Description
Tata steel Indian Blast Furnaces are started using pellet in burden since April 2012. This was the first time to switch from sinter and lump ore to sinter, lump ore and pellet in burden. Several operational issues faced during early days with charging pellet, raising pellet percentage and deciding its chemistry. The paper is an attempt to show operational hurdles faced and count measures taken while switching from low to high pellet in burden for stable blast furnace operation and also describes changes adopted in pellet composition to improve blast furnace efficiency.
