Adopting EnMS ISO 50001 : One amongst pioneers in Indian cement industry to adopt prestigious EnMS ISO:50001 system. It orchestrated entire organisation towards movement. Structured steps of monitoring and awareness sourced novel ideas for implementation, which yielded coveted results. Distribution Transformers Load Rationalisation: Re-visiting loading pattern on distribution and power transformers of entire network suggested enough scope for rationalisation. 06 transformers switched off in entire plant, which helped in reducing losses ~ 35 kwh * 24 = 840 units/day. Planned schedule to switch on in a month time to avoid any degradation.
Utilities Load Optimisation: Re-view of plant area illumination as per Lux level and provision of onoff switches at accessible points. BC galleries, loading platforms and desolate equipment areas yielded maximum saving opportunities. Intense monitoring of compressors' utilisation & run-hours through DCS, equipment cooling and process water consumption, optimisation of HVAC with false ceiling provisions, use of VFD in P&V systems. Daylight utilisation wherever possible, use of transparent sheets in warehouses and workshops. LED lights replacing conventional ones for area & offices, Solar lights. Power less exhaust fans, switching off welding machines when not is use. Optimisation of auxiliary power consumption in DG House.
508,305 555,528 465,837 697,701 PRISM Improvement due to actions taken in utilities consumption: 800000 700000 Utilities Consumption (kwh) 600000 500000 400000 300000 200000 100000 0 Jan-15 Feb-15 Mar-15 Apr-15
Opportunity in Motors Efficiency: Identification of under loaded motors and arranging suitable replacement from available stock. Benefit ~ 37.5 kw. Replacement of Cooler ESP Fan SRIM motor (SPRS driven, limitation of operation above 70% rpm) with DC motor, which helped operation of fan below 50% rpm as per process requirement. Power factor improvement at motors' side. Process Optimisation: Plenty of scope was identified and worked out at different fronts for process optimisation to reduce specific power consumption. These are mentioned in above list. Resulted reduction in Sp. Power Consumption ~ 1.5 kwh/t of cement.
Time of Day Tariff (TOD) Utilisation: As per applicable MPERC tariff structure Peak hour surcharge - 5% surcharge Off peak rebate - 15% rebate Stopping equipment during peak hour and maximizing equipment run during off- peak hours results in reduced bills. Calculations and experience indicate ~ 03-04 paisa/kwh on total day wise energy bills reduction, if plant operational requirement is met with production plan. Implemented the practice with participation of cross functional team. SOP prepared and circulated to all for awareness and controls. Actual monetary benefit ranges ~ Rs. 9 to 10 lac/month, depending upon capacity utilisation of plant.
RESULT Month Savings due to TOD tariff Remarks utilisation (Rs.) January 3,53,592 Experiment started February 10,54,302 March 11,05,545 April 5,04,841 One plant under shut down Plan reduced MD of U-II to ~36 MVA from 40 MVA, and for U-I 28.9 MVA from 32 MVA. Also helped to improve predictive maintenance and improve upon MTBF and MTTR.
Staggered Run of Equipment to Reduce Maximum Demand: Improvement in MTBF/MTTR helped to improve Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). This improvement invoked thought of staggered run of equipment as production requirement were now being met by even reduced run factor. Analysis of the process capabilities w.r.t. required production plan allowed staggered running of all sections except Kiln.
Contract Demand Reduction: Staggered run of sections, TOD tariff utilisation tends to reduce overall LF, which can affect unit rate, unless MD and CD of plant are in tandem. Energy efficiency measures, coupled with equipment efficiency improvement and process optimisation, created opportunity to reduce the Contract Demand (CD) of both Units. In U-I we could restrict the Contract Demand from 32 to 30 MVA and in U-II it was done from 40 MVA to 37 MVA. Reducing the CD not only improves upon Load Factor, but also has impact on the fixed cost, demand side reduction on load and overall GHG emissions.

Optimisation of shutdown power: - Switched OFF 7 Nos of Distribution transformers out of 10 and one Power transformer out of 02. - Compressors running reduced by on demand run, as compressed air required for Girth Gear Lubrication system of Kiln Aux. only while brick lining. - Bag House fan power reduced by lowering the minimum speed limit from 110 to 50 RPM for shutdown period. - RABH dust transport circuit switched OFF immediately after plant shutdown. - PA Fan switched OFF and smaller size Emergency air fan taken into operation for cooling.
POST IMPLEMENTATION - RESULTS Measures taken showed up astonishing results. Few of them: - Clinkerisation power ~ 48 kwh/t of clinker, frequently touches even 45.5 kwh/t. - Cement grinding power ~ 24.2 kwh/t of cement, often comes as even 21.5 kwh/t. - Sp. Power Consumption ~ 63.5 kwh/t of cement, comes as low as 55.4 kwh/t of cement.
PAT SUCCESS BEE had given a tough target to achieve w.r.t. baseline study for PAT Cycle-I. Apparently extremely difficult to achieve the target, as projects, which PCL had intended & declared for execution, failed to realise due to unexpected failures & constraints. Estimated penalty due to non-achievement was looming around Rs. 15 crore.
PCL marched ahead with above explained energy saving measures and firm determination. Turnaround happened! Appointed Accredited Empanelled Energy Auditor TERI conducted M&V audit during May'15 and came up with following results: 790 780 770 760 750 740 730 720 710 783 SEC : kcal/kg of equivalent product 749 737 Baseline Target Achieved Implemented measures suggest issuance of E-Certs equivalent to ~ Rs 4cr. instead of penalty ~ Rs. 15 cr! Data submitted to BEE for review. This turn around happened for out of box measures implementation.
FORTHCOMING MEASURES - Process Fans Retrofitting: Study indicates that scope of ~ 900 kw saving is there with payback of < 1 year. -Small Projects on Process Optimisation: Areas have been identified for further load reduction to the tune of ~ 1.3 MW (both Units combined). These are under implementation & observation stage. -Cheaper Power purchase through Open Access: In quest of cheaper power, we have applied to our discom for allowing us power purchase through Open Access mechanism. Through IEX we can get cheaper power as & when available. Other feasibility of group captive mode is under evaluation, which may benefit us intensively.
FORTHCOMING MEASURES -Power generation from Waste Heat Recovery System: Plant has potential to generate power ~ 14 MW through WHRS. It is under evaluation and expect to implement in coming FY. -Unit -I Clinker Cooler Upgradation: Upgradation of U-I clinker cooler has not only potential to save ~ 2 kwh/t of clinker, but also can result benefit of ~25 kcal/kg of clinker. It is under evaluation for implementation.
WRAP UP Effective guidance and will full execution reaped out the benefits! Coming out of blues, once again PCL is on the path of being NUMERO UNO of Indian Cement Industry, in all respects. With implemented measures, continuous monitoring & analysis, corrections to meet desired results and forthcoming projects, we are sure to achieve < 55 kwh/t of cement on consistent basis. Truly said... " One Unit Saved = Two Units Generated".
