Facilities & Technology

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 $8.00 billion (Rs 40,000 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 2500 MW of power in phases.

In the first phase, the company is setting up 6.0 million TPA integrated steel plant at Angul along with 900 MW of captive power generation facility.

The Plant is proposed to be established on 5750 acres of land. The project will be utilizing about 93% barren land for setting up 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 gassification plants as reductant. The DRI-Gasification route is being used for the fist 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:

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.
• Work is in progress for the establishment of

• Coal Gasification Plant to produce 225,000 Nm3/hr Syn Gas

	Social Endeavours at Angul Focus on primary issues such as education & skill development, health, nutrition, employment generation. Schemes to improve infrastructure of existing schools OP Jindal Institute of Technology & Skills started since July 2007 Vocational training provided to school dropouts, existing workers and unemployed youth to improve their employability under Modular Employment Scheme E-education has been earmarked as a primary focus area. Aarambha, a non formal school, has been introduced to streamline education for school dropouts Mobile health clinic to provide basic health care services in adjoining villages Regular medical camps organized to benefit families of the region Deworming of livestock, vaccination camps and vitamin supplementary schemes initiated to improve nourishment of animals Electrification programmes carried out at village Nisa & village Bada Mahitala Community development programmes like infrastructure development and drinking water facilities such as deep bore well and pumps undertaken

Environment Protection Measures

JSPL is very much concerned at the anticipated environment impact and therefore has 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.
