Accomplishments
- Initiated MOCs (Management of Change) for the Pressure Swing Adsorber PSA N2 plant, as a lot of carbon molecular sieve particles were ruptured and converted down to powder
- Initiated MOCs for the instrument air dryer pre-filter (3 micron) and after-filter (0.01 micron); cartridge sizes were reduced so that most of the moisture accumulated, and fewer powder particles were carried forward into the system, with filter micron sizes reduced to achieve desired results
- Steam saving: reduction of steam consumption by using condensates generated inside the plant, which saved '20 lakh rupees annually'
- Mill water saving: Reduced the mill water consumption, which led to the savings of 'rupees 5 lakhs annually'
