Facility expansion in Karnataka by 2022
Kalyani Steels plans to install a coke-making facility and heat recovery captive power plant near its steel plant in Koppal district in Karnataka. The project is expected to be commissioned in September 2022.
The company would set up 15-17MW captive power plant to be operated utilising waste heat energy of flue gas generated from coke oven. The project costing about Rs2.11bn ($28.9mn) involves setting up of a 200,000mt per annum non-recovery/heat recovery, stamp charged coke oven with modified wet quenching of hot coke.
There will be captive consumption of the electrical power produced with this development.
