UNDP, Australian Aid to support energy efficiency in steel re-rolling

New Delhi, Oct 27 (KNN) With an aim to encourage steel mills in India to adopt energy efficiency measures, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is implementing a project by which steel re-rolling units can use advanced energy efficient technologies called second generation (SG) technologies for energy conservation.
“SG technologies are either entirely innovation to the sector such as ‘waste heat based power generation’ or those that are not yet popular in the SRRM sector such as ‘oxygen analysis based VFD controller for re‐heating furnace’. However, these energy efficient measures are expected to provide significant potential for energy saving,” said a statement.
The project is a part of the programme “Upscaling energy efficient production in small scale steel industry in India” implemented with support from Australian Aid and Ministry of Steel, Government of India.
The UNDP has identified five SG technologies in selected steel re-rolling mill (SRRM) units in India for energy conservation and will support their adoption.
The five identified SG technologies are power generation through waste heat recovery from flue gas, effective furnace atmosphere control through automation, high performing insulation for re-heating furnace, coal drying using waste heat available in flue gas and energy efficiency in motion control for SRRM.
In this regard, the UNDP is seeking details of the suppliers having ready products, technical know‐how and adequate implementation experience for any of the five SG technologies resulting in significant energy efficiency.
The secondary steel sector comprises about 1800 small and medium‐scale steel re‐rolling mill (SRRM) units. A typical SRRM unit will comprise a re‐heating furnace for heating ingot/billet or scrap plate and a rolling mill to give heated ingot/billet the desired shape. Energy costs from 30 to 40 per cent of conversion cost1 in a SRRM. (KNN/ST)
