About Indian Steel Industry

Today, India is the 4th largest crude steel producer in the world.

Crude steel production : 87.29 MT( Approx).

Steel Ministry target for crude steel production by 2020 ?
Day by day demand of quality steel increasing.
Efforts are being made to boost demand.

Why DS
Reduces Raw Material selection Constraints for Blast Furnace Operations
- S in Coke, fluxes, ores
- Alkali in fluxes, ores

With the scarcity of good quality coking coal,

coal external desulphurization will play an importan
role for producing quality steel
Ensures Lower S in Products
Helps in Overall Cost Reduction

In Steel Making

- Allows use of cheaper scrap
- Lower Flux rate
- Consistent S - high strike rate in Steel Making
Improves Casting speed

Idea behind JAMIPOLS TDSM Model

Sulphur is an undesirable element in most of the end steel product

To achieve the desired level of low sulphur,, iron & steel makers prefer external hot metal DS route
worldwide.

This is a well established technology & many steel makers are utilizing this technology.

Out sourcing is one of the key initiatives which most of the steel makers prefer nowadays.

Hence JAMIPOL has developed an innovative Total DS Management model to address the above
requirements of steel makers

Through this model Indian steel makers now can outsource the external DS operation & maintenance
on cost per ton per point sulphur drop basis.

This model helps steel makers to achieve the desired level of sulphur with some reduction in
operating cost.

Salient features of the DS station set up by JAMIPOL

Fully automated and PLC controlled system.

Computer based operation with all data available on screen for the operators.

The specific consumption of Carbide based compound and mag-97

mag
varies from 0.049-0.038 kg per
ton HM per point sulphur drop & 0.008 -0.006
0.006 kg per ton HM per point sulphur drop respectively

HM S content as low as 0.001% has been achieved from Sulphur level range from 0.05- 0.080%.

Deep Injection Process

 Hot metal desulphurization is the optimum solution for
sulphur control during steelmaking.

 Reagent materials are injected through a lance lined

with refractory into the hot metal transfer ladle, the
most suitable vessel for hot metal desulphurization.

 The process model determines the reagent

requirements and predicts temperature and iron loss

based upon hot metal condition and final sulphur level.

 JAMIPOL has a strong background for making

desulphurization compound that will ensure successful

hot metal desulphurization technology in any steel
plant.

Total DS Management Model

Specific DS Cost

The specific DS Cost is considered to be a very important parameter which

directly controls the operational cost of the DS Station. It is calculated based on
the cost of treatment for per ton of hot metal per point sulphur drop

Cycle Time

Cycle time is the time required for doing DS of a heat which needs to be adjuste
as per logistics of the steel making shop.

Temperature Loss

The loss of temperature due to external DS operation.

Sulphur Reversal

The process of sulphur reversal is directly related to the deslagging efficiency of

the external DS operation

Metal Loss

Metal loss is the loss of metallic Fe during the process of deslagging of DS Slag.

Strike Rate

The % of achieved sulphur as compared to that of the target level is known as

strike rate.

Lance Life

In case of DS operation Lance life is normally measured in terms of minutes of

operation during the injection of compounds

Benefits of Total DS Management Model

Reduce operating cost for sulphur management

Assurance of consistent Sulphur after treatment from external treatment

process

Steel makers get more time for doing core steel making activity

New approaches are adopted for DS process optimization

Conclusion

The demand for external desulphurization is continuously increasing

Continuous development in technology to optimize the cost economics of
external desulphurization of Hot metal

Systematic Approach for better DS efficiency

Total DS Management is a cost guarantee model which takes care of both
cost and desired quality.
