Copyright © 2010 Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. 1.It is possible to optimize the process to get higher performance indices with inferior raw materials also. 2.It is advisable to do a detailed cost benefit analysis before going for any such experiments. 3.On paper it may seem lucrative, but it’s always an opportunity loss to operate a furnace at higher slag rates. 4.In general it should be discouraged to charge garbage in Blast Furnace.
