Outotec to Supply Emission Optimized Sintering for Indian Project
05/16/2012 - Outotec has been selected by Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd. to design and deliver technology, including its Emission Optimized Sintering process, for a new iron ore sintering plant to be built in Rengali in the state of Orissa, India.
Outotec has been selected by the Indian Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd. (BPSL) to design and deliver technology for a new iron ore sintering plant to be built in Rengali in the state of Orissa. The contract value is approximately EUR 20 million.
The scope of Outotec's delivery includes technology, engineering, and supplying proprietary equipment and supervisory services for a new sintering facility, which will include Outotec's Emission Optimized Sintering (EOS) process. Due to a partial gas recirculation system, the process reduces overall emissions and saves energy by post-combusting the recirculated combustibles such as CO, while retaining high-quality sinter properties, the company explained.
The sintering facility is expected to annually produce 2.45 million tonnes of iron ore sinter, which is used as raw material in steel production. The project is anticipated to last approximately 30 months.
"In today's global steel industry and even in the very price-sensitive Indian market, it is not just about competitive initial investment pricing that wins contracts, but offering energy-efficient technologies leading to lower operational costs. We are confident that our EOS technology, which provides a substantial reduction in coke consumption and lower CO2 and dust emissions, is a sustainable solution for the future," said Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
