SAIL's Bhilai plant installs new system to cut emissions, boost efficiency

Safety and monitoring systems have been deployed for safe and efficient COG operations, said BSP officials

SAIL’s Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) has achieved a milestone in its targets for energy efficiency and emissions by commissioning a Coke Oven Gas (COG) Injection System, said a statement.

 

The system will use coke oven gas, which has “significant calorific value”, as an auxiliary fuel in producing sinter, a mass of fine iron ore dust and other materials fused together as part of steelmaking.

 

According to the BSP officials, injecting COG into a sinter bed reduces around 2 kg of coke per tonne of sinter produced. It improves sinter quality and cuts carbon emissions by an estimated 12,700
