JSP installs blast furnace gas injection system

A new blast furnace syn-gas injection system will support Jindal Steel and Power's transition toward green steel production by lowering blast furnace CO2 emissions at a plant in Angul, India. The injection system enhance greencCredentials and reduce OPEX.

In May 2024, Jindal Steel and Power (JSP) placed an order with Primetals Technologies for the engineering of a new Hydrogen-Bearing Syn-Gas Injection System and site advisory services during the installation and commissioning phase. This includes the integration of the new system into the existing Primetals Technologies Level 2 automation solution.
By replacing part of the traditional carbonaceous fuels with hydrogen, JSP will reduce the CO2 emissions from the blast furnace. The new gas injection system will utilize surplus syn-gas generated from the coal gasification plant at the site and as a result reduce the carbon fuel rate. In addition to improving the green credentials of the blast furnace, the operating costs will reduce, lowering the cost per ton of hot metal.
The new system will be added to blast furnace No. 1 at the plant in Angul, India. The blast furnace was originally designed, installed, and commissioned by Primetals Technologies in 2017. With a dedicated and experienced blast furnace team the operation of the furnace has gone from strength to strength and in early 2023 JSP achieved a record daily output of over 12,000 tons.
JSP is one of the leading steel producers in India with a turnover of more than 7.6 billion dollars. The company’s product portfolio spans the steel value chain from a whole range of long products and rails to the widest flat products. JSP exports its diversified product portfolio to more than 22 countries.
