PREAMBLE AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS

1) Filtration unit and port facilities: Iron ore slurry received from Kudremukh is dewatered by vacuum disc filters (18 in nos.) and filtered dry ore concentrate is stored in two covered stockpiles having a total capacity of 4,00,000 tones. Iron ore concentrate is reclaimed, from stockpile, with the help of reclaimers and is supplied to pellet plant or loaded into ship through ship loader of 6000 tones per hour capacity .

2) Pellet Plant : A 3.5 million tone per year pellet plant, on Lurgi Straight Grate Process, to produce High-grade DR and BF grade iron oxide pellets. The process of pelletisation involves mixing of iron ore concentrate with Lime, Coke and Bentonit powder as additives. The mixed material is then fed to palletizing discs for production of green pellets. The green pellets, after removing unsized material, are fed to indurating machine where green pellets are dried, pre-heated, fired at high temperature and cooled. The fired pellets, after removing undersize material, are conveyed to pellet stockpile .

3) Screening and grinding facilities : Owing to strategic reasons and to continue pellet production, K.I.O.C.L has decided to buy hematite Iron ore fines from alternative sources.
