Replace manual gauges with new INTUOTM software for EquatorTM Highly repeatable process control on the shop floor - create simple gauging routines in minutes & eliminate user error vernier or digital callipers, micrometres and plug gauges. Equator is highly repeatable and runs fast automated routines, meaning significantly reduced labour costs. With many workshops using hundreds of manual gauges this cost saving can be considerable. INTUO, with minimal training, uses intelligent functions to help the engineer set up gauging of parts in a matter of minutes. Shop-floor operators then select and run those programs using the user-friendly Renishaw Organiser front-end software.

INTUO allows engineers to create simple gauging routines on Equator in minutes, with easy input of master part values. With Equator Button Interface shop floor operators can start routines with a single button, and control other basic functions

he Renishaw Equator™ flexible gauge is now offered with the new INTUOTM gauging software, combined with a range of industry standard Renishaw probes. INTUO simplifies and automates the gauging of a wide variety of parts, removing dependence on the skill of manual gauge users. Reducing gauging inconsistency reduces scrap, whilst ensuring parts that are out of tolerance are always identified. Renishaw is also launching the Equator Button Interface (EBI), with simple push-button controls for shopfloor operators, removing the need for a mouse and keyboard. Replace manual gauges, reduce ongoing costs INTUO with Equator is an ideal alternative to multiple manual devices such as

6 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Gauging routines in minutes INTUO allows the programmer to create gauging routines using just a part with an engineering drawing. With the Feature Predict function activated, the programmer uses the joystick to take points on each feature while INTUO does most of the work, by predicting the type of feature, the nominal value and a possible tolerance band. It is then easy to adjust the program to change the number of points taken or to space them evenly, and match nominals and tolerances to the engineering drawing. Easy manual input of master part actuals It is a simple task to input the actual values for features on the master part, which does not need to be a ‘perfect part’. In fact it is preferable that a production part manufactured with the same method and material is used. First the features required are measured on a certified device, like a calibrated manual gauge or any co-ordinate measuring machine (CMM). The values from this master part inspection report can be www.engrreview.com

detailed view in Process Monitor (a process monitoring window for the user interface), or automatic data capture for updating machine tool offsets. Process Monitor provides a chart showing the history of feature measurements, and an easy graphical view of proportion of tolerance for each feature. Being able to view the inspection data history of a part is an invaluable function for controlling manufacturing processes. This is not possible when using a Go/no-go gauge, which can only indicate the state of each feature. Process Monitor also enables shop floor management of the mastering process according to temperature, time or number of parts measured. Use of a calibrated master part allows the system to be re-zeroed whenever shop-floor conditions change, meaning Equator can cope with a rapidly changing thermal environment.

manually added to a table in Organiser or to the corresponding field in INTUO – changing one will update the other. Programmer training in one day INTUO has gone through extensive development to make it as simple to use as possible, which means that programmers only need a training course lasting a few hours. Training is ‘hands-on’, using the joystick to take points while interacting with icon based menus and a graphical workspace to rapidly build up the features to be gauged. In just a few hours programmers will learn the four stage INTUO process of Align – Measure – Dimension – Report, and be ready to inspect production parts. Equator Button Interface In many shop-floor environments simple operator controls are essential. Customer feedback has shown that an alternative to the keyboard and mouse 8 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

is required, so Renishaw has introduced the Equator Button Interface (EBI), which works directly with the Organiser software. EBI uses large push buttons which can be operated by operators wearing gloves. It is not affected by shop-floor contamination and can be mounted on the front of the Equator or on the framework of a table or enclosure. At the most basic level it can be used to start gauging programs, but can also be used to stop those programs mid-cycle, select other programs and navigate the Organiser environment. Equator can be moved using the jog keys if necessary and there are buttons for initial alignment, switching between master/ measure modes, changing view screens and easy error recovery. Control your process Equator has various reporting options, including simple pass/fail, a more

Global support Reflecting the international nature of many modern manufacturing organisations, Equator customers have been able to take advantage of Renishaw’s extensive network of Equator support engineers. Projects initiated in one country or region can be easily transferred and locally supported in multiple locations. Renishaw now has over 70 regional support offices and multiple approved partners, covering every industrialised area of the world. The versatile gauge Equator is unique in its design and method of operation, and has already changed the thinking of thousands of production engineers, making it their new gauge of choice. The versatility and repeatability Equator offers is re-defining the world of gauging, and now with INTUO and the Equator Button Interface an even wider range of capabilities is offered to manufacturers globally.

Taiwan Machine Tool exports to India surges over 11% in first six months of 2015 Five Taiwanese Companies: Tongtai Machine & Tool Co, Ltd; She Hong Industrial Co. Ltd., Chien Wei Precise Technology C0., Ltd ; MEGA Machine Co., Ltd. and Fair Friend Enterprise.Co. Ltd launch products targeted at Indian manufacturing sector

Mr. Lee, Guann-Jyh, Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India, Economic Division addressing Press Conference.

rade between India and Taiwan is increasing rapidly with Taiwan’s machine tools exports to India growing by 11.6 % in the first two quarters of 2015 (January to June ). This comes in the wake of, the overall Taiwan–India bilateral trade touching $ 2.108 billion in the first five months of 2015. Taiwanese exports to India contributed USD 1.28 billion while imports from India touched US$ 828 million. “There is a clear cut synergy between the needs of the Indian manufacturing sector and the special characteristics of the Taiwanese machine tool industry. As the world’s fourth largest exporter of machine tools and component, machine tools in Taiwan can offer products to a broad range of industries, including aerospace, automobiles, computers, energy, medical equipment as well as precision mold. The strengths of Taiwanese machine tools products include excellent quality, reasonable prices, integration and constant innovation, and continuous value addition. In the future, we truly expect Taiwanese products to help speed up India’s manufacturing

energy and make a significant contribution to the Make in India initiative,” said Mr Lee, Guann-Jyh, Director of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India, Economic Division. He was speaking at a press conference at Pragati Maidan on August 20 ,2015 in the backdrop of the Delhi Machine Tools Expo 2015 (DMTX). The event christened “Taiwan machine tools speed up a better India”-was organized by the bureau of Foreign Trade and implemented by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). Taiwan now has become increasingly keen on investing in India. At present there are more than 80 Taiwanese companies in India. Many Taiwanese companies have successfully expanded their business in the fields of electronics, machinery, food and textiles. “Establishing good economic and trade relationships with India has always been the goal of Taiwan. We are optimistic that India’s future economic growth will be stronger given its 1.2 billion population and the demand driven by its young and aspirational middle class. The huge, upcoming public-private sector infrastructure projects is expected to drive growth further. No doubt, the Indian market holds enormous potential for Taiwanese companies,” Dr Lee added. At the Expo five Taiwanese companies Tongtai Machine & Tool Co, Ltd; She Hong Industrial Co. Ltd., Chien Wei Precise Technology C0., Ltd ; MEGA Machine Co., Ltd. and Fair Friend Enterprise.Co.,Ltd launched their products. Indian industry can benefit from the Taiwanese machine

tool industry as it is extremely innovation focused. This industry is concentrated in clusters along the Dadu Plateau of central Taiwan which has been christened the Golden Valley. This region which is home to over 1000 precision machinery manufacturers and over 10,000 downstream suppliers employs more than 3,00,000 people and accounts for $ 3 billion in revenues. It has the highest output value per unit area and the highest density of any machine tool industry cluster in the world. Without this cluster, Google’s solar farms in the desert would be unable to follow the sun. The top four equipment suppliers for the global semiconductor and display panel industries also use components from here and without them, the semiconductor and display panel industries would find their supply chains cut. Car components for the German and Italian manufacturers, as well as gears for General Motors, Porsche and Hyundai, all come from this industry cluster. Even China, the world’s largest car market, principally depends on this Golden Valley of precision machine tools for its mold processing equipment. The Taiwan machine tool industry is even able to meet the stringent requirements of Apple and help it create its unique and innovative products. Taiwan machine tool industry has emerged as the preferred supplier to Apple in the face of stiff competition from traditional technology powers like Germany and Japan.

series by Rollon, for example, can be used. If they are installed horizontally and tilted 90 degrees, the door can be mounted on the carriage and moved by the actuator. Power is transmitted by steel-reinforced polyurethane timing belts with an AT tooth profile. The axes are characterized by low friction, long service life and low noise. A Compact Rail roller guide safely accommodates the sliding doors at the bottom. The same solution can be implemented even cheaper with a bi-directional Smart axis. A B-Smart that is twice as long with two synchronously colliding and moving runners stops and then moves the machine doors. This saves an axis and requires only a transmission, a motor, an encoder for determining position and a servo amplifier. In handling and positioning systems that used to require two horizontal axes, a Robot SP-2C axis with two independently positionable carriages may also be used instead. An SC-axis can be correspondingly mounted onto the trolley, which is provided in the Plus System family for performing vertical strokes. The design with two perpendicular axes on a transverse axis can save not just an axis, it is also a time saver for the user by being able to run parallel processing.

Siemens Ltd. surpasses 100,000 milestone for energy-efficient industrial motors Becomes the first company in India to achieve this distinction for IE motors. Energy savings through the use of these motors is 300GWh, which is equivalent to power required by 80,000 average Indian households in an entire year. In 2012, Siemens was the first company in India to launch a complete range of locally-manufactured IE2 and IE3 efficiency class energy efficient motors.

iemens Limited announced that it has surpassed a key milestone in manufacturing and delivering International Efficiency (IE) class industrial motors by handing the 100,000th motor to UltraTech Cement Ltd. in Mumbai. This translates to energy savings of 300GWh, which is equivalent to the power required by 80,000 average Indian households for an entire year, since the launch of the motors in January 2012. Siemens Limited was the first company in India to launch locally-manufactured IE2 and IE3 efficiency class energy efficient industrial motors; IE3 is currently the highest efficiency class as recognized by Indian Standards. These motors are capable of offering energy savings of up to 10% depending on the frame sizes when used in place of standard efficiency (IE1) motors. “Energy costs are steadily rising over the last few years and will continue to rise as con-sumption grows. This has compelled industrial units, especially those that rely heavily on processes, to invest in energy-efficient equipment like energy-efficient motors. The IE class energy efficient industrial motors from Siemens help customers improve their business performance, reduce lifecycle costs, and meet environmental regulations. The achievement of this milestone only reiterates the growing awareness and need for such motors by our customers,” says Bhaskar Mandal, Country Division Lead, Process Industries and Drives, Siemens India.

It provides a platform for direct interaction between those who created a difference and those who wish to. Quark has always created a difference by taking initiatives that have benefited the society as well. Under the patronage of UNESCO, BITS Goa and Quark successfully organized a

blood donation drive, Red in 2014, to spread awareness about blood donation and encourage people to donate blood. Again, In June 2015, they started Red with drives being conducted in Mumbai and Delhi, which were supported by a large number of people. The campaign proved to be successful in providing necessary education about the noble cause. According to the records, 100 pints of blood was collected in a single day. Thus, Quark is one technical fest that explores all the spheres of technology and also pays equal attention towards the benefits of the society. This time, Quark 2016 aimed at creating a difference in the way young minds think. In India, various olympiads and tests are conducted to test the candidates on “the basic knowledge of science and mathematics”. But unfortunately the candidates are actually tested on the knowledge of higher concepts of the subjects, which only a few people know. Thus, students often hesitate to take part in such examinations. Quark 2016 had decided to hold

an examination in which participants would get to test their thinking skills and logical reasoning. Unlike other tests, this examination wasn’t based on the formulae or concepts that they find in books and often spend hours to remember perfectly. Quark Scholastic Aptitude Test (qSAT) had only one motive, that was, to encourage the participants to think out of the box. The test was similar to CAT, where students faced questions that could be solved on the basis of their analytical ability. This year, qSAT was held in Mumbai, Bhopal, Trivandrum, Kolkata and Pune, on the 26th of July with participation from over 1100 school students of grades 8 to 12.Quark 16, A Cosmic Odyssey, took young minds to an all new cosmic high, where they could think beyond the thinkable and achieve much more than their anticipation.

AS-Schneider develops manifold for measuring equipment on FPSO vessels: Increased reliability, reduced weight Industrial valve specialist AS-Schneider has developed a manifold specially for use on FPSO vessels. The monoflange with Dual Double Block & Bleed Function is noteworthy for maximum operational reliability and minimum weight – properties that are critically important in floating systems for extraction of crude oil and natural gas.

Maximum operational reliability and minimum weight: AS-Schneider has developed a manifold specially for use on FPSO vessels. Picture by: Armaturenfabrik Franz Schneider GmbH + Co. KG

S-Schneider originally developed the manifold as a special solution for a renowned company from the energy sector. The company, which operated an FPSO vessel for offshore extraction of crude oil and natural gas, wanted to make its measuring equipment particularly reliable by using two Double Block & Bleed valves in series. Moreover, it wanted to keep the weight as low as possible. A combination of two separate valves was ruled out owing to the great inherent weight and resulting susceptibility to vibrations. AS-Schneider’s product designers therefore set to work to find a way of mounting six valves – and therefore a Dual Double Block & Bleed Function – in one valve body. For this purpose they optimized the arrangement of the valves and the design of the connecting flow paths. The result is a monoflange with six integral valves which weighs only slightly more than a normal standard flange. The hook-up is therefore insensitive to oscillations and vibrations. As only one valve body is required, the risk of leaks is also low. AS-Schneider was therefore able to comply fully with the customer’s requirements, namely maximum operational reliability and minimum weight for use at sea. About AS-Schneider The family-run

Chemical products are at the beginning of the logistics value chain of many products, in very different sectors. A monitored, error-free and, most of all, appropriate handling of chemical products is therefore extremely important. These products need to be reliably filled and palletised, as well as securely 70 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

packed in order to be delivered damage-free to the processor. Logistics service providers are now more frequently handing over these tasks to manufacturers, who have to meet very high standards. The materials can have very different characteristics: very high product temperatures, for example, or special flow characteristics leading to a low dimensional stability of the bags. Kornelius Thimm, head of Customer Support for BEUMER Group in Beckum, Germany, and very familiar with this industry, explains: “These products have to be handled safely and gently throughout the entire process chain. Plus: the throughput rates of the installations and systems are continually increasing.” Another demand to be met: the control, regulation and clear representation of the complete material flow. Kornelius Thimm knows that “if the service provider does not meet all these requirements, a competitor will do it”. BEUMER Group offers comprehensive service in order to make

sure that its filling, palletising and packaging systems are always perfectly adapted to their tasks and that all processes run smoothly: about 1,000 Customer Support employees currently back the service providers world-wide. Thimm explains that Customer Support is a separate department, independent of the BEUMER Group’s conveying and loading technology, palletising and packaging technology and sortation and distribution systems. He says: “It’s basically a company within the company. We have our own Sales Department and develop our own projects.” The goal is to support users for even better results and to respond to their rising requirements. This includes training programmes, which are tailor-made for the customer and their systems, as well as qualified Customer Support technicians who offer aroundthe-clock telephone support every day of the year, worldwide, and help reduce downtime to a minimum.

Continued from page no.72 malfunction, the hotline offers aroundthe-clock competent telephone support (24/7/365). Residential Service: We assume responsibility BEUMER Customer Support offers customised service agreements. “In principle, those agreements are specially designed to meet the individual requirements of our customers”, explains Thimm. “The service schedules as well as the response times are agreed upon in the contract.” The agreements include, for example, the supply of spare parts, preventive as well as routine maintenance, and the operation of the systems. The head of Customer Support identifies a pronounced trend: More and more manufacturers, especially logistics service providers, wish to concentrate on their own core business and to delegate the responsibility for their systems and machines. Kornelius Thimm promises: “With our Residential Service the user can receive filling, palletising and packaging solutions from one source, at any time. BEUMER employees take on the responsibility for operating times, performance and economic efficiency of the systems. If required, we will appoint a team of specialists which will ensure proper machine operation and availability on site.” BEUMER believes that the customer should have access to a Customer Support technician that originates from the same cultural background and speaks the same language. “For this reason we cannot just send colleagues from Beckum to Singapore”, says Thimm. Successful customer support requires an understanding of the mentality of the customer: How is the customer positioned? What are his goals and how does he want to develop in the future? These questions require tactfulness and cultural know-how. BEUMER is a global company and capable of meeting this challenge. 72 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

These services include maintenance and inspection at regular intervals.

Appropriate concepts Within the scope of the Residential Service, BEUMER employees provide service providers with a steady and sustained improvement of their processes and results. Mr. Thimm explains: “We rely for example on the Six Sigma systematic approach. This statistical method is based on the DMAIC, a process which is clearly structured in define, measure, analyse, improve, and control phases. In the “D” phase, the team defines the examined processes on the basis of data and facts. In the “M” phase, the process performance is measured before being analysed it in the “A” phase. The problems that appeared at the analysis stage will be thoroughly examined and solved during the “I” phase. The “C” phase is the last one. BEUMER employees use it for supervision and control purposes. Thimm says: “This method enables us to improve the quality of our customers’ processes. It makes it possible for them to reduce their costs.” A view to tomorrow BEUMER employees continue to carry out preventive maintenance. Thimm explains: “This way, we can avoid uncontrolled machine breakdowns, which can be very expensive.”

Maintenance and inspection are executed at regular intervals. This includes preventive maintenance and other measures such as applying a protective coating or installing warning devices. The BEUMER team constantly manages and reviews the quantity and availability of the spare parts on site and, if necessary, adapts accordingly. The activities of the BEUMER team include Facility Management as well. Kornelius Thimm adds: “We develop and realize concepts which enable a long-term and trouble-free operation of the buildings. Our employees check the technical installations and maintain them regularly, at agreed intervals.” Thimm says: “We do not only take care of companies that use our systems.” All companies with intralogistics equipment can use the BEUMER customer support and residential service. “Our goal is to continue to improve trouble-free material flow in order to guarantee value-added processes”, explains Thimm. “We assume the complete responsibility and ensure this way that the service providers remain competitive in the long run.”

Munjal Castings increases OEE by 50%, after using Renishaw TRS2 – tool breakage detection and tool setting probe For any manufacturing company to be a market leader and become more competitive, it is vital to reduce costs, maintain quality, and provide timely delivery. Munjal Castings, based in Ludhiana, India, adopted this philosophy for its growth.

Senior VP of Munjal Castings, MR PL Arora

Company background Munjal Castings, established in 1980, is part of The Hero Group, and caters primarily to Hero Majestic in the automotive industry. The company currently employs 1,200 people at two plants, where it manufactures quality aluminium die cast components using 20 machine tools. Munjal Castings has emerged as one of the trusted names in the aluminium and zinc die casting industry, supplying 600 tonnes of castings each month, with a turnover of 1.5 billion INR. The company supplies components to Hero MotorCorp Ltd, Suzuki Group, Hyundai, Hero Cycles, Nissan, Tata, GM, and Daimler Chrysler, as well as supplying the export market. Aware of the vast business potential in the international automotive industry, the company has commissioned a third plant which is ISO TS 16949:2000 certified and has a capacity of 100 machines. Business challenge A major challenge to overcome was frequent tool breakage, which caused delays in production and led to high levels of scrap and financial loss in terms of materials and time. The reputation of the company was at stake, as even a single substandard component could negatively affect goodwill towards Munjal Castings in the market. The Solution Renishaw TRS2 systems were installed at Munjal Castings to address this challenge. The TRS2 is an award-winning non contact broken tool detection system for machining centres. It determines whether a tool is present by analysing reflective light patterns and ignores any that are created by coolant and swarf, thereby eliminating false indications of a broken tool. Mr. P. L. Arora (Senior Vice-President of Munjal Castings) said: “The company was incurring huge financial losses due to high rejections. This prompted the management to

Tank Heating is more than a fabrication job

arge stockpiles of cargo are a quite common these days. There are several storage & transportation points in oil companies, FPSOs, refineries, Storage terminals where a very large capacity storage is witnessed. Storage tanks larger than football fields are not so rare. Due to increasing stockpile, efficient terminal operations have also become a far important necessity. Out of various products stored, heavy oils, heavy crude, fuel oil comprises a significant part. Increasing infrastructure projects also increases usage of asphalt & bitumen. These heavy oils & asphalt need to be heated to reduce viscosity for pumping and transportation. The role played by efficient tank heating provisions has been well underestimated in many instances. Tank heating is not always a most discussed topic related to tank designs. However, industry experts acknowledge the role and importance of efficient and effective tank heating. The petroleum oils change density with temperature. Since the supply stock measurements are taken in volume and then temperature corrections applied to determine actual stock sold, maintaining correct temperature directly affects profitability. Hence product supply at correct temperature is a business necessity. Due to drastically changing viscosity and pumping ability over changing temperatures, incorrect or non-uniform temperatures make operations difficult. Thus, cargo heating is also important for transportation. Oil blending is equally important to ensure quick response to customer demands. Efficient blending is possible with better temperature control of the tank. There are many instances where the tank hold needs to be

heated. There have also been many methods and philosophies used to design tank heating system.

Traditional concept The traditional concept of tank heating was to use a serpentine coil manufactured from pipes, laid at the bottom of the tank. The heating fluids such as steam / thermal fluids are passed through these pipes to achieve heating. This traditional method did work fine and satisfactorily when the average tank sizes were relatively smaller. This concept itself was innovative once upon a time and gained popularity due to easy availability of raw material (in this case pipes), easy concept for design and fabrication. In many instances of tank designs, the tank heating had been a matter of lesser importance due to several reasons such as • Heating coil design and fabrication is considered as part of tank design. • Supply & installation of heating coil in the scope of tank fabrication and not routed through thermal or heat transfer designers. • Thermal Performance subject to interpretation due to Changing temperatures over the day & year (due to changing seasons)

• Absence of uniformly accepted standard / code for measurement of thermal performance • Traditionally the tank sizes had been relatively small. Due to changing dynamics and cost structure, the average storage tank sizes are increasing nowadays. • The traditional method of heating with pipes worked fine for smaller tanks. Eventually an extension of the same traditional concept was being adopted for many larger tanks. On those projects, heating became more complicated. This traditional method has several constraints when evaluated carefully for the intended use. Heat transfer, which is the prime intention for these heating coil, gets affected the most unfortunately. As the heating medium continues to loose heat along its path in a serpentine coil, the temperature profile along its length continues to get affected, affecting the Log Mean Temp Difference (LMTD, in heat transfer parlance), thus overall heat transfer. The adjoining figure shows arrangement of a fairly medium size tank and the heating coil had to be split in 2 sectors to have better heat

heating coil ensure that there is fairly consistent temperature in each of the sectors. However, due to very long serpentine pipeline in each of the sectors, there is still a temperature gradient along the length of heating coils in each of these sectors. It means that the temperature gradient has reduced but not eliminated.

Continued from page no.82 transfer. As one can see, the steam continues to transfer heat along a very long serpentine pipe. Thus saturated steam at the start of heating coil is either a vet steam / condensate or even a mere hot water at the exit of heating coil. This means that the heat transfer will not be same all along length of the heating coil. In many instances it is observed that in order to compensate for ineffective heat transfer and temperature gradient across the tank, the heating coil layout had to be complicated. As can be seen from the adjoining figure, temperature distribution has improved. The multiple sectors of

Cost of heating There are several direct as well as indirect costs associated with this heating. The direct heating can be measured and optimized easily. The indirect costs are also significant. These need to be monitored and optimized. This heating, which is merely for transportation purpose, must be reduced. This can be done by using correct design philosophy. Direct heating costs : The products stored at ambient temperature require to be heated to agreed discharge temperature. This direct heat addition can be measured by simple formulae. Irrespective of heating mechanism or philosophy inside the tank, these heating (direct heat addition into the product) costs are generally dependent upon the efficiency of the heater and hence

should be same for all heating mechanisms. An efficient heater / boiler can ensure that these costs are kept to as low as possible. Indirect Heating costs : Measurement losses Due to non-uniform heating of the product inside the tank, temperature corrections are applied to the entire stock, although a part of the stock may be at a lower temperature. Also, due to non-uniform heating, actual heating may be applied for longer time than necessary, thereby increasing the heater / boiler running and in turn, fuel consumption. Costs due to Non-uniform heating Provision of good mixers can reduce such losses. These mixers are required to be operated throughout the heating duration. The operating costs of these mixers is added to the cost of heating to ensure uniform product temperature. Operation of mechanical mixers to compensate for inefficient / inadequate heating also adds the running and maintenance costs on mixers to the cost of heating. Cleaning costs Non-uniform heating is also one of the causes in non-uniform sludge settlement inside the tank. Heavier sludge settlement makes tank cleaning during the maintenance interventions a major bottleneck. Especially in the instances like bitumen, heavy fuel oil, where the product becomes solid or very viscous at ambient temperatures, complete clean-out is a major nightmare for the maintenance team. Efficient heating can help in reducing sludge settlement, thereby reducing this clean-out cost.

Available options Various methods and philosophies are employed to decide heating mechanism. Factors to be taken into consideration for deciding heating philosophy include Ambient conditions, Storage duration, Product discharge condition (flow rate, continuous or intermittent discharge, Frequency of discharge), Heating medium & Heating cost etc.

help in maintaining the hold at uniform temperature, thereby reducing these costs. Surface Losses Due heating up of complete tank holdup even in cases where a very small portion is to be discharged (for instance, tanker loading of bitumen), the heated stock loses heat to the atmosphere from the surface, only to heated up again. These costs can be reduced by providing a discharge / outflow heater, which will be used only when the product is getting discharged. Thus it makes an economic sense to keep the stock at as less temperature as practically feasible and the heat up the stock efficiently prior to discharge or sufficiently in advance of discharge.

Immersion Heating : There are some efficient heating mechanisms available for ready use. PLATECOIL® heating offered by Tranter can improve heating efficiency, internal circulation and ensure uniform product properties inside the tank. The vertically oriented heating coils at correct location induce proper convection currents inside the fluid and ensure uniform heating. The adjoining picture from a live installation shows such an arrangement. This arrangement has several advantages 1. Uniform temperature in tank making operation dependable. 2. Improved convection inside tank leading to lesser settling, lesser

maintenance Reduction in hold-up volume inside heating coils means faster start-up Reduction of condensate hammering making operations Safer Reduction in pressure drop means Smaller pump and lesser pumping costs Weld-joins reduced by almost 75% enabling a faster installation Better accessibility leading to a better quality of installation.

This efficient heating is a result of a very interesting internal convection. A computational fluid dynamic analysis (CFD analysis) of heating in the tank validates this internal convection and internal circulation as a result of this heating method. The vertically oriented heating coils ensure that heating of the fluid is prolonged until the fluid leaves the heating surface. This sets in very high convection velocities inside the tank. This leads to uniform temperature distribution across the tank over the heating duration. By maintaining uniform temperature, viscosity of the product is also maintained uniform facilitating the pumping. This can also ensure lower pumping cost. Reduced sludge sedimentation due to proper circulation reduces maintenance costs. There are many satisfied customers in the industry who vouch for satisfactory performance of this methodology.As experts say, “increasing efficiency is not a mere strategy, it is an imperative”. The industry today strives to increase efficiency in every aspect of its business, its operations. In storage tank parlance, this efficient heating can make operations much better and reduce the operations cost.

5 Key elements to consider before embracing the industrial internet of things

Mike Granby

ooking across industrial sectors worldwide, a relatively small percentage of companies are fully embracing the Industrial Internet of Things concept, but many have interest. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of those companies, here are five key points to consider. The Internet of Things (IoT) is getting a great deal of attention today. And the predictions for IoT growth figures are eye-catching, to say the least. For example, a recent report from IDC predicts that the worldwide IoT market will grow to $7.1 trillion by 2020. Despite all the potential promise of the IoT, some people remain skeptical about real-world use. Will we, after all, really need a connected toaster or refrigerator that link to the Internet? The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), however, is one area where connected devices are common, and some would argue have more practical benefits than the consumer aspect of IoT. Even with its clearer potential, before any serious IIoT plans are put into action, many questions remain to be answered.

Here are five key elements industrial organizations should consider before embarking on the path to IIoT initiatives: Legacy Equipment: Take inventory of automation devices such as PLCs, RTUs, robots and drives. How old are they? Do

90 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

they need to be replaced or upgraded? Is your legacy equipment going to be able to communicate with newer equipment? How much time and money will this take? What cost-effective solutions can address your current infrastructure?

when it is collected and transferred? What security measures are in place for the systems that collect, monitor, process and store IIoT data? Are there any regulations regarding the protection of data and information that you need to be aware of?

Protocols/Communication:

Staff: As more technology-based devices are added to your network, do you have IT staff on hand, as well as other employees who are tech savvy and can help with installation and monitoring on the factory floor? Is software or remote monitoring needed to keep tabs on devices in other locations? At Red Lion Controls, we offer industrial automation and networking solutions that help organizations address these questions when making the move to IIoT. With support for over 300 different industrial protocols, our automation products allow a range of different machines in heterogeneous environments to talk to each other. These offerings, coupled with Ethernet switches and cellular M2M, enable the reliable flow of data anytime, anywhere across almost any medium, device or protocol. This data can then be easily monitored by operators and engineers, giving organizations a communications foundation for IIoT deployment. With the right equipment, systems and people in place, organizations can easily turn IIoT hype into reality and use real-time data visibility to drive business advantage. Red Lion Controls is a US manufacturer of industrial automation and networking solutions that help organizations connect, monitor and control assets worldwide.

Bulkscan® LMS511 Laser Volume Flowmeter Anyone who uses conveyor systems in their working environment knows that incorrect measurements must be avoided, otherwise the machines and belts could be so badly damaged that production comes to a complete stop. Dedicated to harsh environment, the Bulkscan® LMS511accurately measures mass and volume flow continuously in a non-contact process and also identifies the fill level and the center of gravity of bulk materials on belts.

hose looking to measure quantities of bulk materials on belts can now opt for a precise measuring process in the form of the Bulkscan® LMS511. Up until now traditional belt scales have always been used. These are simple and cost-effective, but they do have their pitfalls. Operators tend to experience problems when it comes to the accuracy of the weight measurement. The low level of measurement stability and the sensitivity of these devices, particularly in harsh conditions, also interfere with the production process. This process is a lot easier if the system can monitor mass flow as well as volume flow. This requires non-contact laser technology to be installed in rugged hardware suitable for outdoor use.

Volume, level, and center of gravity The Bulkscan® LMS511 measures volume flow continuously in a non-contact process and also identifies the fill level and the center of gravity of bulk materials on belts. And thanks to multi-echo technology, it always works regardless of the weather (rain, snow, fog, dust) or the composition of the material at hand. Not even reflections in glass can disrupt the laser volume flowmeter. The laser beam detects the height profile of the bulk materials as well as volume and throughput, at sensing ranges of up to 20 meters. For instance, stones of an excessive size can be detected in good time, before they are able to block downstream system components. Using the integrated center of gravity calculation, the scanner monitors the belt load over the complete conveying line and recognizes one-sided loads or one-sided belt loads. It can even detect movements in the belt at an early stage, helping to make sure that the belt does not suffer high levels of wear and tear.

Minimum maintenance, cost-effectiveness

maximum

The special housing design ensures that the Bulkscan® LMS511 is rugged enough for outdoor use. It is installed above the belt, preventing it from being contaminated by the bulk materials. Furthermore, the measurement process is not affected by horizontal forces from the belt’s rollers or plates. Functions for self-monitoring and auto-calibration increase the system availability; for instance, integrated sensors check the transparency of the front screen of the Bulkscan® LMS511 and generate an alarm signal if the value falls below an

adjustable threshold. This function also reduces the maintenance work. The scanner reports automatically when cleaning is due. These devices can conduct measurements with the utmost operational safety, even in Siberian temperatures. An integrated heating system switches on at +5 °C and provides heat, even at temperatures as low as -30 °C. Even if a worst case scenario should occur, the system can be quickly put back into action. Finally, the modular concept ensures optimized spare part logistics and quick and straightforward replacement of the components concerned.

Taiwanese companies plan to participate in Make in India Initiative

Ms. Chien, Pei-Ju (Pico) Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) ISC for Mechanical & Chemical Industries Section Market Development Department Project Manager

Q. How Machine and Tools Manufacturing Companies will get advantage of the situation? According to IMTMA India, the government of India is expected to boost manufacturing – one of achieving 25 % share in overall GDP by the year 2025 (from the present 16 %); to have concerted focus on technology and depth value addition; and to generate for the country a hundred million manufacturing jobs. The automotive industry, for instance, has set a focus to manufacture five million vehicles by 2015 and nine million by 2020. The 98 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

auto component industry, likewise, is setting itself a target of manufacturing 145 billion US Dollars worth of ancillaries over the next five years. Similar is the story in the consumer durable segment as well as in the capital goods industry. There is equally a subtle shift in demand in infrastructure, energy, construction & material-handling, healthcare, besides defence, aerospace and medical engineering sectors. These industries are seeking more manufacturing technology solutions – some currently out of reach of Indian machine tool suppliers. This situation accelerate local manufacturers to expand production capacity and upgrading manufacturing technology. India, which is the world’s second largest by population, is a market with great growth potential and strong domestic demand. The Indian machine tool industry is ranked 14th and 10th in global production and use of machine tools, respectively. India accounts for machine tools worth 12,500 crores every year. About 40% of which are produced for the domestic market. Q.What are the significant qualities in Taiwan made Machine Tools? Need to R & D work by their Industry? The ability of Taiwan Machine Tools to compete with other countries without the support of a strong car industry or huge domestic demand depends entirely on Taiwan’s flexibility and adaptability. This ability to provide customized services underpins the exceptional competitiveness that is the hallmark of the Taiwan machine tool industry. Several factors have driven this success.

1 - INDUSTRY CLUSTERS Taiwan is home to world-class industry clusters for the machine tool industry. Viewed from the air, there is a swath of countryside some 60km long and 14km wide that runs along the Dadu Plateau of central Taiwan. This so-called Golden Valley: • Home for more than 1,000 precision machinery manufacturers and upwards of 10,000 downstream suppliers • Employs more than 300,000 people • Has an annual output of $3 billion • Has the highest output value per unit area and the highest density of any machine tool industry cluster in the world. Without this cluster, Google’s solar farms in the desert would be unable to follow the sun; the top four equipment suppliers for the global semiconductor and display panel industries also use components from here. Without them, the semiconductor and display panel industries would find their supply chains cut. Car components for the German and Italian manufacturers, as well as gears for General Motors, Porsche and Hyundai, all come from this industry cluster. Even China, the world’s largest car market, principally depends on this Golden Valley of precision machine tools for its mold processing equipment. The Taiwan machine tool industry is even able meet the stringent requirements of Apple, which depends on this industry cluster as well as the Taiwan industry’s greater efficiency in comparison with even Japan or Germany to create its unique Continue on page no.100 www.engrreview.com

IN FOCUS

Continued from page no.98 products. 2 - STRONG VALUE CHAIN Under the guidance of Taiwan’s Corporate Synergy Development Center (CSD), a number of Taiwan-based machine tool companies have pooled their resources to create the M-Team Alliance. The Alliance strives to promote lean production and lean management through mutual observation and joint study, in order to raise quality and shorten delivery times throughout the Taiwan machine tool industry, with the aim of adopting a premium brand route to success. The Alliance will leverage the unique features of Taiwan’s Golden Valley to transition away from the past model of individual companies battling alone, in favor of more coordinated efforts to jointly create value, creating a new paradigm for the industry. The resulting focus on systematization, quality and image will allow the world to see the continual progress made by the Taiwan machine tool industry. 3 – SERVICE FOCUS Service industries have always been strengths of Taiwan, and Taiwan’s machine tool and component manufacturers are applying Taiwan’s service model to manufacturing industries by providing customized products to meet the varied requirements of their diverse range of clients. They are also continuing to take on the challenge of providing even faster, shorter-distance service models in an effort to expand their global presence and establish new service points, with the goal of providing rapid, high-quality after-sales service to meet the individual requirements of their end clients as closely as possible. Most Indian machine tool makers, however, lack financial resources and technological know-how, making them less likely to satisfy market demand for more advanced models. 100 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Stuttgart-based Lapp Group provides training & degrees in eleven skilled trades

8 young women and men are beginning their professional lives at Lapp, the Stuttgart-based producer of cables & connection technology. The Lapp Group offers eleven skilled trades, including machinery operator, plant operator, mechatronics engineer & industrial management assistant. Furthermore, integrated degree programmes such as Business Studies with Service Management and Logistics Management can also be undertaken at Lapp. “Good training is the key to young people’s future professional success. But well trained and qualified employees are also a vital component of our company’s success”, explains Andreas Lapp, Chairman of the Board of Lapp Holding AG. Therefore, he says, training plays an essential role at Lapp. From day one, the Lapp trainees will be completely integrated into the company. Over the course of their training, they will get to know virtually all of the departments. And even before the training has officially started, the prospective Lapp employees will be invited to a welcome evening to get to know the trainers and the training officers. The traineeship at Lapp officially starts with a training week in which the new trainees gain initial insight into the

company’s structures and procedures, as well as an overview of their training at Lapp. The company values, the sectors and the brand products will also be presented. The week is capped off by cooperative team building involving all trainee year groups. “In addition to classic training, social skills are also very important to us”, explains Anne Voigt, training coordinator at U.I. Lapp GmbH. In order to improve teamwork skills, the trainees are actively integrated into numerous events and projects. These include the organisation of the annual anniversary celebrations, the company’s appearance at the major trainee and student fair “azubi & studientage” and at “vocatium Stuttgart”, a specialist trade fair for training and study, as well as the “Jobshuttle – Nächster Halt Ausbildung/ Studium” (“Job shuttle - next stop training/study”) careers information event. The trainees also play an active role at Hannover Messe: they are an important part of the team at the Lapp Group stand. The training programme also involves the social project “Mehrwert” (“Added value”), where the trainees carry out social work for two weeks at an institution of their choice and “Tüftler- und Forscherinnentag Baden-Württemberg” (“Tinkerers and researchers

day Baden-Württemberg”), where the trainees at Lapp give nursery groups a playful introduction to the company. Additionally, the professional newcomers are allowed to participate in regular training weeks & in team training. As part of the training programme, the trainees and integrated degree students also have the opportunity to work in one of Lapp’s foreign subsidiaries for four to twelve weeks. There they not only support the employees in their day-to-day work, they are also allowed to work on concrete projects. At Lapp Limited in the United Kingdom, for example, a prospective IT business specialist from Stuttgart helped to improve the IT infrastructure. At Lapp Mexico, a trainee working towards the role of management assistant in wholesale and foreign trade had the task of improving the online presence of Lapp Mexico on search engines and in social networks, while at Lapp Southern Africa a Business Studies student worked on expanding and restructuring the warehouse. “For the trainees, activities abroad like these are not just a nice addition to their CVs, they also play a crucial role in personal development”, Anne Voigt adds. In all, 60 young men and women are currently receiving training at the Stuttgart site.

he need for a systematic procedure for imparting knowledge and training in welding cannot be overemphasized. Blossoming from a skill and an art, to a science and technology, embracing multiple disciplines, and shining as a major manufacturing tool, WELDING, today enjoys a pride of place in the industry. Both the conventional and advanced welding processes are finding increasing application in Indian Industry, according due recognition to the varied needs of the Indian industries, the National Committee on Science & Technology recommended in 1972, the establishment of Research & Development facilities in welding science & technology in the country. The Govt. of India approved the recommendation for establishing the Welding Research Institute, as an adjunct to Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited’s (BHEL) manufacturing unit at Tiruchirappalli. The Welding Research Institute (WRI) was thus founded in November 1, 1975 with the active support of the Government of India through its designated agency, the BHEL, and with the technical and financial assistance under the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) through the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Education, Training & Certification Besides application oriented research, Human Resource Development was one of the key areas identified during the establishment of this Institute. Accordingly, programmes for training and certifying welding and NDT personnel at four different levels has been developed taking into consideration the needs of the various fabricating industries. Broadly, the institute conducts various training programmes

under the following categories: • Training of welders for skill development • Training and certifying of welders to National / International standards • Training of technicians / supervisors • Training of Engineers Under each of these training programmes, different modules have been developed catering to the fabrication needs of the industry and in addition, training is also offered at customer works on case- to- case basis. Training of Welders for Skill Development WRI has a state-of-the-art welder training facility, equipped with the Inverter-based power sources, fume extraction devices and infrastructural facility to train about 50 welders at any given time, and even double it running two shifts. The availability of this unique facility helps welders from within the country and abroad to come for the training and get qualified, thereby enhancing their skill and employability potential. One of the cornerstones of training programs is the acceptance of WRI training by various national and International certifying bodies like Central Boilers Board, American Welding Society (AWS), Welding Technology Institute of Australia (WTIA), etc. Apart from enhancing the skills of the candidate, the Institute also links with organisations, so as to help them in getting a suitable employment in the industry on their own merit. Training of sponsored welders in special materials and processes are also imparted to meet specific demands of the industry on a case –to-case basis www.engrreview.com

viz. welding of titanium tubes for the shipping industry, Welding of Al & its, etc., for Automotive and Space applications. The special feature of these programmes is that while the welder is given ample opportunity to develop his skill by welding practically, theoretical inputs on the DOs and DONTs in welding are also given during classroom sessions. A comprehensive book on welding has been brought out by the institute and is given to all the welders as reading/reference material. This book describes pictorially the various nuances of welding viz. welding process, consumables selection, joint design, defects, welder qualification, safety, etc. and is easily grasped by the participant to enhance his / her knowledge in welding processes, consumables and joint selection, defects, qualification and safety aspects. Welder training by WRI is the most sought after and remains its crowning jewel. Training of Technicians / Supervisors Welding Research Institute has over the years, been conducting training programmes in welding and Inspection including Non-Destructive Testing for the technicians and supervisors.

Recent developments in metalworking fluids

By Ashok Kumar

With the growing rate of industrialization, metal working fluids, commonly known as cutting fluids, continue to be extensively used in machining industries even after the development of advanced processing techniques such as MQL and dry machining.

etalworking fluid (MWF) is the name given to a range of oils and other liquids that are used to cool and/or lubricate metal workpieces when they are being machined, ground, milled, etc. MWFs reduce the heat and friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece, and help prevent burning and smoking. Applying MWFs also helps in improving the quality of the workpiece by continuously removing the fines, chips, and swarfs from the tool being used and the surface of the workpiece. Swarfs are the small pieces of metal removed from a workpiece by a cutting tool. With the growing rate of industrialization, metal working fluids, commonly known as cutting fluids, continue to be extensively used in machining industries even after the development of advanced processing techniques such as MQL and dry machining. The mechanics of metalworking The mechanics of metalworking which governs the requirements for metalworking fluids includes (i) the bility of the fluid to provide a layer of lubricant to act as a cushion between the workpiece and the tool, in order to reduce friction, (ii) functions as a coolant to reduce the heat produced during machining or forming, (iii) prevent metal pick up on both the tool and workpiece by flushing away the chips as they are produced, (iv) produce the desired finish on an accurate piecepart. The impetus in the days of the industrial revolution, is to machine or form part at the highest rate of speed

126 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

with maximum tool life, minimum downtime and the fewest possible part rejects (scrap), all while maintaining accuracy and finish requirements, which can only be achieved by metalworking fluids properties. In metalworking processes, the use of mineral, synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids have gained widespread acceptance. However, the harmful effects and high risk of life threatening occupational hazards to the machinists as well as causing environmental degradation is discouraging to continue its use in the near future. As mentioned above, MWFs are primarily used for three reasons –viz; to remove heat during machining operation, to provide lubricating effect and to facilitate faster chip removal from the machined zone. While MWFs enhance the tool life and reduce the cost of machining operation, it is posing a very serious threat to the health and safety of machinists as well as to the environment. As a result, there is tremendous pressure from global energy authorities and environmental protection agencies to develop bio based alternatives or any other alternative to the presently cutting fluids. It has also gained worldwide importance, making green manufacturing–a philosophical process. The entry and dominance of new, modified, cost effective petroleum and synthetic chemical based cutting fluid has still worsened this condition. A study conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) agency reveals that the detrimental effects of the conventional lubricants, till date, has given rise to

sixty three identifiable health hazards such as skin infection, allergy, acute respiratory disorders etc. Another major problem associated with this, is the disposal of cutting fluids to the environment. The discharge of these non-biodegradable cutting fluids can widely affect the environment due to hazardous metal carry-off, reduction of nutrients in the soil and oxygen depletion. Research & Development Research and development efforts are going on throughout the world to find metal-working fluids that eliminate these problems. One proposed solution is to develop a cutting fluid from microalgae oil. Although there are a large number of vegetable oil based cutting fluids available in the market, the sustainability of its production is questionable due to factors such as farm land utilization where food crops are cultivated and soil fertility depletion. The susceptibility of MWFs to biological contamination and the potential for this to lead to health risks associated with bio-aerosols and infection from hazardous microbial species calls for new technology to detect microbial growth in real-time. The fast response is especially important since microbial outbreaks can occur faster than dipslides can detect harmful microbial species. In the future, we believe that applications of flow cytometry will offer the opportunity to conduct realtime analysis of microbial species and total biomass load. These challenges Continue on page no.128 www.engrreview.com

Continued from page no.126 have encouraged researchers for the development of a more sustainable bio based alternative. The use of algae based third generation bio-lubricants allows effective utilization of industrial waste water and sewage sludge material, which is otherwise hazardous to the aquatic fauna when discharged to the surrounding environment. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) techniques represent another growing class of EALs (environmentally adapted lubricatns). MQL typically involves sprays of compressed air and a small amount of oil to provide the function of a MWF without the large volumes of aqueous waste. However, air is an inefficient coolant and today’s oil-in-air MQL systems are only suitable for mild machining operations that do not require significant heat removal. Therefore research is currently focused on developing new approaches that extend the reach of MQL to more intense machining processes. MQL technologies are relatively new and therefore face technical and economic barriers to implementation. They require new delivery systems dissimilar to those used for aqueous systems. Pilot-scale implementation has shown that MQL systems are less expensive to operate but require significant capital investments in both infrastructure and expertise. Unless environmental and health costs are considered, many companies have considered these costs too high to warrant switching from current systems. Still some manufacturers are making significant investments in MQL due to cost savings and higher performance, as well as for environmental and worker health reasons. Several other large OEM and supplier companies are currently following suit. The environmental, health, performance, and economic benefits of switching from water-based systems to gas-based MQL systems have been 128 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

observed in industry. The cost savings mostly arise by eliminating major infrastructure components in the plant, which represent a significant fraction of water-based MWF system costs. This is important since life cycle MWF costs can represent 10-17% of metals manufacturing costs. Delivery of minimum quantities of lubricants using a spray of air (also called near dry machining) reduces purchase and operational costs while dramatically reducing energy consumption at the MWF system level. MQL systems are even claimed to increase safety and operator morale, largely from the elimination of mist and other oily waste associated with flood delivery of water-based MWFs. To date however, MQL has only been adopted on a limited basis because most workers are not familiar with how to design and implement MQL systems. Technical questions also remain about how to achieve sufficient cooling using MQL in challenging machining operations involving advanced materials. Some form of contaminant control and chemical addition is almost always performed in recirculating MWF systems, driven by costs of MWF acquisition and disposal. In an ideal MWF system, such control systems would achieve a perfect separation of contaminants and return the MWF to its “as new” state. However, contaminant removal on its own cannot address issues such as accumulation of hardness ions, evaporation, pH reduction due to microbial growth, and loss of surfactants. Therefore, even under ideal separation, direct chemical maintenance and biological control is required to extend the life of the MWF. Microfiltration is a membrane-based separation technology that can not only remove microorganisms, but can also remove contaminant particles and free oil from MWF to produce a high quality recyclate. A major difference between conventional filtration and membrane filtration is that conventional filters

operate by capturing particles within a filter matrix, and the filters cannot be regenerated after use. Membrane filtration is typically performed with filtration tangential to the channels of bulk fluid flow. This crossflow mode of operation discourages the accumulation of particles within the filter matrix, and the separation takes place at the surface Membranes can be cleaned and re-used for long periods of time, and essentially indefinitely for ceramic membranes. Therefore, rather than filter clogging with contaminants, the principal limitation to high filtration rates in microfiltration and ultrafiltration is the physical-chemical interaction of MWF ingredients with the membrane surface. Membrane filtration processes, while challenging, have proven to be able to restore the MWF to “good as new” condition. For instance, research has demonstrated the technical feasibility of using ceramic microfiltration membranes to supplement or replace biocides and other treatment technologies as a means to control MWF contamination and create a recycled MWF indistinguishable from new MWFs. However the primary limitation to wider application of membrane filtration technology is its sensitivity to MWF formulation design, particularly to the selection of oils and surfactants and their application concentration. While we know how to design semi-synthetic MWFs to greatly increase their flowrates through microfiltration membranes, no commercially available MWFs have yet used this sustainable MWF design approach, even though it leads to more stable microemulsions regardless of whether they are recycled using membranes. This makes membrane filtration as an approach to improve the sustainability of MWF systems less profitable than it should be. For more information editor@divyamediaonline.com www.engrreview.com

Interpretation of Harmonic Standard: IEEE-519-1992 Introduction: IEEE-519-1992 is one of the widely accepted standards for harmonics. It discusses at length mainly the causes of generation of harmonics, their effects on various components of electrical plant, methods of harmonic analysis, techniques for harmonic control and the acceptable limits for voltage and current harmonics. Though the standard is self-explanatory, this paper throws light on interpretation of tables indicating the voltage and current harmonics from better clarification point of view. Voltage Distortion Limits: Note: The high voltage systems can have up to 2% THD where the cause is an HVDC terminal that will attenuate by the time it is tapped for a user.

Though the standard is self-explanatory, this paper throws light on interpretation of tables indicating the voltage and current harmonics from better clarification point of view.

Interpretation: 1. The individual voltage distortion means the voltage distortion of any harmonic, 2nd,3rd,5th etc. This means that no single harmonic can have contribution more than the figure specified in the table. 2. The total harmonic distortion includes the Root-Sum-Square of all the harmonics. This cannot exceed the values given in the table. 3. As unloaded HVDC system will distort the utility more, hence the limit is relaxed from1.5% to 2% for high voltage systems, however it is expected to fall within the limit of

1.5% after it is tapped for a user. 4. Outside the industrial plant PCC is the Point of Common Coupling which is a point of metering, which can be accessible by the utility as well as consumer, where harmonic measurement is meaningful to both. Within the industrial plant it is the point between the linear load and the non-linear load. 5. As the incoming voltage increases the allowable voltage distortion limits reduce, this is because higher the voltage larger is the power consumption and more responsible is the utility to maintain the harmonics within limits. Current Distortion Limits: Current Distortion Limits are given as per the incoming voltage, the following table shows the limits, for the incoming voltage between 120 V to 69 kV. Even harmonics are limited to 25% of the odd harmonics limits above. Current distortions that result in a DC offset, e.g., Half wave converters are not allowed. *All power generation equipment is limited to these values of current distortion, regardless of actual Isc / IL Where Isc = Maximum short circuit current at PCC. IL = Maximum demand load Continue on page no.132

Continued from page no.130 current (fundamental frequency component) at PCC. TDD = The total root sum square harmonic current distortion, in the percent of the maximum demand load current. Interpretation: 1. As the ratio Isc / IL increases the current distortion limits are relaxed, the reason is that the more the short circuit capacity as compared to the maximum demand current the more is the sturdiness of the incoming power line and the lesser is the voltage distortion for the given current distortion, thus lesser is the power pollution for the given current distortion. 2. As the order of the harmonic increases for the given ratio of Isc / IL, the allowable current distortion reduces. This is because, as the order of the harmonic increases the harmonic becomes more and more harmful. This is due to: • Skin effect increases with the frequency. • Proximity effect increases with the frequency. • Hysteresis losses increase with the square of the frequency. 132 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Hence as the order of the harmonic increases the allowed level of given order of harmonic is reduced. 3. Even harmonics are not allowed beyond 25% of odd harmonics The reason is that even harmonics are due to single phase circuits or due to unbalances in the three phase converters, both of these should be restricted. 4. The harmonic standard gives separate current distortion limits for incoming voltage between 69 kV and 169 kV and beyond 169 kV. For the same ratio of Isc / IL and for the given harmonic order the allowed current distortion reduces with increase in the incoming voltage. This is because as the voltage level increases higher power levels are involved and the responsibility of keeping the harmonic distortion low increases hence the current distortion allowed reduces with increase in incoming voltage. 5. In the table given above the importance is given to the maximum load current (IL), and not to the actual load current, when the limits for TDD (total demand current distortion) are decided; because the actual current may reduce during some parts of the day (during lunch break etc), and when the machines

are loaded to the lesser extent the current distortion increases and it may give wrong warning signal. Whereas even if the distortion increases during less loading the actual harmonic current is less due to less current drawn by the non-linear loads. Thus the harmonic standard IEEE519-1992 puts the appropriate limits on voltage and current distortions.

ith effect from 1st June 2015,by an amendment to the finance bill, every importer who wants to transfer any payment for purchase of any item or a low value spare part, will need to submit form 15CA and 15CB( from a chartered accountant). The amendment reads this way: “In section 195 of the Income-tax Act, for sub-section (6), the following sub-section shall be substituted with effect from the 1st day of June, 2015, namely:— “(6) The person responsible for paying to a non-resident, (not being a company), or to a foreign company, any sum, whether or not chargeable under the provisions of this Act, shall furnish the information relating to payment of such sum, in such form and manner, as may be prescribed.”. What was earlier applicable to NRI payments, eventually got applied to Foreign companies and what was applicable to taxable payments later got applied to cases “whether taxable or not”.

146 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

Form 15CA is a declaration by remitter that the foreign supplier has no tax liability in India. 15CB is to be obtained from a chartered accountant to confirm this. Earlier this was needed only if the transaction is taxable in India , but now it is added that it is necessary whether the transaction is taxable or not. To back up this, the importer is required to get another declaration from the foreign company that he has no tax liability in India and banks are also asking them to fill up form 10F confirming tax residency and no tax liability. An added demand is to produce a tax residency certificate of the supplier company issued by that country’s tax authority. The whole idea seems to be to subcontract the job of locating potential tax payers to Indian manufacturing companies and their chartered accountants. A small scale industry buyer told me that to purchase a 300 euro spare part for the only machine he has in his shed, he was asked to provide all these forms and spend Rs.8000 for the CA certificate. Many foreign countries that sell to India have Avoidance of Double Taxation agreements with India and there is no tax liability. Though in such cases, a Tax Residency certificate will answer all these questions, many importers are running around to collect these impractical documentation, going by the letter of the amendment. Even when the foreign firms have Indian subsidiaries, they will be operating as independent legal entities for the purpose of taxation and need not

be Permanent establishments of the foreign parent. If at all government wants to collect some tax from such subsidiaries, the easiest thing would have been to pass a law that all subsidiaries of foreign companies operating in India must pay an extra Income tax of x%. That could have avoided every importer of a screw or pin running after foreign companies to get impractical declarations and then run after chartered accountants to provide certificates for which they have no data available. No foreign company has the facilities to respond to thousands of requests from India to produce declarations and forms for a 300 Euro order from India. That is not the way the world do business. If the Indian chartered accountant has to give a certificate that the foreign company that is supplying 300 euro spare part to an Indian small business, about the foreign company’s tax liability in India, he need to have access to the books of accounts of the foreign company, which is totally impractical. Make in India will be easier if the makers can import essential ingredients and spares without tonnes of paper work . Ease of business will improve here if simple business processes are not complicated by avoidable new laws. – A.P.Jàyanthram, Managing Director, Heidenhain Optics & Electronics India Pvt. Ltd

Power Scenario In India Then & Now: An Insight

rom the time immemorial human race has survived, grown, flourished and prospered on the basis of energy produced, established and utilized. The invention of fire accidentally proved a major boost for early man to evolve into what we are today. This discovery paved way to exploration of the tremendous potential. Major inventions of science focused on harnessing energy and converting it from one form to another to achieve mechanical work. The discovery of electricity has paved way to the most flexible source of energy. From powering consumer appliances, to multi-gear machines that manufacture and assemble goods and even certain artificial intelligence in the form of computers and modern robotics, electricity is synonymous with power. Our early milestones India has always been a pioneer in the generation and utilization of electricity since the 19th century. Major developments associated with harnessing the full potential of electricity are as follows: • The first demonstration of electric light in Calcutta was conducted on

148 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

24 July 1879. • The first hydroelectric installation in India was installed near a tea estate at Sidrapong for the Darjeeling Municipality in 1897. • Maharaja Partap Singh established the first hydroelectric power station in Jammu & Kashmir at Mohra in Baramulla in 1905. • Company (B.E.S.T.) set up a generating station in 1905 to provide electricity for the tramway. • The first electric train ran between Bombay’s Victoria Terminus and Kurla along the harbor Line. • First Hydel power project at Darjeeling was established in 1897. Ever since, the electricity sector in India is growing leaps and bounds, exhibiting great dynamism and exponential growth. The utility electricity sector in India had an installed capacity of 271.722 GW as of end March 2015. Renewable Power plants constituted 28% of total installed capacity and Non-Renewable Power Plants constituted the remaining 72%. The gross electricity generated by utilities is 1106 TWh (1106,000 GWh) and 166 TWh by captive power plants during the 2014–15 fiscal. The gross electricity

generation includes auxiliary power consumption of power generation plants. India became the world’s third largest producer of electricity in the year 2013 with 4.8% global share in electricity generation surpassing Japan and Russia. During the year 2014-15, the per capita electricity consumption in India was 1010 kWh with total electricity consumption (utilities and non utilities) of 938.823 billion kWh. [1] Electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded highest (18.45%) in 2014-15 among all countries. The per capita electricity consumption is lower compared to many countries despite cheaper electricity tariff in India. State-owned and privately owned companies are significant players in India’s electricity sector, with the private sector growing at a faster rate. India’s central government and state governments jointly regulate electricity sector in India. Major economic and social drivers for India’s push for electricity generation include India’s goal to provide universal access, the need to replace current highly polluting energy sources in use in India with cleaner energy sources, a rapidly growing economy, increasing household incomes, limited domestic reserves of fossil fuels and the adverse impact on the environment of rapid development in urban and regional areas. The growth impetus to the power sector is further fuelled by firm and flexible regulations framed by the Ministry of Power, Government of India. One of the major regulations is the Electricity Act of 2003. Electricity Act 2003 has been enacted and came into force from 15.06.2003. The objective is to introduce competition, protect consumer’s interests and provide power for all.

It is a comprehensive legislation replacing Electricity Act 1910, Electricity Supply Act 1948 and Electricity Regulatory Commission Act 1998.The Electricity Act, 2003 has been amended on two occasions by the Electricity (Amendment) Act, 2003 and the Electricity (Amendment) Act, 2007. The aim is to push the sector onto a trajectory of sound commercial growth and to enable the States and the Centre to move in harmony and coordination. Energy Sources 1) Thermal power: Thermal power plants convert energy rich fuels such as coal, natural gas, petroleum products, agricultural waste, domestic trash/ waste, etc. into electricity. Other sources of fuel include landfill gas and biogases. In some plants, renewal fuels such as biogas are co-fired with coal. Coal and lignite accounted for about 60% of India’s total installed capacity. India’s electricity sector consumes

about 72% of the coal produced in the country. India expects that its projected rapid growth in electricity generation over the next couple of decades is expected to be largely met by thermal power plants. 2) Hydropower: The hydro-electric power plants at Darjeeling and Shimsha (Shivanasamudra) were established in 1898 and 1902 respectively and were among the first in Asia. India is endowed with economically exploitable and viable hydro potential assessed be about 84,000 MW at 60% load factor. In addition, 6740 MW in terms of installed capacity from Small, Mini, and Micro Hydel schemes have been assessed. Also, 56 sites for pumped storage schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of 94,000 MW have been identified. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy. India is blessed with immense amount of hydroelectric potential and ranks 5th in terms of exploitable hydro-potential on global scenario. 3) Nuclear power: India’s nuclear power plant development began in 1964. India signed an agreement with General Electric of the United States for

the construction and commissioning of two boiling water reactors at Tarapur. In 1967, this effort was placed under India’s Department of Atomic Energy. In 1971, India set up its first pressurized heavy water reactors with Canadian collaboration in Rajasthan. In 1987, India created Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited to commercialize nuclear power. Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited is a public sector enterprise, wholly owned by the Government of India, under the administrative control of its Department of Atomic Energy. Its objective is to implement and operate nuclear power stations for India’s electricity sector. The state-owned company has ambitious plans to establish 63 GW generation capacity by 2032, as a safe, environmentally benign and economically viable source of electrical energy to meet the increasing electricity needs of India Renewable Sources of Energy for power generation: a) Solar energy: India is endowed with a vast solar energy potential. India receives one of the highest global solar radiations energy of about 5,000 trillion kWh per year is incident over India’s land mass with most parts receiving 4-7 kWh per m2 per day. Under Solar Mission, a central government initiative, India plans to generate 1 GW of power by 2013 and up to 20 GW grid-based solar power, 2 GW of off-grid solar power and cover 20 million square meters with solar energy collectors by 2020. India plans utility scale solar power generation plants through solar parks with dedicated infrastructure by state governments, among others, the governments of Gujarat and Rajasthan. b) Wind power: India has the fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.

The largest wind power generating state was Tamil Nadu accounting for 30% of installed capacity, followed in decreasing order by Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Rajasthan. c) Biomass power: In this system biomass, bagasse, forestry and agro residue & agricultural wastes are used as fuel to produce electricity. Nearly 750 million tons of non edible (by cattle) biomass is available annually in India which can be put to use for higher value addition. d) Geothermal energy: Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. India’s geothermal energy installed capacity is experimental. Commercial use is insignificant. According to some ambitious estimates, India has 10,600 MW of potential in the geothermal provinces but it still needs to be exploited. India has potential resources to harvest geothermal energy. The resource map for India has been grouped into six geothermal provinces: • Himalayan Province – Tertiary Orogenic belt with Tertiary magmatic rocks. • Areas of Faulted blocks – Aravalli belt, Naga-Lushi, West coast regions and Son-Narmada lineament. • Volcanic arc – Andaman and Nicobar arc. • Deep sedimentary basin of Tertiary age such as Cambay basin in Gujarat. • Radioactive Province – Surajkund, Hazaribagh, Jharkhand. • Cratonic province – Peninsular India e) Tidal wave energy: Tidal energy technologies

energy from the seas. The potential of tidal wave energy becomes higher in certain regions by local effects such as shelving, funnelling, reflection and resonance. India is surrounded by sea on three sides; its potential to harness tidal energy is significant. In December 2011, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Government of India and the Renewable Energy Development Agency of Govt. of West Bengal jointly approved and agreed to implement India’s first 3.75 MW Durgaduani mini tidal power project. Indian government believes that tidal energy may be an attractive solution to meet the local energy demands of this remote delta region. Demand Of the 1.4 billion people of the world who have no access to electricity in the world, India accounts for over 300 million. The International Energy Agency estimates India will add between 600 GW to 1,200 GW of additional new power generation capacity before 2050. This added new capacity is equivalent to the 740 GW of total power generation capacity of European Union (EU-27) in 2005. The technologies and fuel sources India adopts, as it adds this electricity generation capacity, may make significant impact to global resource usage and environmental issues. Some 800 million Indians use traditional fuels fuelwood, agricultural waste and biomass cakes – for cooking and general heating needs. These traditional fuels are burnt in cook stoves, known as chulah or chulha in some parts of India. Traditional fuel is inefficient source of energy, its burning releases high levels of smoke, PM10 particulate matter, NOX, SOX, PAHs, polyaromatics, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and other air pollutants. Some reports, including one by the World Health Organization, claim 300,000 to 400,000 people in India die of indoor air pollution and carbon monoxide poisoning every year because of

biomass burning and use of chullahs. Traditional fuel burning in conventional cook stoves releases unnecessarily large amounts of pollutants, between 5 to 15 times higher than industrial combustion of coal, thereby affecting outdoor air quality, haze and smog, chronic health problems, damage to forests, ecosystems and global climate. Burning of biomass and firewood will not stop, these reports claim, unless electricity or clean burning fuel and combustion technologies become reliably available and widely adopted in rural and urban India. The growth of electricity sector in India may help find a sustainable alternative to traditional fuel burning. In addition to air pollution problems, a 2007 study finds that discharge of untreated sewage is single most important cause for pollution of surface and ground water in India. There is a large gap between generation and treatment of domestic wastewater in India. The problem is not only that India lacks sufficient treatment capacity but also that the sewage treatment plants that exist do not operate and are not maintained. Majority of the government-owned sewage treatment plants remain closed most of the time in part because of the lack of reliable electricity supply to operate the plants. The wastewater generated in these areas normally percolates in the soil or evaporates. The uncollected wastes accumulate in the urban areas cause unhygienic conditions, release heavy metals and pollutants that leaches to surface and groundwater. Almost all rivers, lakes and water bodies are severely polluted in India. Water pollution also adversely impacts river, wetland and ocean life. Reliable generation and supply of electricity is essential for addressing India’s water pollution and associated environmental issues. Other drivers for India’s electricity sector are its rapidly growing economy, rising exports, Continue on page no.154 www.engrreview.com

Demand trends During the fiscal year 2014-15, the electricity generated in utility sector is 1,030.785 billion KWh with a short fall of requirement by 38.138 billion KWh (-3.6%) against the 5.1% deficit anticipated. The peak load met was 141,180 MW with a short fall of requirement by 7,006 MW (-4.7%) against the 2.0% deficit anticipated. In a May 2015 report, India’s Central Electricity Authority anticipated, for the 2015–16 fiscal year, a base load energy deficit and peaking shortage to be 2.1% and 2.6% respectively. Southern and North Eastern regions are anticipated to face energy shortage up to 11.3%. The marginal deficit figures clearly reflect that India would become electricity surplus during the 12th five-year plan period. In December 2011, over 300 million Indian citizens had no access to frequent electricity. Over one third of India’s rural population lacked electricity, as did 6% of the urban population. Of those who did have access to electricity in India, the supply was intermittent and unreliable. In 2010, blackouts and power shedding interrupted irrigation and manufacturing across the country. States such as Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, etc. provide continuous power supply. Despite an ambitious rural electrification programme, some 400 million Indians lose electricity access during blackouts. According to a sample of 97,882 households in 2002, electricity was the main source of lighting for 53% of rural households compared to 36% in 1993. While 80% of Indian villages have at least an electricity line, just 52.5% of rural households have access to electricity. In urban areas, the access to electricity is 93.1% in 2008. The overall electrification rate in India is 64.5% while 35.5% of the population still lives without access to electricity. 154 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

The 17th electric power survey of India report claims: • Over 2010–11, India’s industrial demand accounted for 35% of electrical power requirement, domestic household use accounted for 28%, agriculture 21%, commercial 9%, public lighting and other miscellaneous applications accounted for the rest. • The electrical energy demand for 2016–17 is expected to be at least 1,392 Tera Watt Hours, with a peak electric demand of 218 GW. • The electrical energy demand for 2021–22 is expected to be at least 1,915 Tera Watt Hours, with a peak electric demand of 298 GW. If current average transmission and distribution average losses remain same (32%), India needs to add about 135 GW of power generation capacity, before 2017, to satisfy the projected demand after losses. India’s demand for electricity may cross 300 GW, earlier than most estimates. To explain their estimates, there are four primary reasons: • India’s manufacturing sector is likely to grow faster than in the past. • Domestic demand will increase more rapidly as the quality of life for more Indians improve. • About 125,000 villages are likely to get connected to India’s electricity grid. • Blackouts and load shedding artificially suppresses demand; this demand will be sought as revenue potential by power distribution companies. A demand of 300 GW will require about 400 GW of installed capacity it is further noted. The extra capacity is necessary to account for plant availability, infrastructure maintenance, spinning reserve and losses.

In 2010, electricity losses in India during transmission and distribution were about 24%, while losses because of consumer theft or billing deficiencies added another 10–15%. According to two studies published in 2004, theft of electricity in India, amounted to a nationwide loss of $4.5 billion. This led several states of India to enact and implement regulatory and institutional framework; develop a new industry and market structure; and privatize distribution. Power cuts are common throughout India and the consequent failure to satisfy the demand for electricity has adversely effected India’s economic growth. Problems with India’s power sector • Inadequate last mile connectivity is the main problem to supply electricity for all users. The country has already adequate generation and transmission capacity to meet the full demand temporally and spatially. However, due to lack of lastmile link-up with all electricity consumers and reliable power supply (to exceed 99%), many consumers depend on Diesel Generator sets using costly diesel oil for meeting unavoidable power requirements. The distribution companies should focus on providing uninterrupted power supply to all the consumers who are using costly DG set’s power. This should be achieved by laying separate buried power cables (not to be effected by rain and winds) for emergency power supply in addition to the normal supply lines. Emergency supply power line shall supply power when the normal power supply line is not working. Emergency power supply would be charged at higher price without any subsidy but less than the generation cost from diesel oil. Nearly 80 billion KWh electricity is generated annually in India by DG sets, which are consuming nearly 15 million tons of Continue on page no.156 www.engrreview.com

Continued from page no.154 diesel oil. • Demand build up measures can be initiated to consume the cheaper electricity (average price Rs 2.5 per kWhr at generator’s supply point) available from the grid instead of running the coal/gas/oil fired captive power plants in various electricity intensive industries. • A system of cross-subsidization is practiced based on the principle of ‘the consumer’s ability to pay’. In general, the industrial and commercial consumers subsidize the domestic and agricultural consumers. Further, Government giveaways such as free electricity for farmers, partly to curry political favor, have depleted the cash reserves of staterun electricity-distribution system. This has financially crippled the distribution network, and its ability to pay for power to meet the demand. • The residential building sector is one of the largest consumers of electricity in India. Continuous urbanization and the growth of population result in increasing power consumption in buildings. Thus, while experts express the huge potential for energy conservations in this sector, the belief still predominates among stakeholders that energy-efficient buildings are more expensive than conventional buildings, which adversely affects the “greening” of the building sector. • Key implementation challenges for India’s electricity sector include new project management and execution, ensuring availability of fuel quantities and qualities, lack of initiative to develop large coal and natural gas resources available in India, land acquisition, environmental clearances at state and central government level, and training of skilled manpower to prevent talent shortages for operating latest technology plants. • Shortages of fuel: despite abundant 156 | AUGUST 2015 | ENGINEERING REVIEW

reserves of coal, India is facing a severe shortage of coal. The country isn’t producing enough to feed its power plants. Some plants do not have reserve coal supplies to last a day of operations. India’s monopoly coal producer, state-controlled Coal India, is constrained by primitive mining techniques and is rife with theft and corruption; Coal India has consistently missed production targets and growth targets. Poor coal transport infrastructure has worsened these problems. To expand its coal production capacity, Coal India needs to mine new deposits. However, most of India’s coal lies under

“The world has today 546 nuclear plants generating electricity. Their experience is being continuously researched, and feedback should be provided to all. Nuclear scientists have to interact with the people of the nation, and academic institutions continuously update nuclear power generation technology and safety.” Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam protected forests or designated tribal lands. Any mining activity or land acquisition for infrastructure in these coal-rich areas of India has been rife with political demonstrations, social activism and public interest litigations. • Poor pipeline connectivity and infrastructure to harness India’s abundant coal bed methane and shale gas potential. • The giant new offshore natural gas field has delivered less fuel than projected. India faces a shortage of natural gas. • Hydroelectric power projects in India’s mountainous north and north east regions have been slowed

down by ecological, environmental and rehabilitation controversies, coupled with public interest litigations. • Theft of power • Losses in the connector systems/ service connections leading to premature failure of capital equipments like transformers • India’s nuclear power generation potential has been stymied by political activism since the Fukushima disaster in Japan. • Average transmission, distribution and consumer-level losses exceeding 30% which includes auxiliary power consumption of thermal power stations, fictitious electricity generation by wind generators & independent power producers (IPPs), etc. • Over 300 million (300 million) people in India have no access to electricity. Of those who do, almost all find electricity supply intermittent and unreliable. • Lack of clean and reliable energy sources such as electricity is, in part, causing about 800 million (800 million) people in India to continue using traditional biomass energy sources – namely fuel wood, agricultural waste and livestock dung – for cooking and other domestic needs. Traditional fuel combustion is the primary source of indoor air pollution in India, causes between 300,000 to 400,000 deaths per year and other chronic health issues. • India’s coal-fired, oil-fired and natural gas-fired thermal power plants are inefficient and offer significant potential for greenhouse gas (CO2) emission reduction through better technology. Compared to the average emissions from coal-fired, oilfired and natural gas-fired thermal power plants in European Union (EU-27) countries, India’s thermal power plants emit 50% to 120% more CO2 per kWh produced. www.engrreview.com

Rotan Petrochemical Duty Series Pumps Features

PD101 with single mechanical seal cutaway view

Rotan Pumps PD (Petrochemical Duty) rugged, carbon steel, internal gear pump series are specifically designed for pumping requirements where shock resistance, extra strength, durability, and extended operation life are a requirement. With two moving parts, the “gear-withina-gear” principle ensures positive flow and low shear transmission of liquid. They posses excellent vacuum capability and can operate equally well in either direction. The simple design allows the pump to be adaptable to a wide range of applications and conforms to most API 676 requirements. This makes the PD series ideal for pumping

liquids such as- fuel oils, gasoline, lube oils, greases and other hydrocarbon based fluids. With its modular design, the Rotan series pumps provide interchangeability of parts within the 10 PD pump size variations. This permits easy conversion from a standard to a specialized pump. All PD series pumps come with carbon graphite bearings and integral safety relief valve as a standard. Furthermore, the “true” back pullout design, when used in connection with spacer coupling, allows easy disassembly/inspection of the unit without removing the casing from the process line, reducing down time.
