“Sir,
This is to inform you that we are setting up another Induction Finance (IF) with similar capacity as a standby machinery (Furnace unit) in our existing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) located at Industrial Area Focal Point, Mandi Gobindgarh.
Please note the following points :-
1. This is only a STAND BY furnace (without accessories-the existing set up of accessories will serve the purpose).
2. As the operating switch is same, Only one furnace, either the Electric ARC Furnace (EAF) or the newly set up Induction Furnace (IF) can be run at any given time.
3. No production capacity will be increased in any case, as only one furnace will be operational at any given time. Both the furnaces cannot run together at one time.
Please allow us to set up/ operate one same capacity Induction Furnace (IF) in our existing infrastructure.
Same APCD as approved by PCTE will be used, which is already above prescribed parameters (copy enclosed).
Also please find our Data Analysis of furnace running till date, confirming low emission norms till date.
