SMIORE strives for fully-integrated operations with a vision to achieve self-sufficiency and optimum operational efficiency through forward and backward integrations. It is this philosophy that guided the Company to set up a captive thermal (coal-based) power plant and further expansion of coke production using newly added coke oven plant. The Company is conscious of the massive power requirements in ferroalloy production and other downstream operations and has envisioned switching to cleaner energy sources to arrest adverse environmental impact.
By setting the coke oven plant with integrated Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB), the Company has taken major steps towards producing metallurgical coke and generating cleaner energy for the power requirement of ferroalloy manufacturing operations.
