Chapter - 2 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT
Mahendra Sponge & Power Ltd. [here in after referred as MSPL] company is engaged in
steel business and having good reputation in the market, which was gained with good
business experience. Looking forward in prospects of Steel sector, MSPL propose to go for
expansion of steel plant in Raipur District of Chhattisgarh State.
2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF PRODUCT
The company after assessing the market potential of the steel industry thoroughly decided
to go in for iron-ore pellets. The highly encouraging response received on market survey
also ruled favorably for the said project. Promoters are well experienced entrepreneurs
and are well supported by technical personnel experience to run such unit.
Presently, most of the coal based sponge iron plants in India uses iron ore lumps. The
requirement is generally 1.8 t/ t of sponge iron. This high requirement is mainly due to the
fines generated in handling the purchased ore from the source to the plant. This reduces
the kiln campaign length and increases ore fines lost.
Use of pellets with better physical and metallurgical properties for sponge iron production
reduces the accretion formation in the kiln and the pellets consumption is about1.6 t/t.
Further, the production from the kiln is expected to increase by 25% to 30%.
In view of the above, Mahendra Sponge & Power Ltd. proposed to go for expansion of
pellet plant in the existing steel plant at Plot No. 76 & 77, Phase # 2, Siltara Industrial
Growth Centre, Raipur District, Chhattisgarh.
2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND IMPORTANCE TO THE REGION
Utilization of low grade ore and fines has to play an important role. In India partly due to
the sponge iron sector; the overall percentage of lumps usage in steel making (47%) is
higher than most other countries. As hard ore reserves is depleting day by day, lump
generation suitable for blast furnace operation is coming down resulting in production of
large amount of surplus fines. Alternative iron making processes for production of steel
may lead to changing pattern of use material inputs and feed stock causing significant shift

in respective share of lumps and agglomerated iron ore (pellets) and will also enable the
use of ores which could not be utilized earlier. As fines forms considerable part of iron ore
resources, value addition to the iron ore fines through various activities such as
beneficiation, Pelletization is the need of the hour.
2.4 DEMAND – SUPPLY GAP
With the rapid development of Infrastructure and manufacturing sector, the Iron and steel
industry is poised for an accelerated growth. Steel demand in the country is increasing at
an average rate of 10% and is likely to remain in 10-12% range at least for the next
decade. In order to meet the steadily growing steel demand in the country, domestic steel
producing capacity is required to be higher than 110 mtpa within next three years and,
150 mtpa by the year 2016-17. Indian economy is growing at more than 10% rate, steel
demand and supply will grow in the same way. As good quality iron ore deposits are
depleting fast beneficiation technologies will have to be adopted to meet iron ore
demand. Therefore good yield of beneficiation process generally around 70 % will make
this technology economically viable.
Agglomeration technologies such as Pelletization will have to be added to DRI Plant
/ Steel Plant so that concentrates can be used as feed material. Recycling of
cheaper raw material (fines) by beneficiation and pelletization process as feed
material will result in better Return on Investment as compared to using Iron ore
as feed material.
With superior reducibility behavior of pellets compared to lump ore efficiency of
DRI production improves.
It can be concluded from results obtained by conducting various tests on
manufactured pavement blocks that substitution of iron ore tailings for sand or
quarry dust shows better compressive strength without much change in water
absorption.
In the Indian context, by the year 2020, India’s production of steel is expected to touch110
Million Tonnes and it is imperative that the fines generated in the mining of iron ore be
utilized for the production of steel. The Indian steel industry which predominantly uses
expensive lump ore is gradually moving towards usage of iron ore pellets.

The present Indian raw material scenario offers an opportunistic disposition towards
pellet making owing to the availability of large quantities of sub grade fines, slimes and
blue dust etc. at different mine heads. These materials are not suitable for sinter making.
Pelletization is the only possible route for salvaging these, otherwise waste but valuable
materials. Recent techno-economic studies indicated favorable indices for installation of
pellet plants, both small and large scale. The demand supply analysis also underlines the
need for Pelletization.
2.6 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT & INDIRECT)
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Once the proposed activity is commissioned, the socio-economic status of the local people
will improve and there by infrastructure facilities like communication systems will
improve. Most of the villages at present do not have protected water supply. After the
implementation of the project, the affordability of the public to spend on water
treatment, supply & distribution will more along with the aid from the state government.
EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL
The proposed project creates employment to 100 people during construction and 50
people during operation of the proposed expansion.
SKILLED
Total skilled employment in the proposed plant will be around 15.
SEMI-SKILLED
Total Semi-skilled employment in the proposed project will be around 15. Priority will be
given to local people for semi-skilled jobs.
UNSKILLED
Total Unskilled employment in the proposed project will be around 20. Top priority will be
given to local people for unskilled jobs.

a. Drying & Preparation of Iron ore Fines:
Generally Iron Ore Fines, Lime Stone and Dolomite fines available, contain more than 6-
7% moisture and require drying before grinding. The drying is carried out in Rotary
Drum Dryer. The moisture content in the dry material is controlled. The low grade Iron
Ore Fines is feed in a screen for separation. Oversize/ under size moves to the primary
grinding circuit.
b. Grinding
Iron Ore Fines, Dolomite and Lime Stone are mixed in required proportion and fed into
a Ball Mill. The fineness of the product is controlled as may be necessary for particular
ore and Pellet quality.
c. Mixing and Blending
Iron Ore powder blended with Bentonite and other binding materials in desired
proportion. Small quantity of water is added during blending operation. This raw mix is
ready for Pellet making and store in feed hopper.
d. Pelletization
Controlled quantity of raw mix is fed on disc Pelletizer. Some amount of water is
sprinkled for producing Pellets. These Pellets are passed through oversize and undersize
screens. Sized Pellets are then sent to sintering section.
e. Screening
Pellets produce in Pelletization sections are passed through oversize and undersize
screens. Rejects Pellets are sent back to raw mix silos sized Pellets are fed in to
Indurations Furnace.
f. Travel Grate Furnace
A Travel Grate Furnace is used for indurations of Pellets. This is divided into 3 sections
(Drying–Preheating–Heating). Hot Pellets at around 950ºC to 1000ºC from this Travel
Grate are dropped into the Kiln for further strengthening.
Expansion of Steel Plant Pre-feasibility Report
10
g. Rotary Kiln
Rotary Kiln receives Pellets from the Indurations Furnace where Pellets have to
withstand at high temperature approx. 1050ºC – 1200ºC. Here the Pellets gain more
hardness due to high temperature. Furnace Oil / Producer Gas is used as a fuel inside
the Kiln. After the Kiln the Pellets are passed to the Grate Cooler.
h. Cooler
Grate Cooler receives hot Pellet with temperature up to 1200ºC coming from Rotary
Kiln. Cooler has its own blowers to blast the air from bottom. The hot air from the first
zone is used as a combustion air in kiln. The hot blast of the second zone is used in the
pre-heating zone-1 of travel grate and the air from the 3rd zone is discharged to the
atmosphere through chimney as its dust concentration is well within the permissible
limits of pollution norms. Volume of cooling air in all the three zones is regulated
automatically through the temperature control loops as per the requirement. Cold
Pellets at about 100ºC are discharged on conveyors and they are quenched by the cold
water for further cooling and then conveyed to the stock pile/ loading hoppers.
i. Stacking
The screened Pellets of required size duly cooled at air cooler and subsequently natural
cooling are transported to Bunkers
j. Recovery of Dust and Spillage
Spillage from drying zone and preheating zone of traveling grate, dust from the wind
box of traveling grate and dust collected through de-duster of technological process
shall meet and will be sent to dust bin via belt conveyor, after they are ground together
with iron ore concentrate at grinding mill. Spillage (dry Pellets) produced at the
discharge end of traveling grate will be fed into the kiln from the feed chute of the kiln
feed end by bucket elevation. Almost all the dust and spillage are re-circulated and
recovered.

3.5.2 INDUCTION FURNACE
Semi-finished steel in the form of Steel Ingots & Billets is manufactures through Induction
Furnace with Concast that works on the principle of induction melting of scrap/ Pig Iron
with the help of electric power. An alternating electromagnetic field induces eddy current
in the metal so that the electrical energy converts into heat whose quantity depends on
the resistively of the charge. If the charge consists of the metal scrap, chips other metal
rejections then the eddy currents arise between separate pieces of charge because high
contact resistance. So small charge pieces required increase frequency of current that
feeds the induction heater in order to speed up melting of the charge. Induction furnaces
operate on current of commercial frequencies (50 HZ) or on current of higher frequencies
from 500 to 2000 Hz. Induction furnaces are beneficial in steel making for low melting loss.
Expansion of Steel Plant Pre-feasibility Report

An Induction furnace constitutes a single larger primary coil made of water- cooled copper
tube. The working voltage impressed across the terminals of the coil. These furnaces have
a great much application for melting of iron, Steel and Nonferrous. This type of furnace
has a rammed lining. The ramming matenal silica mass contains should more then 96%
silica and minimum of Al2O3 & Fe2O3. Before ramming the material a steel template kept
inside the furnace and rammed the material between the template and the insulated coil
of the induction heater. To minimize the consumption of electric power and cut down the
melting period the crucible wall must be as thin as possible. During running the furnace
one must keep watch on the state of lining because it operates under most unfavorable
condition. The inside of crucible lining is in contact with liquid metal while its outside
surface contacts the water-cooled induction.
Charging: -
The pieces of scrap should be kept on the bottom gently to avoiding impacts into a
compact heap. The scrap pieces / Pig Iron should be in small size that provide good
compacting of the batch without leaving spacing between the charge and crucible wall.
This offer an advantage of quick melting of the charge with a minimum power spent in the
stage for the heat.
The zone of a highest temperature during the meet lies in the power part of the crucible
therefore it is practical to place first high melting scrap on the crucible bottom. Large and
high melting pieces should stand parallel and close to the crucible was while low melting
components should be in the middle of the large crucible. Small capacity furnaces are
loaded manually and the large capacity furnaces with the aid of buckets.
Melting: -
At the beginning of the melting the furnace works for 5 to 10 minutes on low power until
the surge of current fed from the generator disappear. The furnace power is then brought
up to a maximum. The charge melts with the crucible held closed. When the charge
approaches the fluid stages then the solid pieces are pressed backed with a crow bar. The
furnaces is then loaded to its capacity by adding small size of scrap as soon as the charge
melted, the stag is formed to protect the metal from oxidation and to avoid reduce the
melting loss. If the slag generate in excess it should be skimmed off periodically, at the last
to deoxidized the metal with Ferromanganese, Silico-manganese and Ferro-silicon. Now
the metal is ready tap for either in ingot or billet casting.
Expansion of Steel Plant Pre-feasibility Report

Casting in Ingot mould: -
For casting ingot the metal temperature should be around 1560ºC/ 1570 ºC in ladle. Liquid
metal tap from furnace to ladle by the help of crane then the ladle in the centered on the
trumpet metal flows from the ladle bottom and filled the ingot mould. Thus the ingot is
ready.
Casting in B.C.M: -
Steel for making billet, the temperature of liquid metal from furnace to ladle, the final
metal temperature in ladle should be 80ºC. superheat from liquidious. Liquid metal is
storage in tundish through ladle then the tundish metal passes from the various section of
mould jacket that is as per requirement (100 X 100 mm, 125 X 125 mm, 160 X 160 mm,
200 X 200 mm) this is a continuous process, length of billet of is cut as par requirement.

Reheating furnace
A pusher type furnace has been envisaged for the heating of billets. The furnace will be
end charging and side discharging. It will have single row as well as double row charging
facility. The furnace will be heated with FO. The furnace combustion system will comprise
of air blowers, FO storage, supply and preheating system and other associated facilities.
The product of combustion will leave the furnace at charging end and exhausted through
underground flue tunnel and passed through a metallic tubular recuperator before finally
let off to a self-supporting steel chimney of sufficient height. A set of instrument will be
used for smooth operation of the furnace.
Bar and round mill
A cross country type mill has been envisaged for the plant. The stands have been grouped
into roughing, intermediate and finishing groups. Roughing group will have 4 (four)
stands, intermediate group will have 8 (eight) stands and finishing mill will have 8 (eight)
stands. Roughing group of stands will be driven by one motor. 4 nos. of intermediate
stands will be driven by two motors and balance 4 nos. will be driven by a separate motor.
Each stand of finishing group will be driven by single motor. Necessary guides and troughs
will be provided at entry and exit of mill stands.
One wire rod out let has been provided in the mill. The wire rod line will have 4 stand
block driven by a single motor through gear box. Coil forming and handling of coil is
provided.
Automated tilting, drop type tilter and feeding arrangement will be provided in roughing

Design provision has been made for introduction of slit rolling facility in future to roll 8
mm, 10 mm & 12 mm rebars in two strands. The rebars discharged from the mill will pass
through a water cooling system comprising cooling pipes with high pressure water nozzles
for rapid water quenching. At the cooling pipes the bar skin temperature will be reduced
to about 600ºC. The core of the bar still remains hot. This entrapped heat tempers the
bar. This thermo-mechanical treatment of the bars increases tensile strength without
Expansion of Steel Plant Pre-feasibility Report

adversely effecting weldability and elongation properties. This process eliminates
requirement of cold twisting of bars for production of rebars.
A dividing shear, to cut the products to cooling bed length, will be located immediately
after the water cooling system. This shear will divide all products to cooling bed lengths.
Rake type cooling beds have been envisaged to receive the rolled product. Cooling bed
will be provided with incoming and outgoing roller tables. One cold shear has been
provided to cut the bars coming out of cooling bed into commercial length of 6 to 12 m.
The bar products will be formed into bundles and will be strapped by strapping machine
manually.
The finished products will be removed by overhead EOT crane and stored in the storage
area or dispatched through road vehicles.
3.5.4 FERRO ALLOYS UNIT
In Ferro alloy plant, Silico Manganese, Ferro Manganese and Ferro Silicon is produced by
smelting of Manganese ore with coke, coal, quartz and dolomite. The smelting is a
continuous process which will be done in submerged arc furnace with a line voltage of 70-
170V. The raw material premix will be charged into the furnace near the electrodes
through chutes. The electrodes used are of self-baking type in which a series of cylindrical
steel casings welded on the top of each other forms the electrode column in which solid
green carbon ‘paste’ blocks are added periodically from the top of the column. This system
takes advantage of the electric power used for the process to bake the electrodes in place.
The smelting process thus in submerged arc furnace produces the ferro alloys.

Chapter - 6 PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
6.1 INDUSTRIAL AREA (PROCESSING AREA)
The main plant area comprises of iron ore handling area, storage area, crushing sizing
area, iron ore beneficiation unit etc.
The major equipment and facilities envisaged for the pelletizing plant are described below
The pelletizing plant will mainly consist of the following sections:
Storage and handling of iron ore fines
Storage, handling and preparation of binder and additive
Iron ore improvement
Proportioning and mixing
Balling, in duration and cooling
Finished product storage
6.2 RESIDENTIAL AREA (NON PROCESSING AREA)
No colonization is proposed; however facilities like canteen, rest room and indoor games
facilities will be provided in the proposed plant and one Admin building is also proposed.
6.3 GREEN BELT
More than 1/3rd of total land availability is reserved for plantation i.e. greenery.
Greenbelt development plan
Local DFO will be consulted in developing the green belt.
Greenbelt of 33% of the area will be developed in the plant premises as per CPCB
guidelines.
15 m wide greenbelt is being maintained all around the plant.
The tree species to be selected for the plantation are pollutant tolerant, fast
growing, wind firm, deep rooted. A three tier plantation is proposed comprising of
an outer most belt of taller trees which will act as barrier, middle core acting as air
cleaner and the innermost core which may be termed as absorptive layer
consisting of trees which are known to be particularly tolerant to pollutants.

6.4 SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Social infrastructure will be developed as per need based in the Villages of the close
vicinity of the project.
6.5 Connectivity:
The proposed site is well connected with Road – Rail network. The following table gives
brief regarding connectivity of the proposed site:
Component Description
Road : NH – 200 = 1.3 km
Rail : Nearest station – 6.3 km (Mudhera RS) Mumbai-Howrah mail line
Air : Raipur Air Port – 21 Kms.
Sea Port : Vishakapatanam – 500 Kms.
The location has a big advantage in its closed proximate to its market. Traditionally, iron
manufacturing units have tendered to cluster in the eastern zone of India namely in the
state of Jharkhand, Orissa and Chhattisgarh because of easy availability of major raw
input iron-ore and coal. Infrastructural and other utility services are easily available.
Skilled and un-skilled laborers are also available easily.
6.6 DRINKING WATER MANAGEMENT
It is estimated that 8 KL/ Day of water will be required for domestic purpose during
operation of expansion project. The desired amount of water will be drawn from Kharun
river.
6.7 SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Domestic effluent collected through toilet blocks and other areas will be collected through
well designed sewer network and send to Septic tanks followed by soak pits. No effluent
will be left-out after Soak pits.
6.8 INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
Closed circuit system will be adopted in the proposed expansion project. Hence zero
effluent discharge will be maintained. Only waste water generated will be sanitary waste
water, which will be treated in septic tank followed by soak pit.
