Annexure E to the Report u/s 134 of the Companies Act, 2013
[Pursuant to Section 134(3)(m) of The Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 8(3) of The
Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014]
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO
Information in Accordance with the Provisions of Section 134(3) (M) of the Companies
Act, 2013, read with Rule 8 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 regarding Conservation
of Energy, Technology Absorption and Foreign Exchange Earnings and Outgo;
A. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
(i) the steps taken or impact on conservation of energy;
A) Electrical energy saving in arc furnace by using oxygen lancing through multiport
nozzle Cost savings by replacement of electrical energy & less refractory consumption
along with high production. This multiport (4 hole) lance will improve the oxygen
penetration in the liquid bath to achieve faster desired quality in liquid metal.
B) Carbon enrichment in the flue gas through recirculation in DRI Kilns
At present 5 nos. of Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB) of capacity 10 TPH each are
present in AML, which are used to generate high pressure steam and finally used to
generate power at CPP. The main energy input to these WHRBs is waste hot gas (having
temperature of more than 950C) of 5 nos. of 100 TPD Sponge Iron Kiln Units. After inject
waste carbon dust from cooler discharge points in to After Burning Chamber (ABC) of kilns
to increase the flue gas temperature and gas volume thereby increasing the steam
generation from WHRB.
(ii) the steps taken by the company for utilising alternate sources of energy;
During study of Energy conservation following steps have been taken
A) Electrical energy saving in arc furnace by oxygen lancing : Implemented
B) Inject waste carbon dust from cooler discharge points in to After Burning Chamber
(ABC) of kilns to increase the flue gas temperature and gas volume : Implemented in Kiln
#2, procurement work under progress for rest 4 nos. kiln
C) Improvement of vacuum for condenser of TG-2 and reduction of specific steam
consumption & coal consumption of CFBC Boiler. : Under planning stage
D) Waste Recovery from Flue Gas After Hot Stove & Preheating of Combustion Air
& Blast Furnace Gas for Blast Furnace Gas Saving : Under planning stage
E) The condition of sealing at different location of sinter plant was not proper,
leading to increase of air leakage & dust leakage substantially. Hence, significant
amount of electrical energy can be saved & productivity can be improved. Engineering
and design work are under progress to arresting such air leakage & dust leakage from
sinter plant. : Under planning stage
(iii) The capital investment on energy conservation equipment's-Since, the company is
suffering from a very high liquidity crunch and was unable to make capital investments.
B. TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION
(i) The efforts made towards technology absorption;
(A) FAD
Installation of ladle trolley to enhance metal recovery by reducing contaminated
metal generation from long runner. : The hot material is tapped from the furnace
intermittently. When enough smelted ferrochrome has accumulated in the hearth of the
furnace, the tap hole is drilled open and the molten metal and slag are rushed down to a
metal and slag ladles through long runners. There is less material recovered because of
jamming and runner skull contamination in metal. After installation of ladle trolley we
had reduced length of runner resulting reduction in contaminated metal and metal yield has
been increased.
Introducing Circular pan to enhance metallic yield instead of rectangular mould
casting: In rectangular mould casting the slag separation from metal is done by skimmer
block arrangement which is not suitable for proper separation of slag resulting yield
loss.
(B) SMS
Installation of Tundish tilting arrangement for CCM# 1
We have converted CCM# 1 tundish from Board to Spray. The advantages of using Spray
tundish over Board tundish are listed below:
As the tundish capacity is more, we get more retention time of liquid steel in tundish
which enables the floatation of inclusions & thus improves quality.
We get more time for sequence change over as tundish capacity is more.
No risk of tundish rejection in case of long preheating times due to upstream delays.
(ii) The benefits derived like product improvement, cost reduction, product development
or import substitution; CHP
Truck tippler & magnetic separation system
After installation of truck tippler & magnetic separation system at coal handling
plant (CHP), we have been utilizing more quantity of charcoal and reduced coal handling
cost.
(iii) The expenditure incurred on Research and Development - Since, the company is
suffering from a very high liquidity crunch and was unable to make capital investments.
C. FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO
Activities relating to exports, initiatives taken to increase exports; development of
new export markets for products and services; and export plans;
