desired sections through rolling. They are then cooled and cut into proper sizes for dispatch. 8 3.6 OTHER FEATURES: The plant would incorporate the most modern control system using the latest microprocessor based Dust Control System. Cooling water circuit is close circuited, thereby ensuring no generation of waste water. The process, selected envisages re-cycling all the material collected in the pollution control equipment whereby ensuring no generation of solid waste. The plant lay out is so arranged that the major production units are laid in a straight line whereby minimizing/ avoiding the various transfer points. 9 4. BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS 4.1 The State Punjab is one of the progressive States in the Northern part of India. It derives its name from five rivers which used to flow through the State before partition of the Country in 1947 viz Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chenab, and Jehlam. After partition two of the rivers i.e. Chenab and Jehlam went to Pakistan Punjab and the other three remained in Indian Punjab. The economy of the State is dependent mainly on Agriculture. Punjab has over 2.04 lakh small and medium industries and about 600 large scale industries. It leads in the manufacture of machine and hand tools; printing and paper cutting machinery; auto parts and electrical switch gear. The State also provides more than 75% of the country's requirement for bicycles, sewing machines, hosiery and sports goods. It has also made big strides towards industrialization. A number of Industrial areas have been developed by the State. Ludhiana, Jallandhar, Amritsar and Mohali are famous for Large and Medium scale industrial units. 10 4.2 Fatehgarh Sahib District The historic and pious district of Fatehgarh Sahib came into existence with effect from 13th April, 1992, Baisakhi Day deriving its name from Sahibzada Fateh Singh, the youngest son of Guru Gobind Singh. It is bounded by Distt of Ropar in the North, Patiala in the South, Mohali and Part of Patiala in the East Ludhiana in the West it is about 20 Kms towards the west of Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab. The economy of the district depends mainly on agriculture and allied activities. The main towns are Sirhind, Bassi Pathana, Amloh, Khamano & Mandi Gobindgarh. The last is also known as the 'Steel Town of India' having a good number of steel rolling mills. Besides, numerous industrial units are engaged in the manufacturing of sewing machine parts, centrifugal pumps, bus/truck body building and mining machinery. 4.3 Project Site The project is located at behind Uttam Steel Mill, Talwara Road, Mandi Gobindgarh of Fatehgarh Sahib Dist of Punjab on Delhi-Ludhiana Highway, NH-44, It lies near Long 76o-19’ and Lat: 30o-39’ and is at an Altitude of about 266m above mean sea level.
