SAIL RSP Blast Furnace No. 5 sets new standards in India
Performance Guarantee Test completed by Danieli Corus specialists
A team of Danieli Corus specialists has achieved all of the required parameters for the Performance Guarantee (PG) for SAIL Rourkela Steel Plant Blast Furnace No. 5 – also known as “Durga” furnace. The Performance Guarantee test was successfully completed on September 19th, 2015.
During the test, new records were set for production levels up to 7550 tpd as well as fuel rates, with coke rates as low as 370 kg/tHM and PCI rates over 160 kg/tHM. Given the available raw material qualities, Danieli Corus has set new standards in India with this achievement.
“Durga” furnace has proven its potential for further increased production levels. This potential is a result of an unrivaled design based on a high conductivity plate-cooled lining, good quality supplies and equipment, accurate installation procedures and, above all, by world class operational practices.
These excellent results are very promising for the ongoing project at SAIL Rourkela Blast Furnace No. 1. This furnace is currently being rebuilt by Danieli Corus according to exactly the same technology.
