Central Chronicle News
Bhilai, Jun 25: Drawing strength and inspiration from continuous guidance and support from Anirban Dasgupta, Director I/c BSP and Anjani Kumar, ED (Works), the collective of SAIL-Bhilai Steel Plant’s Sinter Plant 3 (SP-III) took another step towards self-reliance by restarting Nut Coke Complex at SP 3.
The nut coke supplied by Sinter Plant-3 will be used in Blast Furnaces, increasing the net availability of coke at Blast Furnaces and will reduce the dependence of Blast Furnace on metallurgical coke. Nut coke is used as a direct substitute of metallurgical coke and its use in Blast Furnace has a favorable impact on techno-economics, resulting in considerable cost saving for BSP.
SP-3 collective under the able guidance of SV Nandanwar, CGM (SP-3) took up this challenging project of restarting this nut coke complex in a short span of one week.
Disc Feeders in Nut Coke Area were made operational by installing the motors and re-visioning the Gear Boxes. Repair of Nut Coke to S114 Conveyor Chute was completed. Besides, lighting arrangement of surrounding area was completed.
This project was restarted on June 24, 2021 at SP-3 by Anirban Dasgupta, Director I/c BSP in the presence of Anjani Kumar, ED (Works), SN Abidi CGM I/c (Services), Arvind Kumar CGM I/c (M&U), AK Tiwari CGM (Traffic), SK Kataria CGM (Mech), GA Rao, CGM (CO & CCD), Tapas Dasgupta, CGM (Blast Furnace), SV Nandanwar, CGM (SP-3) and senior officials of the Plant.
The successful implementation of this project in SP-III is another milestone in the journey of continuous innovation and improvement.
