In a 100 TPD Sponge Iron plant, the sponge iron is fed to the Induction melting furnace,
producing molten steel at 88% yield. The Energy consumption details are as follows:
Coal Consumption : 130 TPD
GCV of coal : 4500 kcal/kg
Power Purchased from Grid : 82400 kWh / day
Specific Energy consumption for Kiln producing Sponge Iron: 120 kWh / ton sponge iron
Calculate the following
1. Specific Energy Consumption of Induction melting furnace in terms of kWh/ton of
molten steel
2. Specific Energy Consumption of the entire plant, in terms of kcal/kg of molten
steel (product).
3. Total Energy Consumption of Plant in Tons of Oil Equivalent (TOE )
