2 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of the Project and Project Proponent

M/s Amba Shakti Ispat Ltd is an existing secondary steel processing industry located at Plot

no. 6 & 6A, Industrial area phase 2, Kala Amb, Tehsil - Nahan, District-Sirmaur, State-

Himachal Pradesh. The existing plant has molten metal capacity of 28800 MT/Annum

produced through induction furnaces of 2X6MT/heat using 107 MT/day (32100

MT/Annum) of MS scrap/sponge iron as basic raw materials. It produces 28500

MT/Annum of continuously cast billets. Further it has 45000 MT/Annum rolling

production capacity of bars, TMT and other rolled section using additionally 17400

MT/Annum quantities of billets directly purchased from the market.

The proponent plans to enhance the production capacity of the plant due to huge demand

of rolled merchant products. The project proponent is planning for capacity expansion and

augmentation. In this process, the industrial unit will increase its molten metal generation

capacity, by increasing melting capacity from 2X6MT/heat to 3X15MT/heat (using multiple

induction furnaces), augmentation of continuous casting machine (CCM), and enhancing re-

rolling mill capacity. With the proposed expansion, the production capacity of the industrial

unit will increase from 27600MT/ Annum (i.e. 92 MT/day) to 156300 MT/Annum (i.e.521

MT/day) necessitating increased quantity of raw materials such as scrap/sponge iron to

173100 MT/Annum (577 MT/day. In the expansion stage the Billets from the market will

not be needed and the Reheating furnace will be obviated and ultimately dismantled.

5.0 Project cost The estimated cost of the proposed Project isapproximately Rs. 24.5 Crore.

2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project

M/s Amba Shakti Ispat Ltd is an existing secondary steel processing industry. It plans to

enhance production capacity up to 521 MTD (rolled steel sections) by using induction

of 33

furnaces having aggregate capacity of 45 MT/heat (Multiple IFs) at plot no 6 & 6A,

industrial area phase 2, Kala Amb, Tehsil Nahan, District Sirmaur, State Himachal

Pradesh. The industrial unit will increase its molten metal generation capacity, by

increasing melting capacity from 2X6MT/heat to 3X15MT/heat (using multiple induction

furnaces), augmentation of continuous casting machine (CCM), and enhancing re-rolling

mill capacity. With the proposed expansion, the production capacity of the industrial unit

will increase from 27600 MT/ Annum(i.e. 92 MT/day) to 156300 MT/Annum (i.e. 521

MT/day) necessitating increased quantity of raw materials such as scrap/sponge iron to

173100 MT/Annum (577 MT/day). Molten steel produced in Induction furnaces is

directly cast in continuous casting machine into billets and these billets are rolled directly

in the rolling mill. The billets being purchased from the market presently and were first

heated in reheating furnaces and then rolled in the rolling mill are no longer required in

augmentation and thereby eliminates the Reheating furnace which so far been requiring

additional fuel. This will provide both economic and environmental advantage.

2.3 Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country and/or Region

India is the world’s third-largest producer of crude steel (up from eighth in 2003) and is

expected to become the second-largest producer in the near future. The growth in the

Indian steel sector has been driven by domestic availability of raw materials such as iron

ore, production of DRI/sponge iron, availability of steel scrap and cost-effective labour.

Consequently, the steel sector has remained a major contributor to India’s manufacturing

output.

The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always

strived for continuous modernization and up-gradation of older plants and higher energy

efficiency levels. Along with the public sector, the private sector is also considered to be the

engine of growth in the steel industry. The technological changes and modernization are

taking place in both the public sector integrated steel plants and the private sectors’

secondary steel processing industries.

of 33

2.4 Demand –Supply Gap

Steel production of India accounted for 14.33 million tons in 1990-91, which gradually

increased to 36.12 million tons in 2003-04. Rapid rise in production has resulted in India

becoming the 3rd largest producer of crude steel in 2016. The country continues to be the

amongst the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world. As per the report of the

Working Group on Steel for the 12th Five Year Plan, there are many factors exists which

carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in the country. These include

among others, an estimated infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a

projected growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban

population to 700 million by 2030 from the current level of 400 million, emergence of the

rural market for steel currently consuming around 10 kg per capita per annum. At the time

of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production to reach 110

Million Metric Tonnes (MMT) by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the

current ongoing projects, both in greenfield and brownfield, the Working Group on Steel

for the 12th Five Year Plan has projected that domestic crude steel capacity in the county is

likely to be 140 MT by 2016-17 and has the potential to reach 149 MT if all requirements

are adequately met. The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in

mind the rapid developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and

demand sides) as well as the stable growth of the Indian economy since the release of the

Policy in 2005. India is expected to become the world's second largest producer of crude

steel in the next 10 years, moving up from the third position, as its capacity is projected to

increase to about 300 MT by 2025. Huge scope for growth is offered by India’s

comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise in consumption due

to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors.

2.5 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) Due to Project

Total manpower of the proposed project would be around 150 from the present 110

persons. The details are given below-

3.5 Project Description with Process Details

The industrial unit is planning for capacity expansion/augmentation of integrating melting

and rolling facility and also increasing overall production capacity. Firstly the preparation

of stored scrap would be carried out with sized, classified and accordingly stocked, sent to

the induction furnace shell with the help of overhead traveling crane. The casting shop

includes one 2-strands continuous machine where the casting of the billets would be done.

After reaching the desired quality, composition and temperature in the induction furnace,

molten steel is taken to the casting platform with the help of casting crane, on to the casting

machine, capable to cast square billets from 100 to 165 mm.

In caster the sliding gate is opened and liquid steel starts flowing into 2-strands tundish,

located on tundish car, through the tundish nozzles into caster moulds where liquid steel

start to solidify by indirect cooling of re-circulating water. The steel billet is then

completely solidified by water jets through the strand. After straightening in the

withdrawal roller mechanism, the produced billets are cut into desired lengths.

of 33

A laboratory, equipped with a sample preparation equipment, spectrometer analyzer is

incorporated to check the conformity of products with the chemical composition and

quality standards required.

Water is treated in the water treatment facilities and used as the makeup water. The

industrial cooling water is cleaned, cooled and re-used in the water facilities. A de-dusting

plant, equipped with high temperature bag filters is provided to capture the dust content of

furnace exit gas. The process diagram is shown as below :

Figure 3.5: Showing the process of rolled product

3.6 Source of Pollution and its Control

A) Air pollution and its control

of 33

The flue gases generated during melting of scrap/sponge iron and production of steel in

induction furnaces, Dust generation in the crushing of slag for metal in the slag metal

extraction unit and Emission of combustion products from the DG set are the major source

of air pollution.

In the induction furnaces the quality and quantity of flue gases mainly depends upon type

of scrap used in furnace, i.e. degree of contamination in the scrap. These flue gases need

proper treatment for removal of dust particles before being discharged into the

atmosphere. Major pollutants generated in the process will be suspended dust particulates

(PM10, PM2.5, Heavy metals like As, Cr, Pb, Cd, Zn & Mn), Carbon Dioxide, Carbon

Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide (traces), Oxides of Nitrogen (in low concentration, depending

on the temp of the process). Currently the Air Pollution Control Device (APCD) unit with

bag filters has been installed at the facility. The capacity of APCD and system design

including hood/canopy design will be so chosen in the proposed expansion so as to control

the emissions within permissible limit before letting it-out through stack.

The dust control in the Slag Metal Extraction unit will be designed with proper hoods and

the dust laden air will be led to and cleaned in wet scrubber before releasing to

atmosphere. Where ever possible dust suppression will be resorted to by sprinkling of

water.

Discharge of emission of gases from the DG set will be done at a height above the nearby

building as per CPCB norms.

B) Hazardous Waste Management

A total of 49 MT/Day slag would be generated. Out of this the disposable slag waste would

be 46 MT/Day. This crushed slag will be given for road making as slag sand or will be used

for filling low lying areas. The dust from furnaces collected through Bag filters to the extent

of 1 MT/Day will be transported as hazardous waste to TSDF. 3 MT/Day of recovered metal

will be reused and recycled in the Induction furnaces production process.

C) Water pollution and its control

Water is mostly used for cooling of coils in induction furnace , In indirect cooling for

skin formation and direct intensive jet sprays for thorough solidification of casts

of 33

billets in continuous casting shop. The circulating water will be cooled in cooling

towers. Cooling tower blow down, water with dust from wet scrubber from Slag Metal

Extraction Unit will be collected in a common tank. This will either be dried and the

dried component sent to TSDF or on concentration the sludge water will be

transferred to CETP.

D) Green Belt

The existing plant units are provided with a Green belt which would be further developed

as per CPCB guidelines. Plants of various species tolerant to various types of air pollutants

will be planted in the peripheral areas of the project site and along the roads within the

plant premises.

3.7 Selection Criteria of plant species for Green Development Plant

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as

climate, elevation and soil. Area falls under the tropical region and thus the plants that area

adapted to this condition should be selected. The plant should exhibit following

characteristics in order to be selected for plantation.

1. The species should be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability.

2. The species should be wind firm and deep rooted

3. The species should form a dense canopy.

4. As far as possible, the species will be locally available

5. Species tolerances to air pollutants like PM, SO2, and NOx should be preferred.

6. The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing within

the belt.

7. There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through.

8. Tree with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the

surface.

9. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.

10.Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing, rapidly decomposable leaf litter).

11.Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing.

12.Bird and insect attracting tree spacing.

and are a part of Shivalik ranges. The district by and large is also climatically suitable for

growth of temperate fruits.

Climate:

The climate of the district is sub-tropical in the valley and tends to be temperate on the

hilltops. There are four major seasons. The winter season commences from November to

February and ends in March; summer season extends from March to June, followed by the

monsoon period extending from July to September. Maximum precipitation occurs during

July to September. Average annual rainfall in the district is about 1413.12 mm, out of

which 85% rainfall occurs during July to September. In the winter season, precipitation as

snowfall also occurs in the higher reaches up to 1000 m elevation and as rainfall in low hills

and valleys of the district. Mean maximum and minimum temperature ranges between

34°C (May) and 0.6°C (January).

Geology:

The state of Himachal Pradesh is covered by the rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to

Recent. The normal order of super-position of the rocks in the Lesser Himalaya has been

affected by later events of thrusting. Owing to its complex tectonism and geological

evolution, establishing an unanimously-accepted geology and stratigraphy of Himalaya

remained mired with debate and controversy- posing a natural deterrent.
