The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is implementing a project by which India's steel re-rolling mills can use advanced energy-efficient technologies called second generation (SG) technologies for energy conservation, according to Knowledge News Network, a media platform that focuses on the Indian micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sector.
The project is a part of the programme, 'Upscaling energy-efficient production in the small-scale steel industry in India', being implemented with support from Australian Aid and the Union ministry of steel. UNDP has identified five SG technologies in selected steel re-rolling mills in India for energy conservation and will support their adoption.
The five identified SG technologies are power generation through waste heat recovery from flue gas, effective furnace atmosphere control through automation, high-performing insulation for re-heating furnaces, coal drying using waste heat available in flue gas and energy efficiency in motion control.
UNDP is seeking details of suppliers that have ready products, technical know-how and adequate implementation experience in any of the five SG technologies.
India's secondary steel sector comprises some 1,800 small and medium-sized SRRMs. A typical SRRM comprises a re-heating furnace for heating ingots/billets and a rolling mill to give the ingots/billets the desired shape. Energy costs from 30-40 per cent of the conversion cost in a SRRM.
