Coke Oven

The plant has two Coke Ovens namely COB 11 and COB 10 and. The newly commissioned COB 11 is 7 metre tall, has 74 ovens, a coke dry cooling plant and a matching by-product plant. The plant uses dry cooling technology using inert gases, instead of the conventional water quenching to produce 0.88 MT of Gross Coke per annum of the best quality. Coke Oven Battery No 10 has a height of 4.5 meter with 78 ovens. It has the capacity of 17.2 tons of Coal pushing per day.

Sinter Plant

Two sinter machines with a grate area of 204 metre square produce super-fluxed sinter. Sinter usage avoids addition of raw flux in Blast Furnace thus resulting in improvement in energy efficiency and productivity.

Blast Furnace

With a useful volume of 4,160 metre cube the Blast Furnace “Kalyani” is one of largest Blast Furnace in the country. It uses high blast temperature, oxygen enrichment, high top pressure and pulverized coal injection technology to increase productivity.

Basic Oxygen Furnace

ISP has three 150-tonne capacity Basic Oxygen Furnaces which produce around 2.55 MT of liquid steel. Equipped with features like combined blowing, fully computerized operation it can use scrap, iron ore and DRI as coolant to eliminate waste and enable recycling.

Billet Caster & Beam Blank-cum-Bloom Caster

Two 6-strand billet casters and one 4-strand bloom-cum-beam blank caster are used for casting the liquid steel. The use of beam blanks in Universal Section Mill leads to considerable improvement in overall yield and energy consumption.

Rolling Mills

One Bar Mill and one Wire Rod Mill for produce 0.75 MT of high quality bars and 0.5 MT of wire rods per year. The Universal Section Mill produces 0.6 MT of universal section products per year.

Advance logistics

The plant is provided with latest version of IP-communication server-based telephone exchange to provide state-of-art communication infrastructure. Mimic control systems for hot metal movement on railway track ensure uninterrupted flow of material.
