Abstract

This study aims to analyze the practices of iron ore pelletizing and Pig iron manufacturing units; considered as major value-added process facilities of iron and steel manufacturing plants. To achieve the concepts of cleaner production and sustainability demands, estimation of eco-efficiency of value-added process facility (VAPF). The technical procedure adopted was the case study; the data collection was done through direct observation and literature review. The main results were obtained from the analysis of company reports available to the public. The study concludes that the eco-efficiency of value-added process facilities increases when the VAPF adopts the utilization policy to make the ancillary products of higher market value. The existing value-added process facility shows the 74% eco-efficiency whereas the VAPF 4 shows 85% Eco-efficiency.
