GMR Warora Energy monitors boiler performance using online and offline tools to identify losses and improve efficiency. Key performance indicators like dry flue gas loss and unburnt carbon are tracked. Corrective actions include optimizing excess air, mill performance, air preheater cleaning, and chemical treatment. This approach helps reduce fuel costs and improve availability. Monitoring tools help detect issues and 1% increased efficiency saves $82 million annually for a 600 MW plant.

Quality defects in TMT Bars, Possible causes and Potential Solutions.PrashantGoswami42
Maintaining high-quality standards in the production of TMT bars is crucial for ensuring structural integrity in construction. Addressing common defects through careful monitoring, standardized processes, and advanced technology can significantly improve the quality of TMT bars. Continuous training and adherence to quality control measures will also play a pivotal role in minimizing these defects.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

6. At GMR boiler efficiency is monitored
1) Online
2) Offline
Online Monitoring:
At GMR Units are equipped with DDC
system for monitoring and control of
process.
The system has in-built software for plant
performance monitoring, which also
calculates boiler efficiency.
By providing various coal parameters,
boiler efficiency is calculated which helps
the operator for monitoring.
So operator can take action immediately
whenever there is deviation in efficiency.

Measures & Monitoring
8. Offline Monitoring:
At GMR software package is developed in
house.
This package calculates boiler efficiency as
per BS –2885.
In this package after computing the various
process parameters and Ultimate analysis of
coal, Boiler efficiency and various losses are
calculated.
This package also compares losses against
design losses.
The package is made available to operators
who can monitor and control parameter
affecting boiler efficiency.
The front end of the model is shown below.

Measures & Monitoring
10. Shift Basis:
In the every shift desk engineers are calculating boiler efficiency with the help of package
and comparing it with online efficiency.
Daily basis:
With the help of above model on daily basis various prominent losses like dry flue gas loss,
un-burnt carbon loss, wet flue gas loss, are calculated and compared with design losses.
Various control charts used for monitoring are as shown in figures.

Measures & Monitoring
12. 12
From above monitoring various reasons for deviations in boiler efficiency can be easily identified. Various
factors affecting the boiler performance are described below.
12
Dry flue gas loss:
Dry flue gas losses depend upon Exit flue gas temperature & Excess air
Following actions are being taken to minimize this loss-
Tight excess air regime control.
Water washing of air pre heater during every opportunity shutdown.
Replacement/Rectification of air pre-heater basket / seals during Overhaul of unit.
Attending various leakages in flue gas duct & wind box.
Maintaining Mill performance and condition of grinding media.
Regular inspection and rectification of dampers.
Un-burnt Carbon Loss:
This Loss depends upon the Mill Performance & Combustion control.
Following actions are taken to control this loss-
Monitoring of un-burnt carbon in Bottom ash and Fly ash.
Monitoring of mill fineness.
Regular checking and rectification of Secondary Air Damper Controls (SADC).
Various Operation and Maintenance strategies for optimization of mill performance like ball charging,
classifier cleaning etc.
Proper Monitoring of classifier Speed w.r.t coal fineness.
Loss due to Moisture in fuel:
This loss mainly depends upon the coal quality. This can be reduced to a manageable level by adopting a
suitable blending ratio.
Control’s
13. Combustion Performance:
• Good combustion performance plays a vital role in improving the boiler efficiency.
• Mainly the excess air regime and reliable instrumentation (Oxygen and CO measurement)
helps to maintain the boiler efficiency at optimum level.
Mill Performance:
• Mill Performance again depends on various factors such as roller wear, Air flow ratio, Liner
Condition inside the mill, etc. These factors will again tend to affect boiler efficiency
Air pre-heater Performance:
• Air pre-heater performance in term heat transfer affects exit flue gas temp. High exit flue
gas temp will result in higher dry flue gas loss.
• Excessive leakages in APH seals will also result in higher losses.
• Further to monitor air-preheater performance. Another model is developed in house which
calculates the air ingress across the air preheater seals.
Cleanliness Performance:
• Heat transfer within the boiler mainly depends on the cleanliness of the boiler from fireside
as well as from internal. So good condition of soot blowing equipment's and their regular
usage as well as good boiler water chemical parameters ensure the surface cleanliness.
13
Control’s
14. All these regular monitoring and control actions help to maintain losses at
acceptable level. But to find permanent solution for recurring problems suitable
corrective and preventive actions are initiated.
Some of the CA / PA solution require system modification.
A few of in-house modifications carried out at GMR as follows:
1.Shifting the location of flue gas “CO” monitor.
2.Provision of additional “O2” probe in flue gas duct.
3.Use of metallic expansion joints.
4.Modifications of purge air system at coal mills.
5.Modification of orifice in PC piping.
14
Corrective And Preventive Actions (CA/ PA)
15. The Boiler Performance Monitoring provided our plant O & M personnel a tool to
detect potential problems in efficient boiler operation.
Suitable monitoring system helped identifying deviations in real time process.
Thus by monitoring & control it enhanced the boiler performance and as a benefit
it tremendously helped in cost saving of fuel, O&M cost & Plant Availability Factor
(PAF).
1 % improvement in boiler efficiency leads to annual saving in fuel cost up to @ 82
million Rupees for power station of 600 MW capacity.
