Abstract

During the second half of 2006 two new blast furnaces (1462 m3 WV) from the Jindal Group were successfully blown in. Both furnaces are identical and are equipped with a bell less rotary charging unit BRCU, an innovative new charging apparatus. During the filling of the furnace before the blow-in experiments were performed to demonstrate the effect of different charging modes of the BRCU on the layer build up. The ultimate goal is to achieve a high productivity (>2.5 tHM/24hr/m3WV) at high PCI rates (>150 kg/tHM) which is challenging with local raw materials available. This will secure a place for JSW in top 5 of Indian blast furnace performance. Together with the state of the art design and operations, a campaign life of over 15 years is targeted. This paper describes the results of the JSW blast furnace in the first 8 months of operation.
