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. Presently no repair/rebuilding activity is going on. 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 at Blast Furnace 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 90% .

SMS Slag : State of the art technologies are adopted in steel making so that the SMS slag generation rate will be minimized. The SMS slag is being utilized for Sinter Making through base mix, charged into Blast Furnaces directly to replace lime stone and also used for pavement making and rail ballast and also used for Enhancement of waste utilization to reclaiming low lying areas inside plant premises. 5. 90%. Fly Ash : There is no additional fly ash generation after commissioning of proposed Expansion project as the additional power is being obtained from Top Recovery Turbine & Power Blowing Station of Blast Furnace No. 5 (36 MW) 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 construction of new Ash Pond “D”, dyke height raising of existing Ash Ponds and fly ash will be given to local entrepreneurs for utilization. All the fly ash will be utilized as per the Fly Ash Notification, 1999, amended thereon.

Development of Green Belt to cover RSP has already developed Greenbelt in 2252 Acres of land which is covering 6. 33% of the total area in and around more than 33% of the total area. RSP has planted more than 44.50 lakh trees so the plant. far including 50000 no. of saplings planted during 2017-18 till date.
