Expanding its reach in the domestic market, JSPL has gone ahead to
make considerable investments in various parts of Odisha. The company
would be investing US $10.00 billion (Rs 50,000 Crore) in the state for
steel production and power generation. The proposed steel plant to be
set up in Odisha will produce 12.5 MTPA steel in phases and generate
2600 MW of power in phases.
In the first phase, the company is setting up a 6.0 million TPA
integrated steel plant at Angul along with a 810 MW of captive power
generation facility.
The Project is in a fast-track mode, with
the Platemill and two units of Power Plant already commissioned, and
the other units nearing completion. The Platemill is capable of
producing a 5 m wide plate, and this would be the widest plate ever
produced in the country.
The Plant is proposed to be established on 5750 acres of land. The
project will be utilizing about 93% barren land for setting up of plant
facilities. In the second phase, we propose to set up another 6.5
million TPA steel plant and a 1600 MW power generation facility.
Technology
The DRI-BF-EAF route technology would be adopted for steel production.
The DRI plant has a unique feature of using
Syn Gas from the coal gasification plants as reductant.
The
DRI-Gasification route is being used for the first time in the world
and has the advantage of using high ash coal which is predominantly
available in the vicinity of the project site. JSPL has signed
an agreement with Lurgi Sasol Technology Company, South Africa, for
providing technology for coal gasification.
The major facilities at the plant include:
- Coal Washery
- Sinter plant
- Pellet Plant
- Coke oven & by-product plant
- Coal gasification plant
- DRI plant & blast furnace
- Steel melting shop
- Slab caster
- Plate mill & hot strip mill
- Oxygen plant
- Lime & dolomite plant
- Power plant
Project Highlights
- The proposed Coal Gasification Technology to be used in this
plant offers a practical means of utilizing coal for meeting stringent
environmental control requirements.
- JSPL
Angul has partnered with several companies of international repute for
the purpose of Technology Supply and Key Equipment, Detailed
Engineering, Procurement of other Equipment, Construction Phase,
Manpower Supply and Project Management Services. More than 350
companies, ranging from the biggest International Players to the
regional vendors are partners in our endeavor
- Work is in progress for the establishment of
- Coal Gasification Plant to produce 225,000 Nm3/hr Syn. Gas
- DRI plant of 4.5 million TPA
- 5 m wide Plate Mill of 1.5 MTPA
- 6x135 MW Power plant
- Promotion of small-scale industries in and around Angul by giving
adequate support with respect to land, power etc and buying most of
their products for their end-use in the plant (like aggregates, bricks
etc.)
Environment Protection Measures
JSPL is very much concerned about the impact on environment and has
therefore taken adequate measures and adopted the best pollution
control norms available in the world. One of the major steps taken
towards protecting the environment and reducing soil degradation is the
usage of fly ash bricks in place of conventionally used red bricks in
all construction activities at the project sites.
