Project manager: Energy Management Cell

• Jul 2007 - Sep 2008

Project Manager in the technical services department (Energy Management Cell) : Major responsibilities are detailed below: 1. Identification and measurement of energy conservation measures - feasibility appraisal, recommendation for implementation and follow up for estimated savings (e.g. Emissivity coating for Naphtha crackers to reduce structural energy losses (by thermography survey)). 2. Design of heat exchangers and appraising performance of existing heat exchangers using HTRI (Heat Transfer Research Inc.) Simulation Software. 3. Analysis of process specific consumptions primarily on energy, raw materials and utilities based on historical data, carrying out material balances (heat and mass). 4. Periodic internal audits in Naphtha cracker plant and utilities (Power, Steam and Cooling water) plant. 5. Detail audit of all the steam traps of the complex for condensate return. 6. Devising forward path for optimum steam & power generation by identifying the reasons for deviation in steam & power generation and consumption pattern. 7. Developed plant steam balance (snap shot - with live values) using the software IP21 for better monitoring and utilization purpose. 8. Involved in project design document preparation, emission reduction calculation, assisted in validation and queries clearance for two CDM projects “Energy Efficiency through heat recovery in Vadodara manufacturing division” (Methodology: AMS-III.Q / version 1: Waste gas based energy systems) and “Demand side energy efficiency project” (Type AMS-III.Q / version 1: Waste gas based energy systems).

Process Engineer - Technical Services

• Apr 2005 - Jul 2007

Process Engineer (Technical services). Work scope includes the following: 1. Trouble shooting of Ammonia plant (combination of M/s Kellogg and M/s Haldor Topsoe design) operation, especially for primary & secondary reformers, shift converter, CO2 absorption section and synthesis loop sections. 2. Energy conservation measures - feasibility appraisal, recommendation for implementation and follow up for estimated savings (LNG preheater, diversion of Ammonia vapor from Ammonia storage tank to refrigeration compressor in Ammonia plant, installation of condensate stripper for process condensate, feasibility study on Carbon dioxide recovery plant). 3. Analysis of specific consumptions (primarily on energy, raw materials and utilities) of processes based on historical data, carrying out material balances (heat and mass), analysis of equipment performance and identification and measurement of energy saving opportunities in Ammonia and Urea Plants. 4. Assessment of the overall performance of Ammonia plant against approved targets on a day-to-day basis, in terms of material and energy balance for specific energy consumption and identifying existing or potential technical problems. 5. Involved in CDM project “Reduction in steam consumption through revamping of Ammonia plant” – AM0018 – Steam optimization systems. Show less
