1 Minutes of the 36th Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee ...

The reconfiguration proposed is that of BF from 550 m 3 to 2015 m 3 , Coke Oven from 0.7 MTPAto 1.0 MTPA, Sinter plant from 60 m 2 to 204 m 2 , addition of new VD/AOD and lime plant of 600 TPDcapacity. The justification for above is that, scarcity in availability of quality raw material for DRIproduction resulting in lower production i.e. 1.8 MTPA in place of designed capacity of 2.4 MTPA. Tocompensate the shortage of DRI, additional hot metal (about 1.4 MTPA) is required. Hence, the highercapacity of BF. Accordingly, other facilities also need to be reconfigured. There is no additional landrequirement, no additional raw water to be drawn from the source and the additional power requirementwill be met through the existing CPP.The discussion and deliberations on the subject matter could not be completed and it wasdecided that the matter shall be taken up in the next meeting. The committee has also sought a detailedcomparative pollution load of various parameters due to the proposed reconfiguration.36.2.16 Ferro Alloy Plant with installation of 2 x 6.5 MVA Submerged Arc Furnace and manufacture 28,000 TPA of Fe-Mn and 19,000 TPA of Si-Mn and 9300 TPA of Fe-Si or 19,000 TPA of Ferro-Chrome at Sy.
