used. Coal will be purchased from the local market. The Tunnel kiln of 50 m of
length will be provided for reduction of iron ore into sponge iron using coal
or coke fines as reductant. The carbothermic reduction of iron ore takes place
in horizontal tunnel kiln. Reduction mix consisting of coal or coke fines of
the size 3 mm or below, anthracite and limestone is charged with iron ore fines
or iron ore briquettes in ceramic muffles/saggers. Generally, Iron ore fines
are converted into briquettes in briquetting machine where iron ore fines are
compressed under high pressure to form briquettes, which are then charged with
coal fines and limestone in ceramic (Silicon Carbide) saggers. Ceramic saggers
give life of about 10-12 heats. The materials are arranged in alternate layers
in the form of concentric rings within a sagger. The kiln cars first travel
through the preheating zone, then through the reduction zone, where the ore is
reduced into iron at a constant high temperature of 1100-1200°C. The kiln cars
are then cooled in the cooling zone of the kiln. It takes approximately 28-36
hours for a kiln car to travel through a kiln.
To control the particulate emissions from coal firing, chimney
of 25 m height will be provided. Further, the temperature of the flue gas will
be used for heating the charged saggers in the pre heating zone. Bag filters
will be provided near material handling area to control the dust emission.

acres of plant area. There are no National Park/Wildlife Sanctuary/Biosphere
Reserve/RF/PF within 10 km radius of the project site. The estimated project cost of the proposed project is about Rs.700 Crores.
Cement manufacture consists principally of
blending in a definite proportion, a material containing calcium oxide
(Limestone) with a siliceous material (china clay) along with certain additives
or corrective material (such as iron dust, red ochre etc) and then burning the
mixture at very high temperature in a kiln. The resulting Clinker is then
cooled and ground with gypsum to produce finish product Ordinary Portland
Cement (OPC), with gypsum and fly ash to produce finish product Pozzolona Portland
Cement (PPC) & Slag.
Limestone (Own
mines- Chilhati Lime Stone), Clinker (SKS Clinker plant and outside sources), Iron
Ore (local market), Coal (SECL), Fly ash (Captive CPP & SKS 1200 MW ITPP at Raigarh) and Gypsum (local
market) are the raw materials that will be used.
All the units
will be provided with stack having adequate height for the dispersion of
gaseous emissions. The particulate emissions will be controlled below 50 mg/Nm3
by providing ESP and bag filters. The total water requirement for proposed project is
about 2,930 m3/day and will be sourced from River Sheonath. The
wastewater generated in various processes will be used in dust suppression,
greenbelt development and the balance will be routed to raw water reservoir.
The plant will be operated on Zero effluent discharge condition. Domestic waste
water will be treated and used in greenbelt development. Major solid wastes
generated from the proposed project would be dust particles from pollution
control equipment will be recycled in the process other waste from STP and
colony will be utilized as manure for the green belt within the plant premises.
