MRP 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) c) 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. (iii) Capital Investment on Energy conservation projects: Investments have been carried out for energy conservation proposals resulting in long term saving impact and reduction of losses in the system. Key projects initiated are listed below. a) b) c) d) e) f) Participation of process owners in data analysis from energy monitoring system to improve energy performance. c) g) Utilization of process waste heat to improve steam generation efficiency. d) Reduction of process steam requirement by modifying the reduced process pipe lines. The following measures were implemented to reduce specific power consumption. a) Extension of nitrogen system to reduce the energy consumption. b) Reduction of process steam and power consumption by process changes. PLC based control system for evacuating hot air from the process. Conversion of pneumatic based system to hydraulic based system to reduce the compressor energy. Key On-going proposals are as listed below a) Recycling of municipal waste water, effluent treatment plant (ETP) and sewage treatment plant (STP) to reuse in process. a) b) c) Introduction of energy efficient air compressors for base load operation to optimize power requirements. Air leak study, continuous monitoring and correction of air leaks in plants to reduce the compressor energy. Replacement of old motors with new energy efficient b) Blending of bio fuel in coal based steam generation system. c) motors. Identifying lower specific energy consuming machines and utilizing to maximum level to reduce total energy consumption. 19
