Sustainability

Jindal Steel & Power Limited is deeply concerned with maintaining a clean and green environment in & around its plants. Air pollution is one of the major challenges that any company has to overcome in order to adhere to environmental norms. Keeping this in mind, JSPL follows a procedure of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) for the prevention of Air Pollution. Every aspect of pollution generated due to plant activities is monitored in detail and adequate steps are taken to minimize it. The company has installed the latest technical devices suitable for the purpose of reducing atmospheric pollution. Functionalities of these devices are in turn, checked by Opacity Meters. The levels of pollutants in Flue Gas and Ambient Air are continuously monitored through automated devices such as Opacity Meters and Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations (AAQMS).

Some of the air pollution measures facilities (unit wise) available at JSPL are as follows:

• Coke Oven Plant:  Waste gases are burnt completely and the heat generated is used in Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB) for power generation.
• Sinter Plant: Centralized de-dusting system with an Electrostatic Precipitator is installed for dust control in raw material handling area. High capacity ESP also exists to control process emissions.
• Blast Furnace: Blast furnace is cleaned through cyclone and two-stage venturi scrubber (Gas Cleaning Plant).  Pulse jet and invertible bag filters have been installed for controlling the emission from stock house and junction points.
• SMS (EAF & Ladle Furnace): The gases are sucked through Fume Extraction System and taken to After Combustion Chamber for converting CO to CO². Thereafter the gases are passed through cooling system, forced draft cooler, spark arrester to control coarse dust and subsequently through high efficiency bag filters to separate particulates.
• DRI Kilns:  Dust Settling Chambers and ESPs (Electrostatic Precipitators) have been installed to control process emissions. Fugitive dust is controlled through multiple point suction hoods attached to bag filters.
• Power Plant: The flue gas from boilers is passed through ESP’s and discharged through stack.
• SAF: The emissions from furnace are drawn in to high capacity dust extraction system, where the particulates are trapped and treated gas is passed through chimney.
• Other fugitive emissions: The fugitive emissions caused through non-process activities such as haul roads and stockyards are managed through good housekeeping practices and regular dust suppression through water sprinkling.
