Godawari Power & Ispat Ltd was originally incorporated as Ispat Godawari Ltd in 1999
with an objective to set up facilities to manufacture sponge iron, billets, and generate
captive power.
The commercial operations begin in 2001 at the company’s sponge iron plant with an
annual capacity of 1,05,000 tonnes.
The initial project to manufacture sponge iron (capacity - 1,05,000 tonnes), billets
(1,00,000 tonnes) and generate captive power (18 MW) becomes fully operational in
4
2003. During the same year, the company also received a prospecting license to mine iron
ore in Chhattisgarh.
GPIL undertook the first phase of its expansion plan in 2004 for sponge iron (1,30,000
tonnes), steel billets (1,00,000 tonnes) and captive power generation (10 MW). This also
included setting up new facilities to manufacture ferro alloys (16,500 tonnes) and HB
wire (60,000 tonnes), the first big step towards moving up the value chain.
The name of the company was changed to Godawari Power and Ispat Limited in 2005.
During the year, GPIL was also allotted captive iron ore mines in Chhattisgarh.
After the first phase of GPIL’s expansion plant got completed in 2006, the second phase
of the expansion was taken up. This phase entails expansion of sponge iron capacity by
2,60,000 tonnes, steel billets 2,00,000 tonnes and captive power generating capacity by
25 MW.
GPIL successfully completed its initial public offering and its shares got listed on the
BSE and the NSE in April, 2006. GPIL’s first WHRB captive power plant (7 MW) also
became the first one in the world to be registered with CDM Executive Board for
entitlement of carbon credits under the Kyoto Protocol.
In 2007, the second phase of expansion project culminated, catapulting GPIL into the big
league of sponge iron and steel wire manufacturers. Thus the company increased its scale
in steel segment.
In 2009, the company went into expansion of its existing plant by installation of Biomass
Power Plant, Iron Ore Beneficiation, Rolling Mill & Arc Furnace. Out of these facilities,
we have already installed the Biomass Power Plant and the beneficiation plant is yet to be
installed.
The company has commissioned the Iron Ore Pelletizing plant of capacity of 2.1 lac TPA
(with 2 kilns of 6,00,000 TPA & 15,00,000 TPA) in the year 2010 & 2013 respectively.
This is a backward integration for utilization of iron ore fines as pellets in sponge iron
kilns, having no effect on the total sponge iron capacity of the plant.

The technique of Grate kiln technology is adopted by Godawari Power & Ispat Limited
for 2.1 million TPA pellet project. Pellet is kind of important material for DRI making.

Proposed expansion of Sponge Iron Plant
The company proposes to increase the production capacity of its Sponge Iron Plant from
4,95000 TPA to 6,50,000 TPA without any modification in the plant and machinery, but
only by change in the raw material mix. Instead of using the conventional sized iron ore
and indigenous coal, we now propose to feed iron ore pellets and mix of indigenous and
imported coal. Earlier, DRI units could work for periods of 270-300 days in a year.
Nowadays, the plants are capable of working upto 330 days in a year.
Need for the proposed expansion of Sponge Iron project
The company is having existing Iron Ore Pelletizing facilities of capacity of 2.10 lac
TPA. This is the backward integration for utilization of iron ore fines as pellets in sponge
iron kilns. Pellet is today an important feed material for DRI making.
The agglomeration technologies viz. pelletization is an added advantage to DRI plant so

that concentrates can be used as feed material. Recycling of cheaper raw material (fines)
by beneficiation and pelletization process as feed material l result in better Return On
Investment as compared to using iron ore as feed material. With superior reducibility
behavior of pellets compared to lump ore efficiency of DRI production improves.
With the present availability of pellets as in house production, we are in a position to use
the pellet in DRI kiln instead of iron ore.
Advantages of using pellet in DRI Kiln are :
 Sponge Iron Kiln can produce more than 35-40% than its rated capacity with the
use of pellet as raw material without any changes in the design. With the high,
uniform mechanical strength and high abrasive strength of the pellet resulting in
more yield, the production of sponge iron can be increased.
 Specific consumption of coal will come down.
 Campaign life will increase due to less accretion.
9
 As there is less accretion and less fused lump formation, the refractory repairing
cost will reduce.
 Metallization is better compared to lump ore.
 There is very little generation of fines in the finished product as against
production with lump ore.
 There is less generation of solid waste.
 Maintenance cost will come down, as there will be no need for crushing and
screening of iron ore lumps.
 Due to minimum handling of pellet, ground losses are low as compared to iron
ore.
 As productivity will improve, cost of production of DRI will come down.
 Due to use of pellets, the fugitive emission is lower.
 Due to lower dust emissions, fugitive emissions etc, there is less stress on
environment.
The proposed feed materials for revised capacity of sponge iron plant will be iron ore
pellet, coal and dolomite.
Most of the coal based sponge iron plants in India uses iron ore lumps. The requirement
is generally 1.6 to 1.8 t/ t of sponge iron. Use of pellets with better physical and
metallurgical properties for sponge iron production reduces the accretion formation in
the kiln. Further, the production from the kiln is expected to increase by more than 30-
40%.
Project’s Importance to the Country/ Region
Utilization of low grade ore and fines has to play an important role. In India partly due to
the sponge iron sector; the overall percentage of lumps usage in steel making (47%) is
higher than most other countries. As hard ore reserves is depleting day by day, lump
generation suitable for blast furnace operation is coming down resulting in
production of large amount of surplus fines. Alternative iron making processes for
production of steel may lead to changing pattern of use material inputs and feed
stock causing significant shift in respective share of lumps and agglomerated iron
ore (pellets) and will also enable the use of ores which could not be utilized
earlier. As fines forms considerable part of iron ore resources, value addition to the iron
10
ore fines through various activities such as beneficiation, Pelletization is the need of the
hour for use in DRI.

Process Description of the Sponge Iron Plant
Raw Materials
The primary raw materials currently being used for production of the sponge iron are
coal, iron ore and dolomite.
We propose to change the feed material to iron ore pellets (captive production), mix of
Indigenous & imported coal and dolomite.
Chemical Composition of Raw Materials :
Sl. Current Proposed

No.
1 Iron Ore Fe : 62.5% to 65%, Pellet Fe : 63.5% ,
LOI: 3.5% LOI: 0.5%
2 Coal FC : 42%, Coal FC : 50%,
Ash : 35% Ash : 30%
3 Dolomite LOI : 50-52% Dolomite LOI : 50-52%
Manufacturing Process
The DRI sponge iron is produced in rotary kiln by reducing air or controlled air firing in
rotary kiln along with Coal and Iron Ore.
The standard mix of raw materials are fed through raw material handling system and taken
to a common belt conveyor through weigh feeders and then fed to the Rotary Kiln via feed
tube.
Process Description
In DRI making, a Rotary Kiln is used for direct reduction of ore. The rotary kiln is a
refractory lined vessel on which several blowers are mounted. From the blowers, air pipes
19
go through the shell and refractory, vertically and deliver the required amount of air,
required for the process axially. The kiln has conical out let and inlet holds the material in
the kiln. The Kiln is placed in a slope from feed end side at a slope of 2 ½%.
Iron ore, coal, dolomite/limestone is fed in the weighed quantity and the kiln is rotated at a
speed of about 0.5rpm. A temperature between 10000 C to 11000 C is maintained in about
70% of the kiln length towards discharge end side for required reaction.
After the reaction, the product is taken into an indirect cooling cylindrical cooler. The
product is cooled to 100 deg. C and taken for product separation. The product is separated
from the coal ash and coal char and then taken for final use.
The waste gas from the kiln contain lot of combustibles like coal volatiles, unused CO,
about 10 to 12% carbon particles and other dust. The gas is taken to an after burner
chamber and the combustibles are burnt and cooled to about 1600 C in a gas waste heat
recovery boiler and taken to ESP for final dust separation, before going to stack via ID
Fans.
The construction of kiln and cooler is made in such a way that no outside air is allowed to
go into the system. The outside air if goes to the kiln, deoxidizes the product ultimately
upsetting the temperature profile. To avoid this, ID Fan damper is throttled to maintain
+ve pressure in the kiln. The pressure of about +5mm water column is maintained at kiln
firing hood. However, checking the sponge iron fracture sample checks the setting of
pressure parameter. If the sample shows a re-oxidized periphery the pressure may be
increased.
The rotational speed of the kiln is adjustable as per the feed rate and percentage of
metallization. The percentage of inclination, rotational speed, the length of time the
material is exposed to atmosphere, the kiln temperatures are all to be taken into
consideration. So the kiln has three functions:
A. It is a heat exchanger.
B. It is a vessel for chemical reaction.
C. It is a conveyor of solids.
20
Heat Transfer
Heat transfer across the flat and curved areas of the material bed is influenced by load
faction, depth of the bed, angle of repose and material movement across the bed, slope and
rate of rotation, kiln diameter. When the kiln rotates, the material bed remains in the
inclined position. The bottom of the bed is called toe and the top of the bed is called
shoulder. If the shoulder is too high (speed is too high) material at the shoulder will be
cascading down towards toe. This cascading down will not expose the material surface
properly. If the speed is correct and the shoulder height is correct the material will roll
down, whereby the surfaces of the material will be exposed properly. The measure heat
exchange also takes place to the material via the hot refractory lining leaves the material
bed gets heat from the oxidizing zone.
As the kiln rotates the point goes further up and gets future heated up and while coming
down enters the bad again, start transferring the acquired heat to the bed. Thus, if
considered particular refractory point, before leaving the bed is coldest and before entering
the bed is hottest. Better the heat transfer better is the moralization. In the process about
30-40% of required coal is injected from kiln discharge side. Out of this 30% i.e. 15% of
the total coal is 0-5mm. This coal fines and coal fines generated from the bed, along with
axially blown air from the kiln-mounted blower, creates a flame inside the kiln. These fuel
gases or flame gases pass their heat to the kiln environment mainly by radiation and only
to a small degree by convection. Only about 13-22% of the kiln volume is usually filled
with the material. So the major portion of heat is transferred to the kiln lining by radiation.
Reaction Vessel
The kiln is also a reaction vessel. The following reaction takes place inside the kiln:
3 Fe2O3 2 Fe3O4 6 FeO 6 Fe
The degree of reduction in each step is as follows:
3 Fe2O3 11% 2Fe3O4 22% 6 FeO 67% 6Fe
21
The bye product of the above reaction is CO2. This carbon-di-oxide reacts with carbon
from coal to produce Carbon-mono-oxide:
CO2 + C = 2 CO
The above reaction is known as Boudouvd reaction. So the complete reaction is :
CO2 + C = 2 CO
3Fe2O3 + CO = 2 Fe3O4 + CO2
CO2 + C = 2 CO
Fe3O4 + CO = 3 FeO + CO
CO2 + C = 2 CO
FeO + C = Fe + CO2
The hydrocarbon of coal breaks down to hydrogen and carbon. Some believed that
Hydrogen also is used in Rotary Kiln as reductant. Since most of the kiln operates at
+1000 deg. C the hydrogen being the lighter gas goes up quickly to the vacant space
above the burden and helps in creating temperature.
The process of rate of reduction to final stage is effected by three main factors viz :
a . Quantity of reductant
b . Temperature
c . Residence time
a . Quantity of Reductants :
From the chemical reactions it is seen that as the % of O2 reduces in the ore, the % of
carbon requirement increases. If there is a shortfall of carbon the reaction proceeds in a
reverse way i.e. from reduction to oxidation. The reduction reaction is endothermic
(absorbs heat) while the oxidation reaction is exothermic. In the absence of reductant the
temperature goes up and sinter formation, ball formation and accretion starts.
For safe operating of the kiln about 0.45 to 0.50 MT of fixed carbon is required per ton
of total Fe input. Out of this 0.50 MT, 0.27 to 0.29 MT is given from feed end side and
rest is given from kiln discharge end side.
22
b. Temperature
As the coal is mixed with iron ore, it passes from feed end side and air is blown from the
blowers into the kiln, the liberated CO reacts with oxide material. This reaction lowers
the temperature of the bed due to its endothermic nature. It is necessary to generate
sufficient heat before the bed temperature falls. The gases coming out from the bed are
the mixture of decomposed and partially oxidized fuels. By adding air to these mixtures
of gases, combustion and heat generation takes place and the heat is radiated to the bed,
the mechanism of which has already been discussed earlier. As regards the temperature
profile, the first 20-25% is preheat zone where the material is heated up to 850 deg. C
and then to reduction temperature of about 1000 deg. C to 1050 deg. C. Iron ore once
reaches 850 deg. C, the surface gets reduced and generates less fines. So it is required to
heat up the ore to 850 deg. C as quick as possible and 70% of the kiln is taken to 1000 to
1050 deg. C for reduction purpose.
c. Residence Time
The total residence time of the material in the kiln is a function of the feed rate and kiln
rpm. With each increment in feed rate, the kiln seed is increased to maintain a constant
bed loading in the kiln.
Kiln-A Conveyor of Solids
Apart from all the functions it is also a conveyor of solids. Since it is at 2½ % slope from
feed end side to discharge end side, the material moves downwards both by gravity and
by rotational speed. With each rotation the material goes up the walls and again slide
back and moves forward.
But the interesting part is movement of fines and lumps in the bed. There is shear line
close to the top of the bed, a line which theoretically separate lumps moving freely down
the surface of the bed from more slowly moving lumps below. The material below the
shear line moves slowly because those around it pack in each lump, very little relative
motion occurs between lumps. The curved effect of the movement of these lump are
induced by the curvature of the kiln. Their speed of travel in the bed is the product of the
23
kiln angular velocity times the distance from the lumps to the kiln centerline. At 0.5 rpm
the velocity is 1.0 meter/sec. When the lumps move across the shear line at the shoulder
of the bed, they become free to roll down (not cascade down) the surface. They come to
and repeat the cycle. When the lumps are in lower zones, they are in fixed bed state.
Since the fines are lighter than the lumps, they segregate and remain in “kidney fashion”
at the top of the bed and moves in a mass like lumps. Since the fines remain at the top its
metallization is much better than the lumps.
One of the added advantages in the process of sponge iron is the utilization of waste heat
to generate power.
Process Flow Diagram of DRI Kiln
There will be no change in the manufacturing process and process flow except change in
feed material. The proposed raw materials mix is iron ore pellets, mix of Indigenous &
imported coal and dolomite instead of iron ore lumps, coal and dolomite.
In the above process, pellets may be read in lieu of iron ore for our proposed
capacity expansion.

conditioning and pollution control facilities. Ventilation and air-conditioning systems
are provided with proper working conditions necessary for maintaining environment
compatible with human hygienic requirements and to maintain conditions necessary
for proper storage of materials and working of plant and equipment. Pollution of the
environment not only adversely affects the human beings, flora and fauna but also
shortens the life of plant and equipment, for which adequate pollution control measures
are already taken.
The ventilation and air-conditioning systems generally include one or more items of
equipment and accessories such as fans, air filters, air-conditioning units, cooling water
system instrumentation and controls, electrics, etc. Ventilation and air-conditioning
system is provided with adequate measures for safety and fire fighting for fire
hazardous areas and is of flame proof/explosion proof construction.
Pollution control
The pollutants in the form of gases generated from various points of the Sponge Iron
Plant. This has been taken into account and adequate measures are being taken to arrest
the emission of pollutants within the stipulations of statutory norms. Adoption of
technology like recovery of dust/ash for re-use as raw material is fulfilling the twin
objectives of material conservation and pollution control.
Pollution control measures
The measures to control the air pollution ensure the ambient air quality standards as
laid down by Central Pollution Control Board for industrial and mixed use areas.
31
Following pollution control equipments / measures are installed:

- At all the points, Dust Collectors are installed.
- Water spraying on coal hip, coal yard and raw material is being done to control the
fugitive emissions.
- The Waste Gases fed in the Waste Heat Recovery Boiler wherein Electro Static
Precipitators are installed.
- For handling of Ash - Ash Handling System is installed & the ash is being used for fly
ash brick manufacturing and land leveling.
- Continuous water sprinkling on the internal roads
Solid Waste Management
The solid waste generation from the Sponge Iron process is Char & Dolochar and dust
from ESP & Bag filter.
