Kalyan Steels has commissioned a coke-making facility, and partially commissioned waste heat recovery (WHR)-based captive power plant, adjacent to its steel plant at Ginigera on Hospet Road, in Koppal district of Karnataka.

The company commenced commercial production of the coke oven plant, and its auxiliaries and utility systems on March 31, 2023. The production has already attained the designed capacity and industry-standard product quality. The power plant with the turbine-generator, with all the balance of plant (BOPs) along with one of the two boilers has also been commissioned. The second boiler to be added to the steam circuit will be commissioned shortly.

The company had planned to set up a 2,00,000 tpa non-recovery / heat recovery, stamp charged coke oven with modified wet quenching of hot coke, and a 17-18 MW captive power plant to be operated utilizing waste heat energy of flue gas generated from the coke oven. The electrical power so produced shall be used for captive consumption and the surplus, if any, will be sold to external agencies.

The indigenous coke-making technology with all the latest innovations has been incorporated for a high degree of technological performance and product quality, in line with the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ campaign.
