Sarda Energy and Minerals Limited (SEML) Friday announced that it has received the consent for the enhancement of capacity of Iron Ore Pellet Plant located in Raipur district of Chhattisgarh.
“We are pleased to inform that the Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board, Raipur has granted to the Company, under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, the Consent to Operate the enhanced capacity of its existing Iron Ore Pellet Plant from existing 8,00,000 tonnes per annum to 9,00,000 tonnes per annum,” SEML said in a regulatory filing today.
The flagship entity of Chhattisgarh-based Sarda Group, SEML is one of the first few companies in the country to produce Pellets from Iron ore Fines using Grate-Kiln technology. The technology facilitates production of superior grade feed material for DRI and Blast Furnace using ore Fines which are otherwise unusable. After wet grinding the Fines, dewatering is done. The fine sized concentrate is mixed with binder and other additives and green balls are formed in the Disc Pelletisers.
The green Pellets are preheated, dried, indurated and cooled and put in stock piles. Majority of the Pellets produced is used in house for production of DRI. The capacity of the Pellet Plant will now be enhanced to 0.9 million tonne per annum.
