NATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY COUNCIL

Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Productivity (AIP) the national training institute of NPC at Chennai has specifically designed series of 4 days intensive Preparatory Training Course to meet the wide range of knowledge, skills & competence required for the benefit of the candidates of the examination. The training courses were conducted at various places on various dates as given below.

The following topics were covered in the programme.

1. General Aspects of Energy Management and Energy Audit
2. Energy Efficiency in Thermal Utilities
3. Energy Efficiency in Electrical Utilities
4. Energy Performance Assessment for Equipment and Utility Systems

GHARDA CHEMICALS LTD

1. Meaning of Process Heat Recovery was explained.
2. By recovering heat from process equipments such as condensers in distillation/ fractionation systems, reaction vessels carrying out exothermic reactions the quantity of fuel to be burned can be reduced which will lead to reduction in the generation of green house gases. Simultaneously the total manufacturing cost of the product will reduce drastically, to become more competent in the international market.
3. Potential process heat recovery sources are identified as below:

 • Process Heat Recovery from Dicamba Plant:

In Dicamba Plant four sources are identified namely Xylene+DCP fractionation, KDCP Preparation, Ester Fractionation. The total heat quantity available is 4,46,000Kcal/Hr.

We can produce chilled water using Vapor Absorption Refrigeration system (VARS). The target refrigeration capacity is 100 TR.

To discuss this matter Mr. Abhijeet Sawant of M/s Thermax India Ltd has visited Lote. The proposed scheme was discussed in detail.

• Process Heat Recovery from TCAC Plant:

In TCAC Plant, all the chlorination reactions are exothermic in nature.

The calculated Heat of reaction from MCA to TCAC is 60,000 Kcal/KM of TCAC. We can implement hot water/ steam generation system using this process heat. We have to check the feasibility in lab scale / pilot scale first. For these trials pilot scale set up is ready & trials to be conducted to finalized the operational parameters & feasibility.

KARNATAKA RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED

Has successfully launched the Energy Conservation programme to observe Energy Conservation year. In this regard it organized seminar on Energy Conservation Five major firms dealing with several aspects of Energy Conservation have presented papers and explained the salient futures of their Energy Efficient products and they exhibited energy efficient equipment.

To propagate Energy Conservation message, Kannada version book of BEACON were distributed and also pamphlets were distributed through newspapers distributors, which has reached large masses.

An interactive meeting and plant visit of 25 students class X & XII of Kendriya Vidyalaya, HPCL, Jagiroad, Dist. Morigaon was organised on 23rd April 2005.

Students were explained about the various devices saving energy installed in the plant.

The 15 nos. of employees are participated in the aforesaid event on dated 28.04.2005 at HRD Auditorium. On the occasion nos. of Students, Management officers, evaluation committee members and members of EC Cell were present.

The valuable thoughts regarding Role of Society in Energy conservation is only possible –when the each individual should adopt Energy Conservation measures in their practice at workstations and home. This is the right way to support the nation and industry by reducing the manufacturing price by decreasing energy cost and installation of energy efficient devices. 03 employees were recognized winners by evaluation committee and the CHIEF GUEST DGM (Component) Mr. L.K. Goel appreciated them and spread the same sprit to entire unit.

The sectional head of Electrical Mr. O.N.Shukla, Dy. Manager Electrical Mr. K.K.Asthana, Mr. R. Goswami were present and thanks for extending support of participants, management officers and EC cell team.
