(i) Sinter Plant
Sintering is an agglomeration process which converts the iron ore fines into
porous mass to make them as feed material for blast furnace iron making.
Sinter plant with 1.06 MTPA production capacity is planned with a sinter
machine of 90 sq. m size in expansion with necessary accessories like flux
and fuel crushing plant, circular cooler, mixing drums, product screening
facility, waste gas system, etc.
The sinter plant will consist of the following main technological units.
JSW STEEL LIMITED1.3 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at
Pottaneri, Salem, Tamilnadu Pre-feasibility Report
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 2015 MECON Limited. All rights reserved
Page 19 of 51
Fuel and flux crushing unit
Flux screening unit
Storage and Proportioning unit
Primary mixing room
Secondary mixing room
Sintering and cooling unit
Waste gas dedusting unit
Main exhaust fan unit
Cold sinter screening unit
Plant dedusting units
The coke breeze generated in coke oven plant and blast furnace will be
recycled in sinter plant as solid fuel for sintering. The recycled material from
gas cleaning plant of blast furnace is also utilized. Flux materials like
limestone and dolomite will be crushed to <3 mm size in crushing plant and
stored in the proportioning bins. The coke breeze will be crushed to fines in
the range of 0 – 3 mm size using roll crushers and stored in proportioning
bins. All the raw materials will be mixed into a homogeneous mixer and
nodulised in mixing drums before charging onto sinter machine. Mixed gas
will be used as the fuel in ignition furnace in the sinter machine. Sintering will
take place in the machine and the hot sinter will be discharged to the circular
cooling machine. The cooled sinter will be screened to separate the fines <5
mm from the product sinter. The screened product will be dispatched to blast
furnace.
(ii) Blast furnace
The blast furnace is a vertical counter-current heat exchanger as well as a
chemical reactor in which burden material charged from the top descend
JSW STEEL LIMITED1.3 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at
Pottaneri, Salem, Tamilnadu Pre-feasibility Report
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 2015 MECON Limited. All rights reserved
Page 20 of 51
downward and the gasses generated at the tuyere level ascend upward.
The inside profile of the furnace from top to bottom is termed furnace throat,
shaft, belly, bosh and hearth. The throat is the top part of the furnace and
includes the installation necessary for charging coke and burden materials
and drawing off the top gasses. The top gas is routed from the furnace
top to the gas purifiers and then to the consumption zones. The profile of
the furnace widens in the shaft that follows. The widening of the furnace
chamber from top to bottom is necessary to avoid hanging and scaffolding
of the burden in the blast furnace when the raw material expands during
heating. The height of the shaft is about 3/5 of the total height of the
furnace. The shaft is followed by the belly and bosh. The profile again
narrows in the bosh, as this is the part of the furnace, where the stock
column starts to melt the hearth is the lower cylindrical part of the furnace
where the fluid slag and the hot metal accumulate. Arranged in the upper
part of the hearth are water-cooled tuyeres made of copper. The hot air for
combustion is injected through these into the blast furnace. Hot metal is
tapped through the tap hole, which is opened by power driven drills into a
train of ladles kept below the runner of the cast house. Slag comes along
with the metal and is skimmed off with the help of skimmer plate towards
slag runner and is granulated and collected in the slag granulation plant. The
tap hole is tightly sealed with a mud gun after tapping process is complete.
Raw material (ore, sinter, coke) are screened before being charged into the
blast furnace through conveyors or skip. Air for combustion in the blast
furnace is blown from turbo blowers which is preheated in hot blast stoves to
temperatures around 1200°C, which is then blown through tuyeres.
In to the blast furnace. Each blast furnace is equipped with minimum three
stoves which operate alternatively. Preheating of air helps in reducing fuel

consumption in the furnace.
The useful volume of the proposed BF’s shall be 650 m3 X 2 No’s with total
production of 1.3 MTPA gross hot metal and after considering handling
losses the net hot metal available for steel making shall be 1366000 TPA.
The feed charge to BF shall consist of 75% sinter, 25% pellet or lump ore.
(iii) Steel making shop
The Energy Optimizing Furnace (EOF) operates as a batch melting process
producing batches of molten steel known "heats". The EOF furnace
operating cycle is called the tap-to-tap cycle and is made up of the
following operations:
Furnace charging.
Melting.
Refining.
De-slagging.
Tapping.
Furnace turn-around.
Modern operations aim for a tap-to-tap time of less than 40 minutes.
EOF shall be equipped with atmospheric injectors, tuyers & supersonic
lancers. Hot metal from the blast furnace is poured through launders. Oxygen
lances for refining of the liquid bath.
The present EOF- 1 is of capacity 1x45 T/heat and EOF 2 is of capacity
1x65 T/heat. EOF-1 will be augmented to 65 T/heat size in expansion. This
JSW STEEL LIMITED1.3 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at
Pottaneri, Salem, Tamilnadu Pre-feasibility Report
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 2015 MECON Limited. All rights reserved
Page 22 of 51
will be capable of producing 1260000 TPA of liquid steel. The metallic feed
to EOF shall consist of 85% Hot metal and up to 15% solid charges
depending on the availability of scrap.
The liquid steel produced from EOF & LD Converter shall be subjected to
secondary metallurgy operation in ladle furnace with vacuum degassing.
. (iv) Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF)
Secondary steel treatment in the LRF provides the production of steel with
high precision as for chemical composition and temperature, allows
desulphuration of metal to be brought up to the specified parameters, the
amount of nonmetallic inclusions to be reduced and it also serves as the
accumulating and damping facility between a melting unit and steel casting
units. Since this is an alloy steel unit, the secondary additions are carried out
in this LRF unit to have the required chemical composition. Thus refined steel
from LRF is subjected to Vacuum degassing in the common VD unit for 2
LRF. It provides high degree of degassing, de-oxidation, desulphuration,
decarburization and nonmetallic inclusions removal. LRF + VD units are
equipped with argon lancing or if necessary, with oxygen blowing.
Required vacuum is created with the aid of VD boilers.
The liquid steel after secondary metallurgy operation shall be sent to
continuous casting machine. A brief description of CCM is as given below:
(v) Continuous Casting Machine (CCM)
During continuous casting, the liquid steel passes from the pouring ladle,
with the exclusion of air, via a tundish with an adjustable discharge device

Pottaneri, Salem, Tamilnadu Pre-feasibility Report
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 2015 MECON Limited. All rights reserved

into the short, water-cooled copper mould. The shape of the mould defines
the shape of the steel. Before casting, the bottom of the mould is sealed with
a so-called dummy bar. As soon as the bath reaches its intended steel level,
the mould starts to oscillate vertically in order to prevent the strand adhering
to its walls. The red hot strand, solidified at the surface zones, is drawn
from the mould, first with the aid of a dummy bar, and later by driving rolls.
Because of its liquid core, the strand must be carefully sprayed and cooled
down with water. Rolls on all sides must also support it until it has
completely solidified. This prevents the still thin rim zone from disintegrating.
Once it has completely solidified, the strand can be divided by mobile cutting
torches or shears. Intensive cooling leads to a homogeneous solidification
microstructure with favorable technological properties. High casting speeds
are achievable nowadays; depending on dimensions and the number of
strands that cast simultaneously, speeds of about 0.6 to 3.5 m/min are
possible for slabs.
The exist ing CCM shop consists of a billet caster & Bloom caster which
produces billets & blooms. In expansion, it is planned to install bloom caster
3 to reach the capacity of 1.3 MTPA.
(vi) Bar mill
Bar and Rod mill is a semi automated rolling mill having a capacity of 0.48
MTPA. The mill is designed to roll wide range of mild steel and alloy steel
products. Steel billets of size 160 mm x 160 mm x 7m & variety of grades are
charged on to the charging grid and fed into the re-heating furnace to heat it
to a maximum of 1250 deg C. After attaining the required temperature these
hot billets are discharged from the furnace and fed into a three high mill
(TRIO) for further reduction to 104 mm x 112 mm. Billet reduced at TRIO will
JSW STEEL LIMITED1.3 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at
Pottaneri, Salem, Tamilnadu Pre-feasibility Report
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 2015 MECON Limited. All rights reserved
Page 24 of 51
be sent to continuous mill (Train 1, 2 & 3) for further reduction to get the
required finishing size at the Kocks Block. Bars/flats, leaving the Kocks
Block/Continuous mill are divided by a dividing shear located after the
continuous mill, fed into the cooling bed and further cut into 500 T cold shear.
Finished product are bundled in the bundling station and stacked in the yard
in respective location. In case of coil production for sizes less than 16 mm,
bars leaving the Kocks Block are finished at NTM and they are wound in coil
shape by the Laying Head which is guided by a pinch roll. The bottom end of
the pipe revolves rapidly and forms the rod into rings that overlap in
spenserian form on to the stelmor conveyor where it can control the cooling
rate of the coil with the help of blowers. The coils are carried through the
conveyor and the coils are loaded to the ‘C’ hook conveyor by means of Coil
Transfer car and they are cooled to ambient temperature after passing
through a conveyor consisting of 100 no’s of ‘C’ hooks. These coils are
Inspected, end trimmed, compacted, bound/strapped and unloaded from the
conveyor. Coils are then stacked at the stacking yard at the designated
places. In case of coil production for sizes more than 16 mm, the finished bar
from Kocks travel through water boxes 1 & 2, then it is fed through pinch roll
to the Garret Coiler. These hot coils are handled with the help of a plate
conveyor.
(vii) Blooming mill
Blooming mill is designed to produce heavy rounds, Round Cornered Square
(RCS) in the range of 55 to 240 mm as finished product having a capacity of
0.36 MTPA. The raw material input to the mill is from Bloom caster of sizes i)
250 x 250 mm ii) 340 x 400 mm. It consists of reheating furnace of 100 T
capacity of BF gas fired with roller table to feed into two high reversible mill.
The Intermediate size from two high reversible mill is fed into 8 stands

Page 25 of 51
horizontal and vertical mill for further reduction to required sizes. The
products are transferred to hot saw roller table where it is cut into sizes and
fed into cooling bed. The end product after cooled is inspected in automatic
inspection line, Bundled and stored in stacking area for dispatch. In addition
to above another two strands shall be installed and capacity shall be
increased from 0.36 to 0.48 MTPA.
(viii) Oxygen plant
Oxygen (99.6% purity) will be consumed in blast furnace for oxygen
enrichment of blast and oxygen (99.6% purity) will also be consumed in the
steelmaking shop for blowing in the EOF, LD Converter and LRF for steel
making, in the continuous casting plant to meet the cutting needs and also
to meet the general purpose requirement of various shops of the steel
plant. Argon will be required for rinsing in ladles and also to maintain inert
atmosphere in the mould/tundish. Nitrogen will be required for purging of
gas pipelines, blast furnace top charging equipment, etc.
Oxygen, nitrogen and argon will be produced by air separation process
based on low pressure cryogenic cycle and double column rectification
system. Oxygen shall be supplied with internal compression with process
liquid pumps and nitrogen either internal or external compression.
In expansion existing capacity of Air Separation Plant (ASP) is augmented
with 250 TPD Pressure Swing Absorber/cryogenic plant.

03.09 QUANTITY OF WASTE GENERATED (LIQUID AND
SOLID) AND SCHEME OF MANAGEMENT
(i) Wastewater generation
Wastewater generated in individual steel production facilities. It is
recommended that each of the production units will be designed to utilize
less amount of water and recycle the water to the maximum by cascading
use of water. There will be blow downs from each of the systems. It is
suggested that the blow down water be collected centrally and treated to
make the water usable in less critical applications like slag quenching,
green belt development etc.
All efforts will be made to re-use and re-circulate the water and to maintain
zero effluent discharge. The following schemes are proposed for
wastewater management comprising, treatment, recycling a n d disposal
systems.
(ii) Gas cleaning plant wastewater
The blast furnace gas cleaning scheme will be of the conventional
venturi type which have become the bench mark for similar application.
The effluent coming out of the wet scrubber will be contaminated with
high concentration of suspended solids. The slurry will b e clarified in the
clarifier, to recover clarified water for recycling into the wet gas scrubber
after cooling in the cooling tower. The sludge settled in the clarifier will be
pumped to the existing sinter plant as a feed material for making sinter. It
is suggested that the blow down water from the cooling water circuits will
be used as make-up water in the gas cleaning re-circulation systems.

Pottaneri, Salem, Tamilnadu Pre-feasibility Report
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT 2015 MECON Limited. All rights reserved
Page 29 of 51
(iii) Treatment of billet caster effluent and mill effluents
This effluent will be contaminated mainly with suspended solids and traces of
oil. The effluent from the mill will be collected first in scale pit which is a large
settling basin to separate out the floating oil and settable iron scales. The
cleaned water is passed through sand filters to remove finer particles, and
then the water is recycled in the process. The backwash from the filters is sent
to the settling tank for removal of particulates. The settled sludge is sent to
sinter plant for agglomeration. It is planned that the blow down water from the
cooling water circuits will be used as make-up in direct contact re- circulation
systems.
(iv) Treatment of power plant effluent
The power plant effluent will be the backwash of DM water plant. This
effluent will be relatively free from solids and oil and thus the effluent will
be treated in a neutralizing pit for pH correction only. The neutralized
effluent will be stored in the treated effluent lagoon for reuse along with
cooling tower blow down in the direct cooling system.
(v) Use of cooling tower blow downs
It is noted, that the re circulating water in cooling towers gets contaminated
with the dust in the atmosphere, necessitating blow down. It is
recommended that all cooling towers to be provided with side stream
pressure filters to reduce the volume of blow down. The cooling
towers are designed to operate at high cycles of concentrations (>8) to
conserve water. Further, cooling tower blow downs of indirect cooling
JSW STEEL LIMITED1.3 MTPA Integrated Steel Plant at

Page 30 of 51
water system shall be used for slag quenching, as make up to direct
contaminated cooling water circuits and surplus if any, will be stored in
the treated wastewater lagoon for in- plant use.

6.2 Residential area- township site
Township is not being planned for the proposed project.
6.3 Green belt
Under plantation programme, green belt will be developed around the plant
boundary. About 33% of the total land (193.4 acres) is proposed for green
belt plantation during the initial five years. The species to be grown in the
areas should be dust tolerant and fast growing species so that a permanent
green belt is created.
The plants having following characteristics are chosen for plantation.
Ability to tolerate and remove air pollutants.
Ability to grow in the area.
Rapid rate of growth.
Evergreen habit
Large crown volume
Small leaves with smooth surface
Should not have adverse effects on soil chemistry and ground water.
Have aesthetic value.
All these traits are difficult to get in a single species. Therefore a combination
of several species with all these traits is sought while planning a plantation.
The plantation should be planted close to the source or close to the area to
be protected to optimize attenuation within physical limits.
The areas that need special attention under plantation development are:
Along plant boundary
Along the side of roads

Around offices and other buildings
Stretches of open land at project site complex
The following species are having a better chance of survival in this region.
Plantations are done at a spacing of 2 x 2 m. The expected rate of survival
will be around 75%. The efforts to improve the survival of the saplings and
their healthy growth will be taken up like watering, fencing, keeping watch and
ward and seeking guidance from the local Forest Dept.
6.4 Drinking water management (source and supply of water)
Total fresh water requirement is 5 MGD. The source of the raw water is down
stream of river Cauvery. Water supply will be from the main supply line of
about 16 km.
6.5 Sewerage system
All effluent will be treated to meet the statutory norms and reused in the plant
to ensure zero discharge.
About 3.3 m3/hr of treated sewage will be generated from STP, and the same
will be used for green belt development.
6.6 Solid waste management
SMS slag will be initially dumped suitably and then will be used for road/paver
block, making/ballast for railway track after granulation. BF slag will be utilized
in cement plant.

REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT
(R & R PLAN)
7.1 Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R & R) Plan
The project site of about 586.09 acres, which is located at Village M.Kallipatti
P.O, Pottaneri, Mecheri, Mettur-Taluk, Salem District, Tamilnadu state. The
plant site is already under the possession of JSW and no habitation exist in
the proposed plant site hence no R & R issues. The land area required for the
plant with associated common facilities with adequate screening distance
between the plant and the site boundary is available and hence land
acquisition or displacement of public is not envisaged. As a social
commitment from the company the R & R policy as mentioned in the earlier
EIA/EMP report is being followed.

CHAPTER- 8
PROJECT SCHEDULE AND COST ESTIMATE
8.1 Project schedule
The construction work is expected to commence in year 2015 on obtaining
statutory clearance and commissioning of the plant to reach the ultimate
capacity is expected in 2016.
8.2 Cost Estimate
The cost envisaged for pollution control and monitoring measures like
ventilation, air conditioning, are included in the capital cost. Cost towards
environmental monitoring facilities is additionally included. In the analysis of
capital cost, recurring cost is also included to know the yearly expenditure.
Other features which forms an integral part of the plant design like stacks, ash
handling equipment are not included in the analysis. Hence, constructions of
STP and other environmental measures like collection pits are included in the
analysis.
The estimated capital cost of the project is about Rs. 800 crores. A good
fraction of this expenditure goes towards pollution control measures. Table 8.1
gives the breakup of the cost for various control measures.
In addition to those indicated in the table, there are a number of other
features, which forms an integral part of the plant design and
contribute to either save energy or to decrease the energy
consumption.

Likewise, the costs of fire protection and physical protection measures
are not considered, although there may be secondary environmental
consequences due to fires or security lapses.
The estimates of recurring costs include only the revenue expenses for
operating the respective facilities. The salary of staff and capital
depreciation are not included.

CHAPTER - 9
ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
9.1 GENERAL
Development of industrial projects does not necessarily have adverse impact
on the environment. There is always an associated beneficial impact. The
proposed project will fulfill the demand of nation’s special steel. The major
benefits that can be anticipated are in terms of (i) employment for the locals,
both in the skilled and the semi skilled category, (ii) increased opportunities for
education, (iii) development of infrastructure such as schools, hospitals and
roads and (iv) growth of small scale industries. Impacts from these are
generally difficult to quantify in a precise manner. Since the proposed project is
an expansion project there will not be any negative impact instead there will be
an infrastructural development of the area which will benefit the people
livelihood.
9.2 EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC BENEFITS
The plant will provide substantial job opportunities for the locals and persons
from Mecheri and Salem. People belonging to nearby villages are likely to be
engaged everyday for outsourced works as contract labour in the project
activities.
In total, it is expected that indirectely around 2000 people will get benefited due
to this project. However, this numbers will be reached over a period of time as
per the progress of project. Needless to mention that, during the construction
phase of about 1 year, more number of people will get employment.

One can expect growth in the commercial activities commensurate with the
anticipated increase in population. Migration and urbanization of adjoining
areas also adds to the opportunities.
Transport and communication facilities will vastly improve. Besides the mass
transport by state run buses, availability of taxis and autos will grow
appreciably.
9.3 BENEFITS FROM WELFARE ACTIVITIES
As and when the proposed project is approved and the construction begins,
M/s. JSW would commit itself to spend Rs. 2.0 crores per annum for social
welfare projects. The amount would be spent for essential purposes like
Schools, medical aid, parks, shopping complex, training facility, supporting
water supply scheme to the nearby villages, roads and other amenities
.
9.4 RECOMMENDATION
The proposed project is likely to bring in additional benefits to the areas
surrounding the plant in terms of increase in the educational, health,
infrastructure and employment potential.
Like in any other project increase in the employment potential both direct as
well as through contractual labour would bring in additional income for the
people living around the project area.
Proposed project of JSW would also join and strengthen the ongoing social
welfare activities, contributing in terms of resource and manpower.
