Financial and Social Benefits
Emboldened by buoyancy of the Indian economy, the Ministry of Steel, Govt. of India,
has revised the goal and projected a capacity of 180 MTPA by 2019-20. This creates
huge opportunity for investment in steel industry with high returns. The iron ore deposit
of the region was explored by GSI in the year 1969-70. It remained unexploited due to
its poor grade. The opening of the mine and beneficiating the ore has provided
employment to some 1000 persons, besides paying royalty to State Govt. to the tune of
Rs. 21.00 crore per year. It will increase to about Rs. 50.00 crore per year as the
production increases. Setting up of steel plant will help local people to get quality steel
Rebar (TMT) locally instead of getting from M.P., Bihar and Orissa etc. Apart from this
the project will employee additional 2000 persons and in-direct employment to 700
persons in transport, upkeep & maintenance, ancillary units. The project will generate
Rs 700 crore per year indirect tax revenue.

Sinter Plant
Main Features of Sinter plant
• Sinter Grate Bar Area - 170 SqM
• Sinter Productivity - >1.3MT of Sinter / SqM / Hour
• Design parameter - 1.5 MT of Sinter/ SqM /Hour with
100 % Iron ore concentrate
• Type of Sinter Machine - Linear Sinter Machine with Annular
Cooling bed, fired by BF Gas / FO
Sinter Plant Process
Physical and metallurgical preparation of the iron ore burden is undertaken to improve
permeability and reducibility. Prior to the sintering operation, raw materials are blended
and some flux materials are added. After blending, the iron blend is transferred from
preparation bunker to storage bunker. Coke breeze (small-grade coke with particle size
of ‹ 5mm) is used as fuel for the sintering process. The ore blend and coke breeze are
mixed and dampened to enhance the formation of micro pellets which improve the
permeability when placed on the sinter bed.
The sinter plant essentially consists of a large grate of heat resistant cast iron. The
material to be sintered is layered to form 700 mm deep bed, although shallower beds
are common in older plants, which is placed on top of a thin layer of recycled sinter.
This bottom layer protects the grate from the direct heat of the burning mixture. The
grate passes through a canopy of gas burners that ignites the coke breeze in the
mixture, starting a down-draft process through the entire length of the sinter bed. As the
sinter mixture proceeds along the grate, the combustion air is drawn downwards
through the mixture. This generate sufficient heat (1300°C-1480°C) to sinter the fine
particles together into a porous clinker referred to as sinter. Exhausted gases are
treated to remove dust before emitted to atmosphere. The produced sinter then

crushed and screened to obtain the proper dimension for the burden of the blast
furnace.

Blast Furnace Process
A blast furnace (BF) is an enclosed system into which the raw materials enter at the
top, while the products (molten iron and slag) are tapped from the bottom (the
hearth).The raw material mixture of iron bearing materials (iron ore pellets and sinters)
and additives (Slag former, such as limestone) is called the “burden”. The burden and
coke are fed into the top of the furnace via a sealed charging system to prevent furnace
gases from escaping. The solid burden moves downwards, counter current of a rising
stream of hot reducing gas. The hot reducing gas is provided by hot stoves and is
needed to transfer heat to the solid burden in order to raise the temperature for
reaction. The BF gas with residual calorific value is collected from the top of the furnace
for treatment and use.
The blast furnace is periodically tapped to remove the hot metal iron and slag from the
earth. For this purpose a tap-hole is opened in the side wall of the hearth. The tapped
metal has a temperature of approximately 1440-1500 °C. The slag and hot metal from
the furnace flows along the refractory or low cement covered runners and they are
subsequently separated at the skimmer in the cast house, after which each continues in
a separate runner. Liquid Hot metal is poured into ladles or torpedo cars. Slag flows in
runners to a granulation plant. At the end of casting cycle, the tap hole is closed by
injecting a heat resistant tap hole clay mixture, using a so-called “mudgun”.

Rotary DRI KILN
Key Parameters:-
Capacity : - 650000 MT per annum
Type : - Coal based Rotary KILN
Length :- Approx 80 Mtr (For 500 TPD KILN)
Inner diameter :- Approx 4.5 Mtr (For 500 TPD KILN)
Waste Heat Recovery boilers : - 12.5 MW for each 500 TPD KILN
Process
Iron Ore and Non Coking Coal along with Dolomite are fed continuously to the charge
end of Rotary Kiln which is inclined at 2.5% of drum length. Coal is also injected
through a Coal Throw Pipe at the discharge end of Kiln. Due to the inclination and
rotation of Kiln the charge material moves along the length of Kiln and it is discharged
continuously after processing. To supply heat for the process air is blown into the Kiln
through central burner and air pipes mounted on the Kiln shell. As the charge moves
along the kiln, it is heated by the gases which flow in opposite direction. The first
section, approximately half of kiln is called preheating zone where iron ore, coal and
dolomite are dried and heated to reaction temperatures using the heat released from
the combustion of volatile matter and carbon in the coal . The second half of kiln is
called reduction zone where major amount of Oxygen contained in the iron ore is
removed leaving metallic iron (Fe). De-sulphurisation in the Rotary Kiln is effected by
calcined limestone/dolomite. The chemical reactions taking place at various zones in
the rotary kiln are as given below.
In the pre-heat zone, the reduction of iron oxide proceeds only to ferrous oxide (FeO)
(Equation 1).
Prefeasibility Report of Integrated Steel Plant at Bhilwara, Rajasthan
Jindal Saw Limited Page 27
Fe3O4 + CO = 3 FeO + CO2 ............................ (I)
Final reduction to metallic iron occurs in the metallization zone by reaction of CO with
FeO to form CO2 and metallic iron (Equation II).
FeO + CO = Fe + CO2 ........................... (II)
Most of the CO2 reacts with the excess solid fuel in the kiln and is converted to CO
(Equation III).
CO2+C = 2CO ............................ (III)
The reduced iron ore -SPONGE IRON with unburnt char from rotary kiln gets
discharged into a Rotary Cooler. The heat will be dissipated indirectly by water spraying
into the outside of Cooler Shell. The material gets cooled to around 120°C.

Process
The oxygen steelmaking process converts the molten iron from the blast furnace - with
up to 20% steel scrap (DRI+Scrap+Pig) - into refined steel. High purity oxygen is blown
through the molten bath to lower carbon, silicon, manganese, and phosphorous content
of the iron, while various fluxes are used to reduce the sulfur and phosphorous levels.
The impurities and a small amount of oxidized iron are carried off in the molten slag
that floats on the surface of the hot metal.
Scrap Charging
The first step for making a heat of steel in a BOF is to tilt the furnace and charge it with
scrap. The furnaces are mounted on trunnions and can be rotated through a full circle.
Molten Iron Charging
Hot metal from the blast furnace accounts for up to 80 – 90 % of the metallic charge
and is poured from a ladle into the top of the tilted furnace.
Furnace Operation
The charged furnace is returned to an upright position and a water cooled oxygen lance
is lowered from the top; oxygen is blown into the bath at supersonic speeds causing
rapid mixing and heat from the oxidation of iron and impurities. Fluxes (burnt lime, burnt
dolomite, and fluorspar) are added to help carry off the impurities in the floating slag
layer. This step requires only about 15 minutes of an overall 45 minute tap to tap cycle
time.
Tapping
After the steel has been refined, the furnace is tilted (opposite to the charging side) and
molten steel is poured out into a preheated ladle. Alloys are added to the ladle during
the pour to give the steel the precise composition desired. In some steelmaking
Prefeasibility Report of Integrated Steel Plant at Bhilwara, Rajasthan
Jindal Saw Limited Page 29
applications, further refining is conducted in the ladle to remove oxygen and sulfur from
the molten steel.
Ladle Refining Furnace (LRF)
Key Features of LRF
• Nominal Heat Size - 100 Ton
• Type - Single station with water cooled roof
• Transformer - 18 MVA
• Maximum heating rate - 4.0 ˚C/Min
• Treatment Time - <30 Min.
• Electrode Arms - Bus-bar type
After tapping the ladle is transferred on the tapping car to a position where the
overhead crane pick it up and transport it to the heating station where the remaining
slag builders are added. Ar/N2 bubbling is performed during all operations in the
secondary treatment station. The first heating period will last until the slag is fused, the
steel analysis is uniform and the steel temperature is high enough to enable good
sampling.
While waiting for the sample analysis, heating is continued and trimming alloying
additions are given as soon as the laboratory analysis is received. The temperature is
increased to the aim temperature for casting.
The main objectives of secondary metallurgy include mixing and homogenizing;
adjustment of chemical compositions; temperature adjustment; de oxidation; removal of
undesirable gases (e.g. hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen); and improvement of the oxide
purity by separating non-metallic-inclusions.
Prefeasibility Report of Integrated Steel Plant at Bhilwara, Rajasthan
Jindal Saw Limited Page 30
The Ladle Furnace will be equipped with a specially designed roof which reduces the
air infiltration into the ladle furnace and thus minimizes the:
• Side oxidation of the electrodes and thus the electrode consumption
• Oxidation of the slag and thus the FeO content and consequently the oxygen
content in steel
• Hydrogen pick-up from the furnace atmosphere
• Nitrogen pick-up from the furnace atmosphere.
Vacuum Degassing (VD)/Vacuum Oxy Decarburization
Key Features
• Nominal Heat Size - 100 Ton
• Type - Vacuum Tank in fixed chamber
• Pumping system - By steam ejector
• Display of slag & stirring process - By Camera
• Treatment Time - Less than 30 Min.
VD is the only method which can reduce the gas (Hydrogen, Nitrogen and Oxygen)
levels in the steel and by VOD process we can reduce the carbon and make the high
chrome steel.
The VD/VOD process is characterized by ladles with entire liquid steel content being
exposed to the vacuum during the treatment. For the VOD process we have to inject
oxygen under vacuum to reduce the carbon.
In this process ladle rests in stationary vacuum tank. The tank will be close vacuum
tight with a tank cover. The required vacuum pressure will be built up by starting of the
Prefeasibility Report of Integrated Steel Plant at Bhilwara, Rajasthan
Jindal Saw Limited Page 31
vacuum pump. The pressure is lowered to the vacuum level needed for the
metallurgical reactions.
Since the vacuum can become metallurgical effective only on bath surface, the bath is
subjected to force circulation through inert gas bubbling.

Process
The liquid steel after secondary metallurgy is transported to the “tundish” of CCM. This
is an intermediate ladle with controllable outlet. The ladles are preheated prior to
accepting a liquid steel charge in order to avoid temperature stratification in the
tundish.When the liquid steel reached the desired temperature; it is poured into the
tundish. From the tundish it passes to a short water-cooled copper mould in which no
air is present and which performs oscillating movements to prevent the steel from
sticking. The mould gives the metal the desired shape. When the metal leaves the
casting mould, a “skin” of solidified steel has formed and a large number of rolls guide
the cast steel with a gentle curve toward a horizontal position. At this point, the endless
casting is cut into pieces with torch cutter. Billets and round are cast in this way.

Hot/cold billets received form CCM is charged in pusher type reheating furnace. After
being heated up to rolling temperature (1150°C) billets are discharged from the furnace
and transferred to mill via a roller table fitted with thermo insulated hoods and billet
reject table.
The rolling mill (Roughing mill and Intermediate mill) is composed of 14 rolling units
consisting of double support housing less “Cartridge type stands followed by 8 stand
block mill.
The products are continuously rolled accordingly to schedule two high stands and in
finishing mill in H-V arrangement with fixed rolling line and without bar torsion.
To give the mill maximum flexibility, each stand is independently driven.
The smallest size of deformed bars is rolled using High speed single strand rolling. An
offline quick roll changing system is provided for finishing stands roll changing so that
very short stoppage of the plant for size changing.
A low tension control system is provided on the roughing/intermediate mill, while looper
are used in the intermediate/finishing mill to assure tension free rolling allowing the self
adjusting of mill drives, to actual rolling condition.
During the rolling process, head and tail cropping are carried out automatically by
start/stop crop shears arranged after rougher and intermediate mill. (In emergency
situation bar can also be chopped automatically by these shears).
After the rolling mill stands there is water quenching line (For TMT process).
TMT is a surface quenching and self-tempering process directly executed from the
rolling heat. The present description is exclusively devoted to the heat treatment of hot
rolled bars for concrete reinforcement.
Principle of the TMT process
According to the TMT process, a bar leaving the fast finishing blocks, is submitted to a
special heat treating cycle involving three stages :
Prefeasibility Report of Integrated Steel Plant at Bhilwara, Rajasthan
Jindal Saw Limited Page 34
a) The first stage is a drastic water cooling operation applied to the bar as it leaves the
last finishing stand. At the end of this operation, the bar has a surface layer of
martensite, an austenite core and an intermediate layer composed of a mixture of
austenite and martensite, with the martensite content decreasing from skin to core.
b) In the second stage, the bar leaves the area of water cooling and is exposed to air:
the core re- heats the quenched surface layer by conduction and the martensite formed
during the first stage is subjected to self-tempering which ensures adequate ductility
while maintaining a high yield strength level.
c) The third stage occurs as the bar lies on the cooling bed. It consists of a semi-
isothermal transformation of the remaining austenite. The product of this transformation
is a mixture of ferrite and pearlite or ferrite, pearlite and bainite, depending on several
factors, viz. :
- The steel composition;
- The bar diameter;
- The finishing temperature of the rolling sequence;
- The efficiency and duration of cooling during the first stage.
A start-stop walking beam type cooling bed is foreseen to collect and cool the bars
multiples coming from the dividing shear. The cooling bed is fitted with variable
speed driving group and multi-groove lining-up rollers.
The bars already aligned by the lining-up roller table, are conveyed at the end of the
cooling bed where, the automatic, regular formation and extraction of bar layers at
cooling outlet is assured by a system of chain and liftable device, which carry
the multiple length bar layer in “as formed” position to the exit roller table.
At cooling bed exit side the layer of bars is cut to length on static mode by a Heavy
Duty Cold Shear.
Prefeasibility Report of Integrated Steel Plant at Bhilwara, Rajasthan
Jindal Saw Limited Page 35
Finishing Services
To avoid handling short bars (shorter than a sub- multiple length) in the cold cut area,
the exceeding partial sub-multiple can either be chopped with the shears along the
mill (tail pre-optimization). However at the entry of the bundling forming area is
foreseen a set of cradles in order to recover the scrap layer, containing the short bars
which could be in the last layer coming from cooling bed area.
Bundling station
A feeding device, consisting of a table with translating trolleys, which brakes and
unloads the layers of bars from the roller table and deposit to the chain transfer.
Bundle strapping and collecting station
Then the bundles are deposited onto a roller table with vertical idle roller. While the
bundles move forward on the roller table, hydraulic binding machines arranged
sideways tie them. The final collecting system comprises a weighing station (placed
under the roller table) and a step-by-step chain conveyor to allow and facilitate the
bundle removal in-groups, by means of crane.
Power Plant
Surplus blast furnace gas, basic oxygen furnace (BOF) off gas and waste heat
recovered from Sinter plant, BOF and DRI will be used as fuel in boiler to produce
power. In-house generation of electricity will reduce transmission & distribution loss
(T & D loss), which would have occurred in case of supply of electricity from grid
power plant.
The major systems involved in the CPP are a boiler, a bleed cum condensing type
Turbo-generator and water treatment plant.
Apart from above central utility plants will consist of Air Separation Unit, Water
treatment plan, Compressor house, Sewage water treatment plant.
