otte Chemical Pakistan Ltd’s (LCPL) editorial team is pleased to present the second edition of the 2014 newsletter. The second quarter of the year kicked off with the election of the Company’s new Board of Directors. We congratulate Mr. Changgyou Kim, Mr. Jung Neon Kim, Mr. Hyun Chul Park, Mr. Hun Ki Lee, Mr. Oh Hun Im, Mr. M Qasim Khan, Mr Pervaiz Akhtar and Mr. Itaqbal Mehdi on their successful election as LPCL Board members. While we welcome the new Board of Directors, we also bid farewell to Mr. Asif Saad (former Chief Executive LPCL) who opted for early retirement after 22 years of service at the company. The eventful summer of 2014 has allowed employees of LCPL to engage in various competitive activities such as the Annual Table Tennis tournament, talent competition and the LCPL summer festival. Employees of the company also celebrated Earth Day where over 200 new trees were planted at the plant site. These activities have not only promoted a healthier lifestyle but also allowed employees of LCPL to interact with colleagues from other departments. The Total Production Management (TPM) activities also continued well into 2014 with positive response from all participants. Results from these activities have been remarkable so far. Our ERT (Emergency Response Team) personnel at the plant must be commended for their heroic 4-hour effort to subdue a fire that broke out in a nearby industrial textile unit. This event highlights the high standards of HSE and a culture of community involvement maintained at LCPL. Lastly, the editorial team would like to thank you for your support and encouragement. It there are any suggestions, please feel free to contact any of the editorial team members.

A Sincere Effort Can Make a Big Difference
T
he Co-Generation plant provides energy to the electrical drives by Arshad Ali of the base plant. Water wash activities are carried out at the gas turbine almost every month for efficient operation. The activity took twelve hours to complete and during that time the plant energy requirements were furnished through KElectric. During the water wash activity, the turbine is taken offline and thus the process energy requirements are met through unreliable KE grid rendering the process vulnerable to frequent turbulence and power dips. The cost charged by KE is substantially higher than the cost incurred in self generation. Additionally, steam is also produced from HRSG resulting in the reduction of load on the utility boilers, taking one boiler offline. Team Co-Gen realizes its responsibility towards economical and reliable operations. The Co-Gen team took the challenge to reduce the water wash time. Through deliberation and effective time management we were able to reduce the water wash time by four hours resulting in substantial saving in the OPEX and ensuring reliable operations.

An initiative was taken at this point by the Co-Gen Mechanical Team to clean these filters so that they could be used as back-up spares if required. The straightforward way to clean the filters was to clean them manually using Instrument Air. However, after evaluating this option, the team concluded that this option was unsuitable as it required a lot of manpower and time. Co-Gen Mechani-

It has been observed that when the motors are installed at the structure after overhauling / refurbishment work, the vibrations tend to go on higher side as compared to its test run. This issue was observed whenever a new G1-1209 motor was installed. The test bench facility at the workshop can only test 400 volt motors and testing these motors do not yield the required results. A solution was required to test the motors on its actual running voltage in order to observe the motor behavior and also to rule out any issue with the motor foundation or alignment. A motor test bench has been developed in-house and has been installed in the plant area near the G1-1209 motors. By installing the test bench, it is now possible to carry out the test run of the motors under actual running conditions. This idea was materialized and implemented successfully by the effort of Mr. Muhammad Kamran Khan and Mr. Khalil Ahmed Ansari who put in their best to complete the preparation and installation of this test bench in area. So far this test bench has been used to ascertain the health of avrious repaired / refurbished motors for G1-1209 sundyne pumps and has helped in health verification of these motors. This concept of test bench installation in the area depicts the commitment and innovative approach of the electrical team which has helped in developing an indigenous solution to a chronic and repeated issue of motor test run for HV motors particularly for G11209 motors.

Naegleria Fowleri Brain-eating Amoeba It is a single–celled (amoeba) living organism which is commonly found in the warm, fresh waters of lakes, rivers and hot springs and soil. Only Naegleria fowleri infects people.
How does Naegleria fowleri infect people?
Though infections are very rare, they commonly occur in the summer months of July, August, September and October when it is hot for prolonged periods resulting in water with higher temperatures and lower water levels.
Can infection spread from one person to another?
by Dr. Firoze R. Patel
People get infected with Naegleria fowleri when water containing this amoeba enters the body through the nose. This usually occurs when people go swimming or diving in warm fresh waters of pools, lakes and rivers. The amoeba, travels up the nose to the brain and destroys brain tissue. One cannot be infected by drinking Naegleria fowleri-contaminated water. Infection may also occur when Naegleria fowleri-contaminated water from other sources like inadequately chlorinated swimming pool water or heated and contaminated tap water enters the nose when people submerge their heads or perform religious ablutions e.g. vazoo, or use the contaminated water to irrigate their sinuses via the nose.
Where is Naegleria fowleri found? It is found all over the world. It has surfaced in Karachi this year and taken 10 lives so far. Naegleria fowleri is found in: »» The warm fresh waters of lakes and rivers »» Naturally hot water in hot springs »» Warm water discharged from industrial plants »» Naturally hot sources of drinking water »» Poorly maintained, minimally chlorinated or un-chlorinated water of swimming pools »» Water Heaters – the amoeba grows best at high temperatures up to 1150F or 460C and can survive for short periods at higher temperatures. »» Soil. The amoeba does not exist in salt water e.g. the ocean.
At what temperatures does Naegleria fowleri cause infection?
No.
What are the symptoms of the infection?
Naegleria fowleri causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a brain infection resulting in the destruction of brain tissue. Initial symptoms start 5 days (range 1-7 day) after infection. Initial symptoms: »» Headache, »» Fever, »» Nausea or vomiting. Later symptoms: »» Stiff neck, »» Confusion, »» Lack of attention to people and surroundings, »» Loss of balance, »» Seizures (fits), »» Hallucinations. Following the symptoms, the disease progresses rapidly and causes death usually within 5 days (range 1-12 days)
What is the mechanism of death? Brain tissue is destroyed resulting in brain swelling and death.
What is the fatality rate of infected persons showing signs and symptoms? The fatality rate is over 99%. 1 person out of 123 known infected persons in the USA from 1962-2011 have been known to survive.
Is there any treatment for people infected with the As mentioned above the amoeba is a heat-loving microbe disease? which grows best at high temperatures up to 1150F (460C) and can survive for short periods at even higher temperatures. It is There is no consensus on any drug regime as all infections less likely to be found in water as temperature lessens. However have been fatal, even when patients have been treated with the it can be found in lake or river sediment at temperatures well be- same drug combinations. low the temperatures at which it exists in water.
Diagnosis and detection What is Naegleria fowleri’s source of food? The amoeba eats other microbes like bacteria from the sediment in lakes and rivers.
Can one get infected from a properly disinfected swimming pool? No.
When do Naegleria fowleri infections commonly occur?
19
PAM and Naegleria Fowleri can be diagnosed in the lab by detecting: »» The organisms in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), biopsy or tissue specimens. »» Naegleria fowleri nucleic acid in CSF, biopsy or tissue specimens. »» Naegleria fowleri antigen in CSF, biopsy or tissue specimens. »» Amoeba Culture.
