About Us
STEEL TECH’s Annual International Seminarstarted in 2009 by our founding Editor Late Dr
Amit Chatterjee which became very popular andunique in its own way. A large number ofspeakers and participants attended it both fromdomestic and overseas. The rich contents,
interactive deliberations and opportunity fornetworking were its especial attraction. We
continued the saga and this 18th seminar in theseries will discuss about the transforming thesteel industry sustainable by using research &technology/modernising the plants. It will surely
be of great interests to the participants.

Background
India is the second largest Steel producer in the world. Its
population is close to 1.4 billion almost the same as that ofChina but per capita consumption of steel is ~ 93.4 Kg
compared to global average of 219.3 and China’s ~ 628.3 Kg.
National Steel Policy 2017 of India by the Ministry of Steelaims to reach 300 Mtpa steel capacity with an increased
finished steel per capita consumption of 160 Kg by FY31. This
will entail additional investment of INR 10 Lakh Cr by FY31.
India also aims to reach 500 Mtpa of crude steel capacity by2047. The Secondary Sector is expected to produce over 30%
crude steel which is unique for India. Like elsewhere in theworld, there is pressure to produce green steel for thesurvival of the industry charting a pathway for sustainablegrowth. At COP26, India set out its plan to help slowdown
and halt global warming, with a net-zero target by 2070.

04Although India has vast reserves of non-coking coal and iron ore,production cost in Indian steel plants is higher due to various factors likehigh interest rates for the capital; dependence on imported coking coal,
raw materials for refractory making, additives like Ni for stainless steel, etc.
Energy cost is also high due to higher electricity tariff. The logistic costs in
India is much higher compared to other steel producing counties though
GoI is taking massive steps to improve infrastructure of the country.
Moreover, Indian steel plants are still and majorly dependent on imported
technology and equipment supply for new plants or brownfield expansion.
Production of green steel will also call for imported technology.
For the steel industry the challenge of sustainability is crucial due toenvironmental problems causing climate change and need to conserve
natural resources and promote circular and responsible economy. The
development of new technologies is the road towards achieving the goalsof reducing pollutant emissions and using resources (raw material, water,energy) efficiently. This effort is continuous and it is seen that the energy
required to produce a tonne of steel today is ~ 40% compare to theamount required in 1960.

WHY ATTEND THISSEMINARThe seminar will provide a unique opportunity to interact with Doyen ofIndustries, Technology Suppliers, Designers, Operating Personnel, Researchers,
Academia and many other involved with Metal Production, Processing fromacross the world. The latest technological developments in production/usage aswell as process control techniques will be deliberated in the seminar.

Technology, Equipment &Research
Adoption of Latest Technologies and Equipments help to remainsustainable and competitive. Life cycle cost to be the basis forselection of technology besides the nature of indigenous raw
materials availability, need to restrict CO2 emission at all stages,
meeting customers’ requirement in respect of quality and sizes.
Aim to reduce cost of production through high efficiency in operation,ability to use wide variety of raw materials, flexibility in production offinished steels at various combination of sizes and meeting otherquality requirements.
Manufacturing of steel plant equipment in India is a must to reduce
cost of procurement and reduced Lead Time.
Research is inevitable to develop new technology and for thesustenance. Technology Developers and Suppliers to discuss theirachievements and supply.

Innovations
As India has large reserves of high ash noncoking coal and iron ore fragile in nature,
innovative technology is required for
production of DRI and Liquid hot metal.
CO2 emission is high in Indian steel plantsaround 2.5 t per ton of HM. For existing BF,
coke rate need to come down drasticallythrough injection of Pulverised coal, natural
gas and H2. Carbon capture & Usage is vitalfor Indian plants if they want to utilise thenon-coking coal availability. Commercial
applications is still at nascent stage. R&D
need to work on this.
Green Steelmaking – The steel industry
stakeholders to deliberate and takenecessary steps for its sustainable future.
Decarbonizing the entire process from raw
material (including Green DRI) to finishing.

03

Logistics
Logistic costs is almost 20-25% of total cost for a steel plant. Mode of transport need to be slurry
pipeline for raw materials, water transport as far as possible and finally Railways are cheaper
compared to Road Transport. Beneficiation of ore and coal at mines site, Service Centre near
the plant to cut exact sizes required by customers, etc. will reduce cost of transportation.

Power & Energy(including Green Energy)
Digitization & AI
No plant in this era can be sustainable and make profit without recourse toDigitization and implementing Industry 4.0. The various areas where thesecan be inducted to be discussed at affordable costs.
Digitization and use of AI/IoT/Machine Learning /etc.
will help in reduction of man power and increased safety for people
working besides achieving better quality products with less rejection.
Industry 5.0 adds a personal human touch to Industry 4.0 pillars ofautomation and efficiency.

Brand Image, Safety & Environment
Company’s brand image to be developed over the years to allow higher
prices and retention of customers. Environment is one of the Key Issue forsustainability and make the local Society and people as Partner. Safety isalways the most important for all.
