Sponge Iron Plants
|
| For the Sponge Iron manufacturing there are two main processes i.e Coal based and Gas based . In Coal based process noncoking is used as reductant in which is available plenty in India and can be established in smaller modules. As such coal based sponge Iron plants have come up now in large number. |

Captive Power Plants
|
| As the cost of power and also demand is increasing day by day, it is imperative to conserve energy. In a coal based sponge iron plant the waste gas generated will carry alot of sensible heat, which can be converted to useful electric power. Otherwise the gases which come out from kiln at 900-950 degree centigrade are to be cooled to below 200 degree centigrade for passing through ESP for the removal of dust before letting out through the chimney to the atmosphere. |

Pellatisation Plants
|
| In the nature iron ore exists in different forms mainly has a reaf/float in general the float ore willbe hard and will have tumbler index of above 80. This ore is directly suitable for sponge iron production through coal based route. |

Illeminate Reduction Plants(Tio2)
|
| Tio2 exists in combination with iron oxide and called as illeminate. Illeminate mostly available in beach sands in India. For the recovery of Tio2 (Synthetic Routile) the illeminate is to be first reduced (where iron oxide first reduces to metalic iron). The reduced illeminate further processed for separating the iron and Tio2. Ileminate being very fine in size is very difficult in handling for the reduction in the rotary kiln. |
