Report On Performance Evaluation of Bag Filters
A study on Performance Evaluation of bag filters was carried out for a 2.1 mtpa cement plant which covered the following aspects:- Dust escape from source hood
- Duct layout & routing
- Vent point ducting
- Material fall height
- Speed of conveying system
- Filter bag cleaning system
- Emission in stack
- ID fan performance
This Study has come out with the broad recommendations with regard to inadequate capacity, Low ID fan efficiency, Inlet chute design, Ducting design, Bag filter discharge equipment, quality of bag(Cloth of bag), Hood designs etc.
Report On Plant Technical Health Audit
A plant technical health audit study to assess the condition of different major equipment, plant availability, downtime analysis of individual core equipment; review of existing maintenance practices for mechanical and electrical & instrumentation as well as study of environmental aspects was carried out for a large size cement plant. The periodic plant health audit is vital for any cement plant to reduce downtime and maximize productivity resulting in minimizing the cost. Based on the Studies, the recommendations were formulated in short, medium and long term for improvement.Workshops/Training Programmes held at different places on various topics:
- "Environment Management” at New Delhi
- "Sustainable development of cement plants” at Raipur
- “Improvement opportunities through emerging technologies” at Ahmedabad.
- “Innovative sustainable strategies for competitive marking for cement & concrete ” at Mumbai.
- “Cost Reduction Opportunities through Emerging Technologies in Cement Manufacturing” at Guwahati.
- “Global Trends in Cost Reduction Strategies for cement Manufacturing” at Udaipur and Oman Cement Company , Oman,
- "Maintenance & Critical Process Interface" at J K Cement Works, Mangrol.
