CHAPTER 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

M/s Jharkhand lspat Pvt. Lt~. (JIPL) is a registered company under the Company's Act,

established at village - Hesla, P.O. - Argada, Ramgarh District, Jharkhand in the year 2003

for production of sponge iron.

JIPL had installed 2xlOOTPD (Sponge Iron Plant) DRI Units in the year 2003 for production

of 60,000 TPA Sponge Iron after obtaining Consent to Establish from Jharkhand State

Pollution Control Board vide letter No. N-8 dated 31.07.2003.

In the year 2006, another 2x100TPD DRI Kilns for production of 60,000 TPA sponge Iron and

2xl2T Induction furnaces along with Continuous Casting Mill for 80,000 TPA Billet

production were installed after getting NOC from Jharkhand Pollution Control Board

(JSPCB) on 6th November, 2006 vide letter no. 3558 and subsequently obtained Consent to

Operate from the JSPCB till 24.12.2011. As these Units were installed without obtaining

prior environmental clearance under EIA Notification, 2006, hence installation of 2x100

TPD Sponge Iron Plant and 2x12 Ton Induction Furnaces comes under Violation of the EIA

Notification,2006.

j\PL management has realized that for its business to survive, the Company should stop

selling billets and should produce TMT Reinforcement Bars as value added product and also

take measures to reduce cost of production. Accordingly, JIPL has now proposed to install

downstream facilities; a 12T induction furnace, a 90,000 TPA Rolling Mill and 18MW Power

Plant to utilize sensible waste heat energy from the DRI flue gases and dolochar produced

in these Kilns, supplemented by coal.

The present proposal is to obtain Environmental clearance for the Units under Violation as

well for the proposed units.

2.0 THE PROJECT PROPONENT

Mr. Ram Chandra Rungta and Mr. Rajeev Kumar Agarwal are presently the Directors of

Jharkhand lspat Private Umited.

Sri Ram Chandra Rungta, a renowned industrialist from Jharkhand, hails from the reputed

2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND IMPORTANCE TO THE REGION

Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the

backbone of the human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated

as one of the important indicators of socio-economic development and living standard of

the people in any country. All major industrial economies are characterized by the existence

of a strong steel industry and the growth of many of these economies has been largely

shaped by the strength of their steel industries in their initial stages of development.

The Crude steel production in India has grown from a mere 1.5 million tons in 1951 to

106.56 million tons in 2018-19. During the first two decades of planned economic

development, i.e. 1950-60 and 1960-70, the average annual growth rate of steel production

exceeded 8%. According to Ministry of Steel reports, the total production of Crude Steel in

M/s Vardon Environet, Gurugram Jharkhand I spat Pvt. ?rt ~ \ ~ L

Cfrect

Page9

,

Jharkhand lspat Pvt. Ltd.

Annexure-2

Pre-Feasibility Report

India has been 106.56 million tons in 2018-19 as compared to 57.8 million tons in 2007-08

indicating an increase of 91% in the last 10 years (i.e. annual growth rate of above 9%).

2.4 IMPORT Vs INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION

Global Crude steel production has recorded an annual growth of 3.46% during last 10 years

(2008 to 2018). Annual growth rate of crude .st~l production was above 8.5% in India, in

last 10 years in compare to 3.46% world growth rate and this will continue.

2.5 DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP

The per capita steel consum,:>tion in India continues to remain at a level 68 kg in comparison

to World average of about 208 Kg and 350 kg in developed countries. Though, India Is 2nd

largest producer of steel in the World, India's contribution is only 17% of the world steel

production. Hence long term and short-term strategies are necessary in planning the

development of the st eel industry in the country to improve the level of per capita steel

consumption. Private sector is playing an important role in supplementing the requirement

of steel in the country. Their contribution in finished steel production has increased to

58.9% in 2017-18 as compared to 45% in 1992-93.

In order to meet the increasing steel demand, new steel plants shall be established. It has

been observed that a combination of small, medium and large capacity steel plants can

contribute in big way in achieving the national interest of self-reliance.

Considering the demand for steel in these sectors M/s Jharkhand lspat Pvt ltd has planned

to expand the production capacity of its existing plant.

The State can be benefited from the project as there will be direct employment of large

people in the Steel plant. Preference will be giveri to the people of the state possessing

requisite skill and qualification criteria. Also, there will be lot of scope for indirect

employment of the people of the state in and around the project site.

2.6 DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKET

Instead of selling Billets to Rolling Mills of other Units1 it is now proposed to set-up its own

Rolling Mill to produce Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) High Strength Steel

Reinforcement Bars in a most energy efficient and cost-effective manner. These Rebars are

always in high demand in the construction sector. The finished product will be sold in the

Steel Markets of Major states in India especially Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Sikkim, Uttar

Pradesh and North Eastern States. The products will be produced indigenously and will be

consumed in the country and also outside the country as per the demand.

2.7 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT} DUE TO THE PROJECT

Existing manpower of the plant is 220 (including manpower for operation of violating

Units).The estimated additional direct manpower required after the proposed expansion

M/s Vardon Environet, Gurugram Jharkhand !spat Pvt ft . Page

Pre-Feasibility Report

shall be 174, comprising administrative, technical, non-technical, skilled and unskilled

workforce. Approx. SO persons will be employed during construction phase.

The total requirement of manpower in the plant will be avaflable without much difficulty as

the area has industrial exposure in Iron & steel sector. However, specialized training for

operation and maintenance will have to be gi~en to selected candidates well in advance

before commissioning of the plant. / ~

In addition to this there shall be indirect requirement of manpower in transportation sector

for transportation of raw material. Development of nearby industries also envisaged for

supply of additional requirement of Pig Iron I Scrap.

3.6 Process Details •• >I

3.6.1 Sponge Iron Plant (Existing 2x100 TPD, Under Violation 2x100 TPD)

Sponge iron or DRI (direct reduced iron ) is the product obtained from direct reduction of

iron ore. Reduction causes .elimination of oxygen leaving behind a honeycomb like porous

structure which is "Spongy" in nature. Hence the name is Sponge Iron. Sponge Iron or

Direct Reduced Iron, DRI as it is popularly known, is a high ferrous content charge material

and is used as a substitute for steel scrap as the primary raw material in the Induction

Furnace, during the process of manufacture of steel. Sponge Iron is becoming increasingly

important around the world as a raw material source for high quality steel; India being no

exception. In the mid- seventies, the Department of Steel had identified that sponge iron

would play a major role in the growth of the secondary steel sector. Apart from making the

secondary steel sector less vulnerable to fluctuations in the international scrap prices by

reducing dependence on imports, increased domestic production of sponge iron and the

consequent reduction of scrap imports have led to substantial savings in foreign exchange.

There are two well-established processes for the manufacture of sponge iron, namely:

(a) The reformed natural gas process i.e. by the gaseous reduction of the iron ore.

(b) Coal based Rotary Kiln process- Solid reduction.

DRI or Sponge Iron process can use either gas or coal as a reducing agent. Since, in India

availability of gas is limited, coal based DRI are predominant. Proven technology of Coal

based Rotary Kiln process: Solid waste reduction is being used in the existing Sponge Iron

kilns of 4x100 TPD and comprises the following major facilities:

• Raw Material Handling & Feeding System

• Main Processing System - Kiln

• Cooling System

• Product Separation System

• Waste Gas Cleaning System

• Plant De dusting

Four numbers of 100 TPD each rotary kiln is producing 120,000 metric tons of sponge iron

annually considering 300 working days. The raw materials required for sponge iron

production are high grade ores, non-coking coal and dolomite. The annual requirement of

raw material for the production of 120,000 MT of sponge iron is as below. Sponge iron is

presently being used in Steel melting Shop for production of Billets and rest sold. However,

Annexure-2

Pre-Feasibility Report

Induction Furnace (Under Violation 2xl2 Ton, Proposed lxl2 Ton)

IF are basically furnaces meant for use of Sponge Iron as major raw material to produce

mild steel. These furnaces work on the principal of electromagnetic induction. After the

furnace is switched on, current start flowing ar 41 high rate and comparatively low voltage

through the induction coil of the furnace, producing an induced magnetic field inside the

central space of the coils where the crucible is located. The induced magnetic field thus

generated cut through the packed charge in the crucible. As the magnetic flux cut through

the scrap/pig iron and complete the circuit, they generate an induced current in the scrap.

The induced current as it flows the highly resistive path of scrap mix, generate tremendous

amount of heat and melting the scrap. When these additives have melted completely, the

power input may be increased to bring the temperature of metal up to the point most

desirable for pouring. The current is then turned off and the furnace is tilted for pouring

into the ladle. As soon as pouring has ceased, the crucible is cleaned completely from any

slag or metal droplets adhering to the wall of the crucible and the furnace is now ready for

charging again. An induction crucible furnace differs from arc furnace in the ways, which are

important metallurgy, though both types of furnaces are used for making steel from scrap

and alloys. Induction furnace do possess the following characteristics:

- High relatively, narrow melting vessel

- Low Crucible wall thickness

- Relatively small area of metal in contact with slag

- Low slag temperature

- No carburizing during melting down

- Powerful bath motion

Two nos. 12T induction furnaces (each with two crucibles and a common power supply)

are in operation through which production of 72000 TPA MS Billets is done. Additional

lx12Ton Induction Furnace is proposed for increasing the MS Billet production by 36000

TPA.

It may be seen from the Table above that tap~t6 tap time has been aimed at approx. UO

minutes enabling production of lQ-11 heats per day from each Induction Furnace. The

Induction Furnace lining will require repair I replacement after about 15-16 heats. Lining

repair will be done in-situ. )n order to ensure uninterrupted operations a second crucible,

lined and ready should be available. Thus, each furnace station will consist of two crucibles,

complete with all fitting and auxiliaries, installed adjacent to each other.

Continuous Casting Machine (Under Violation- 2x6/11m, Proposed- lx6/11m)

The existing continuous caster is capable of serving the three induction furnaces.

However, for ensuring uninterrupted operations and to improve productivity of the shop,

one additional 6/llm Billet Caster is proposed.

The ladle containing liquid steel is placed on the turret and brought over the tundish. The

tundish act as a buffer and enable the liquid steel to move homogeneously down through

nozzles, provided at the bottom of the tundish into moulds. The automatic mould level

controller controls the steel level in the mould. The subsequent primary and secondary

cooling transform the liquid steel into billets of the required dimensions and is drawn out

with the help of a withdrawal and straightener unit and cut into required length by the

shear provided in each strand. Once a ladle is emptied another ladle is brought into the

casting position and the casting continues. The billets are gradually shifted to the cooling

beds and then stacked orderly at the dispatch end for outside dispatch. The details about

the cast number and quality of billets are marked on the billet stack.

CCM fs used to produce billets of cross-sections 100 sq. mm to 135 sq. mm. as per

3.6.3 Rolling Mill (Proposed)

The company proposes addition of 300 TPD Hot Rolling Mill unit. Red hot billet from CCM

will be directly fed to Rolling mill for production of TMT Bar. Production of Billets from the

proposed plant will be 108,000 TPA. Out of this approx. 91,800 TPA Billets will be fed to the

Rolling Mill for production of 90,000 TPA TMT Bars and rest will be sold in the market.

It is envisaged that hot billets coming out from billet caster at 950-1000°( will be directly

rolled without re-heating. Billets which will not be rolled directly due to mill being down or

any other reason will be sold in the market.

Rolling Mill has been envisaged to produce about 90,000 tons per annum of TMT Bar. It

will use 100 x 100 mm to 135 x 135 mm continuous cast billets from the Steel Melting

shop. The product range from the mill will cover rebars 8-32 mm.

a. Char generated as solid waste in the existing Kilns. It has average calorific value of 1200

Kcai/Kg. The annual generation of Char is 30,000 Tons.

b. Coal with an average calorific value of 3800 Kcai/Kg. Annual requirement is expected to

be about 61,500 Tons

Selection of Type of Boiler

Based on the experience of working of boilers for identical application in similar plants, an

Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustion (AFBC) Boiler is considered to be the ideal

choice. It has the following advantages:

• No need to grind the coal as required for Pulverized fuel firing. The boiler uses a fuel

size of -6 mm.

• As a result of better heat transfer, the unit size and hence the capital costs are reduced.

• It can respond rapidly to changes in load demand since thermal equilibrium between the

fuel particles in the bed is quickly established.

• Low combustion temperature of 800 to 900°C inhibits formation of nitrogen oxides.

• Due to low bed temperature, it can use coal of high ash content upto SO%. Even coals

with 70% ash can be efficiently burnt.

• Dolomite I Lime are used in the bed material to take care of sulphur in the fuel from

pollution ppint of view. Hence high sulphur coals can be used. The Flue Gas

Desulphurization System is not required, thus reducing the capital cost.

• Combustion temperature can be controlled accurately which helps in achieving better

life of tubes in boiler components.

Description of Proposed AFBC Boiler

The Boiler selected for Coal & Char firing is atmospheric bubbling type fluidized bed

combustion boilers of 60 TPH steaming capacity to ensure total 12 MW Power even when

three kilns are in operation.

The Boiler is designed for firing coal and char as the main fuel. The Boiler is lighted up

using Diesel Oil. The complete furnace section is made of water-cooled membrane wall

construction arranged as a gas & pressure tight envelope. Refractory i.s provided inside the

furnace on the water wall for a suitable height.

The steam drum is designed and provided simple and efficient drum internals, resulting in

high steam purity at all load condition of boiler output.

Electrostatic precipitators are envisaged for dust collection. The ESP is designed to limit the

outlet emission to 30 mg/Nm3. The blow down system for the boiler includes one of CBD

and one lBO tank with all associated drains and vents, level gauges, temperature and

pressure gauges etc. The boiler is provided 2 nos. of feed pump along with motor drive.

One spray-cum-tray deaerator with storage tank is provided.

ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

Annexure-2

Pre-Feasibility Report

Over the last few years, there has been a great change in the Indian Economic Scenario due

to Global slowdown which affected the whole world including India. The major sector which

took the toll was Steel & Power Sector. -(>

M/s Jharkhand !spat Pvt. Ltd. (JIPL) is presently operating 4 nos. of 100 Ton DRI Kilns for

production of 120,000 TPA Sponge Iron and two number of 12 Ton Induction Furnace with

Billet Caster for annual production of 72000 TPA MS Billets.

To make end product economically viable in present fluctuating market, JIPL have decided

to go for expansion for production of 90,000 TPA TMT Bars through installation of 1x12 Ton

Induction Furnace with Billet Caster and 300 TPD Rolling Mill.

Also, to utilize the sensible heat of DRI Flue gas, Waste Heat Recovery Boilers have been

proposed for production of 6 MW Power and AFBC Boiler production of 12 MW to utilize

the dolochar produced as by-product in DRI Kilns. This will reduce the dependency for the

power requirement on Grid.

The Directors of JIPL are experienced Industrialist, dynamic, practical, hardworking & self·

made entrepreneur. They have excellent reputation in & around Jharkhand, Bengal, Bihar,

Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh and North Eastern States. The products will be produced indigenously

and will be consumed in the country and also outside the country as per the demand.

The management team consists of experienced and matured professionals. The team is

quite capable of managing the business. Therefore, no financial problem is envisaged.

The technology involved in expansion project is well proven and reliable. Many plants are

operating all over the country in this pattern are successful. All equipment purchased shall

be brand new & latest in model and will be purchased from reputed suppliers. For O&M of

the plant, experienced Engineers /Technicians are available in the region.

The demand for TMT Bar which is about 30% of the total Steel Consumption in the country

is expected to grow from 22.0 Million Tons per annum to about 44.0 Million Tons per

annum by 2020.TMT Rebar are used as Steel Reinforcement Bars in the construction sector

for building the houses, industrial buildings, bridges for highways, roads & railways, schools,

airports, recreation centers, power plants & electrical distribution, civil works etc. The product

has demand in domestic and international market.

Profitability of project is quite attractive. Project is technically and financially viable with

positive impact on the local infrastructure.

producing 6 MW and 12 MW power, respectively.

2.6.2 Process Description

2.6.2.1 Sponge Iron

Sponge iron or DRI (direct reduced iron) is the product obtained from direct reduction of

iron ore. Reduction causes elimination of oxygen leaving behind a honeycomb like

porous structure which is “Spongy” in nature. Hence, it was given name as ‘Sponge Iron’.

Sponge Iron or Direct Reduced Iron, DRI as it is popularly known, is a high ferrous

content charge material and is used as a substitute for steel scrap as the primary raw

material in the Induction Furnace, during the process of manufacture of steel.

There are two well-established processes for the manufacture of sponge iron, namely:

(a) The reformed natural gas process i.e. by the gaseous reduction of the iron ore.

(b) Coal based Rotary Kiln process- Solid reduction.

DRI or Sponge Iron process can use either gas or coal as a reducing agent. Since, in India

availability of gas is limited, coal based DRI are predominant.

Proven technology of Coal based Rotary Kiln process comprises of the following major

facilities:

Raw Material Handling System

Raw Material Feed System

Main Processing System – Kiln

Cooling System

Product Separation System

Waste Gas Cleaning System

Plant De dusting

Four numbers of 100 TPD each rotary kiln is producing 120,000 MT of sponge iron

annually considering 300 working days. The raw materials required for sponge iron

production are high grade ores, non-coking coal and dolomite. The annual requirement

of raw material for the production of 120,000 MT of sponge iron is as below. Sponge

iron is presently being used in Steel melting Shop for production of Billets and rest sold.

However, after the proposed expansion complete sponge iron produced in the plant will

be used in the steel melting shop.

2.6.2.2 Steel Melting Shop

I. Induction Furnace (Under Violation 2x12 Ton, Proposed 1x12 Ton)

Induction Furnace is basically furnaces meant for use of Sponge Iron as major raw

material to produce mild steel. These furnaces work on the principal of electromagnetic

induction. After the furnace is switched on, current start flowing at a high rate and

comparatively low voltage through the induction coil of the furnace, producing an

induced magnetic field inside the central space of the coils where the crucible is located.

The induced magnetic field thus generated cut through the packed charge in the

crucible. As the magnetic flux cut through the scrap/pig iron and complete the circuit,

they generate an induced current in the scrap. The induced current as it flows the highly

resistive path of scrap mix, generate tremendous amount of heat and melting the scrap.

When these additives have melted completely, the power input may be increased to

bring the temperature of metal up to the point most desirable for pouring. The current

is then turned off and the furnace is tilted for pouring into the ladle. As soon as pouring

has ceased, the crucible is cleaned completely from any slag or metal droplets adhering

to the wall of the crucible and the furnace is now ready for charging again. An induction

crucible furnace differs from arc furnace in the ways, which are important

metallurgically, though both types of furnaces are used for making steel from scrap and

alloys. Induction furnace do possess the following characteristics:

High relatively, narrow melting vessel

Low Crucible wall thickness

Relatively small area of metal in contact with slag

Low slag temperature

No carburizing during melting down

Powerful bath motion

Two nos. 12T induction furnaces (each with two crucibles and a common power supply)

are in operation through which production of 72000 TPA MS Billets is done. Additional

1x12Ton Induction Furnace is proposed for increasing the MS Billet production by 36000

TPA.

Low slag temperature

No carburizing during melting down

Powerful bath motion

Two nos. 12 Ton induction furnaces (each with two crucibles and a common power

supply) are in operation through which production of 72000 TPA MS Billets is done.

Additional 1x12Ton Induction Furnace is proposed for enhancing the MS Billet

production from 72,000 to 108,000 TPA.

The ladle containing liquid steel is placed on the turret and brought over the tundish.

The tundish act as a buffer and enable the liquid steel to move homogeneously down

through nozzles, provided at the bottom of the tundish into moulds. The subsequent

primary and secondary cooling transform the liquid steel into billets of the required

dimensions and is drawn out with the help of a withdrawal and straightener unit and

cut into required length by the shear provided in each strand. The existing continuous

casters 2x6/11m are capable of serving the three induction furnaces. However, for

ensuring uninterrupted operations and to improve productivity of the shop, one

additional 6/11m Billet Caster is proposed.

III. Rolling Mill

It is envisaged that hot billets coming out from billet caster at 950-10000C will be

directly rolled without re-heating. Production of Billets from the proposed plant will be

108,000 TPA. Out of this approx. 91,800 TPA Billets will be fed to the proposed Rolling

Mill of 300TPD for production of 90,000TPA TMT Bars and rest will be sold in the

market. The proposed mill is a 12-stand cross country type mill to roll plain and ribbed

bars. The mill will be designed to roll at a maximum finishing speed of about 20 m per

second.

IV. Captive Power Plant

Total power generation for the proposed power plant is 18 MW using Steam Turbine

Generator set. Production of steam required for power generation is proposed from

installation of four (4) nos. of Waste Heat Recovery Boilers and AFBC type boiler.

a) Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB) for Sponge Iron Kilns

Each Kiln has a Waste Gas Volume of 22,000 Nm3 to 25,000Nm3 discharged at 9000C to

9500C (9500C maximum). It is possible to utilize the heat of waste gases by installing a

Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB) for each Kiln. The well tried out configuration for

WHRB is comprised of an Evaporator, Super-heater in two (2) sections and an

Economizer which will bring down the temperature of gases from 900-9500C to 1800C

and produce 9 to 10TPH Steam at a pressure of 66 Ata and 4900C. Proposed Waste Heat

Recovery Boilers will be capable of producing 9-10T/h of steam each from the hot flue

gases produced from existing 4x100Ton DRI Rotary Kilns. Power generation from WHRB

will be 6MW.

The Level of Service (LOS) and the capacity of the Roadway segments has been now revised as per the Indian Roads Congress (IRC) standards sourced from Guidelines for Capacity of Roads in Plain Areas IRC 64-1990. Under existing traffic load on MDR the Level of Service falls under category „A‟ which implies to road with

„Excellent‟ performance. Due to increased production at M/s JIPL after the expansion, there will be increase in the traffic to and from the site. M/s JIPL has decided to adopt Railways as an alternate mode for transport of Raw Material and product. This will help in reducing the existing vehicular traffic on MDR-106 for transportation of Raw Material and Product and will also avoid any additional load on the existing traffic scenario. Details are provided in EIA Section 4.5.6 of Chapter-4.
