• Coke Oven Quenching: The water is reused for quenching the hote coke. • Sinter plant: Blow-down water is used in sinter nodulizing. • Blast furnace: Dust laden waste water is treated in effluent treatment plants and the

treated water is recycled back to the process to scrub blast furnace gas. • SMS: Waste water is taken to a settling tank and the outlet water of the tank is

reused. The blow-down water is used in slag granulation. • Rolling mill: Process waste water is skimmed for oil and scale and then recycled

back to the plant. No wastewater is discharged. • DRI: Cooling close-circuit effluent-recycling system has been installed. Waste water

from the cooling section is taken to a hot water well and then to the cooling tower and the cold water well, from where it is recycled back into the process.

• Power Plant: DM plant wastewater is treated in the neutralization pit. After treatment, the water is reused for wet ash handling system.

• Submerged Arc Furnace: Waste water is reused for slag cooling and dust suppression.

• Sewage Treatment Plants (STP): Three sewage treatment plants (combined capacity 3050 KL/ day) have been installed. The treated water is 100% reused for horticulture and green cover.

• Garage, DG Set & Compressor Houses: Oil separators have been provided. Clean water is further treated in the STP.
