• Established pilot scale pot sinter plant at JSW Steel, Dolvi using the concepts of reverse engineering. Furthermore, to cool the gas from 500°C to 50°C by designing a gas scrubber. This project saved ~INR 2.5 CR• With LEAN SIX SIGMA methodology, I have increased the yield of iron making by 173% from the baseline which saved more than INR 2.7 CR• Modified the machine drawing with the help of scientific literature survey and implemented in commercial plant which increases the plant productivity• “Effect of oxygen enrichment on top layer sinter properties”, ISIJ International, Vol.61, (2021) pp.79-85• “Effect of hot water addition on granulation and sinter properties”, Transactions of the Indian Institute of Metals (2021).
