World's biggest blast furnace blows in

——— TSK’s blast furnace 2 features CISDI’s digital designs, digital management and deliverables

The world’s largest new blast furnace has blown in at TATA Steel Kalinganagar in India and has been tapping smoothly since start-up.

The furnace features an effective volume of 5,873 cubic metres and is designed to produce 4.375 million tonnes of hot metal a year.

CISDI’s core design expertise and its Chinese-made equipment are responsible for the furnace’s efficient, low-consumption operation achieving superior standards.

It features the following CISDI equipment:

⬧       Top-combustion hot stoves with a high blasting temperature

⬧       Gas dry-way dust collection system

⬧       Granulated slag dewatering drum

⬧       High-precision pulverised coal injection system

⬧       Stockhouse and casthouse dust removal system.

Thanks to CISDI’s digital three-dimension collaborative, smart piping and instrument diagram and modular designs, the furnace has been supplied and built under digital management and with digital deliverables. It has been tailored to its local raw material and fuel conditions and TSK’s production practices.

CISDI’s project implementation team worked throughout the pandemic and successfully navigated differences in technical standards, cultures and practices to achieve the creation of a model furnace featuring world-class quality.
