• Resumen

  • According to Dalmia Seven, the plant is the first of its kind in India, with a high level of automation, which enables precision dosing of raw materials for efficient high-grade refractory production. According to Anirbandip Dasgupta, executive secretary at IRMA, the increase in EAF numbers will not significantly alter overall demand for refractories in the Indian steel industry, but the nature of the products required will change. According to Sudipta Patra, senior executive with Jindal Stainless, a unit of India-based multinational Jindal Steel & Power, the development and use of high-performance EAFs in India will force shifts in the composition of refractory products required by steelmakers. Total installed capacity at the five plants is nearly 400,000 tonnes per year. Besides producing refractory products for the steel, copper, cement, aluminium, glass, petrochemicals and other non-ferrous industries, TRL Krosaki offers refractory management and engineering services, is one of the largest manufacturers of dolomite refractories in the world, and is the leading global supplier of silica refractories for coke ovens and glass industries.
