BF–BOF Integrated route · Kalinganagar, Asia Pacific, India

GEM wiki

Mesco Steel Kalinganagar makes steel by the integrated route: iron ore is smelted into liquid hot metal in a blast furnace, then refined into crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace. The liquid steel is solidified into semi-finished shapes by continuous casting. The plant has a crude steel capacity of about 1.2 million tonnes per year. Its main products are pig iron, long products, plate, flat.
