EARTHSTAHL & ALLOYS PVT. LTD.

2.3 Bankers

Company is banking with Bank of India.

2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country
and/or region

The need for Ferro alloys, Casting & forging of Iron & Steel Rolling mill will
grow with the Infrastructure development of the Country. Iron ore washing
plant as a part of the iron making facility is required due to the runaway
increase in iron ore prices and shortage of Iron ore in the recent year in India.
Chhattisgarh state has abundant raw minerals resulting in a major steel
producer state, it also has surplus power which is a major requirement for
Ferro alloys. There being many big PSUs and other major steel producers, for
them Ferro alloys is the major consumable item and these Plants also have a
regular requirement of Casting and forging.

In view of the above, M/s EarthStahl & Alloys Pvt Ltd. has decided to setup
the above said project.

2.5 Demand -Supply Gap


Steel Industry in India is on an upswing because of the strong global and
domestic demand. India’s rapid economic growth and soaring demand by
sectors like infrastructure, real estate and automobiles, at home and abroad,
has put Indian steel industry on the global map. According to the latest report
by International Iron and Steel Institute (IISI), India is the seventh largest steel
producer in the world. The current status of iron ore and its future prospects
have direct relationship mainly with steel production in India. The total iron
ore resources in India are approximately 25,249 Million tonnes (out of which
Hematite constitutes 14,630 MT and Magnetite constitutes 10,619 MT). Out of

12
EARTHSTAHL & ALLOYS PVT. LTD.

the total production, 56% of iron ore production comes out as fines and 44% as
boulders which have to be sized to 10-30 mm for blast furnaces and 6-18 mm
for sponge iron plants. Iron ore in a finely ground state is not easily
transported or readily processed .Thus it is necessary to agglomerate the fine
ground ore into pellet using binders.

2.6 Cost of the Project


Since the report includes a project which is already under operation the Cost
of Project, Thus, for the established unit the Gross capital made has been
considered as cost of project and for the others it is estimated based on
enquires floated, quotations received. The financing and pre-operative cost has
been considered based on the proposed financial package.

The existing project cost is Rs.25.00 Crores and estimated cost of the
proposed project is Rs.81.00 Crores, the total cost thus evaluated to be
Rs.92.00 Crores including pre-operative expenses and margin money for
working capital requirements. The details of the cost are under given.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF FERRO ALLOYS

PROCESS OF SILICO MANGANESE / FERRO MANGANESE


MANUFACTURE
Production of Silico Manganese / Ferro Manganese in submerged arc electric
furnace is a process of smelting (reduction of oxide and melting of alloy and
slag) of manganese flux. The gangue in the ore is slagged off with dolomite as
flux.

Reduction of oxides of manganese and iron (present in Mn ore) and quartz is


carbothermic process. Which results in formation of respective carbides
necessitating fixed carbon input in the form of coke. Impurities such as
phosphorus, sulphur etc. also get reduced into the metal. The flue gas will let
out through the chimney.

The manufacturing process is continuous. Pre-mixed raw materials are fed


continuously into the furnace in required proportions through overhead
storage hoppers.

The liquid metal and slag are tapped out at regular intervals through common
tap holes. The metal is timed into cast iron moulds and the slag granulated for
disposal.

The metal, after stripping from the moulds are sized according to the
customers requirement and dispatched as loose in bulk or packed in gunny
bags.

Process Hazards:-
The whole process shall be carried out at higher temperature involving liquid
metal and slag.

PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE

We intend to setup a Foundry based on lost foam casting process to


manufacture Grey Iron, Ductile iron, Steel and Alloy Steel Castings. The target
is to manufacture small castings between 0.2 kg to 200 kg and cater the needs
of Steel Plants, Pallet Plants, cement plants, Sinter Plants, Railway Coach
Factories, Pump, Agriculture equipment, Automobile and valve Industries.

The Lost foam Casting Process


The project envisages creating facilities of modern foundry methods using Lost
Foam casting process where a high density polystyrene or styro foam pattern is
40
EARTHSTAHL & ALLOYS PVT. LTD.

used. The pattern is dipped into special refractory paint which forms coating.
This enables near net shape castings which can be made more cost-effectively
than by the sand moulding process. The process has got following distinct
advantages.

High Integrity Castings with, Exceptional Surface Finish:

This being a ceramic molding process, inclusions, gas, hot tears and other
casting defects associated with sand molding are avoided. It also gives the
products exceptional surface finish that is at par with that of products made by
the investment process.

Pre-expansion
The tiny spherical polystyrene beads are expanded to about 30-40 times their
original size using a small quantity of pentane (typically 5% by weight) as a
blowing agent. This process involves the heating of beads, using a flow of
steam, which causes the blowing agent to boil and thus a honeycomb of closed
cells is formed. As the material cools the pentane liquefies and a partial
vacuum is formed inside the bead. It takes about 45 minutes. The beads are
returned to a holding tank for approximately twelve hours to allow the reassure
differential to equalize, giving a stabilized granule.

Raw Materials for the manufacture of Castings

1. Cast Iron 6. FeMn


2. Pig Iron (Fdy. Grade) 7. SiMn
3. Steel Scrap 8. Inoculin
4. Dolomite 9. Cored wire Mg. / Fesi Mg.
5. FeSi

Raw materials like Pig Iron Steel, Ferro Alloys etc. are melted in Induction
Furnace with Fesi, FeMn, Cast iron (liquid metal available), the melted metal
is adjusted in the Induction Furnace for its composition super heated to the
require temperature. The metal is then tapped, inoculated and poured into
mould already prepared. Necessary lab, chemical and physical checks are
carried out for adequacy.

The moulds are prepared this way:-

A pattern is made as per the requirements of the drawing of the customer. It is


then fitted in a match plate, mounted on to moulder machines and is
prepared with Bentonite, coal dust and water in sand conditioning plant
as per requirement. A moulding base is placed on to the match plate on the
machine and prepared silica sand is fed into the box.

43
EARTHSTAHL & ALLOYS PVT. LTD.

The casting thus poured is shot blasted, fettled. Dimensional checks, hydraulic
testing, machining etc. is done as per requirement. Heat treatment and
tempering is done on casting wherever necessary. As per market requirement
forging will also be done with proper capacity of press. After doing final
inspection the castings are painted, packed and dispatched.

This iron is chosen because of its remarkable combination of strength,


toughness and wears resistance. Its outstanding features are good corrosion
resistance and oxidation resistance. Magnetic properties, strength and
dimensional stability at elevated temperature are its very good features.

These properties are developed by a closely controlled heat treatment


operation called austempering which develops a union matrix structure of
bainitic ferrite (60%) and retained (high carbon) austenite. This is thermally
stable at extremely low temperatures but is work hardanable and will locally
transform into martin site under suitable conditions of stress. This phase is
extremely hard.

Re Heating Furnace
The billets (Raw Material) are charged on the Billet charging bed (reheating
furnace)by the billet yard crane and then charge through back charging door
by Mechanical Pusher inside the furnace and the heated billets are discharged
from reheating furnace through side discharging door by mechanical ejector
and processed through roughing mill train

Pusher-Type Furnaces
Continuous pusher-type furnaces were designed initially for heating billets and
small bloom sections. The hearths were relatively short in length and were
sloped downward longitudinally towards the discharge end to permit an easy
movement of billets through the furnace. Pushers were used to push forward
the charge of cold billets.
Longer furnaces generally are constructed now. Some have hearths about 24.5
metres (80feet) long, with top and bottom firing, and contain preheating,
heating and soaking zones. Recuperators are utilized to provide waste-heat
recovery. Multiple-zone furnace (e.g. five-zone slab heating furnace) have been
evolved from one-zone furnace in the early designs. to the modern five-zone
slab heating furnace.
The steel to be heated in a continuous furnace can be charged either from the
end or through a side door. In either case, the steel is moved through the
furnace by pushing the last piece charged with a pusher at the charging end.
As each cold piece is pushed into the furnace against the continuous line of
material, a heated piece is removed. The heated piece is discharged by several
methods, such as through an end door by gravity upon a roller table which
feeds the mill, or pushed through a side door to the mill table by suitable
manual or mechanical means or withdrawn through the end door by a
mechanical extractor.

50
EARTHSTAHL & ALLOYS PVT. LTD.

Advantages of the pusher-type furnaces are collected as follows:


 High production per dollar investment, high hearth area efficiency, and
high production per square foot of ground space occupied.
 Low maintenance, ease in charging and drawing steel, less trouble from
temperature inequalities between each succeeding piece drawn.
 Better means for controlling the rate of heating at all temperature levels.
Gradual rise in temperature permits charging all grades of cold steel
without cooling furnace.
 Can be built for any reasonable length of piece to be heated, resulting in
higher mill yield.

Rolling Mill
The Rolling Mill comprises a roughing mill, a intermediate mill , & three
finishing mill for producing various sizes. TMT machine for producing TMT
quality bars, cooling bed for maintain the uniform quality.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF COAL GASIFIER – PRODUCER


GAS

The Single Stage Gasifier is required for industries where the production is
based on mechanism with hot gas. The Gasifier is equipped with a mono-
bucket coal lifting crane and bunker. The coal feeder is dual roller coal feeder
and the wet revolving ash-pan drive is used to take the ash out of the Gasifier.
The system of coal gasification is simply incomplete oxidation of carbon in the
coal to produce mixture of gases mainly carbon mono oxide and methane.
These gases are taken to the combustion in re- furnace to produce heat on
complete oxidation.
The coal is feed from above and a mixture of steam and air is charged from
below. The resulting gas generated is tapped from above.
Coal gas is produced by the reaction of gasification agent, which is mixture of
steam and air, which goes through red - hot fixed burning bed of the carbon in
form of coal.
The oxygen content in the air and steam react with the carbon in the fuel,
generating the coal gas.

Equipment

Screening arrangement will be incorporated to screen our fines (-8mmsize) from


the calibrated ore. Screening of -8mm fines will be done to separate -1mm &
+1mm to -8mm fines. The float ore contains lot of quartzite,
BHQ and other gangue material. The ore from the mine has about 50% fines
which will be also screened here to -1mm & +1mm to -8mm sizes.

The undersize & fines are sent to fine master where by the help of cyclones
washed fines of -1mm separated by screen. Below – 50 micron is pumped to
Thickener and dozing of flocculants helps to clear the water for reuse.

At all the transfer point of conveyor belt water sprinkling in adequate quantity
will be done. The hopper where fines / ROM is fed is also provided with
sprinkler to prevent dust dispersion.

The calibrated iron ore & fines will be sold in the local marked. The -50 micron
fraction containing gangue material shall be pressure filtered for squeezing
water and used for brick making and sold to cement plants.

CHAPTER-9

Analysis of proposal

(Final Recommendations)

9.1 Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefits to
the local people including tribal population

The proposed project will result in improvement of infrastructure as well as


upliftment of social structure in the area. The people residing in the nearby
areas will be benefited directly and indirectly. It is anticipated that the
proposed plant will provide benefits for the local people in two phases i.e.
during construction phase as well as during operational stage of the plant.

1. Construction Phase

Employment

The major benefit due to the proposed project will be in the sphere of
generating employment for people of that area. The proposed project will
benefit local population.

2. Operational Phase

Community Services

ESAPL will employ local people to the extent possible for avoiding
creation of additional infrastructure. ESAPL will develop medical facilities
for catering to the needs of the project personnel. These facilities will also
be extended to the local community in due course.

3. Education

ESAPL will initiate action for social upliftment in the area like female
education, vocational training. Financial support will also be extended to
strength education infrastructure in the region.
93
EARTHSTAHL & ALLOYS PVT. LTD.

4. Employment

The manpower requirements for the operational phase of the Ferro Alloys Plant,
Induction Furnace, Rolling Mill along with Coal gasifier and Iron Ore Washing
Plant will be about 188 people. In addition, there will be an indirect
employment for skilled/ semi skilled people during project life. All attempts will
be made to employ suitable, locally available, skilled personnel from the nearby
area. In case of non-availability of skilled persons, people will be employed from
outside area.

5. Transportation

There will also be small increase in the vehicular traffic due to passenger
transport. This increase in traffic will not have any consequence to warrant
special mention. One should expect that the increased passenger load in the
sector would prompt the state government/ private movers to start new and
frequent public transport services to this area, bringing upliftment to the whole
locality.

6. Other Benefits

ESAPL is equally conscious for the all round socio-economic development and
is committed to raise the quality of life and social well being of communities
where it operates..
