COKE OVENSThe Coke Oven Complex at Bokaro
supplies high quality coke to the
Blast Furnaces. The process of cokemaking consists of the destructivedistillation of coal in the absence ofair. The coal is heated in a closedchamber there by driving out thevolatile components present in coaland leave behind the residue calledcoke. This phenomenon is called asthe carbonization of coal can becarried out at differenttemperature depending upon the
type of coke we need. Carbonizationtemperature is 1200-1300C which isthe optimum temperature to getcoke of uniform size for the givencoal inputs at BSL, there are 8Batteries of 69 Ovens each(including one standby battery) with4.7 m height and useful coke

SINTER PLANT
Sintering is the process whereincipient fusion takes place bycombustion of Coke within movingbed of loosely packed fines of mainlyIron Ore, Coke & Flux so as toglomerate into a compact porousmass called SINTER.
Sintering plant at Bokaro is unique inmany respects. It has a very highsintering area per machine.It has 3 identical sinter machines in
the same building with 3 separateinterchangeable conveyors tracksavailable to feed them. Moreover
there is a provision of storing 5000tonnes of sinter at plant itself apartfrom storage of 5000 tonnes ofsinter in Blast Furnace Bunkers.
The set up of Sinteringplant at Bokarocomprises of threemain sections:-
a) Raw material sectionb) Stock bins &
Proportioning section
c) Sinter machinebuilding section

BLAST FURNACE
The aim of Blast furnace is
to produce pig iron from oreand sinter, i.e. iron bearingmaterials. The products ofthe furnace are the pig iron(hot metal) slag and blastfurnace gas.
In Bokaro there are five blastfurnace of 2640T/day capacityeach having a working volume of
2000M3. 5 Furnaces of 2000 cubicmeter useful volume. All furnaceshave Bell-less Top charging
System for continuous charging &better distribution of charge.
Coal Dust Injection in FurnaceNo.4 and 5 and CHSGP in Furnace # 4 &
5. The Capacity of B F 4.585 MTof Hot Metal per annum.

Steel Melting Shop-IIThere are two Converters in the Shop each of 300
hundred Ton Capacity. SMS II differs withSMS-I mainly because of blowing process and gasrecovery system. Unlike SMS-I, SMS-II have gotsuppressed combustion system, where
atmospheric air is not allowed to enter in the hoodarea and the combustion of converter gas issuppressed. Capacity of SMS-II is 2.25 MT ofliquid Steel. At present, mainly Killed steels are
produced in the shop.

Slabbing MillSlabbing mill transforms ingots into slab by rolling. The ingots of various sizes
and weights are received from SMS I and after being rolled into slabs,
they are sent to our internal customer HSM.The capacity of the mill is 4 MT and is of universal type, capable of rolling
ingots up to 38 tons. The rolling rate varies from 600 to 800 T/Hrsdepending upon the size of the ingots and the thickness of the slab to berolled.
The mill was commissioned on 30th December 1974. We have 12 groups of
Soaking pits with each group having 4 pits : Total 48 pits wherein ingotsare heated to a temperature above 1300C.SECTIONSSlabbing mill complex has been divided into four main sections. They are :a) Ingot Storage Yardb) Soaking Pit
c) Mill Properd) Slab Storage Yard

Hot Strip MillThe Hot Strip Mill at Bokaro Steel Plant is a continuous 2,000
mm wide strip mill. It is referred to as a 2,000 mm millbecause the barrel length of the rolls used in this mill is2,000 mm. This mill is designed to roll thin and wide stripsfor use in various industries such as wagon building, tubeand pipe industry, drum manufacturing, furnituremanufacturing and lastly, for use in the Cold Rolling Mill.
The fully automatic Hot Strip Mill of Bokaro Steel has a widerange of products. This is the only continuous Hot Strip Millin India.

Future of Bokaro SteelPlantThe future looks promising for the industry as BSL
is aiming to increase production of steel from 4.3to 7 Mt tones within a span of 2 years. With myown experiences and with all the modernizationgoing on its true that the target will be surpassed
much before that.Also the Plant is a place full of job opportunities for
us aspiring engineers to come here and leave amark here, to work hard and learn.
