DRK Metallurgical to expand its ferro alloy plant at Falta

West Bengal Steel Projects

DRK Metallurgical to expand its ferro alloy plant at Falta SEZ in 24 Paragnas in West Bengal with an investment of Rs. 2.5 million. The existing unit is manufacturing Ferro Vanadium (450 MTPA), Ferro Molybdenum (300 MTPA), Ferro Tungsten (96 MTPA), Ferro Nickel (70 MTPA) and Cobalt oxide (19.20 MTPA). Ferro Titanium (360 TPA), Ferro Manganese (LC & MC, 360 TPA), LC Ferro Chrome (360 TPA), Ferro Nickel (480 TPA), Molybdenum Oxide (240 TPA) and any one or two products will be manufactured at a time during proposed expansion. Proposed products will be manufactured by a pyrometallurgical process. Raw materials will be charged into sand pits lined with refractory materials.  Aluminous thermic reaction will be highly exothermic and temperature will shoot upto 2500^oC in the molten condition.  Reaction time will be hardly 2 minutes. Slag and metals will be separated after cooling and solidification.
