Pellets & Mining
Boosting Iron-Ore Production Efficiency & Capacity
At the forefront of transformational possibilities, Jindal SAW established a significant mechanized iron ore mine and pellet plant in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, in 2012, with a production capacity of 1.65 MTPA. The plant uses advanced technology to upgrade low-grade magnetite iron ore from 25% Fe to over 67% Fe, followed by pelletizing the concentrate. Notably, it operates with impressive energy efficiency, consuming less than 140,000 kcals per ton of pellet, which is 60% lower than the national average.
Key Plant Highlights
Jindal SAW’s Bhilwara plant leverages advanced technology for efficient iron ore beneficiation and pelletization. With features like low-grade ore processing, efficient mining, sustainable water use, and energy savings, it sets new standards in operational excellence and sustainability.
India's Only Pellet Plant Using Low-Grade Ore
Jindal SAW’s plant is the only one in India to process low-grade iron ore (25% Fe) post-beneficiation, upgrading it to over 67% Fe for improved yield
Efficient Mining Operations
Operating with a lean deposit and high stripping ratio, the plant requires approximately 19 tons of mining to produce 1 ton of concentrate, showcasing its resource-efficient approach.
Sustainable Water Management
The plant utilizes treated sewage water from Bhilwara, processed at Jindal SAW's Sewage Treatment Plant. The water is transported via a 23 km pipeline and stored in a 2.5 lac m3 capacity reservoir for use in mining, beneficiation, and pelletization.
Energy Efficiency
Achieving a significant energy milestone, the plant consumes less than 140,000 kcals of energy per ton of pellet, which is 60% less than the national average, contributing to its overall sustainability goals.
Global Standard Management System
The plant implements a comprehensive Integrated Management System (IMS), adhering to the latest global standards, ensuring high operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.
