Emission Control in Induction Furnace: an Indian Regulatory Assessment
Induction furnace based foundries produce steel castings in a wide range. The products are used in different industries requiring strong and reliable parts. The emission from such furnace operation is intrinsically depending on the scrap used for melting as well as the products being manufactured and is varying in composition and magnitude. With the proliferation of environmental regulations, it is imperative to operate these units with adequate emission control devices. But the stack emission standard in India is stipulated only for particulate matter at 150 mg/Nm3 for such furnace operations. The emission control devices that are being deployed in many situations are not found to be techno-enviro-economically feasible on long-term operation. This article, therefore, aims at recommending the source-specific emission control options under Indian condition highlighting the process and emission details. This recommendation is considered as the equipment based standards. For framing of gaseous emission standards, concerted study is finally, reported to be very much demanded for quantifying the different gaseous emissions from different sources considering the plurality of emission-effect on living objects.
