JAMIPOL is a total solution provider for desulphurization needs of the steel industry. The company manufactures consumables and has now started construction of desulphurization (DS) stations for mini blast furnace units. The company gives consultancy for selection of equipment, refurbishing of DS stations and optimization of DS operations.
JAMIPOL is a joint venture company, promoted by Tata Steel, SKW Stahl Metallurgie AG, Germany and Tai Industries, Bhutan for the production and marketing of Desulphurising Compounds (DCs) used by the Steel Industry for external desulphurisation of hot metal. JAMIPOL products are required for reducing the sulphur in hot metal. Low sulphur hot metal in Integrated Steel Plants helps in increasing productivity, reducing cost and simultaneously meeting exacting quality standards specified by demanding customers. Low sulphur hot metal cast as “pig” by mini blast furnace units helps their customers to produce downstream products like casting etc. of low sulphur and thereby of enhanced quality.
JAMIPOL has two plants, one locted in Eastern India at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand and another located in Southern India at Toranagallu, Dist. Bellary, Karnataka. Both plant have a nameplate capacity of 15000 tpa for production of CADs. Output from each of plants can be increased to 40,000 tpa by addition of certain balancing facilities. Jamshedpur unit became operational in April’98 and that in Toranagallu in Feb.’06. With these two units JAMIPOL has capability to supply DCs to existing and potential customers in the entire country.
JAMIPOL manufactures carbide based (CADs) DCs and supplies carbide & magnesium based (CAMs) and magnesium based (MAGs) DCs. The products are tailor made for specific customer requirement with varying degree of calcium carbide, lime, volatiles, slag conditioners etc., depending upon the specific customer requirement. The CAMs have defined percentage of magnesium granules mixed with CADs. The chemical composition is precisely controlled through a specially developed recipe software, which makes necessary adjustments to compensate for the variations in the raw material chemistry.
JAMIPOL today caters to the entire domestic requirement of CADs, which include supplies to Tata Steel, SAIL and JSW Steel Ltd. Besides the supply of DCs, JAMIPOL has also been providing application know-how and support service to its customers with assistance from its collaborator under the technology arrangement.
JAMIPOL has developed capability in conjunction with a construction partner, to take turnkey jobs for construction of mono injection DS units suitable for mini blast furnaces. Going forward, the Company aims to be first Indian organization to construct large DS station for integrated steel plants. |
