A morning routine in a Cement Plant

 प्रभाते क्लिंकर दर्शनम। 


मेरे बहुत सारे दोस्त डीपीसी के साथ मेरे लव अफेयर्स को बहुत अच्छी तरह जानते हैं।

डीपीसी ही नहीं, बेल्ट कन्वेयर भी शामिल है उसमें।

मैं मेरे उन एक्सपेरिमेंट्स को फ्लाइंग अवर्स की कैटिगरी में डालता हूं।


लेकिन उन एडवेंचर्स की बातें फिर कभी होगी। 

अभी मैं बात करूंगा की कैसे डीपीसी ने प्लांट ऑपरेशन का मेरा फंडा चेंज कर दिया।


जब मुझे पता चला कि एक नॉन टेक्निकल सुपरवाइजर मेरे चेरमैन को रोज डीपीसी के क्लिंकर का वीडियो चुप चुप कर भेजता है, तो मैं पहले वाले प्लांट हेड की तरह चीड नहीं गया। 


मैंने खुद ही डीपीसी में जाते हुऎ क्लिंकर का वीडियो भेजना शुरू किया। 


और अनजाने में ही एक अलग प्रोसेस शुरू हो गयी। 

एक दो दिन बाद मुझे एहसास हुआ कि जो वीडियो में भेज रहा हूं वह बहुत गंदा सा एरिया है, तो मैंने उसे साफ करवाया।

फिर एक बार में जब वीडियो बना रहा था तब क्लिंकर बहुत खराब आ रहा था, मैं तब रुक गया और जब अच्छा क्लिंकर जा रहा था तब वीडियो बनाकर भेजा। अब मैंने सोचा कि यह तो गलत है भाई। मैंने सीसीआर को बोल दिया की देखो भाई, 8:30 बजे जब मैं मॉर्निंग मीटिंग के बाद डीपीसी पर जाऊंगा तो मुझे अच्छा क्लिंकर चाहिए। 

उन्होंने वह करना शुरू कर दिया। जब प्रेयर के बाद में डीपीसी पे जाता तो मुझे सही क्लिंकर ही मिलता। 


तब मैंने उनको यह सवाल किया कि जब आप उस टाइम पर सही क्लिंकर बना सकते हो तो 24 घंटे अच्छा क्लिंकर भी बना सकते हो न? 


तब उन्होंने जो बताया उसमें मेरे मेरे लिए बहुत सारे सवाल थे। 

और मैं उन सवालों के जवाब ढूंढने लगा।  

इस प्रक्रिया में प्लांट का परफॉर्मेंस सुधरता गया, बढ़ता गया। 

और यह नियम आज भी फॉलो हो रहा है।

Enhancing Coal Feeding Systems for Optimal Kiln Performance

Image
For cement plants that do not have advanced coal dosing systems such as Pfister, Coriolis, or Multicore, traditional coal feeding systems still dominate operations.  These include: Venturi-Based Coal Transfer and Firing System,   V1 – A successful project. FK Pump-Based Coal Transfer and Firing System, F1. FK Pump-Based Direct Coal Firing System, FD1 –  Two successful projects. Challenges in Traditional Coal Feeding Systems In these setups, coal transport starts when the coal firing bin reaches its lower limit and stops when it reaches the higher limit. However, this method introduces several challenges: SFM Draft Variation: Sudden coal transport starts and stops create fluctuations in the SFM (Solid Flow Meter) draft, leading to inconsistent feeding. Bin Pressurization & Flushing: During transport, the coal firing bin gets pressurized, causing erratic coal flushing, which disrupts stable firing. Continuous monitoring and regulating is a headache for operators. ...
