Effective Condensate & Flash Steam Recovery in the Chemical Industries Condensate and flash steam recovery in chemical industry is always a big challenge may be due to lack of knowledge about condensate commercial value, remote locations of chemical units inside the plant and potential contamination chances of condensate. Being one of the purest forms of water and rich heat source, captive utilization of condensate in the units or as makeup to cooling tower should be avoided. Recovery of condensate using steam operated condensate transfer pump instead of conventional electrical pump for pure condensate and using condensate contamination detection system for potential prone to impure condensate ensures effective utility cost reduction.

n India, typical condensate recovery in chemical and pharmaceutical industries ranges between 30 to 55per cent. Average direct steam consumption, this means that knowingly or unknowingly, around 35 to 70 per cent of the condensate, along with significant quantity of heat is being drained to increase the load of the effluent treatment plant (ETP).

Affecting the Condensate Recovery Following factors play a vital role that becomes hinderance in recovering the condensate.

Energy cost is the major concern in Indian industries as it directly affects the bottom line of the plant economy. Steam being one of the most widely used utility, the maximum utilization of the steam and effective recovery of the remaining heat in the form of condensate is a need of an hour to survive and grow in the market.

•

Remotely located units in the plant

•

Less quantity of condensate making it practically non-feasible to recover

•

Scarcity of the water thereby imposing the use of condensate locally

•

Lack of knowledge about the value of condensate

Out of all the above and many more, “Lack

Also, generally, in India, location of chemical industries is in the remote, where water is always one of the scarcest utility to make it available. Even though the borewell or ground water is one of the option, its hardness and TDS is always a big concern as it not only increases the chemical and other treatment costs but also creates major damages due to scaling. Hence, being important WR to its importance as a purest form of water as well as rich source of heat energy, it is inevitable to recover the condensate. 6 | October-November 2017 | Chemical Products Finder

of Knowledge” about the condensate ranks the first. Even at most of the industries, it has been observed that the condensate is stored in the tank outside the unit and pumped electrically to cater the make-up water demand of the nearby cooling towers. This not only wastes the pure condensate with its associated heat energy but also result in increasing the load on the cooling tower itself...!!! The recovery of the condensate can be classified into two simple categories

Major Areas of Concern in the Conventional System • No flash steam recovery, which contributes to around 40 to 50 per cent of the heat content in the flash steam

Figure 2:

1) Pure Condensate Recovery 2) Prone to be Impure Condensate Recovery 1) Pure Condensate Recovery This is feasible where steam is used for indirect heating the process fluid and virtually no chances of product or system generated contaminations observed. Typical applications include the condensate recovery from Fluid Bed Dryer (FBD), Hot

Figure 3: 8 | October-November 2017 | Chemical Products Finder

Water Generation (HWG) systems, Hot water batteries, first effect of the Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) for ETP Unit, etc. Few chemical industries have separate arrangement for steam coils and other process fluids like chilled water, cooling water, brine, hot water, etc, from which the pure condensate may be collected. Conventional System Conventionally, the condensate generated after indirect heating is collected in the tank located normally outside the unit and finally pumped to the feed water tank in the boiler house or any relevant desired location. The schematic of the same is shown in Figure 1. As schematically represented, huge amount of heat energy is wasted due to improper handling of flash steam, ie, generated due to considerable highpressure condensate getting exposed to atmospheric pressure. Improper mixing of the hot condensate with the cold makeup water into the feed water tank also contributes to significant heat loss. Also, unnecessary make-up water intake caters to considerable amount of cooling of the condensate in the feed water tank and it becomes important to address the same in order to minimize captive consumption of steam in the feed water tank.

•

High operating cost due to running of electrical pump

•

High maintenance cost of the electrical pump being mechanical in operation as well as due to handling of condensate with high temperature

•

High capital cost due to requirement of tank with insulation, electrical pumps (at least 1 working and 1 standby) with proper weatherproof covering

Recommendation for the Pure Condensate It is highly recommended to generate and utilize the flash steam by using the properly sized flash vessel and recover the condensate by means of steam or compressed air operated condensate transfer pump. A simple level transmitter based make-up water controlling system with negligible investment may pay very high returns in terms of avoiding the unnecessary intake of cold water intake. Proposed system of the effective flash steam and condensate recovery and ensuring its proper mixing in the boiler feed tank may be schematically represented is shown in Figure 2. Significance of the Steam-operated Condensate Recovery System • Intrinsically safe for use in hazardous areas •

No electricity required - negligible operating costs

•

Single spring design and no rotating parts ensures balance movement of float due to uniform expansion/ contraction

•

Only movable part - minimum chances of failure

•

All stainless-steel internals give excellent corrosion resistance for long trouble-free service

•

Negligible cost of operation

•

or very less conductivity. However, after contamination, the conductivity increases in multiples. When the conductivity increases beyond minimum acceptable limit (normally termed as a set point of the PID controller), the controller signals to divert or drain the impure condensate thereby eliminating the chances to get it into the boiler system. Significant of the Condensate Contamination Detection System • Can differentiate and handle contamination even upto few micro Siemens (µS)

Figure 4:

2) Recovery of the Condensate Prone to be Impure The major concern of most of the industries lies in utilizing the condensate from the process equipment, which, due to its process chemicals or even the process operations, is very much susceptible to get contaminated. Chemical reactors, jacketed vessels, vapour collected from multiple effect evaporator (usually 2 nd effect onwards), chemical processes heating to highly acidic products or intermediaries (eg, HF heating, Oxalate warm bath, etc). Factors Resisting the Contaminated Condensate to Drain to ETP • Due to huge number of reactors, high quantum of condensate and its associated heat energy may get wasted • Draining the condensate to ETP increases load on the ETP thereby increases effluent treatment cost • Mixing of high temperature condensate in the ETP increases the efforts to cool down to desired temperature prior to treating it • Stringent government norms limit the quantum of liquid discharge from the plant. This also increases the number of processes required to treat the effluent. 10 | October-November 2017 | Chemical Products Finder

Typically, the prone to impure condensate is drained locally. The schematic of the same is shown in Figure 3. Recommendation for the Potential Impure Condensate Looking towards the commercial value of the condensate getting drained due to fear of probable contamination, it is recommended to install a highly reliable, efficient yet cost-effective system that will help to collect and transfer the good quality of condensate and divert or drain the contaminated condensate which may go to drain or for the further treatment of purification. Condensate Contamination Detection System (CCDS) It is a system, ie, based on the simple principle of change in the conductivity of the condensate when it is pure or contaminated. Normally, the contamination is either product contamination (like process fluid – HF, Lye, Oxalate, Chelates, etc) or the corrosion of the pipes like oxides of Iron (Fe2O3, FeO) or minerals, etc. Normally, condensate, being one of the purest forms of water, has negligible

•

Recovered condensate followed by properly installed condensate and flash steam recovery system virtually recovers complete mass and heat content in the condensate

•

Fully automatic system, no manual intervention needed

•

If required, system cleaning maintenance can be done online.

Proposed System with Condensate Contamination Detection System Practically, by installing the condensate contamination detection system, is shown in Figure 4, condensate recovery may be increased from 15 to 40 per cent even. The typical payback ranges from couple of months to less than a year depending upon the condensate load, chances of contamination and the severity of the contamination. ◘

Building Applications Knowledge Unlock Value in Pump Selection

can

Leveraging this expertise solves customer problems and creates a sustainable competitive advantage

n industrial business-to-business equipment markets, manufacturers are faced with an increasingly difficult operating environment. Energy-price volatility, the increasing costs of regulatory compliance and public demands for improved environmental stewardship in regards to scarce resources are three prominent factors that are now impacting industrial organizations in the United States and around the world.

makes the case that organizations that build superior applications expertise in their markets can gain a significant competitive advantage.

In confronting these challenges, manufacturers have to adapt in numerous ways, including investing in next-generation technologies. For example, industrial producers, such as paint and resin manufacturers or oil-and-gas refinery operators, are investing in advanced technologies that will help them achieve their business goals. Smart SCADA systems can reduce downtime though proactive monitoring, and energy-efficient pump technology delivers operating cost savings, hedges against energyprice fluctuations and helps companies meet their environmental stewardship goals by reducing carbon emissions.

• Energy-Price Volatility

However, the adoption of any new technology can dramatically increase the complexity of business operations at a time when cost pressures and economic headwinds threaten to curtail growth and profitability. Further, these technology investments require knowledge and expertise – specialized knowledge and expertise – to build, operate and maintain. Many industrial producers, like most businesses, face resource constraints and are operating with leaner staffing levels than ever before. As a result, they are finding they do not possess the in-house expertise to effectively select, build, operate and maintain increasingly complex equipment and systems, and often are forced to turn to third-party organizations with specialized expertise for support. Pump manufacturers in particular, along with their related distributors, engineering firms, consultants and other third parties, are increasingly stepping up to supply this critical applications expertise to their end-user customers. This white paper will illustrate how properly deployed applications expertise can unlock value for industrial producers and 12 | October-November 2017 | Chemical Products Finder

The Challenge Industrial manufacturers are facing an increasingly difficult business environment, one that is often impacted by these and other critical factors: • Regulatory Compliance Legislation and Associated Costs • Public/Customer Expectations for Enhanced Resource Stewardship Let us take a closer look at all three. Energy-Price Volatility Price volatility is defined in the energy industry as how quickly or widely electricity and/or natural gas prices change over a given time period. Prices are governed by supply and demand, where demand is impacted by factors such as weather patterns, economic conditions and consumer behaviour. In recent years, price volatility has increased in the energy market. To protect against this volatility, many companies “hedge,” or buy a commodity at a price that is locked in over a set period of time. While this may improve peace of mind for the operator, hedging is costly and

does not create value for the operator beyond reducing energy-cost volatility. The severity, and potential impact, of price volatility is such that in its 2015 report titled, “The New Normal,” the World Energy Council (WEC) opined that, “The uncertain impact of volatile energy and commodity prices…has now established itself as the number-one issue for energy leaders worldwide.” The good news is that global energy leaders have recognized this challenge and are beginning to take measures to address it. According to Francois Moisan in WEC’s triennial 2016 report, “Energy Efficiency: A Straight Path Towards Energy Sustainability,” “The introduction of energy-efficiency policies and measures has been growing fast around the world. The increasing number of countries with an energy-efficiency law…signifies a strengthening and consolidation of the industrial commitment to energy efficiency.” The report does also indicate, however, that “despite the significant advances, much more can and should be done to improve the efficiency of energy production and use.” This is extremely noteworthy for industrial manufacturers because, as the WEC also notes, “industrial electric motors and electric motor-driven systems consume almost half of the total electricity and account for 70 per cent of the total (amount of)

Motoring Ahead The evolving design and operation of motors presents a specific example of how next-generation technology can help manufacturers lower their energy usage, meet environmental-responsibility thresholds and reduce operating costs. To address the operation of motors and how best to improve it, the International Energy Agency (IEA) created the Energy Efficiency End-Use Equipment (4E) working group, which consists of representatives from 12 countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the US.

electricity consumed in industry.” For many industrial companies, where energy is a significant portion of operating costs, price volatility will continue to be a challenge. These companies will be self-served to evaluate energy-saving technology, but will only reap the greatest rewards if they do so by taking into account the intricacies of their equipment in the specific applications in which they operate. Only by developing and using the proper applications expertise will they be able to identify and choose the technology that is best suited to mitigate the cost risks associated with energy volatility. Regulatory Compliance Regulatory compliance is by definition a necessity for businesses in the modern world. These laws collectively shape the environment

in which businesses operate. While addressing the effectiveness of regulations is outside the scope of this paper, from a cost perspective, the number of federal regulations in the US has been growing steadily for several decades, requiring investments by many businesses in order to maintain compliance. In fact, a study by George Mason University shows that “the effects of federal regulation on value added to the (US) GDP for a panel of 22 industries… over a period of 35 years…dampened (GDP by approximately) 0.8 per cent per year since 1980, eliminating $4 trillion in growth by 2012.” Two prominent examples in the industrialmanufacturing universe are the motorefficiency regulations that have been developed by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in Europe. The bottom line is that

In late 2015, the 4E group released a study, “Energy Efficiency Roadmap for Electric Motors and Motor Systems,” that indicated that since 1995, “efficient motors have gained an increasing share of the global market, assisted by a framework of international standards that classifies motors according to their energy efficiency.” Motors were placed in one of four classifications – E0 (least efficient), E1, E2 and E3 (most efficient) – which created a common technical platform that underpins national policies that are targeted at increasing the implementation of high-efficiency motors in manufacturing operations. The four classifications form the basis of minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) that are now inherent to most advanced economies, as well as to many developing nations. The findings show that the global sales of motors that fall into the two most-efficient classifications – E2 and E3 – accounted for roughly 70 per cent of all motor sales in 2015, after standing at less than 10 per cent of market share in 1995. This is significant because the IEA expects that the market for motors is expected to expand by 2.5 per cent annually through 2019, which will create opportunities for the further introduction of higher-efficiency motors into both mature and developing countries and markets. However, as the IEA notes, the impact of more efficient motors on overall market efficiency is gradual due to the motor’s extended operational lifetime. To speed up the increase in overall efficiency, several countries are considering regulations that will enforce MEPS by encouraging the early retirement of inefficient motors.

A View from the Field For more than 100 years, Houston, TX-based DXP Enterprises, Inc, which began life as the Southern Engine and Pump Company back in 1908, has served its customers by focusing on product expertise, technical service, and maintenance, repair, operating and production (MROP) supply-chain management. Skip Giessing, President of DXP Enterprises’ Rotating Equipment Division, provided his views on how application expertise can be used as the foundation for selecting the proper pumping technology and systems. Question: How would you define applications expertise, in your own words? Answer: Applications expertise is the ability to properly choose, size and configure the right product for any specific customer application. This means taking into consideration customer specifications and requirements, customer preferences, pump performance, energy consumption, reliability, ease of installation and cost. Q: To what extent does your company amass and utilize expert knowledge in order to service your customers? A: DXP does this in three ways. First, we have experts that are centralized inside our sales staff at our headquarters in Houston who are available to assist any DXP branch location. This inside sales team is divided up into three different levels of expertise: basic, medium and high specification. Second, we have applications experts located locally at many of our larger branch locations. Third, we have a 24/7/365 Customer First Center located in Houston that can be accessed by any customer, anywhere in the world, at any time for assistance. All of these applications experts receive continuous training and from time to time accompany outside sales personnel on sales calls in order to make sure they understand their customers’ needs completely. Q: In what specific ways does this knowledge help create value (cost avoidance, failure avoidance, increased revenue, etc) for your customers? A: Customer-spend reduction and maximum reliability have become more important for the sophisticated customer. Revenue is a function of uptime, so unscheduled downtimes cannot be tolerated. Customers also seek to optimize the suitability of their equipment and reduce energy consumption as much as possible. Maintenance and operations budgets are also receiving much more scrutiny and solution providers like DXP are relied upon to continuously work with their customers to help reduce these costs. Finally, capital-spending specifications have become more detailed in terms of performance optimization and reliability, as well. Q: With regard to applications expertise, how do you see the relationship between PSG (the manufacturer) and your company (the distributor) helping to best deliver value to the end user (your customer)? A: It starts with ample communication. Applications experts can help PSG make improvements to their products, ensuring that PSG stays in step with customer requirements. For example, this can take the form of product design and construction improvements, such as materials of construction and component redesign or upgrade, or the design of additional sizes or models that better satisfy customer needs. Applications experts are as much the Voice of the Customer as are the outside salespersons, repair and service experts, and the customer itself. Q: To what extent does your company’s pumping-system knowledge contribute to your firm’s success in the market? What role does applications expertise play in your competitive advantage? A: Customers are relying more and more on their key suppliers to help them meet their corporate goals and objectives. DXP relies on applications expertise as a key competitive differentiation. The experience and knowledge of expert application engineers, teamed up with outside sales engineers who also have applications expertise and a closer, more personal feel for customers’ imperatives, motivations and preferences, ensures that DXP will always provide the customer with a tailored solution that is the best for his needs. Having this capability available 24/7/365 is another key differentiator.

regulations are an unavoidable requirement for doing business in almost any jurisdiction in the world. Advances in technology that have been geared toward meeting the demands of a stricter regulatory environment (See Sidebar: Motoring Ahead) will help industrial producers navigate the compliance realm, but will be optimized only if they are applied with the appropriate applications expertise. In fact, the misapplication of a pump (eg, incorrectly sizing the pump for its job) will likely lead to far greater energy consumption than can be saved from improvements in motor technology. Expectations for Resource Stewardship A phrase that has gained in stature over the past two decades in all forms of business is “corporate social responsibility,” or CSR, which is commonly characterized as “business practices involving initiatives that benefit society.” An article in the June 18, 2016, issue of the International Journal of Business and Management titled, “Corporate Social Responsibility and Consumer Buying Behaviour in Emerging Markets,” highlighted that “consumers now want companies to behave ethically in addition to providing quality product(s)...” The obvious implication is that those companies that are perceived to be inattentive or irresponsible stewards regarding shared resources (eg, community water supplies) risk a political and social backlash that could impact the company’s standing and ability to do business in the communities in which it operates. Therefore, it should not be surprising that a report from Harvard Business School titled, “The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Investment Recommendations,” revealed that “recent research shows spending money on corporate social responsibility is no longer seen as a detriment to a company’s profitability. Stock analysts now view such expenditures as essential to a company’s long-term brand and value.” In short, to improve their CSR standing, more and more companies are investing additional time and resources toward incorporating new technologies, changing operating practices and even adjusting business strategies in order to better assuage the corporate-responsibility demands of the buying public. Indeed, these resources can only be optimized by developing and applying expert knowledge of the business, its systems and the local environment in which it operates. Businesses that develop and use this knowledge will help satisfy the needs of

Determining Pump Life-Cycle Costs According to the Hydraulic Institute manual titled, “Pump Life Cycle Costs: A Guide to LCC Analysis for Pumping Systems,” LCC analysis takes into consideration the cost of purchasing, installing, operating, maintaining and disposing of all of the system’s components during their operational lifetime. To this end the Hydraulic Institute has created an equation that identifies and quantifies all parts of a pumping system’s total LCC: LCC = Cic + Cin + Ce + Co + Cm + Cs + Cenv + Cd where: C = a cost element, and ic = initial cost or purchase price (eg, of the pump, system, piping, auxiliary equipment, etc) in = installation and commission e = energy costs o = operating costs (the labour costs for normal system supervision) m = maintenance costs (eg, parts, worker hours, etc) s = downtime (loss of production) env = environmental costs d = decommissioning These costs should also include the costs associated with any applicable loans, depreciation and taxes. When used as a tool for comparing alternative solutions, the LCC process will indicate the most cost-effective one within the limits of available data. When applying the evaluation process or selecting pumps and other equipment, the best information concerning the output and operation of the plant must be obtained if a true picture of the total LCC is to be achieved. Using bad, incomplete or imprecise information will result in an incorrect assessment, which will be of limited benefit to the operator. While the LCC process will not guarantee a particular result, it does allow plant personnel to make a reasonable comparison between several unique alternatives.

the public while achieving positive outcomes in resource stewardship. The Solution So how do industrial manufacturers address the challenges of price volatility, regulatory compliance and resource stewardship, and still successfully achieve their business goals? Many companies are turning to technology for assistance. In a February 2013 article titled, “The Dawn of the Smart Factory,” IndustryWeek magazine detailed a looming manufacturing nirvana known as the “Smart Factory.” This factory of the future will be “a paradise of efficiency where defect and downtime, waste and waiting are long-forgotten issues of a longforgotten age.” The driving force behind this phenomenon would be plant managers and chief intelligence officers who work together to create a seamless blend of data and production that will “illuminate every turn of every machine, every cut of every blade, every move of every piece in its global dance to deliver.” While the hyperbole in this article is heavy, the article’s basic premise was echoed in a 2015 study by MarketsandMarkets, a publisher of 18 | October-November 2017 | Chemical Products Finder

premium market-research reports. In its piece titled, “Smart Factory Market by Technology, Component, Industry and Geography – Global Forecast to 2022,” MarketsandMarkets researchers found that the smart-factory market, in terms of value, is expected to reach $74.8 billion by 2022, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4 per cent between 2016 and 2022.

Germany, a reduction in operational complexity would boost earnings by more than €30 billion (US $ 34.9 billion) and increase earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by 3 per cent to 5 per cent. The ultimate challenge for a manufacturer is to learn how new technologies can improve his or her operations and find the best, most efficient way to extract the benefits. This must be done while simultaneously not allowing the inherent complexities of these new systems to hinder or raise the cost of business processes. This is where the accumulation and deployment of applications expertise becomes immensely critical. In fact, Skip Giessing, President of DXP Enterprises’ Rotating Equipment Division, a company that has been supplying industrial pumps since 1908, sees no reason that the demand for and importance of applications expertise won’t continue to grow in coming years. “I believe there will be an increased demand for outstanding supplier applications expertise as suppliers and manufacturers work together to tie technology to process-equipment networking, proactive health monitoring and reliability,” he said. “The huge customer spend reduction will come when all the key equipment within a manufacturing plant is interconnected and ‘talking with one another’ and adjusting to changes, etc. Customers will need to know and understand how changes affect equipment performance and reliability and how and what to do in order to maintain maximum productivity through reliable uptime and equipment efficiency.” So, what exactly is applications expertise? At its most basic level, it is:

“The emergence of smart factories can be seen from the period of change toward cohesive control of the machineries, processes and resources with local intelligence,” read the report. “The increasing focus on saving energy and improving process efficiency, along with the integration of engineering and manufacturing by the adoption of IoT (the ‘Internet of Things’) is expected to foster the growth of the smartfactory market.”

• Specialized knowledge pertaining to the use of certain products in specific conditions. This knowledge can be used to create better business outcomes and, therefore, be the foundation for gaining a competitive advantage. As the complexity of the production system increases, the value that can be unlocked from applications expertise also increases.

While the smart-factory operating principles promise to be a boon for industrial manufacturers who implement them, they will raise the complexity of the operation, which poses its own set of unique challenges. In fact, according to strategic-management consulting firm A T Kearney’s “How Much Does Complexity Really Cost?” survey of the top 30 companies in

The graphic on the next page illustrates, the type of expert knowledge varies across the value chain, so there are ample opportunities for increased collaboration among pump manufacturers and distributors, and among distributors and end users, to strengthen expert knowledge and enhance value creation for all involved parties.

Tools for Managing Costs To better understand how applications expertise can help the operator realize the importance of improving equipment productivity, efficiency and effectiveness, ExxonMobil produced a Technical Help Desk Tip that spelled out the ways to improve what it called “Overall Equipment Effectiveness,” or OEE. OEE is measured as a ratio of a plant’s actual output compared to optimal output, using the equation:

Many factory managers consider only the up-front capital cost of a pumping system in their decision process, which can end up being a costly choice for their business in the long run. According to the Hydraulic Institute’s “Pump Life Cycle Costs: A Guide to LCC Analysis for Pumping Systems” manual, which it developed in conjunction with Europump, “the single most important factor in minimizing a pumping system’s LCC is proper pumping system design.” (See Sidebar: Determining Pump Life-Cycle Costs).

OEE = Availability x Performance x Quality,

Other design factors that impact the pumping system’s total LCC include pipe diameters, lengths, bends, elbows, fittings and valve types, which can increase friction loss; correct sizing of the pump, wherein selecting a larger pump than necessary just “to be safe” will result in the pump operating away from the best efficiency point and requiring more energy consumption; the use of throttling valves to control flow rather than pump speed; and application requirements such as flow rate head pressure and fluid viscosity. These are all areas where applications expertise can aid the designer and installer of the system. In fact, for this reason, many manufacturers look to third-party distributors, consultants or pump manufacturers for help in system design and pump selection.

where: • Availability represents how frequently a machine is available for its intended use, which can be affected by equipment failure, unplanned maintenance, material shortages and changeover times • Performance is a measure of speed loss or the number of units a machine is rated to produce per hour versus the number of units it actually produces • Quality represents the amount of scrap material produced by a particular machine, with rejected materials, products that fall short of quality standards and any items that require rework all affecting overall quality. The conclusion in the article is that the operator “can realize significant efficiency gains by calculating OEE for particular pieces of equipment throughout the plant.” Doing this will also make it easier to identify where particular pieces of equipment are operating to expected standards and norms for efficiency and reliability – and makes the operator aware of the areas where operational improvement will result in the greatest recovery of efficiency. Another useful tool for operators is the total lifecycle cost (LCC) model for pump technologies.

Conclusion Industrial manufacturers may feel that they are being bombarded from all sides when they are confronted with growing demands to better confront and control energy-price volatility; meet the strict tenets of expanding regulatory-compliance legislation; and satisfy both the public and their customers who are ratcheting up expectations regarding improving environmental stewardship. While these responsibilities can be daunting, they are also a significant – and necessary – part of the

Manufacturers must satisfy these demands while simultaneously running a profitable business. With that in mind, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the manufacturers who will be successful in the future will be the ones who develop and utilize applications expertise, especially when selecting critical pumping technologies and systems. To do this, industrial manufacturers and their channel partners – the distributors, consultants and engineering firms that work hand-in-hand with them– are committing to building applications expertise in their industries. This expertise, when thoughtfully applied to essential system challenges, can unlock significant value for the manufacturer and the end user alike. Therefore, companies that build superior applications expertise will create a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace in the future.

How to Design a Compressed Air System

hen it comes to designing a compressed air system for vehicle service shops, there are several system requirements to look into. Depending on what kind of work a shop does and how many people are using the equipment, there are numerous compressed air system options and design qualities that can make a shop efficient and safe. Shops should secure baseline readings on an air system’s load profile before any renovation or new build. Original equipment manufacturers (OEM), such as Ingersoll Rand, can easily conduct one of these readings via an Intellisurvey – a seven-day assessment of an air system with data logging equipment to determine a system’s load profile. The results of the readings can help shops determine the right compressed air system to set up based on the current shop needs and conditions, as well as any improvements that could be beneficial to improving a shop’s bottom line.

reciprocating units are ideal for small service shops with intermittent tool use but can also power large equipment such as a vehicle lift. Rotary screw compressors are designed for shops that use compressed air continuously and need more power than a reciprocating unit can support. A rotary-screw compressor is ideal for larger shops with more than three service technicians and can support several tools and equipment running all at once. If you do choose to upgrade equipment, it is advisable to keep any old compressor tanks for extra capacity and back-up. Even an older, noisy compressor can have a role in the shop. You can diffuse the sound by: • Relocating the compressor different area of the shop,

• Building an enclosure around the compressor to muffle the sound, or • Remotely plumb the intake so that the sound is reduced.

Piping Configuration If you are expanding to more space in the shop or building a larger shop, it may be time to consider installing or reconfiguring your compressed air piping to make sure all equipment is getting equal air power. Using a loop formation rather than one, single pipe that spans across the entire shop will ensure that the same pressure and flow is delivered to each point of use. This is a fundamental detail, but often overlooked. If shops need new piping or need to reconfigure its current structure, it is important to think about the following: • Consider installing a new system regulator. Not all systems need to run at the max pressure an air compressor is capable of at all times, and a regulator will help output only the pressure needed. This ensures the system runs at premium efficiency. Take advantage of any piping reconfiguration to add a system pressure regulator. • Do research on piping materials.

Compressor Options If you are building a shop from the groundup and are looking to purchase a new compressor, it is important to consider all of the equipment options and shop requirements in order to make the right purchase. Some questions to ask are: • What are you using the compressor to power? • How many people will be using power from the compressor at once? • What is the power supply at the shop? Do you need a transformer to support the air compressor you are evaluating? If you do not know, an electrician can help determine the power requirements a compressor needs and what the shop can accommodate. These questions can help you choose the right compressor capacity whether it be a small reciprocating unit or an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor. Generally, small

Distributing the airflow in a balanced manner throughout the production line of your shop floor. Aluminum is recommended for vehicle service applications, though there are a number of other options. Some piping materials are more susceptible to corrosion and higher pressure loss. For example, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material is the lowest cost material, but it can also result in a safety hazard. The piping can shatter if PVC lines are over pressurized. In addition, synthetic compressor lubricant can make the glue on PVC connections deteriorate, resulting in the piping coming apart. Contact an OEM that manufactures quickfit piping systems that are user-friendly and easy to install, such as SimplAir from Ingersoll Rand. Shops that install piping in-house save resources on labour. OEM technicians are also available to help install compressed air systems. Air Quality and Condensate Removal Air cleanliness and filtration are especially important in a shop environment because of all of the equipment that compressors power. Clean, dry air, free of debris and moisture, keeps pneumatic shop tools

and equipment running reliably for a long time. Effective compressed air drying also has a significant impact on the quality and integrity on vehicle service applications. It directly impacts end results, including paint finishes, where you can see issues such as fish eyes and orange peels. Tire filling applications need clean dry air with the use of tire pressure monitoring systems and there are long term benefits of keeping the air dry and clean for long rim and tire life. Consider adding dryer equipment to a compressed air system to assure that the system is outputting high-quality air. While much thought and calculation often goes into the selection of an air compressor to assure the necessary volume of air is generated, selecting the proper dryer will have a significant impact on the quality of the air that is ultimately delivered.

Ingersoll Rand offers three flexible service programs that give customers the opportunity to have expertly-trained technicians oversee the service, repair and maintenance of all compressed air assets in their shops. The programs are designed to help customers reduce total cost of ownership throughout their equipment lifecycles.

Services and Maintenance Costs of downtime usually far outweigh the cost of maintenance services. When purchasing equipment, consider a maintenance plan provided by an OEM.

Mass Spectrometry Stacks Up in Determining Flare Gas Heat Values Refiners are vetting various technologies for analyzing and monitoring flare stack gases to narrow the field of applicable technologies. Among them is mass spectrometry, which offers several significant advantages over other technologies in terms of accuracy, reliability, and ease of maintenance and operation.

etroleum refineries generate waste gases that need to be controlled safely, economically and in a manner that protects both the environment and public health. Because not all waste gas can be eliminated or recovered, various technologies have been used to reduce their impact on the environment. Among the most effective and commonly used technology is flaring. Flares are specifically designed to combust gases. Many flares employ steam or air to promote the mixing of oxygen within the vent gas to ensure efficient combustion without smoke. Many parameters affect combustion efficiency. Among the most important is the heating value of the gases to be combusted. Determining the heating value of the gas has been shown to correlate well with combustion efficiency. When that heating value is not met by vent gas alone, supplemental or make up gas, such as natural gas, must be added to the gas stream to ensure complete combustion. Along with those costs, there are other costs involved with running a flare gas system inefficiently. Venting gas heating values are important because sufficient combustible material must be present continuously to ensure flame stability and achieve high combustion efficiencies. Problems may occur, especially if a single flare is used to control a variety of streams or vent gas with varying components. Operators need to evaluate vent gas heating values not only continuously but for the full range of operating scenarios to ensure compliance with heating value limits.

To do that, refiners can use one or a combination of technologies. AMETEK’s process mass spectrometer is among the technologies under consideration. Among the other technologies is a zirconium dioxide-based calorimeter. The principal advantage of this technology is refiners’ familiarity with it. Calorimeters are widely used to determine the BTU value of fuel gas. That gas, however, is typically low in sulphur and hydrogen content, while refinery flare gas is typically high in both sulphur and hydrogen. In addition, the calorimeter’s effectiveness is limited when hydrogen and sulphur are present in the gas stream. The calorimeter’s zirconium oxide detector is subject to sulphur contamination, which can be an issue with practically every flaring event.

technologies. That testing, conducted at a leading American refinery, demonstrated that a mass spectrometer can provide more detailed and relevant data than gas chromatography and its BTU numbers were equivalent to those provided by a calorimeter, but with greater specificity. The mass spectrometer offered the speed and specificity necessary to accurately calculate the appropriate amount of supplemental gas for complete gas combustion. It was set up to monitor and quantify 16 components in the flare gas stream, including H 2, N 2, methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, i-butane and pentanes

Calorimeters also cannot be used when there are high concentrations of hydrogen in the gas stream. Solutions for dealing with those limitations can add cost and create additional complications for a system needed to maintain refinery operation and required to be in compliance at all times. Gas chromatography is another technology that many refiners are familiar with. Many refineries already have gas chromatographs equipped to their gas flares. However, chromatographs are slow, with long cycle times, making them unsuitable for real-time control of steam and make-up gas mixtures. A third method, mass spectrometry, has undergone successfully field demonstration versus competitive

among others. Taking advantage of its analysis speed, the mass spectrometer was able to obtain a calculation in less than 10 seconds, which is much faster than using a chromatograph.

Raw data from the mass spectrometer was collected using ASTM method D 2650-04 (Standard Test Method for Chemical Composition of Gases by Mass Spectrometry) to calculate the concentrations of individual gas components. The resulting concentration data was then converted into the flare gas heat value as described in ASTM D358898 (Standard Practice for Calculating Heat Value, Compressibility Factor and Relative Density of Gaseous Fuels).

The analysis technique allowed for a reduction in calibration complexity, while still providing data that fell comfortably within the specified error band. The principle behind this method was to identify the interference-free components (H 2, H 2S, hexane) first and then to use those values to correct the ion currents for those components that experience interference.

Based on this simulation of the instrument response, staying within the required specification of ±15% seems a very achievable goal. Summary By adapting the standard method of analysis slightly, the AMETEK FlarePro flare gas monitor provides a fast, accurate BTU content measurement even when confronted with a wildly changing flare gas stream. The analysis technique allows for a reduction in calibration complexity, while still providing data that falls comfortably within the specified error band. Greg Brumfield AMETEK, U.S.A. Tel: (713) 673-9060 E-mail: greg.brumfield@ametek.com and so forth. All of the calculations were performed automatically by the instrument’s software. It should be noted that the calculation method described here and specified in the ASTM method differs from the standard ‘matrix deconvolution’ method commonly used by process mass spectrometers. Matrix deconvolution works by inverting a matrix that describes the contribution of each component to the individual ion currents. The method described here and in ASTM D2650-04 works in a sequential fashion, moving from the better known components to those with heavy interferences. While matrix deconvolution gives excellent accuracies as long as the stream concentrations do not differ too much from the calibration blend used to establish the matrix, the method used in this demonstration is much more robust for the rapidly changing composition of the streams typically found in flare stack gases. Several components (the Butenes, Pentanes and any Hexanes) were combined measurements since they are difficult to speciate by process mass spectrometry. Fortunately, the BTU values within each group are very similar, so that no significant error is introduced for the measurement at hand. The real-time, field-stream data collected using the modified analysis method described above verified the accuracy of the mass spectrometer’s response over a

Tony Slapikas AMETEK, U.S.A. Tel: (412) 860-5499 E-mail: tony.slapikas@ametek.com wide range of BTU values (see Accuracy of Method chart supplied). The instrument’s performance under test indicated that it could very well achieve the required specification goal of +/-15%. There are other advantages as well to using a process mass spectrometer for determining flare gas heat values. The instrument’s software makes for easy setup, operation and calibration. It’s modular design and self-diagnostic capabilities make maintenance easier and significantly reduce the amount of downtime a unit might experience. In addition, the unit features advanced alarm and automation capabilities that further ensure its reliability and extend its practical application.

modifying the standard method of analysis slightly, it was able to use mass spectrometry to provide fast and accurate BTU content measurement even when confronted with a widely changing flare gas stream. The analysis technique allowed for a reduction in calibration complexity, while still providing data that fell comfortably within the specified error band. Refiners should consider a range of factors in selecting the right technological solution for this application. In selecting the right technology for an application, the end users’ criteria should include the manufacturer’s capabilities and experience in process analysis. AMETEK, for example, draws from more than 25 years of experience in mass spectrometer design and manufacture, and has more than 40 years of experience in the design and development of sophisticated process analyzers. In addition, AMETEK offers the industry’s most extensive line of process instruments with analyzers based upon eleven differentiated technology platforms for markets ranging from oil and gas, and power to pharma and semiconductor manufacturing. ◘

better understanding of indoor climate in industries and its impact has become crucial to define and implement appropriate mitigation and adaptation policies, including investment policies for large infrastructure with long lifecycles. This in turn, has hiked the demand for climate monitoring systems considerably over the recent decades, which further increases the fundamental need for authoritative climate information and services upon which to base strategic plans, investments and day-to-day decisions. To make this task of climate monitoring easy, wireless and aesthetically soothing, testo has now introduced its new range of data loggers for building climate monitoring, named as TESTO 160. This new range of data loggers from testo with its 5 different models, help you keep your monitored locations aesthetically perfect, thanks to its small size and decocovers which helps it to blend with the surroundings (see Figure 1).

Comprehensive and Wireless: The Technology The monitoring system testo 160 measures, monitors and documents temperature, humidity, light intensity, UV radiation, CO 2 concentration, atmospheric pressure, continuously, precisely and automatically. This serves ambient climate monitoring and also preservation of valuable objects or systems. The data loggers transfer the measurement values by wireless LAN to an online store, the Testo Cloud. From there, they can be called up by PC/ tablet/smartphone from any place with internet access. If individually defined upper or lower limit values are exceeded, an alarm notification gets activated. For light intensity, an alarm can also be triggered if the accumulated light quantity within a day, a week or a month exceeds a limit value (see Figure 2). Unobtrusive and Individual: The Product Design The data loggers are specially designed such that they present themselves

discretly and inconspicuously. Thanks to the deco-cover, they also blend in with any background. These optionally available housing covers can be individually painted or decorated just as the respective background requires. The loggers have internal and/or external sensors. The latter are, thanks to their design and size, ideal for monitoring in small glass cases, in which otherwise a data logger cannot be placed.

NON-ELECTRIC FLUID DRIVEN DOSING PUMPS Dosatron technology is based on a hydraulic motor pump activated only by pressure and the flow of the water. Installed directly on the water supply line, the Dosatron operates by using the water flow rate as a source of energy. The pressure and flow rate of the water actuate the motor piston which drives a second product dosing piston. The product is injected and mixed continuously with the water from the mains supply at the selected dosing rate % (rate of product/water incorporation). The dose of concentrated product is directly proportional to the volume of water which passes through the Dosatron, independently of variations in the flow rate and pressure of the mains water supply. The motor piston moves under the pressure of the water. A system of valves allows the movement to be reversed. Each piston cycle corresponds to a predetermined volume of water which passes through the pump (motor volume). The speed of the motor varies proportionally with the flow of water. The dosing pump is called a volumetric pump. The dosing piston driven by the motor continuously injects a fixed volume of product (adjustable capacity of the dosing body). The dosing piston will inject the quantity of product that corresponds to the volume of water passing through the motor. Therefore, the operating principle ensures constant dosing, independently of the variations in flow rate and pressure of the water. The injection of the product is proportional to the water flow rate.

MULTI-PURPOSE INSPECTION TOOL Probe Technologies Holdings, Inc offers the iQ, a new multi-purpose inspection tool that provides quantitative measurements of well casing thickness and inner diameter, as well as a comprehensive analysis of casing material properties. It operates in high-pressure wellbores, including those in highly deviated and horizontal wells, up to 20,000 psi, in temperatures as high as 175°C. The primary advantage of the Probe iQ is that it provides precise casing measurements such as ID, thickness, and material properties, including magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity with quadrant circumferential sensitivity. The patented four-segment receiver incorporated within the tool mandrel measures casing thickness in 90° sections (quadrants) based on remote-field eddy current (RFEC) principles. The measured electromagnetic (EM) field attenuations and phase shifts from transmitter to receivers are quantitatively translated to single-layer casing thicknesses following corrections made based on EM property variations. In addition, the axial differential measurements, which are also measured in quadrants, deliver enhanced axial resolutions of small defects on the casing wall. Meanwhile, the precise casing ID, magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity are derived from multi-frequency measurement and inversion while the EM caliper sensor arrangement satisfies the near-field eddy current (NFEC) conditions. As a result, both internal - and external - casing wall defects can be identified by combining casing ID with quadrant thicknesses when interpreting the data. When used in conjunction with Probe’s MAC tools, the EM caliper can further determine the non-metallic deposition on the casing. The intelligent measurements algorithm significantly simplifies the calibration procedures, consistently delivering reliable results. To provide a relative tool orientation and monitor shock and vibration, iQ features a tri-axial accelerometer.

DRIVE DATA IN THE CLOUD All drive axes can be monitored from anywhere in the world via an Internet connection. AC vector drives and motor starters controlled via Profinet simultaneously transmit live status data in UDP packets, on the same bus line, without affecting regular control communication. The cloud-enabled drives send data about their power consumption, speed, and voltage, as well as the status word. Tunneled through a Siemens PLC, all of this information is transmitted to an IoT gateway and on into the cloud. Status data can then be analyzed for energy profiling, asset management, and remote maintenance purposes. Of course, any overload and error states can be visualized. The drives can also transmit additional application data into the cloud at any time – for instance, data of connected sensors and actuators. Moreover, other parameters can be derived from available status data, notably current oil temperatures. NORD has successfully validated this in initial tests. Such data allows for conclusions about lubricant aging that can be used for predictive maintenance. NORD continues to work on and further refine IoT-related and Smart Factory concepts. Novel NORD drive solutions that have already been available for some time include economic condition monitoring implementations based on virtual sensors.

Thanks to the homogeneous flow conditions in the container and the scalable spray rate, the technology is equally suited for both process development and scale-up tests. Furthermore, the new VENTILUS V 5 can be monitored wirelessly and remote controlled using mobile devices. This simplifies daily work in the laboratory because the lab technicians retain full control over the process even if they are no longer in the immediate vicinity of the machine. The innovative Innojet IHD 5 hot melt device for pharma applications complies with all GMP requirements for coating and granulation with organic waxes and fats. The fact that there is no evaporation during the hot melt process is a crucial advantage. The processing times are up to 85 per cent shorter as a result. The IHD 5 features a design with all components – including the valve block, dosing unit and melting container in a compact, block-like housing. This makes it easy to connect the mobile device to the VENTILUS V 5 whenever this is called for by the formulation. All laboratory equipment in the VENTILUS V 5 Series can simply be fitted with the spray heater which is essential for hot melt applications. Heating the spraying air to 120°C prevents the coating liquid from cooling down in the feeding channels and clogging the spray nozzle. The pulsation-free application of the pharma hot melt coating ensures outstanding precision and product quality.

One solution is more active SO 2 oxidation catalysts, and with the introduction of Haldor Topsoe’s new LEAP5 catalyst this option has become reality.

The new VK-711 LEAP5 catalyst has been optimized for higher activity at lower temperatures. This translates into reduced operational costs as well as the choice of maintaining the same production level with lower emissions or increasing productivity without increasing emissions. “By installing the new catalyst, we have improved conversion to produce more sulphuric acid with no additional consumption of raw materials. The improved profitability should pay back the additional cost of the LEAP5 catalyst in two years. In addition to the financial return on the investment we have also reduced SO 2 emissions from the plant,” says a representative from Incitec Pivot Limited’s sulphuric acid plant in Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia. The new VK-711 LEAP5 catalyst allows operation from temperatures as low as 3700C and is an obvious choice for

to achieve unprecedented conversion levels. Other applications

The VK-711 LEAP5 builds on advanced in-situ studies of the working sulphuric acid catalyst, and the industrial experience gained with the groundbreaking LEAP5 VK-701 introduced in 2010. The new catalyst is already in industrial operation.

Project Update

New Contracts/Expansions/Revamps The following list is a brief insight into the latest new projects by various companies in India. CHEMICALS Coal India is planning a `10,000-crore joint venture along with GAIL India, Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers (RCF) and The Fertilizer Corporation of India (FCIL) to set up a urea and ammonium nitrate chemicals complex that will run on gasified coal. Coal India has appointed Projects and Development India (PDIL) to conduct a feasibility study on the project. The plan is to use around 6 million tonnes of coal from coalfields at Talcher in Odisha and manufacture about 3 lakh tonnes of urea annually and around 300-400 tonnes of ammonium nitrate per day. Ammonium nitrate is the principal ingredient for making explosives used as blasting material at coal mines. The country is facing a crunch in the supply of ammonium nitrate and explosive suppliers often jack up prices, resulting in higher input costs for the company. Songwon Industrial Co Ltd of South Korea has launched its new pilot plant in Panoli, Gujarat, thereby strengthening the organisation’s overall specialty chemicals development capability. Built on Songwon’s Indian site with all the necessary main unit operations, the new plant is equipped with the most up-to-date technologies and materials for producing a wide range of chemicals for a broad spectrum of applications - from one kilo up to several hundred kilo samples. To reinforce the organisation’s position in existing areas of business and enhance its ability to enter new areas, the new pilot plant will be supported by the Songwon’s strong local R&D team in Panoli, as well as its central technology innovation center located in Maeam, Korea. AkzoNobel and Atul Ltd have agreed to jointly set up a manufacturing plant for monochloroacetic acid (MCA) at Atul’s facility in Gujarat. Each partner will hold a 50 per cent stake in the venture. The partnership will build on Atul’s status as a leading global supplier of the herbicide 2,4-D (which uses MCA as a key raw material), and AkzoNobel’s leading global position in MCA market, with plants in the Netherlands, China, Japan and the US. The investment is subject to regulatory approvals and signing of final agreements. The partnership will use chlorine and hydrogen manufactured by Atul to produce the monochloroacetic acid, taking advantage of both Atul’s existing infrastructure and the leading eco-friendly hydrogenation technology supplied by AkzoNobel. From an initial annual capacity of 32 kilo-tonnes (KT) at start-up, the plant has been designed for future expansion to 60 KT. The plant will produce enough MCA to meet the captive requirement of Atul; AkzoNobel will market the rest of it, primarily in India. Monochloroacetic acid is an essential building block in the chemical industry and is used in a wide variety of chemicals. Camlin Fine Sciences Ltd, which offers shelf-life solutions (antioxidants and intermediates), performance chemicals and aroma chemicals, has received environmental clearance from the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority of Gujarat for setting up a manufacturing facility for hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol and their down-stream products at Dahej SEZ. The Dahej plant will expand capacities and provide CFS with a base to manufacture hydroquinone and catechol in India. The plant will also help Camlin Fine Sciences to add capacity for manufacturing of vanillin, for which catechol is a key

raw material. The company expects to commission the Dahej plant in FY18. The plant will have capacity to produce 9,000 metric tonne per annum (MTPA) and 6,000 MTPA of HQ and catechol, respectively. SRF is planning to invest ` 3,500 crore over the next four years, 70 per cent of which would go into its fast-growing chemicals business, to cater to rising global demand. SRF, which exports 90 per cent of its chemicals and counts Syngenta, BASFBSE 0.08 per cent, BayerBSE -0.04 per cent CropScience and other global biggies as its clients, has over the years steered its focus away from technical textiles to chemicals, where it has witnessed a rapid revenue growth and fat operating margin. LyondellBasell, one of the world’s largest plastics, chemical and refining companies, completed the previously announced acquisition of the polypropylene (PP) compounding assets of Zylog Plastalloys Pvt Ltd. The company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Zylog’s PP compounding assets in November 2015. LyondellBasell has supplied the Indian market through imports and tolling arrangements since 2009. In October 2015, LyondellBasell acquired SJS Plastiblends Pvt Ltd’s PP compounding business which is located in Aurangabad, Maharashtra. With the acquisition of Zylog’s manufacturing operations in Sinnar, Maharashtra, and Chennai, Tamil Nadu, LyondellBasell is now the third largest producer of PP compounds in India with an annual capacity of 44,000 metric tonnes. In addition to the already existing product lines offered at these sites, LyondellBasell will produce its Hostacom glass fibre-reinforced, mineral filled and unfilled coloured grades as well as Hifax high impact thermoplastic olefins. These compounds are used to manufacture automotive parts, home appliances and other products. Bodal Chemicals of Ahmedabad has received environmental clearance (EC) from the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change for the expansion of dyes and dyes intermediates manufacturing facility located at Vadodara, Gujarat. The company is expanding its dyes and intermediates manufacturing capacity from 2,200 metric tonne per month (MTPM) to 6,000 MTPM, and set up a co-generation power plant (5-MW) in Gujarat. Bodal Chemicals, one of the leading manufacturers of dyes and dyes intermediates in the country, has the capacity to manufacture over 25 varieties of dye intermediates and around 150 variants in dyestuff which are mainly used as raw material in textile, leather, paper and other dye consuming industries. Out of the total production, the company exports about 40 per cent to more than 35 countries across the world. Perstorp of Swedish a specialty chemicals firm is planning to set up a manufacturing facility for pentaerythritol (penta) in Maharashtra. To evaluate the opportunity to invest in a new world scale production plant for penta in India, the company has signed an MoU with Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). Pentaerythritol, a white crystalline polyhydric alcohol containing four primary hydroxyl groups, is used as building blocks in alkyd resins for coatings, radiation curing monomers, polyurethanes, rosin esters, synthetic lubricants and explosives. Perstorp currently manufactures producing penta in three different production plants in Germany, the US and Sweden. The related market for coatings in India is growing fast in the country.

IOL Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd (IOLCP), a producer of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), has increased the production capacity of ibuprofen to 6,200 tonnes per annum (TPA) at Barnala plant in Punjab. Expansion follows a de-bottlenecking project undertaken by the company at an estimated cost of `24 crores. IOL Chemicals already exports ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used as painkiller, to regulated and emerging markets, ie, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, etc. With the recent approval from US FDA, the company is expanding its ibuprofen business in the US as well. Being the only integrated ibuprofen player globally, IOL Chemicals aims to build and sustain the growth of its APIs business in coming years by exploring the higher value regulated markets. MINING NTPC Ltd the state-owned power generator hopes its captive coal production will reach 100 million tonne (MT) as soon as its five coal blocks commence operations, aided by faster regulatory clearances and the part-privatization model of Mine Development and Operator (MDO). The success of the plan would determine fuel security of the operations of India’s largest power producer. KIOCL will revive iron ore mining after a decade in Karnataka, after the State granted the company a lease of over 474 hectares at Devadaru hills in Ballari. KIOCL had suspended mining in the eco-sensitive Western Ghats following a Supreme Court directive in 2006. The company has already prepared an action plan and initiated the process for obtaining the necessary statutory clearances. Once approvals are given, it would invest `1,500 crore in a pellet plant and also a unit to enrich iron ore from the mines. After suspension of mining, KIOCL had shifted to operating 3.5 million tonne per annum pellet plant in Mangaluru. Last year, it produced 1.46 million tonnes, utilising half its capacity, as against almost nil production in the previous year. Under the Make-In-India programme, International agencies have already implemented pilot projects by bringing high grade iron ore from South America, Iran and other parts of the world and utilising KIOCL’s facility, have taken away pellets facilitating better utilisation of its plant capacity and profitability utilising its manpower. The company’s blast furnace Unit having a capacity of 216,000 tonnes of pig iron which was put under suspension since 2009 has been taken for repair and the Unit is ready for operation for producing foundry grade pig iron adding towards its profitability in the coming financial year. The firm earned a profit of`47.93 crore in FY17 as against a loss of ` 80.15 crore the previous year. Revenues grew 353 per cent to ` 929.36 crore from `205.57 crore in the previous fiscal. JSW Energy, part of the Sajjan Jindal-led JSW Group, is believed to be in the race for buying out the thermal power assets of Monnet Power and Jindal India Thermal Power Ltd (JITPL) in Odisha. Monnet Power’s 1,050-MW coal-based power plant near Angul was in advanced stage of commissioning. Monnet Power’s parent company, Monnet Ispat & Energy had won the Mandakini coal block in Odisha in competitive bidding, it surrendered the block later on grounds of economic unviability.

Monnet Power had accumulated debt in excess of `5,000 crore. Though lenders had earlier denied a haircut in JSW Energy’s prospective deal to acquire majority equity in Monnet Power, the Sajjan Jindal-owned firm is still believed to be in the hunt for the asset. Besides Monnet Power, JSW Energy is also eyeing takeover of BC Jindal controlled JITPL’s 1,200-MW coal-based plant at Derang near Angul. The first unit (600-MW) of the 1,200-MW plant had begun commercial operations and started power supplies to the Odisha grid. But, coal paucity and absence of firm linkages had caused disruptions in the operations of the power plant. This project has been completed at a cost of `7,537 crore which includes a debt component of `5,900 crore. JITPL has power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Odisha’s Gridco Ltd, Kerala State Electricity Board and Tata Power Trading Corporation. Apart from JSW Energy, JITPL also had competing offers from Adani Power and Singapore’s SembCorp..

Project Update

Building a world scale production plant will be yet another important part of Perstorp’s ambitious plan to strengthen the position in the Asian market. In July 2015, Perstorp acquired the penta business from Koei Chemical Co Ltd, a Japanese chemicals producer.

NLC India (formerly Neyveli Lignite Corporation) which is in the hunt for buying out power assets is understood to have shown interest in the 700-MW Odisha plant of Hyderabad-based Ind-Barath Power Infra Ltd (IBPIL). The power plant located at Sahajbahal, near Jharsuguda, has commenced commercial operations. Though the exact size of the potential deal is not known, the valuation could be anywhere in the range of ` 5,000-5,500 crore. In August last year, NLC India had floated an Expression of Interest (EoI) from companies owning coal and lignitebased power projects, for a possible acquisition. NLC India’s installed thermal power capacity is 3, 240-MW. It runs a 10-MW solar power unit and wind power assets with a capacity totalling 37.5-MW. Western Coalfields, state-run Coal India arm, has received the environment clearance for its `263 crore expansion project in Nagpur district, Maharashtra. The proposal is to enhance the production capacity of the Gokul open cast mine to 1.875-million tonnes per annum (MTPA) from the existing 1-MTPA. The mine, located in 767.17-hectare, has a mineable reserve of 14.50-million tonnes. Among the conditions specified, the company has been asked to get ‘Consent to Operate’ Certificate from the State Pollution Control Board for the existing production capacity of 1-MTPA and also the ‘Consent to Establish’ for the proposed capacity of 1.875-MTPA prior to enhancing the production capacity. With regard to transportation of coal, the company has been asked to carry out by covered trucks and take mitigative measures to control dust and other fugitive emissions all along the roads by providing sufficient number of water sprinklers. The company has been informed to adopt controlled blasting techniques to control ground vibration and flying rocks. It has also been told to implement a progressive afforestation plan covering an area of 376.04-hectare at the end of mining. Of the total quarry area of 231.73-hectare (on floor) and 291.21-hectare (on surface), the backfilled quarry area of 115.39-hectare should be reclaimed with plantation and there will be no void left at the end of the mining operations. The land after mining should be restored for agriculture purpose. OIL & GAS Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), India’s second biggest state-run refiner, plans to spend about `13,000 crore on expanding its Numaligarh refinery in Assam by 2017-18.The company plans to expand the Numaligarh refinery to 9 million tonnes from the current 3 million tonnes.
