Pelletizing essentially consists of formation of green balls of 12 to 16mm size from raw material mix of iron ore fines, coal or coke fines, limestone fines, and bentonite as a binder. These green balls are then indurated to form the pellet of desired quality.

Sinter making is an agglomeration process in a steel plant where iron ore fines, coal fines, and fluxes are mixed in a sinter plant to manufacture a product of suitable chemical and physical properties to feed the blast furnace. The interest in Sinter-Based agglomeration processes is rapidly growing with the promise of enabling new applications by significantly reducing production costs.

Thin Slab Casting is a significant evolutionary step in casting methodology and allows greater efficiency and therefore cost-effectiveness to be applied to the casting process. Thin slab casting is a high-speed caster that continuously cast slab of thickness 60 to 75 mm. This thin slab is heated in a state-of-the-art tunnel furnace and is directly fed into the hot rolling mill. It is an energy-efficient process where no reheating furnace and roughing mills are required.

Heat balance is an account of the input and output of heat in a process which follows the first law of thermodynamics. A proper heat balance not only helps to predict the efficiency of a furnace, but also eliminates any excessive fuel wastages. Reduced fuel requirement helps reduce production costs as well as save a portion of our rapidly depleting natural resources.

By -product type coke oven design is a state of art in field of Ceramics. The regenerative system of this design enhances the efficieny of the entire heating system. A stable thermal gradient is achieved by adapting to the mordern development in Twin-flue system.The gigantic structure of Ceramic is held entact by its achorage system.

Enviornmental responsibility towards reducing the carbon footprint has led us evolve modern qenching tehnique from loss of sensible heat of coke by conventional water quenched technique to coke dry quenching method. This module will discuss various coke quenching and handling techniques.

Raw material bedding and blending plant is established to receive, blend, stockpile, prepare and supply specified grades of raw materials for smooth operations of iron making plants. This program discusses bulk raw materials handling along with some general problem of scientifc analysis and documentation of basic equipment de-tails, stockyard facilities, bulk materials transport systems and sinter processes.

Steel sections are generally rolled in several passes whose number is determined by the ratio of initial input material and final cross section of finished product. The cross section area is reduced in each pass and form & size of the stock gradually approach to the desired profile.

By-products generated during the course of carbonisation contains coal tar, moisture and toxic chemicals such as hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, naphthalene etc. These toxic chemicals need to be processed through complex chemical treatment process before re-cycling it into the system.

Fundamentals of Hot Rolling presents the theoretical knowledge of longitudinal rolling in a comprehensive procedure. This module discusses the basic theory and principles of rolling processes.

Desulphurization of hot metal is a crucial step in the steel manufacturing process. Sulphur in steel adversely influences both mechanical and corrosion properties of the steel and causes hot shortness. A primary source of sulphur in the hot metal is the coal used in the blast furnace. As the usage of lower grade coal is being more common, more sulphur is introduced into the hot metal. Thus, there is an increased need for efficient Desulphurization of hot metal. Thus, this eLearning module explains the importance of Desulphurization in achieving the desired quality of steel.

Bulk Material Handling is primarily focused on the designing of equipment used for the handling of dry materials. Bulk materials are generally dusty, granular, or lumpy and are stored in heaps or stacks. Some examples of Bulk Materials are minerals, ores, coal, wood chips, sand, gravel, cereals, clay, cement, ash, salt, chemicals, grain, sugar, flour, and stone in loose bulk form. It can also relate to the handling of amalgamate wastes. Bulk Material Handling is a vital segment of all industries that process bulk ingredients including food, beverage, confectionery, pet food, animal feed, tobacco, chemical, agriculture, polymer, plastic, rubber, ceramic, electronics, metals, minerals, paint, paper, textiles, and many more. Hence, appropriate training is crucial for operating a productive and reliable bulk solids handling system. It will help the students and professionals alike to engender greater awareness of plant operating efficiency, safety, and process improvement.
