INTEGRATED STEEL PLANTS (ISPs)
Steel plants using iron ore as the basic raw material for production of crude steel which is normally rolled into finished shapes in-house. Conventionally in India, these plants have captive coke ovens also and the sensible heat of the outgoing gases from coke/iron/steel making are utilised as fuel for various applications. It therefore, includes units with in-house coke making (optional), iron making followed by production of liquid steel (adopting refining techniques) for conversion into crude steel and finished steel products.
