New Delhi: NMDC commissioned the primary coke oven battery (COB) within the presence of Okay Praveen Kumar, ED in cost, Nagarnar Metal Plant and different senior officers. The primary batch of coke was discharged this afternoon paving the best way for the sequential commissioning of subsequent key items.
A number of main items should be commissioned sequentially in order that their interdependence could be established easily.
Battery No. 2 is due for commissioning within the subsequent few days and the method will ultimately culminate within the commissioning of the new strip mill and skinny slab caster within the coming months.
Nagarnar Metal Plant goals to supply 2.89 million tonnes of high-quality HR coils, pates and sheets yearly, utilizing state-of-the-art know-how and reaching the very best degree of power effectivity.
Sumit Deb, CMD, NMDC appreciating the collective effort described the event as “an essential day within the historical past of Nagarnar Metal Plant and a major milestone in commissioning of three MTPA Built-in Metal Plant”.
He exhorted the collective to “put all-around honest efforts as a workforce to realize the ultimate milestone of commissioning the Plant”.

This successfully protects towards air pollution and likewise helps in utilising the warmth to generate energy. When absolutely useful, Nagarnar Metal Plant has the aptitude to generate in-house 80MW of energy of its complete requirement of about 296 MW.
The byproduct plant, a essential unit that’s intrinsically linked to the coke oven, was additionally commissioned. That is an absolute prerequisite for beginning a coke oven battery as a result of all poisonous parts produced in the course of the coke-making course of are captured, handled and commercialised by the byproduct plant.
This unit successfully aids pollution-free coke manufacturing by extracting tar, naphthalene, sulphur and ammonia as byproducts. Hutni of Czechoslovakia is the know-how supplier.
