Steel Melting Shop-1 (SMS-1) is one of the prime shops of Bhilai Steel Plant, which has a capacity of producing 2.5 MT of crude steel. It follows the conventional route in which steel is produced through twin hearth furnaces and is cast as ingot moulds. An alternate cost effective arrangement was designed, developed and implemented for the uninterrupted direct supply of chemically treated water from water chemical treatment plant (WCTP).
