    Pellets are agglomerated iron ore fines used in iron production that provide advantages like uniform size, high iron content, and strength. However, since introducing pellets, problems have occurred including increased upper zone gas permeability, higher overall differential pressure requiring reduced blowing parameters and lower production, and decreased carbon monoxide utilization leading to higher fuel usage and lower production.

    Problems due to Pellet charging.

    Pellets are thermally agglomerated iron ore fines with addition of some binder/coke/coal dust/dolo.
    Final product is fired balls with mean size 11-13 and FE content around 60-63%. Main advantages
    being narrow band of size variation, high iron content and high strength. After introduction of pellets
    in our burden mix some problems encountered are-

    1. Increase in upper zone permeability . Normal value is .35 to.40. After pellet charging this
    value increases to .45 to .50.
    2. Increase in overall DP(>1.65) causing throttling of blowing parameters and in turn low
    production .
    3. Decrease in CO utilization is observed for pellet charging causing high Fuel Rate and
    decreased production.
