Sponge Iron Units – Guidelines / Code of practice for Pollution prevention for Sponge Iron Plants (CPCB)
Air Pollution
Stack Emission from Kiln
i)
Adequately designed ESP or any other adequate air pollution control
system/combination of system should be installed to achieve the
prescribed stack emission standards
As
installation and operation of Pollution Control Equipment for plants
with less than 100 TPD capacity is not economically viable, therefore,
it is recommended that plants with less than 100 TPD shall not be
permitted in future.
Program for phasing out old plants having capacity less than 100 TPD shall be worked out by the State Pollution Control Board.
ii)
All Pollution control equipment should be provided with separate
electricity meter and totaliser for continuous recording of power
consumption. The amperage of the ID fan should also be recorded
continuously. Non-functioning of Pollution control equipment should be
recorded in the same logbook along with reasons for not running the
Pollution Control Equipment.
iii)
The safety cap/emergency stack of rotary kiln type plant, which is
generally installed above the After Burner Chamber (ABC) of feed end
column should not be used for discharging untreated emission, bypassing
the air pollution control device.
iv)
In order to prevent bypassing of emissions through safety cap and
non-operation of ESP or any other pollution control device, software
controlled interlocking facility should be provided on the basis of real
time data from the plant control system, to ensure stoppage of feed
conveyor, so that, feed to the kiln would stop automatically, if safety
cap of the rotary kiln is opened or ESP is not in operation. The system
should be able to take care of multiple operating parameters and their
inter relations to prevent any possibility of defeating the basic
objective of the interlock. The system should be foolproof to prevent
any kind of tempering. The software based interlocking system, proposed
to be installed by industry should be get approved by the concerned
State Pollution Control Board, for its adequacy, before installation by
the industry.
v)
Mechanical operated system for timely collection and removal of the
flue dust generated in ESP or any other pollution control device shall
be installed.
Stack Emission from de-dusting units
All
de-dusting units should be connected to a stack having a minimum stack
height of 30 m. Sampling porthole and platform etc. shall be provided as
per CPCB emission regulation to facilitate stack monitoring. De-dusting
units can also be connected to ABC Chamber and finally emitted through
common stack with kiln off-gas emissions.
Fugitive Emission
The
measurement may be done, preferably on 8-hour basis with high volume
sampler. However, depending upon the prevalent conditions at the site,
the period of measurement can be reduced.
Effluent Discharge
All efforts should be made to reuse and re-circulate the water and to maintain zero effluent discharge.
Storm water / garland drain should be provided in the plant.
Noise Control
The industry should take measures to
control the Noise Pollution so that the noise level standards already
notified for Industrial area are complied.
Solid Waste Management
Char
Char should be mixed with coal or coal washery rejects and used
as fuel in Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers (FBC) for generation of
power. The plants having capacity 200 TPD and above should install
Fluidized Bed Combustion Boilers (FBC) for generation of power. Also the
smaller capacity individual Sponge Iron Plants (Capacity upto 100 TPD)
and operating in cluster can collectively install common Fluidized Bed
Combustion Boilers (FBC) for power generation. The Sponge Iron Plant are
free to explore other options / possibilities to use char for
generation of power. Char can be sold to local entrepreneurs for making
coal briquettes. It can also be mixed with coal fines, converted to
briquettes and used in brick kilns.
Under no
circumstances char should be disposed off in agricultural fields/other
areas. Logbook for daily record, of Char production and usage must be
maintained by the industry and the record shall be made available to
officials of CPCB/SPCB/PCC during inspection.
Kiln Accretions
The kiln accretions are heavy solid lumps and can be used as
sub- base material for road construction or landfill, after ascertaining
the composition for its suitability and ensuring that it should not
have any adverse environmental impact.
Gas Cleaning Plant (GCP)/Scrubber Sludge
The sludge should be compacted and suitably disposed off after
ascertaining the composition for its suitability and ensuring that it
should not have any adverse environmental impact.
Flue Dust / Fly ash
Flue dust is generated from air pollution control system i.e.
ESP or any other air pollution control system installed with kiln.
Secondary flue dust is also generated from Bag Filters or any other air
pollution control equipment installed with Raw Material Handling, Coal
Crusher, Cooler Discharge and Product house unit. The reuse/ recycling
of the flue dust generated / collected may be explored and suitably
implemented.
Fly ash brick
manufacturing plant should be install for fly ash utilization. Fly ash
can be utilized in cement making by Cement industry also.
Bottom Ash
Bottom ash may have objectionable metallic compounds, therefore
should be stored in properly designed landfills as per CPCB guidelines
to prevent leaching to the sub-soil and underground aquifer.
General
Solid waste management program should be prepared with thrust
on reuse and recycling. Solid waste disposal site should be earmarked
within the plant premises. The storage site of solid waste should be
scientifically designed keeping in view that the storage of solid waste
should not have any adverse impact on the air quality or water regime,
in any way.
The various types of
solid wastes generated should be stored separately as per CPCB
guidelines so that it should not adversely affect the air quality,
becoming air borne by wind or water regime during rainy season by
flowing along with the storm water.
Raw Material handling and Preparation
i) Unloading
of coal by trucks or wagons should be carried out with proper care
avoiding dropping of the materials from height. It is advisable to moist
the material by sprinkling water while unloading.
ii) Crushing
and screening operation should be carried out in enclosed area.
Centralized de- dusting facility (collection hood and suction
arrangements followed by de-dusting unit like bag filter or ESP or
equally effective method or wet scrubber and finally discharge of
emission through a stack) should be provided to control Fugitive
Particulate Matter Emissions. The stack should confirm to the emission
standards notified for de-dusting units. Water sprinkling arrangement
should be provided at raw material heaps and on land around the crushing
and screening units.
iii) Work area including the roads surrounding the plant shall be asphalted or concreted.
iv) Enclosure should be provided for belt conveyors and transfer points of belt conveyors.
The above enclosures shall be rigid and permanent (and not of flexible/
cloth type enclosures) and fitted with self- closing doors and close
fitting entrances and exits, where conveyors pass through the
enclosures. Flexible covers shall be installed at entry and exit of the
conveyor to the enclosures, minimizing the gaps around the conveyors.In
the wet system, water sprays/ sprinklers shall be provided at the
following strategic locations for dust suppression during raw material
transfer:
– Belt conveyor discharge/ transfer point
– Crusher/screen discharge locations
Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB)
Sponge Iron Plants of capacity more than 100 TPD kilns shall use Waste Heat Recovery
Boiler (WHRB) for generation of power.
Cooler Discharge and Product Separation
Unit
Permanent and rigid enclosures shall be provided for belt conveyors and transfer
points of belt conveyors. Dust extraction cum control system preferably bag filters
or ESP to arrest product loss in cooler discharge and product separation area shall
be installed.
Char based Power Plant
For plant having capacity of 200 TPD of cumulative kiln capacity, the power production
through FBC boiler using char as a part of fuel, is a viable option. Power generation
through FBC boiler using char as a part of fuel be implemented in a phased manner
within 4 years of commissioning and targeting for 100% utilization of char.
Individual Sponge Iron Plants of capacity upto 100 TPD and located in cluster can
install a common char based power plant collectively.
New Sponge Iron Plants
i) No New Sponge Iron Plant will be commissioned without
installation of Pollution control systems as stipulated in the Standards. The concerned
State Pollution Control Board will accord consent to operate only after Physical
verification of the adequacy of the Installed pollution control systems for meeting
the standards and stipulated conditions in the consent to establish.
ii) All new kilns shall have the independent stack with the
kiln or multi-flue stacks in case two or more kilns are joining the same stack for
better dispersion of pollutants.
iii) Any entrepreneur having more than 2×100 TPD kiln may
install WHRB for power generation, as it’s a techno-economic viable option. For
plants having capacity of 200 TPD or more, power generation using char in FBC Boiler
as part of fuel is techno-economic viable option, therefore, new plants must install
FBC boiler for power generation at the time of installation of the industry.
iv) Any new sponge iron plant being installed along with
the other downstream facilities of converting the sponge iron into steel with/without
further processing the steel should meet the target of 100% utilization of sensible
heat of DR (Direct Reduction) Gas and Char for power generation. Wet scrubbing system
for kiln off-gas treatment for such plants should not be opted.
General Guidelines
i) Extensive plantation/Green belt shall be developed along
the roads and boundary line of the industry. A minimum 15 m width Green Belt along
the boundary shall be maintained. However, the green belt may be designed scientifically
depending upon the requirement and local and mix species of plants may be selected
for the green belt.
ii) Monitoring of stack emissions, fugitive emissions, trade
effluent and noise level shall be done as per CPCB regulations.
iii) Pollution control systems shall be operated as an integral
part of production to ensure minimum emissions. Pollution Control System shall
start before conveyor operation/operation of plant. Similarly pollution control
system shall be stopped only after completion of conveyor operation/operation of
plant so that possibility of dust settlement in ducts can be eliminated. Continuous
evacuation of dust (from Dust catchers, ESPs, Bag filter hopper etc.) shall be organized.
Siting Guideline for Sponge Iron Plants
Siting of new sponge iron plants shall be as per respective State Pollution
Control Board guidelines. However the following aspects shall also be considered:
i) Residential habitation (residential localities/ village)
and ecologically and/or otherwise sensitive areas: A minimum distance of at least
1000 m (1.0 km) to be maintained.
ii) The location of Sponge Iron Plant should be at least
500 m away from National Highway and State Highway .
