Sesa Goa has delayed commissioning of its metallurgical coke plant's expansion facility at Amona village by three weeks after two high-capacity diesel burners misfired continuously for two days, leaving thick black smoke in the air.
An unexpected misfiring in two high-capacity diesel burners resulted in generation of soot on August 17, which dispersed into the atmosphere. The burners were set right and the process was continued. However, despite precautions, two burners misfired again at around 11 pm on August 18.
