ROURKELA: Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), the integrated steel facility of state-run SAIL, said it has registered a record production of 7,282 tonnes of hot metal in its blast furnace on October 11.
The blast furnace unit also achieved the best shift record since inception in 'c' shift yesterday, breaking the previous record of 2,479 tonnes, the highest for any furnace, on March 28, 2006.
Blast furnace-four has registered a record production of 2,637 tonnes, the highest for any furnace on a single day since its inception surpassing the figure of 2,611 tonnes which it had notched up on October 3 this year.
Blast furnace-three produced 1,639 tonnes which was its highest production since its inception, the sources said.
The achievement became more commendable as the entire hot metal output of 7282 tonnes was consumed by the steel melting shops department of RSP.
"The unit would achieve the challenging targets it has set for itself," RSP Managing Director B N Singh said.
SAIL has approved expansion and modernisation of the Rourkela facility, which when completed would take the plant's crude metal capacity to 4.2 million tons per annum from the present 2.9 MTPA.
