About Bokaro Steel Pl ant

BOKARO STEEL PLANT

History
Bokaro Steel Plant - the fourth integrated plant in the Public Sector - started taking shape in 1965
in collaboration with the Soviet Union. It was originally
incorporated as a limited company on 29th January 1964, and
was later merged with SAIL, first as a susidiary and then as a
unit, through the Public Sector Iron & Steel Companies
(Restructuring & Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1978. The
construction work started on 6th April 1968. The Plant is
hailed as the countrys first Swadeshi steel plant, built with
maximum indigenous content in terms of equipment, material
and know-how. Its first Blast Furnace started on 2nd October
1972 and the first phase of 1.7 MT ingot steel was completed
on 26th February 1978 with the commissioning of the third
Blast Furnace. All units of 4 MT stage have already been
commissioned and the 90s' modernization has further upgraded this to 4.5 MT of liquid steel.
The new features added in modernization of SMS-II include two twin-strand slab casters along
with a Steel Refining Unit. The Steel Refining Unit was inaugurated on 19th September, 1997
and the Continuous Casting Machine on 25th April, 1998. The modernization of the Hot Strip
Mill saw addition of new features like high pressure de-scalers, work roll bending, hydraulic
automatic gauge control, quick work roll change, laminar cooling etc. New walking beam
reheating furnaces are replacing the less efficient pusher type furnaces.
A new hydraulic coiler has been added and two of the
existing ones revamped. With the completion of Hot Strip
Mill modernisation, Bokaro is producing top quality hot
rolled products that are well accepted in the global market.
Bokaro is designed to produce flat products like Hot Rolled
Coils, Hot Rolled Plates, Hot Rolled Sheets, Cold Rolled
Coils, Cold Rolled Sheets, Tin Mill Black Plates (TMBP)
and Galvanised Plain and Corrugated (GP/GC) Sheets.
Bokaro has provided a strong raw material base for a
variety of modern engineering industries including automobile, pipe and tube, LPG cylinder,
barrel and drum producing industries.

Raw Materials & Material Handling Plant
The Raw Materials and Material Handling Plant receives, blends, stores and supplies different
raw materials to Blast Furnace, Sinter Plant and Refractory Materials Plant as per their
requirements. It also maintains a buffer stock to take care of any supply interruptions.
Some 9 MT of different raw materials viz. Iron ore fines and lumps, Limestone (BFand SMS
grade), Dolomite lumps and chips, hard Coal and Manganese ore are handled here every year.
Iron ore and fluxes are sourced from the captive mines of SAIL situated at Kiriburu,
Meghahataburu, Bhawanathpur, Tulsidamar and Kuteshwar. Washed coal is supplied from
different washeries at Dugda, Kathara, Kargali and Giddi, while raw coal is obtained from Jharia
coalfields.
Coke Ovens & By-product Plant
The Coke Oven Complex at Bokaro converts prime coking coal from Jharia, Dugda and
Moonidih and medium coking coal form Kargali, Kathara and Mahuda, blended with imported
coal, into high quality coke for the Blast Furnaces, recovering valuable by-products like
Anthracene Oil, Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, Light Solvent Naphtha, Ammonium Sulphate and
Extra-hard Pitch in the process. Bokaro is situated in the prime coal belt of the country.
The Coke Oven battery has 8 batteries with 69 ovens each, maintained meticulously in terms of
fugitive emission control, use of phenolic water and other pollution control measures.
Blast Furnaces
Bokaro has five 2000-cubic metre Blast Furnaces that produce molten iron - Hot Metal - for steel
making. Bell-less Top Charging, modernised double Cast Houses, Coal Dust Injection and Cast
House Slag Granulation technologies have been deployed in the furnaces. The process of iroin-
making is automated, using PLC Charging System and Computer Controlled Supervision
System. The wastes products like Blast Furnace slag and gas are either used directly within plant
or processed for recycling / re-use.
Steel Melting Shops
Hot Metal from the Blast Furnaces is converted into steel by blowing 99.5% pure Oxygen
through it in the LD converter. Suitable alloying elements are added to produce different grades
of steel.
Bokaro has two Steel Melting Shops - SMS-I and SMS-II. SMS-I has 5 LD converters of 130T
capacity each. It is capable of producing Rimming steel through the ingot route. SMS-II has 2
LD converters, each of 300 T capacity, with suppressed combustion system and Continuous
Casting facility. It produces various Killed and Semi-Killed steels.

Peripheral Development
Bokaro Steel is striving to reach the glow and warmth of its furnaces to people living at the
periphery of this thriving steel city. All villages and residential settlements within a radius of 20
kilometres are covered under the peripheral development programmes that benefit some 3 lakh
persons. In recent years, the stress has been on developing basic and infrastructure facilities like
roads, bridges, schools, primary healtch centres, wells, pumps etc. and renovating the existing
facilities.
Regular health camps are organised to reach immunisation and free medicines to people. Free
medicines are also supplied to Asha Dan, a hospital for the lepers, and to government hospitals in
the event of natural calamities.
Bokaro Steel pitched in with its share in the relief of victims of natural calamities like the Orissa
cyclone, Gujarat earthquake and Bihar floods.
For a number of years, Bokaro Steel has been sponsoring a First Aid camp during Shravani Mela
for the Kanwariyas walking with holy water from Sultanganj in Bihar to Deoghar in Jharkhand -
a holy journey of some 100 kilometres.

Background & Hi story
A Rich Heritage
A flashback album of SAIL

The Precursor
SAIL traces its origin to the formative years of an emerging nation - India. After independence
the builders of modern India worked with a vision - to lay the infrastructure for rapid
industrialisaton of the country. The steel sector was to propel the economic growth. Hindustan
Steel Private Limited was set up on January 19, 1954.
Expanding Horizon (1959-1973)
Hindustan Steel (HSL) was initially designed to manage only one plant that was coming up at
Rourkela. For Bhilai and Durgapur Steel Plants, the preliminary work was done by the Iron and
Steel Ministry. From April 1957, the supervision and control of these two steel plants were also
transferred to Hindustan Steel. The registered office was originally in New Delhi. It moved to
Calcutta in July 1956, and ultimately to Ranchi in December 1959.
The 1 MT phases of Bhilai and Rourkela Steel Plants were completed by the end of December
1961. The 1 MT phase of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in January 1962 after
commissioning of the Wheel and Axle plant. The crude steel production of HSL went up from
.158 MT (1959-60) to 1.6 MT. A new steel company, Bokaro Steel Limited, was incorporated in
January 1964 to construct and operate the steel plant at Bokaro.The second phase of Bhilai Steel
Plant was completed in September 1967 after commissioning of the Wire Rod Mill. The last unit
of the 1.8 MT phase of Rourkela - the Tandem Mill - was commissioned in February 1968, and
the 1.6 MT stage of Durgapur Steel Plant was completed in August 1969 after commissioning of
the Furnace in SMS. Thus, with the completion of the 2.5 MT stage at Bhilai, 1.8 MT at
Rourkela and 1.6 MT at Durgapur, the total crude steel production capacity of HSL was raised to
3.7 MT in 1968-69 and subsequently to 4MT in 1972-73.
Holding Company
The Ministry of Steel and Mines drafted a policy statement to evolve a new model for managing
industry. The policy statement was presented to the Parliament on December 2, 1972. On this
basis the concept of creating a holding company to manage inputs and outputs under one
umbrella was mooted. This led to the formation of Steel Authority of India Ltd. The company,
incorporated on January 24, 1973 with an authorized capital of Rs. 2000 crore, was made
responsible for managing five integrated steel plants at Bhilai, Bokaro, Durgapur, Rourkela and
Burnpur, the Alloy Steel Plant and the Salem Steel Plant. In 1978 SAIL was restructured as an
operating company.
Since its inception, SAIL has been instrumental in laying a sound infrastructure for the industrial
development of the country. Besides, it has immensely contributed to the development of
technical and managerial expertise. It has triggered the secondary and tertiary waves of economic
growth by continuously providing the inputs for the consuming industry.

About IPSS
The first three Public Sector steel plants i.e. Bhilai, Rourkela & Durgapur were set up in
collaboration with three different countries. Naturally, the equipment and other hardware
installed in these plants were conforming to the standards of the respective countries.
Subsequently, Bokaro was commissioned in early seventies. It was rightly called the Swadeshi
Steel Plant as a substantial percentage of indigenous machinery and equipment were used in
Bokaro. With TISCO & IISCO already having their own sets of specifications, there was a huge
proliferation of types, sizes and even designs leading to high inventories, problems in
maintenance and difficulties in procurement.With a view to overcoming the above difficulties,
the Ministry of Steel appointed a Panel of Experts on Standardization of Steel Plant Equipment
which recommended creation of a permanent body of experts to carry out the standardization
work.

IPSS Press Release
IPSS Secretariat was created in 1975 to fulfil this objective. Members of IPSS were SAIL,
TISCO, HEC, BHEL, MECON and DASTURCO. It started functioning under the then Indian
Standards Institution ( now Bureau of Indian Standards ) premises. In 1990, the whole activity
was taken over by SAIL and placed under Centre for Engineering & Technology (CET).
Subsequently, Vishakapatnam Steel Plant (RINL) also joined this forum. In addition to the above
mentioned member organizations, all major Petroleum PSUs are members of the Committee
which formulates IPSS standards on Oils & Lubricants. Since formulating standards required
extensive use of national and international standards and other reference data which was readily
available in Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) library, it was decided by SAIL management to
retain IPSS Secretariat at Delhi while CET shifted their headquarters to Ranchi.
