About Me
I, Satyendra Kumar Sarna, am associated with the steel industry since 1965 (over 54 years). I have worked in integrated steel plants for 40 years. During this long period of association, I was associated with all the aspects and all the areas (from cradle to gate) of the steel industry which includes site selection for greenfield plants, designs (from concept to commissioning), project, operation, process control, maintenance, failure analysis, all levels of management, quality control, research and development (R&D), safety and environment management, area of waste utilization, technical audit/evaluation of the plants, and training and development etc.I contributed a lot in the turnarounds of Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) during the period 2000 -2003 and Neelachal Ispat Nigam Limited (NINL) during the period 2003-2006. During my tenure as executive director (works) at Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), RINL achieved above rated capacity production and specific consumptions at level of international norms.
I am a metallurgist who uses his thorough theoretical knowledge of metallurgy into practice. I have led from front several projects at Bokaro Steel Plant, VSP and NINL. These projects had helped these plants in enhancing operational performance.
