Brief
description/abstract
|
NML has developed an
environment friendly Cokeless Cupola using either low sulphur light
diesel oil (LDO) or natural gas LPG which not only reduces emission
level of the suspended particulate matters 9SPM) but also the sulphur
dioxide within Central Pollution Control Board's stipulated limit of
150 mg/m3 and 350 mg/m3 respectively. In
addition it gives liquid metal worth of making high value spharodized
gray (S.G.) cast irons.

|
Major
raw material
|
Pig iron, Fuel (LDO or
Natural gas or LPG) and flux for slag making
|
|
Major
Plant Equipment/Machinery
|
The furnace is similar to
coke fired cupolas except that there is a water cooled grate over
which ceramic balls are placed to take the load of charge and provide
porosity for flue to go up and melt to flow done. Liquid or gas
burners are fixed below the grate to impart necessary heat to melt the
metal & slag.
