4.0 DESCRIPTION OF WATER SYSTEM AT PLANT AND MINES AND MAJOR

AUDIT ACTIVITIES

4.1 DESCRIPTION OF PLANT WATER SYSTEM

At present Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) is using following types of water systems:

1) Central Recirculation System, which is a common system for various processes/

units/ shops

2) Local Recirculation System, which is a dedicated system for each processes/ units/

shops

In Central Recirculation System, the water is pumped from a common pond/reservoir

to different shops/processes, the hot water from shop flows directly to common pond

for cooling/ settling and the contaminated water from shop flows to common pond

through sludge pond for cooling and settling. After natural cooling the same water is

re-circulated to the shops/processes.

Such type of system is used in some shops/processes of BSL as indicated below in the

flow diagram.

In Local Recirculation System, the cold water pumped from cooling tower/treatment

plant to shop/process, from process the hot water is pumped back to cooling

tower/treatment plant for cooling and treatment. After cooling the same water is re-

circulated to the shop/process. In this system, the make-up water is supplied from the

plant make up water network. Such type of system is used in some shops/processes of

BSL as indicated below in the flow diagram.


An indicative flow diagram for both the systems is given below. In each process

multiple water supply as well as return water lines are there. Flow measurement of

each line shall be taken and the same shall be indicated in the water balance

accordingly.

At present Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP) is using following type of water systems:

Local Recirculation System, which is a dedicated system for each processes/ units/

shops

In Local Recirculation System, the cold water pumped from cooling tower/treatment

plant to shop/process, from process the hot water is pumped to cooling

tower/treatment plant for cooling and treatment. After cooling the same water is re-

circulated to the shop/process. In this system, the make-up water is supplied from the

plant make up water network. Such type of system is used in all the shops/processes

of DSP.

All the Mills at DSP have a common recirculating system. Hot and turbid water from

each mill comes to a common water treatment plant where water is treated and cooled

and then pumped back to consumers. Loss in the circuit is replenished by adding

make-up water.

In each process multiple water supply as well as return water lines are there. Flow

measurement of each line shall be taken and the same shall be indicated in the water

balance accordingly.


4.2 DESCRIPTION OF MINES WATER SYSTEM

ETP for Treatment of Effluent from Ore Processing Plant

2. Scheduling of the visits to the plant/iron ore mines for discussions and collection of

appropriate data necessary for preparation of report.

3. Measurement of total water supply flow rate to the Plant/Iron ore mine, total

discharge water flow rate and quality from the Plant/Iron ore mine.

4. Measurement of actual water supply flow rate to major processes, shops/ service

units.

5. Measurement of discharge water flow rate from major processes, shops/ service
