4.0 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM

4.1 The tenderer shall design the system and provide necessary equipment/system to achieve the emission levels as
following:

Stack emission: 50 mg/Nm3 (Max)

Work zone: Dust content in the work zone shall be limited to 5 mg/Nm3 over and above the prevailing dust level when both
the plant and system are not in operation.

4.2 The guaranteed stack emission and work zone emission are on dry basis.

4.3 The Scope and specifications of Waste Gas Cleaning System and Plant De dusting system shall also conform to the
design basis (NMDC-DMI/DB-UTL-001).

4.4 The emission levels of particulate and other pollutant gases from each source shall comply with the requirements of
State/Central Pollution Control Boards as per the stipulation of the latest Air Act (Prevention and Control of Pollution).

4.5 Waste Gas Cleaning System

Waste gas main of adequate diameter and length fitted with expansion joints, wind box connections and hoods over
induration furnace, down legs for dust discharge, fixed and sliding support, and thermal insulation shall be provided.
Double pendulum flaps shall also be used below waste gas main. For hot material heat resistance type belt conveyor shall
be used. All dust shall be suitably
recycled in the system without creating pollution problem.

Electrostatic precipitator (ESP)

4.5.1 Electrostatic precipitator of adequate capacity shall be provided for cleaning waste gas from pelletising machine. The
outlet gas/air after ESP shall have dust concentration not more than 50 mg/N cum (dry basis) even if one field of the ESP is
out of order.

4.5.2 The tenderer shall consider and indicate space provision in the layout for desulphurization and denitrogenetion
facilities in the event the same are required in future.

4.5.3 Electrostatic precipitator shall be selected based on gas analysis, water vapour content in gas, dust content at ESP inlet
normally encountered for such a plant. The selection shall also consider dust resistance, dust chemistry, volume of gas to be
cleaned, gas temperature and suction in the network (nominal and maximum).

4.5.4 The ESP casing and Hopper shall be designed in compliance with shut off pressure of the ID Fan and shall be able to
withstand the maximum pressure developed by the fan in cold condition to prevent implosion of the ESPs. The minimum
thickness of casing & hopper shall be 8 mm.

4.5.5 Pressure drop across the Electrostatic precipitator shall not exceed 25 mm wc.

4.5.6 ESP to operate above dew point of the gas.

4.5.7 The ESP shall be complete in all respects including electrodes, gas distribution screen, Inlet/Outlet connection, casing,
hopper, TR sets including microprocessor based TR controller,
rapper mechanism and control panel, casing roof, pent house, maintenance platforms, staircases, hand rails, handling
facilities including electrical hoist and monorail , foundation supports, beams, DCV for dust removal, manual gate for
isolating DCV, scrapper conveyor for dust removal, expansion joints for connection of incoming and outgoing gas line,
electrics, instrumentation & control for ESP equipment operation etc. 100% Isolation Gate will be provided before ESP.
Controller shall have data communication facility with PLC system.

4.5.8 ESP, including incoming and outgoing portion of ductwork shall be provided with suitable insulation and cladding.
4.5.9 The emitting electrodes shall preferably be rigid type and the collecting electrodes shall be made from mild steel of
minimum 1.5 mm thick.

4.5.10 Provision shall be made for staircases and external platforms with hand rails to provide necessary safe access to all
parts of the ESP which needs proper maintenance for satisfactory
operation. Staircase shall be provided upto the roof of ESP. Internal platforms will also be provided inside the ESP for
inspection/ maintenance of the collecting and emitting electrodes, rapping hammer systems of the same including the
electrics.

4.5.11 ESP roof shall be covered with a steelwork shed (with side sheetings and louvres) with sufficient head room,
maintenance space and electric hoist for maintenance of T/R sets. Proper maintenance platforms with stair cases shall be
provided for compensators at ESP inlet and outlet.

4.5.12 Dust collecting hoppers of ESP shall be suitably lined with 3mm thick SS plate upto a minimum height of 2m from
bottom to protect them against wear.

4.5.13 The possibility of emergency dust accumulation in ESP hopper for approximately 24 hours of continuous operation
of waste gas cleaning plant without dust disposal shall be considered.
Technological structure for ESP shall be designed considering all the hoppers completely filled with dust. The dust hoppers
shall be provided with high dust level indicators and hopper heaters.

4.5.14 Each hopper shall be provided with motorised double cone valve to discharge dust without air leakage. Slide gates
(manual) shall be provided above each double cone valve for providing maintenance facilities.

4.5.15 Motorized drag chain conveyor shall be provided for handling of ESP dust, located below double cone valves. The
chain, scrapper plates and the flight of drag chain conveyor shall be made from special steel to give a long operating life.
All drag chain conveyors and double cone valves shall be provided with zero speed switches.

4.5.16 The dust collected by scrapper conveyors shall be fed to a suitable pneumatic conveying system of adequate
capacity. The tenderer shall select adequate capacity of the dust silo. The dust from the storage silo is to be fed to the ESP
dust bin located at proportioning bin building.

4.5.17 ESP shall be provided with separate rapping hammers for individual fields.

4.5.18 ESP shall be provided with all safety equipment and proper earthing system for safety of operating and maintenance
personnel.
