3.0 Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP)
will be installed to achieve 100 mg/Nm3 of particulate matter
emission from DRI kiln/power plant. Fume extraction system alongwith bag
filters will be provided with SMS for control of particulate emission. Water
sprinkling, dust suppression and dust extraction system will be installed for
control of fugitive emissions. Total 335 m3/day water will be met from MIDC water supply. The wastewater
