Sri Rama Steels & Coal

We are reckoned as one of the most astounding Coal suppliers in India. We supply diversified range imported steam Coal. Coal is believed to be formed during the carboniferous era. In the earlier days of our earth, the plants that lived then eventually died and coalification began. The layers of the plant matter died and started accumulating at the bottom of the seabed. Conversion of these organic matters due to the action of pressure, temperature, and a hundreds of years went into the making of this wonderful energy fuels. They helped in trapping atmospheric carbon in the ground in huge peat bogs that eventually were covered and deeply buried by sediments as a result of which those plants remain transformed into fuel. With the passing time, the chemical and physical properties of the plant remains were changed by geological action to create a solid matter-Coal.

The cement industry is the largest consumers of Coal along with power and metallurgy. Cement industries rely on Coal to very great extent as Coal is the only fuel source available. The Coal used for cement industry deserves satisfaction of some specific characteristics.  

Coal plays a very important role in steel industry. Global steel production is dependent on Coal. Modernized direct Iron making technologies permits the use of Coal directly (pulverized Coal combustion concept) without the need for metallurgical Coke, this provides lower capital cost compared to the blast furnace/Coke oven, and have the advantage to offer the economy of small scale 

Coke is also manufactured from Coal. The Coal purchased for Coke making is different from those used in other processes. Certain Coal known as Coking Coal, with specific composition & specification, only is suitable for the manufacturing of a quality Coke. The Coking Coal must deliver a consistent calorific value, be reasonably low in ash yield and meet environmental standards for sulfur and nitrogen oxide emissions.

Steam Coal also known as thermal Coal is used in power stations to generate electricity. Around 75% of electricity consumed in India is generated from thermal power plants and about 65% of it is generated from Coal based thermal power plant, these ratios give a picture of demand of Coal in electricity generation sector in India.
