SKBIT Process involves reduction directly from Iron Ore fines to Cold Briquetted Iron using Indian coal fines as the reducer.
Coal gasifiers are used to achieve the heat required for the process. This ensures no pollution and is continuous without any breakdown.
CASE in consultancy with OTSK, China is to install and commission fully automatic PLC controlled 800TPD SKBIT (Static Kiln Briquetted Iron Technology) Process to make CBI (Cold Briquetted Iron) for M/S Mahalaxmi TMT Pvt Ltd., at Wardha, Maharashtra , India
Salient Features of Technology:
· Direct Iron reduction from iron ore fines, thus saving cost.
· No pollution as gasifier gas is used instead of direct coal.
· Static furnace used instead of rotary furnace thus not loosing down time for cleaning and agglomeration .
· carbon percentage in CBI around 0.25%. So no carbon additives necessary for making steel.
· No char separation process required as char is not formed .
· Fe Metallic more than 98% of total metallic in the end product .
· Totally automatic PLC controlled plant.
