 Executive Summary

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION ABOUT PROCESS/SUB-PROCESS

The process flow diagram is enclosed for reference.
A. CAPTIVE POWER PLANT (Existing and no change in proposed expansion)
Coal Based Captive Power Plant
The Power Plant consists of 16 MW single cylinder, single stage fully condensing type of
steam turbine. The Turbine inlet steams Pressure & Temperature are 64.0 Ata & 485°C
respectively.
There is a Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) type of 70 TPH, at 66.00 k.sq(g) Pressure
and 490°C temperature, steam capacity and are designed.
We will use Coal Fines/ Dolochar/ Char coal having GCV 3370 Kcal/Kg as a fuel from
stock yard feeded to the raw feed hopper by means of conveyors, and then for Fluidized
Bed Combustion (FBC) of Boiler to generate super-heated steam 70 TPH at 66 Kg/cm.sq.
485°C.
During the process of combustion of Coal/Char coal in AFBC, Ash will be produced;
most of the ash will be carried along with the flue gas as fly ash. A very small percentage
of ash will be drained from bottom of FBC furnace. As we provide ESP unit in path of
flue gases, most of the fly ash will get collected and the clean flue gas will be diffused to
the atmosphere through chimney.

B. STEEL MELTING SHOP

Manufacturing Process

The induction furnace continuous casting route is adopted for steel melting.

Raw material such as DRI (Sponge Iron), Pig Iron Scrap & Ferro Alloys is fed to Steel
Melting Shop induction furnace through respective raw material dumpers and is unloaded
in the charging bay of the steel melting shop. With the help of magnet crane the DRI is
fed into the Sponge Iron Bins on over the furnace platform. Below these bins there are
Weigh Feeders which is used to fed the DRI in controlled manner into the furnaces.

Shri Bajrang Power & Ispat Limited 3 PECS, Nagpur

 Executive Summary

Plant return scraps from various generating points and purchased scrap is transported to
the scrap bay of steel melting shop. One crane is provided in the scrap bay for unloading
and loading of scrap and pig iron in scrap buckets. These are transported to the furnace
bay by electrically driven scrap bucket transfer car. The scrap buckets are weighed in the
scrap bay. Scrap is stored on furnace working platform near the furnace for charging.

The scrap is charged into the crucibles for generating the hot heel for DRI charging.
Necessary carbon in the form of pig iron/petroleum coke is added into the crucibles to
ensure the availability of necessary carbon in the bath. Once the molten bath has been
formed and minimum temperature of the bath has been achieved, sponge iron is charged
in small batches and the slag formed is removed periodically. After the completion of
charging sponge iron a sample is drawn to determine the composition of the bath. After
achieving the desire malt analysis, temperature is raised to the tapping temperature and
taking into account additions of predetermined amount of ferroalloys; to achieve the
required tapping composition of the melt.

Continuous Casting

The continuous casting technology has gained worldwide acceptance because of high
yield, economics of operation and better product quality. Hence, this technology is
adopted for our steel plant casting the liquid steel into billets. The continuous casting
machine is equipped with moulds, mould oscillating mechanism, secondary cooling
segments, straightening unit and withdrawals, gas cutting unit, rigid dummy bar insertion
system, run out roller tables, cross transfer mechanism and cooling bed. The caster is
controlled from the pendant control panels and also from main control room, located on
the casting platform and the auxiliary control room near the gas cutting unit.

The tap to tap time of the induction furnaces is matched with the casting cycle time so as
to have maximum number of sequential cast.

The ladle is picked up by ladle handling crane and placed on the ladle stand. A refractory
lined tundish, fully dried and fitted with preheated nozzles mounted on tundish, car is
moved from the reserve position to the casting position.

Shri Bajrang Power & Ispat Limited 4 PECS, Nagpur

 Executive Summary

Prior to the start of the casting operation, the dummy bar will be introduced into the
mould. The gap between the dummy bar and mould walls is sealed with asbestos cords
and small pieces of steel scraps are placed over the dummy bar head for chilling of initial
metal. Water supply to mould, secondary cooling zone and machine cooling is switched
on at this stage. When the liquid steel level in the tundish reaches a predetermined level,
the tundish nozzles are opened. When the metal level in the mould reaches about 100-150
mm from its top, the drive of the mould oscillating mechanism as well as withdrawal and
straightening unit is switched on. The withdrawal of dummy bar begins at the minimum
speed and gradually increased to normal speed within few minutes. The mould is
lubricated with liquid lubricant. During casting operation the metal level in the mould is
maintained within predetermined limits by adjusting flow of metal into the mould or by
adjusting the withdrawal speed.
The partially solidified billets after leaving the mould pass through strand guide roller
segment where intensive but controlled cooling of billets is affected by water spray
nozzles. The solidified billets are guided through withdrawal and straightening units
before entering the gas cutting zone. The dummy bar is separated from the billet for the
gas cutting unit and is stored till its introduction is required for the next hit. The cast billet
is cut to predetermined length by gas cutting torches/ Hydraulic Shear. The sized billets
are sent to Rolling Mill for hot charging through hot billet conveyor and/or delivered to
the cooling bed through run out roller table and cross transfer mechanism. The billets are
marked on cooling bed by the marking unit for identification/tracking.

ROLLING MILL

Raw Material required for the Rolling Mill is generally Ingot and Billets, produced in
Steel Melting Shop.

Roughing Mill

The Red Hot Raw material namely Ingot/Billet from CCM is fed directly to the first stand
of the Roughing Mill. The Roughing Mill comprises of roughing stand having roll size.
The roughing mill is used for primary reduction of the raw material. This is being done
by rolling the material through various passes of the roughing mill. The roughing mill

Shri Bajrang Power & Ispat Limited 5 PECS, Nagpur

 Executive Summary

runs by drive system comprising of 1500 HP AC motor, high speed fly wheel, reduction
Gear Box, pinion Gear Box etc.. After the primary reduction the material goes to
intermediate mill for further reduction.

After the raw material comes out from roughing mill both the ends of the material will be
sheared by Rotary Shearing for free entry into further passes. The material passes through
Intermediate Mill comprising of six stands having individual DC drive.

The stands are arranged in continuous line with DC motors & Drives enabling to roll at
high speed. DC motors and Thyristor Drive will drive these stands. The Flying Shear is
installed in between the stand for cutting the cobbles (misroll) efficiently. Each stand has
different passes wherein the hot material is further reduced.

Finally the product goes to the Finishing Mill for attaining the final shape and size.

Finishing Mill

The Finishing Mill consists of stands in continuous configuration. All these stands are
equipped with DC motor and Thyristor drive. The material passes through these entire
stands and finally comes out in the desired size and section.

After leaving the last roll stand of the finishing mill, the material passes through special
water-cooling system for quenching with the well-defined penetration depth. Quenching
results into a hardened surface structure of the material. After leaving cooling line, the
remaining heat of the core of the Bar reheats the surface up to the equalizing temperature,
thus tempering the hardened surface. The resulting heat-treated structure has high
strength and good toughness properties. This entire process is the manufacturing process
for TMT Bar.

Quenching system

The Quenching system consists of cooling pipes of different length having motorized
valves for controlling the flow of water. The system is also equipped with pressure and
temperature gauges. High pressure water pumps are provided with butterfly valves so that

Shri Bajrang Power & Ispat Limited 6 PECS, Nagpur

 Executive Summary

water at desired pressure is available for rapid water quenching of bar to obtain the
desired properties.

The cooling pipes also have air and water inlet system for better cooling. Installing a
suitable compressor will generate compressed air of about 300 Cu NM/hr. at 0.5 Mpa.

The water used for water Quenching is collected in a scale pit. It is then cooled at cooling
tower for re-use in the Quenching system. The entire system is equipped with various
temperature gauges for measurement of the rolling temperature and equalizing the
temperature for better quality control. The entire system being controlled by PLC system,
which helps in maintaining accuracy of various process parameters such as Flow of
water, pressure, temperature. Once the material leaves the Quenching system, it passes
through a pinch-roll unit, i.e., a machine having 2 nos. cantilevered pinch roll. This
machine is used for driving the Bar through the dividing shear after the Bar leaves the last
stand. This is done with the help of a photo cell located just before the pinch roll unit
which detects the Bar nose. A solenoid valve actuates the air cylinder of the pinch roll
unit and the top pinch roll comes down to the Bar and keeps the Bar at mill speed after it
leaves the last stand.

A Cooling tower with matching capacity shall be installed to ensure availability of cold
water. Thereafter, the flying shear will be installed for cutting the material into desired
length. Flying shear shall be operated with DC motor and is capable of cutting various
sizes with best accuracy. The shear will have a digital drive, which will control the
machine to follow the rolling speed so as to divide the bar suitable to cooling bed length.

After cutting, the finished material moves inside the Twin Channel installed on the
cooling bed. The twin channel is installed all along the length at the side of the cooling
bed. It consists of alternately opening flaps through a hydraulic cylinder. The Bar enters
the closed flaps, which opens when the full bar has been received.

The cooling bed is an Automatic Rake type Moving Cooling Bed. The Automatic cooling
bed moves the finished bar to the discharge end with the help of walking beam. This
system has advantage of getting a straight length material, thereby giving better finish to

Shri Bajrang Power & Ispat Limited 7 PECS, Nagpur

 Executive Summary

the material. This system has less involvement of labour. The cooling bed shall be
provided with one Aligning device, which consists of 30 nos. individual driven Rollers,
which shall be arranged in the stationary rake system of the cooling bed in front of
discharge device. The main function of the aligning device shall be to align the nose of
the rolled bar in direction of forward transportation, ensuring 100% fix length material.
The material is then finally sheared by Shearing machine in the length of 11-12 meters
and shifted to the loading area. It is then bundled and packed. After proper internal
inspection, the material is released for dispatches.

Brick Manufacturing: The wastes (residues) in the form of Ash, Lime Powder, Gypsum
are mixed together in a raw material mixing machine, transferred to Brick moulding
machine and dried in open atmosphere.

C. MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF HB WIRE

The Wire Bed is placed on the Drawing Drum Block behind the Descaler Machine. The
power is given to drive the wire rod through descaler assembly machine, so that the
scaling on the wire rod can be removed.

Subsequently, the descaled wires are passed through the first die box of drawing machine
for reduction in size.

The wires are wounded in a drum for further processing. Through overhead rollers the
wire are again passed to second set.

Drawing Die Machine and then to third set Drawing Die Machine which continues to
fourth set of Drawing Die Machine where the wires comes out of 80% of reduction.

Then finally the wires are passed through fifth set of Drawing Machine and the finished
products are collected in form of HB wires.

The wires are checked for quality parameter and then the wires are bundled and stacked
and moved to finished goods yard for dispatch.

Scrap, Sponge Iron are liquids refined and brought required chemistry. This is a basic
steel making process where Detrimental Elements, impurities like Sulphur, phosphorous,
Chromium, zinc, Tin etc., are eliminated during processing. This ability makes it superior
to induction furnaces where only melting is possible and not the refining.
ELR Furnace Electrical power is supplied through three phase Graphite Electrodes which
strikes on Liquids and Refining takes place. After Refining Liquid metal is treated with
fluxes like lime, Fluorspar, Iron Ore etc. for removal of impurities like Sulphur,

wastewater will be recycled to the plant for various uses after treatment. As no
wastewater will be discharged outside the plant premises, there will be no impact on the
water quality of any surface water bodies of the area.

Management Plan of Solid waste

Major solid wastes generated from the rolling mill are mill scale and clinker ash from
gasification system, which are being utilized as raw material in other manufacturing
units.
The generated solid waste from SMS is not a hazardous waste; hence it can be easily
disposed to ground filling & road leveling after recovery of metal.

• Generated Dolochar from Sponge Iron plant of Borjhara & Tilda units is being
used in 16 MW AFBC power plant at Gondwara plant of M/s. SBPIL unit.
