Chapter – 2: INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROJECT


Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division), have proposed to setup the Integrated steel plant at Plot
No. AL-2, Sector 23, GIDA Industrial Area, Village Sahbazganj & Domharmafi, Tehsil Sahjanwa,
District Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.

In view of the tremendous market potential of iron & steel products promoters have decided
to set-up an Integrated Steel Plant with Captive Power Plant. This project shall consist of
production of Sponge Iron (DRI), Steel Billets, Re-rolled products (TMT Bars and structural
steel) with Captive Power Plant. Integration and Captive power will make the project
profitable and make it financially more viable. The in-house consumption of sponge iron for
manufacturing of billets, which would further be rolled into TMT bars and captive power plant
utilizing the waste heat rejects from the sponge iron would improve the overall profitability of
the project. The modules of the projects are as follows:

S.No Division Rational


1. DRI To produce sponge iron by installing 02 Rotary Kiln with a
(Sponge Iron) capacity of 350MT/Day, Assuming 330 Working days in a
year the final annual capacity comes to 2,31,000 MT. This
production of Sponge Iron will be utilized in the in-house
Steel Melt Shop (Induction Furnace with Continuous

requirement of 40 MW and efficient utilization of waste
heat (Gases) and solid waste (Dolochar) coming out from
DRI kilns. This will reduce the overall cost of power
significantly. Entire power shall be consumed by the unit
itself. A 40 MW Turbo Generator (TG) will be installed with
16 MW WHRB (2 x 40TPH) and 24 MW FBC Boiler (1 x
110TPH). The above shall fulfil almost the entire need of
power of the proposed project.

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR REGION
Steel Industry
Looking at the present world and India Steel scenario, decision by the Company to set up the
unit is timely. Indian Steel industry is poised for a massive growth in next 10-12 years.
International Steel Scenario
Global Steel demand is rising on the back of accelerated infrastructure activity in China, CIS
countries & India; housing and industrial boom in Middle East and the African Countries.
During the last almost decade-long recession, the industry has consolidated in terms of
ownership as well as mothballing of inefficient capacities. Internationally steel prices are
expected to continue firming up.
National Steel Scenario
Indian government has announced National Steel Policy (NSP) in early November, 2005. The
policy envisages a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% per annum in steel sector up
to 2019-20. To achieve this, the NSP aims to increase indigenous production from 44Mt level
to about 110 Mt by 2019-20, through multi-pronged strategy. The focus of NSP is on to
achieving global competitiveness, not only in terms of cost, quality and product- mix but also
in terms of global benchmarks of efficiency and productivity.
The government proposes to create incremental demand for domestic consumption of steel
through promotional efforts, awareness drives and strengthen the delivery chain, particularly
in rural areas.
According to available estimates, the NSP mentions that domestic consumption of steel in
India stood at 31Mt in 2003-04. Bringing production up to 110 Mt would, therefore, mean an
increase in domestic consumption of about 80Mt. The urban per capita consumption is

5
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

expected to go up from the present level of 77 kg to 165 kg in 2019-20 at CAGR of 5%, while
in rural areas the consumption is slated to double from 2 kg to 4 kg at CAGR of 4.4 %.
To boost production to a level of 110 Mt by 2019-20, the domestic producers of steel have
announced massive expansion of capacities. In addition, many Greenfield projects have been
planned. Two big global players from abroad, MITTAL ARCELOR, the world’s biggest steel
producer and POSCO of South Korea, globally the fifth largest producer of steel, have also
joined the Indian steel industry’s venture to meet the growth targets. Looking at the world
average per capita steel consumption of 150 kg and the average of 328 kg in developed
countries, the projections of NSP seem to be quite realistic.

2.3 DEMAND AND SUPPLY GAP


Demand for steel is high and as soon as they are processed they will be supplied to nearby
industries.

2.4 EXPORT POSSIBILITY


As the Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage from 2007-08, riding
high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel. Rapid rise in production has
resulted in India becoming the 3rd largest producer of crude steel and the largest producer of
sponge iron or DRI in the world. As the demand is more the export possibility of Sponge Iron
will also be more. As the demand is more the export possibility will also be more.

2.5 DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKETS


Indian Steel Industry
India was the world’s third-largest steel producer in 2016. The growth in the Indian steel
sector has been driven by domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost-
effective labour. Consequently, the steel sector has been a major contributor to India’s
manufacturing output. The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel
mills. It has always strived for continuous modernisation and up-gradation of older plants and
higher energy efficiency levels.
Market Size
India’s crude steel production grew by 7.4 per cent year-on-year to 95.6 Million Tonnes (MT)
in 2016. Total production of crude steel during February 2017 grew by 8.5 per cent year-on-
year to 8.08 MT. India’s steel exports grew 150.0 per cent year-on-year to 0.75 MT in

6
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

February 2017, while steel imports declined 46 per cent year-on-year to 0.49 MT. Total
consumption of finished steel grew by 3.4 per cent year-on-year to 76.22 MT during April
2016-February 2017.
Investments
Steel industry and its associated mining and metallurgy sectors have seen a number of major
investments and developments in the recent past.
According to the data released by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the
Indian metallurgical industries attracted Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to the tune of US$
10.15 billion, respectively, in the period April 2000– December 2016.
Some of the major investments in the Indian steel industry are as follows:
• Tata Steel has signed an agreement to purchase a majority 51 per cent stake in Creative
Port Development (CPDPL), which has a concession agreement with the Odisha
government to develop a 10 million-tonnes-per-annum (MTPA) Subarnarekha port at
Chamukh village in Balasore district of Odisha.
• Tidfore Heavy Equipment Group, the China-based infrastructure giant, is looking to
enter the Indian market by signing an investment agreement worth US$ 150 million
with Uttam Galva Metallics, to expand its Wardha unit along with South Korean steel
major Posco.
• ArcelorMittal SA is looking to set up a joint venture (JV) factory in India with state-
owned Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL), to manufacture high-end steel products which
could be used in defence and satellite industries.
• JSW Group plans to invest around Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 1.5 billion) at Salboni in West
Bengal to set up 1,320 Megawatt (MW) coal-based power plant, 4.8 million tonne
cement plant and paints factory over a period of next five to seven years.
• National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) has planned to invest Rs 40,000
crore (US$ 6 billion) in the next eight years to achieve mining capacity of 75 Million
Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) by FY2018-19 and 100 MTPA by FY2021-22, compared to 48
MTPA current capacity.
• Posco Korea, the multinational Korean steel company, has signed an agreement with
Shree Uttam Steel and Power (part of Uttam Galva Group) to set up a steel plant at
Satarda in Maharashtra.

7
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

• ArcelorMittal, world’s leading steel maker, has agreed a joint venture with Steel
Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) to set up an automotive steel manufacturing facility in
India.
• Iran has evinced interest in strengthening ties with India in the steel and mines sector,
said ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr Gholamreza Ansari in his
conversation with Minister of Steel and Mines, Mr Narendra Singh Tomar.
• Public sector mining giant NMDC Ltd will set up a reenfield 3-million tonne per annum
steel mill in Karnataka jointly with the state government at an estimated investment of
Rs 18,000 crore (US$ 2.7 billion).
• JSW Steel has announced to add capacity to make its plant in Karnataka the largest at 20
MT by 2022.
The Indian economy is rapidly growing and is emerging as the second largest developing
economy of the world, which has a great impact on domestic consumption of steel as well as
export potential to other countries. As a result of this, the demand for iron & steel remains
extremely good, this would continue for next 10 years if not less, since the per capita
consumption of steel in India is still very low compared to other developed countries. For
rapid development of economy and infrastructure of the country it is necessary to increase
the production of steel within the country. Technology –wise, the modern day Indian steel
industry is a mix of the old and the new, and traditionally, the following groups are identified.
Primary producers:
The integrated steel plants which operate mainly with Blast furnace –Basic oxygen furnace (BF
–BOF) route for producing finished steel.
Secondary producers:
These are the producers operating through routes other than BF – BOF. Generally followed
routes are: (1) Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) and Induction furnace (IF) melting units using scrap,
DRI/ HBI, pig iron etc. in various combinations as input mix, (2) MBF – EAF route where the
charge materials for EAF use about 50% hot metal from MBF making the operation more
economical due to the inherent chemical energy of hot metal. (3) Rest of the charge is DRI
and generated scrap Processors / Rerollers having only the downstream Rolling mills, forging
shops etc which process the semi- finished materials produced by primary and secondary
producers.

8
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

Primary producers are the four plants of the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), and the
Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL). Both are in public sector and Tata Steel (TISCO), in the
private sector.
Many big producers have also come up in the Secondary sector such as Essar Steel, Ispat
industries, Jindal Strips, Bhushan Steel, JVSL (JSW now) etc.

The economic reforms and consequent liberalization of Iron & steel sector which started in
1991, brought about a sea change in the industry, particularly setting up of new steel plants in
the private sector. Steel industry was de-licensed and de-controlled in 1991 & 1992
respectively.
• India is currently the 3rd largest producer of crude steel in the world.
• In 2015-16, production for sale of total finished steel (alloy + non alloy) was 90.98 mt, a
decline of 1.3% over 2014-15.
• Production for sale of Pig Iron in 2015-16 was 9.23 mt, a decline of 4.8% over 2014-15.
• India was the largest producer of sponge iron in the world during the period 2003-2015
and was the 2 nd largest producer in 2016 (after Iran) . The coal based route accounted
for 89% of total sponge iron production in the country in 2015-16.

2.6 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT


The estimated manpower requirement for the proposed project is 500 numbers (Direct) and
1000 numbers (Indirect).
Efficient management of the unit requires judicious manpower planning, selection of
Qualified and experienced personnel and appropriate organizational structure clearly defining
the functions and responsibility of the managerial and supervisory staff. The manpower

9
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

requirement in accordance with the targeted production of plant operation has been
estimated on the following consideration:-
1. The estimated production and productivity level which is achievable in various sections of
the plant with the proposed plant and machineries.
2. The total number of personnel required to perform various duties associated with the
different processing steps leading to production of steel billets, Re-rolled Products,
captive power plant and Wheat products.
A preliminary estimate of the manpower requirement for the proposed project are based on
the industry norms taking into account leaves, absenteeism, sickness and holidays for smooth
and efficient operation of the plant. Further, the implementation of industrial laws and
regulations and location factors of labour employment will also have to be considered.
Division wise man power requirement are as under:-
S.No. Division Requirement
1 Sponge Iron Division 125
2 SMS Division 100
3 Rolling Mill 75
4 Power Plant 75
5 Common 125
Total 500

Besides above unit creates indirect job opportunities for thousands of people. Various kinds
of skilled and unskilled workers employed in the steel industry all over the country are
majority from U.P. and Bihar. As such getting a chance to work in their own region would be a
big attraction and therefore adequate manpower will be easily available.

3.5 MANUFACTURING PROCESS


3.5.1 DRI KILN BASED SPONGE IRON PLANT
It is proposed to install 2 DRI Rotary Kiln of 350 TPD capacities. The annual capacity of the DRI
unit will be 2,31,000 MT. The process for the production of sponge iron consists of the
reduction of iron ore / pellets with solid carbonaceous material (coal/coke/lignite) in a rotary
kiln at high temperature, cooling to room temperature in the rotary cooler with indirect water
cooling system, screening and magnetic separation of the product. Sponge iron being
magnetic gets attracted and separated from the non-magnetic char. The Kiln is inclined at 2°
approximately. In the process for the production of sponge iron, the raw materials (iron ore /
pellets, feed coal and lime stone /dolomite) are fed to the rotary kiln through feed tube in a
pre-determined ratio by electronic weighing equipment. Rotary kiln is rotated by an AC
variable speed motor at a steeples variable speed ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 rpm. Due to
inclination and rotary motion of the kiln the material moves from the feed end of the kiln to
the discharge end in approximately 12 hrs. (Tendency time). The fine coal is blown counter
currently from the discharge end of the kiln to maintain the required temperature and the
carbon concentration in the bed. The kiln has seven shells air fans mounted on the top which
blow air in the respective zones to maintain the required temperature profile. The material

14
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

and the hot gasses move in the counter current direction and as a result Iron Ore / pellets
gets pre-heated and gradually reduced by the time it reaches the discharge end.
The kiln is divided into two zones namely pre-heating zone and reduction zone. The pre-
heating zone is normally 30% of the total length of the kiln and the rest is taken as the
reduction zone. The material gets heated to the reduction temperature in the pre-heating
zone up to 500°C, the iron ore / pellets, coal and limestone gets dried and all the moisture is
vaporised. Thereafter, the material moves to reduction zone. In reduction zone, the iron ore/
pellet is deoxidized where the magnetite is reduced to metallic iron. Temperatures are
maintained at around 10000C in this zone to enable the de-oxidization of the Iron ore/ Pellet.
Coal contains sulphur in it. During the decomposition of the coal the sulphur is released in the
form of Iron sulphide. The iron sulphide (FeS) has deleterious effect in the steel making and is
to be removed. So limestone is used to prevent the sulphur pick up by the sponge iron. All the
above reactions are possible only in the presence of CO. The generation of the CO is most
important reaction, which is called the Boudard reaction. This reaction is highly endothermic
which is also reversible. The conditions favourable for the forward reaction i.e. the generation
of CO is:
• The higher temperature favours the production of CO.
• The concentration of the reactants has to high so that the forward reaction occurs.
• Low pressure favours the CO generation.
Oxygen required for the burning of these combustibles is supplied from the air tubes placed
along the length of the kiln. By controlled combustion, the temperature in the various zones is
maintained so that the reduction is proper and to sufficient degree. The reduction of iron
ore/pellet is topo-chemical i.e. the reduction proceeds from the surface to the core. The iron
ore/pellet on partial reduction has all the different stages of the reduction. The hot material
after the reduction is complete is then transferred to the rotary cooler via the transfer chute.
The rotary cooler is made up of Mild Steel shell. It is inclined at 2° approximately and rotates
at variable speed from 0.2- 1.2 rpm. It is driven by an AC variable speed motor. The water is
sprayed on the top of the shell, which cools the material inside the cooler indirectly. The heat
from the material is extracted by the shell. In order to increase the surface area for the heat
extraction fins are welded inside. Complete shell is covered by thin layer of water. The heat is
transferred from the shell to the water by convection. By this the material gets cooled to
80oC and is discharged on the belt conveyor by the double pendulum valve. The double

15
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

pendulum valve acts as the seal for the prevention of the atmospheric air into the kiln cooler
system. The total kiln cooler system is kept under positive pressure. This prevents the
atmospheric air from getting into the system. The kiln has to be always operated on positive
pressure, as any leakage into the system will cause the re-oxidation of the sponge iron
thereby causing the drop in the quality of the product. The material after the discharge from
the cooler is dropped on to the cooler discharge conveyor. A diversion chute is provided at
the head end of this conveyor for diversion of the material in case of break down in the
production separation. The material is then sent to the product separation system. In product
separation system consisting of double deck screen, the material is screened to 0-15 mm size
fractions. The oversize i.e. +20 mm obtained is small quantity so it is taken on the floor or
diverted to the sponge iron bin. The 0-3mm size fraction is called the fines are fed to a drum
type magnetic separator where the magnetic sponge iron fines and the non-magnetic
dolochar separated and fed to the respective bins through the chutes and conveyor. The
coarser fraction is similarly separated by another magnetic separator and fed to respective
bins. This magnetic fraction is called the sponge iron lumps and the non- magnetic as
dolochar which is the unburned coal. This dolochar acts as a fuel for our captive power plant.
As such, it is transferred to power plant through conveyors and is consumed along with coal
in there boiler to generate power. The gasses, which flow in the counter current direction of
the material, go to the dust-settling chamber where the heavier particles settle down. These
particles are continuously removed by the wet scrapper system. The gasses then pass to the
After Burner Chamber (or Post Combustion Chamber – PCC) where the residual carbon or CO
is burned by the excess air available. The gasses are at high temperature and have lot of heat
energy, which shall be utilized for the power generation through the waste heat recovery
boiler. The hot gasses after the heat recovery boiler get cooled to below 200°C. The gases are
then cleaned passing the gasses to ESP (Electrostatic precipitator). This clean gas at a
temperature of below 90 degree centigrade is passed into the atmosphere through the
chimney.

Power after changing the frequency of cycle in between 250 to 500 HZ through thyresters (an
electronic device). This converted A.C. power with a frequency of 250 to 500 HZ is passed
through capacitor Rack after achieving the de-sired voltage and the same is passed through
copper Bus Bar into Molten bath having copper coil, cooled through water circulation,
transparent the heat energy into molten bath at constant voltage to melt the Iron and Steel at
a temperature of 1625°C. The continuous effort made by technologists has led to the
development of the process parameters by which considerable quantity of sponge iron are
used in steel making. This has brought a new era in steel melting technology in the country
where scrap scarcity can no more be a threat to the mini steel plants.
Continuous Casting Machine:
Liquid Metal from Induction Furnace is carried in a ladle over the Concast Machine. The liquid
metal flows from the ladle through a slide gate system underneath it into water cooled
copper mould tubes which solidifies the liquid metal into a square shaped mould which we
call as M.S. Billets. From the considered casting cycle time, the number of strands required to
cast 100 mm sq. to 150 mm sq. billets is worked out to be two (2). Based on the above, 2 –
strand billet casting machine suitable for casting up to 200 mm sq was selected. The caster is
6/11 meter radius machine with two strands with a provision to add one more strand in
future.

3.5.3 ROLLING MILL

3.5.4 POWER PLANT


It is proposed to install 24 MW FBC and 16 MW WHRB based power plant. The Company
proposes installation of 01 number of 110 TPH FBC boiler which will generate 24 MW of
Power and 02 number of 40 TPH WHRB Boiler which will generate 16 MW of power making a
total capacity of 40 MW. The proposed CPP consist of 02 waste heat recovery boiler of 40 TPH
steam generation capacity and one Fluidised Bed Combustion Boiler (FBC) of 110 TPH.
Company will be installing turbine (Turbo Generator) of the matching capacity to the boilers
to produce the total 40 MW of Power.

WHRB Power Plant


The waste heat recovery boiler of both the Kilns will generate about 40 TPH of steam each
with the outlet parameters of 110 Ksc(a) and 640 Deg. C., while taking in the feed water at
160° C from the de-aerator. The entire waste gas from the sponge iron kiln will be utilized in
the waste heat boiler for the steam generation.

19
Prefeasibility Report Ankur Udyog Ltd. (Steel Division)
[Integrated Steel Plant]

Total 80 TPH of steam generated in the boilers is fed to the main steam line. About 0.25 TPH
of steam is used for the ejector and turbine gland sealing after pressure and temperature
reduction to 235 Deg.C. Around 0.096 TPH of feed water is used as spray. 68.36 TPH of steam
is fed to the extraction cum condensing turbine. The uncontrolled extraction from the turbine
at 6.5 Ksc (a) gives 6.26 TPH of steam approximately at a temperature of 231 Deg.C. This
steam is used in the de-aerator, for heating up the feed water to temperature of 160 Deg.C.

FBC Power Plant


Fluidised bed combustion is a “Clean Technology for a better tomorrow” where technology
and economy have been interwoven harmoniously in quest of a better environment. The
environmentally friendly perspective of this technology is as follows:
1. At the low combustion temperature of 850°C / 900°C, no Nitrogen Oxides result from the
Nitrogen in the combustion air, with the end result of extremely low Nox emissions even
with fuels rich in Nitrogen.
2. Formation of SOX is essentially prevented by the addition of limestone. This is both mixed
into the fuel and blown into the combustion chamber. Due to the favourable conditions in
the fluidized bed, about 90% of the resulting Sulphur Oxides can be removed.
3. Better Plant flexibility at partial loads of about 25% and quick load changes.
4. Low Auxiliary Power consumption compared to other coal fired Boiler versions.
The Steam Generator would be semi-outdoor type, natural circulation, and balanced draft,
Single drum, designed for firing different grades of coal. The Boiler is of bubbling fluidised bed
type to handle even high ash coal. Capacity of FBC coupled with adjacent WHRB has been
selected to ensure adequate margin over the requirement of turbine at 100% MCR. FBC
would be designed to operate with “The HP heaters out of service” condition (resulting in
lower feed water temperature at Economizer inlet) and deliver Steam to meet the Turbo-
Generator requirement at 100% MCR. Economizer section of the Boiler would be non-
Steaming type. Super heater sections would be convection type and designed so as to
maintain rated Steam temperature of 540°C (:i: 5°C) at super heater outlet over the control
range of 60% to 100%, MCR. Attemperator is provided at the outlet of convection super
heater for temperature control at Steam Generator outlet. The Boiler furnace and flue gas
passages would be designed for appropriate low velocities in order to minimize erosion.
Suitable balanced draft System would be provided for the Steam Generator with one forced

draft and one induced draft fans. Each of these fans would be capable of meeting the air
requirement at 100% Boiler MCR load. The forced draft fans would be radial type with inlet
vane control for regulation of airflow. The induced draft fans would be radial type with multi
louver damper control the regulation. The forced draft fans would control total air flow to
Boiler and the induced draft fan would control furnace draft of the Boiler through automatic
control loops. In addition to the FD fan, one primary air fan of 100% capacity shall be provided
for transportation of fuel. The Boiler would be top supported type and would be provided
with all supporting Steel platforms, galleries and stairways for easy approach and
Maintenance of the Unit. Adequate weather protection would be provided for instruments
and operating personnel. Necessary insulation along with skin casing to limit outside surface
temperature to the safe level would be provided.
