Steel Authority of India Lmited’s Rourkela Steel Plant is planning to increase its annual hot metal production capacity from the current level of 4.5 million tonnes to 4.855 million tonne, crude steel production from 4.2 million tonnes to 4.85 million tonnes and saleable steel production from 3.880 million tonnes to 4.325 million tonnes. The new units that have been planned as part of the project are a coke oven battery, a steel melting shop, oxygen plant and adoption of technological measures for enhancing capacity of the existing blast furnacesA proposed normalising furnace with 0.3 million tonnes capacity will also be installed inside the new plate mill to cater to niche market segments.The RSP is planning to utilise natural gas in various units and it has planned a pipeline network, which will minimize the use of fossil fuels like coal and make the steel-making process cleaner and greener.The proposed projects are designed with state-of-the-art environment-friendly technologies based on the concept of zero discharge. Different types of air pollution control systems will be installed to minimise the air pollution and no cutting of trees will be required.
