ANNEXURE I TO THE BOARD'S REPORT
A.
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
Energy Conservation continuous to be a key focus area for the
manufacturing plants and related functions. Scheduled monthly
performance review, continuous improvement program help to
optimize, reduce specific consumption of fuel, power and water.
Benchmarking of best performance, base lining of best consumption
and identification of losses is considered for setting targets. Energy
Monitoring system section wise data is analysed to arrive at
mitigation plans and improvements on renewable energy, alternate
fuels, bio-fuels and clean sources of energy are being evaluated for
immediate and future requirements.
(i) The steps taken or impact on energy conservation:
The following measures implemented to reduce specific fuel
consumption.
Identifying losses in process lines and correction of leaks
to reduce the steam consumption.
Improving utilization by isolation of lower utilized
process lines to minimize thermal energy losses.
Targets were set based on best shift energy consumption
from energy monitoring system.
Deployment of nitrogen based cure process to minimize
the process energy requirement.
(ii)
d)
e)
Close monitoring of optimized scheduling in production
equipment to avoid equipment idle time and to reduce
the specific energy through Energy monitoring system.
Parallel implementation of pneumatic based system to
hydraulic based system to reduce the compressor energy.
The following steps were taken by company to increase
utilization/ alternate source of energy.
a)
b)

d)
e)
Usage of clean fuels like CNG for boilers.
Sourcing of more power from renewable energy and
clean fuels with focus on reduction of carbon foot prints.
Installation of solar based outdoor lightings under
consideration.
Evaluation of bio mass based steam generation in place
of coal based steam generation.
Installation of waste water treatment plants to reuse in the
process.
