This document provides guidance on writing prefaces and forewords. A preface is written by the author to introduce their own book, while a foreword is written by another person, such as someone well-known, to introduce the author or book. For a foreword, the writer should introduce the author/work, discuss their relationship if they know the author personally, or comment on the importance/impact of the work. A preface gives the author a chance to explain why they wrote the book and what readers will learn from it. Effective prefaces typically discuss the book's inspiration, purpose, development process, and acknowledge those who helped bring the book to completion. Both should be concise and free of errors.
1) A compressor takes in air at atmospheric pressure and compresses it, delivering it at a higher pressure to a storage vessel.
2) Reciprocating compressors use pistons driven by a crankshaft to compress air in cylinders. As the piston moves, the air is compressed and discharged from the cylinder.
3) The work required to compress air depends on the pressure and volume changes. Actual work done is greater than theoretical isothermal work due to heat transfer during compression.
This acknowledgement thanks the lecturer for providing guidance and encouragement to complete an assignment on time. It also expresses gratitude to group members for their efforts and cooperation in finishing the project. Finally, it acknowledges friends for their support by filling out questionnaires.

21. REDUCTION PLANT – II DETAILS
Aluminium (Al) is usually produced by decomposing Alumina
(Al2O3) dissolved in a bath of molten Cryolite (Na3AlF6) by means of
an electric current. The molten mass lies in the Crucible Box lined
with Carbon, where the lining acts as cathode. The anode is also made
of carbon and is fed down into the molten mass from above. Metal is
produced by Alumina being dissolved in the molten salt and
decomposed, thus enabling the Al
3+
ions to migrate to the cathode
where they are supplied with electrons and they are reduced to
elementary metal on contact with the cathode. Point Feeder is used for
feeding additives such as Aluminium Oxide or Fluoride to
Aluminium electrolysis cells. The additives are fed to the electrolytic
bath of the cell through a hole in the bath crust, which hole is made by
means of a centre punch.
The process used in Reduction Plant is ‘Hall-Herault Process’. There
are two design principles for Hall-Herault Process. Thus, the
electrolysis cells can be provided with self-baking anodes, then so
called ‘Soderberg Anodes’, which are continuous, or with readily
baked anodes of carbon, so called pre-baked anodes, which have to be
exchanged during the electrolysis process as they are generally
consumed.
The electrolytic bath comprises Aluminium Oxide dissolved in melted
Cryolite with the small amount of additives, basically Aluminium
Fluoride (AlF3) and Calcium Fluoride (CaF2). During the
electrolysis process, the Aluminium Oxide is used as it is decomposed
to Oxygen, which immediately reacts with Carbon of the anode, and
Aluminium, which due to the gravitational force to the bottom of the
cathode. The other additives are to some extent also used, and to
maintain the chemical balance in the electrolytic bath, new additives
have to be supplied to replace the ones being consumed.

• Point Feeder
• Fume Treatment Plants ( D.S.S)
• Crust Breaker
• Crane (Electric Overhead Crane)
• Automatic Alumina Feeding System (AAFS)
• Belt and Conveyor
• General Maintenance
Hindalco Renukoot Unit Is broadly
classified into following main plants:-
• Alumina Plant: The raw material, Bauxite (Al2O3.3H2O) is
converted to Alumina (Al2O3) by ‘Bayer’s Process.’
• Reduction Plant: Alumina is taken as input and is reduced to
Aluminium in Smelter Pots by ‘Hall-Herault’s Process’.
2 Al2O3 + 3C 4Al + 3CO2 (960°C)
(Dissolved) (Solid) (Liquid) (Gas)
Aluminium is deposited at cell bottom. Some Al gets dissolved in
the electrolyte
• Fabrication Plant: The Aluminium produced in the smelter plant
is fabricated into finished goods (like heat sinks, roofing sheets,
checkered sheets etc.) or semi-finished goods (like coils, wire
rods, circles etc.).

23. CRANE
• Crane: It is equipment used for material handling in the industry
and organization.
• Types of Crane: It is basically of three types:-
1. Electric Overhead Travelling (E.O.T) Crane.
2. Mobile Crane (e.g. Fork Lift).
3. Jib Crane.
• In Hindalco Industries, Electric Overhead Travelling (E.O.T)
Crane are widely used.
• E.O.T Crane:
The crane moves on the gantry rails, fixed on top of the gantry
girders. In this type generally three motions are incorporated,
namely Hoist, Cross Traverse and Long travel. At times
according to the customer’s requirement Auxiliary Hoist and
micro motion are also incorporated. The Hoist and Cross travel
machineries are fitted on a common frame called the “Crab or
Trolley” which moves on rails fixed on the Crane Girders.
• Main Parts of the E.O.T Crane:
1. Long Travel (Bridge): This type of crane travel takes place in
horizontal direction for over a long distance.
2. Cross Travel (Trolly): This type of travel takes place on crane to
move load from one end to other on crane itself.
23
24. 3. Hoist Travel (Hoist): This type of travel is used for uplifting and
lowering of load vertically upto a desired height (not more than
12.8 meter).
• According to Bridge Drive:
1. Single Motor Drive Crane.
2. Double Motor Drive Crane.
• Major Parts of E.O.T Crane:
1. Long Travel Drive Mechanism.
2. Trolly Assembly.
3. Bridge Girders.
4. End Carriages.
5. Platforms.
6. Operator’s Cabin.
7. Trolly Power Supply Arrangement.
• Advantages of E.O.T Crane:
1. They eliminate the need for wide passages and do not block any
space at ground level.
2. They cover the entire working area without limiting the layout.
3. Operating costs are very low, since it needs only one operator,
require very little maintenance and consumes a very little electric
power.
24
25. • Brakes in E.O.T Crane:
1. Bridge : Foot Operated Hydraulic Brake.
2. Trolly : NIL.
3. Hoist : D.C Electro Magnetic Brake.
• Safe Working Load (S.W.L) of E.O.T Crane:
Weight: 7.5 Metric Tonne
Height: 12.8 Meter
• Power Supply In Crane:
415 Volt 3 Phase Power Supply
Crane moves on ‘Current Rail Path (C.R.P)’.

Procedure to Start the Crane:
1. Check Crane and craneway for any obstructions.
2. Release all ‘locking device’.
3. Check that parts needing lubrication have required quantity of
lubricants.
4. Ensure that no item is lying loose on the crane and the trolly.
5. Check for neutral position of all ‘control gears’.
27
28. 6. Switch on the ‘Crane protective gear’.
7. Check signals and wiring devices.
8. Check ‘brake and limit switches’ for their proper functioning.
Procedure to Stop the Crane:
1. Run empty hook and the trolly to the specified resting position.
2. Run Crane to the access point.
3. Set the ‘master controllers’ in neutral position.
4. Switch off lights.
5. Press the OFF push button provided in the cabin/pendent.
6. Switch OFF the isolating switches.
7. Actuate locking devices if any.
8. Lock ‘Operator’s cabin’.
Precautions on Use of Crane:
1. Make sure of the operation of safety device before hand.
2. Do not load beyond the ‘safe working load’.
3. Do not use crane beyond it’s designed ‘duty cycle’.
28
29. 4. Do not use Crane in lower notches of master controller for long
period.
5. Do not use creep speed for continuous/long operation. The creep
speed is only for spotting the load.
6. Avoid quick ‘deceleration’.
7. At the end of shift, inspect the crane and prepare for the next
shift.
More details about E.O.T.Crane maintenance:
Wheel Wear
Due to presence of aluminum in the atmosphere the wear on the wheel
tread is rather fast. Whenever there is wear, the worst about it is that
there is unequal wear on specially the two side driving wheels. This
results in unequal diameter on two sides of the crane. If a crane with
unequal diameters diameter runs, it is likely to get tilted. As a distance
covered increases the tilt also would increase but, the crane runs on
wheel collars and this result in undue collar wear. The tilting of crane
is called “Crossing of Crane”.
29
30. Reason For Crossing of Cranes Leading
To Frequent Shoe Out :
1. Unequal wheel wear specially in lines 1,2,3 and 4 where we have
single motor drive. Wherever there is a wear, it is unequal wear
and there is crossing of the crane. We have seen that difference of
more than 1.5 mm causes jamming, shoe out etc. due to crossing
of cranes.
2. Loose driving shaft keys/keyways or excessive play in the geared
couplings will cause jerky start on one side and causes crossing
of the cranes.
3. Excessive dusting in the pot room also causes crossing of the
crane.
4. Damaged bearings of the bridge drive gear box causes crossing of
the cranes.
5. Defective rail or rail joint with unequal gap at to ends may cause
crossing of the cranes .difference in heights of the rail at the joint
may also cause crossing of the cranes.
6. Failure of the rail /crane girder holding to the main roof columns
causing the crane girder to bend horizontally or vertically may
also lead to crossing the cranes.
7. Misalignment of the wheels may also leads to crossing of the
cranes. The problem is most when the wheels are changed for
maintenance purpose.

Some Important information regarding
Crane:
• We change ‘roller wheel’ of Crane with the help of jack.
• The material used in roller wheel is of ‘Mild Steel’.
• ‘Slip Ring Induction Motor’ is used to drive the rope attached
with hook.
32
33. • Every motor of a Crane has a specific designation by which it is
differentiated.
e.g 15 C 300
15 – Horse Power.
C – Pole.
300 – Motor Number.
• In Hindalco industries the motor used is of ‘C Pole’.
• When Motor has some problem then for its repairment it is send
to ‘Electrical Repair Shop (E.R.P) Department’.
• In E.O.T Crane 4 wheels are mounted.
Two wheels are ‘Supporting Wheel’.
Two wheels are ‘Idler Wheel’.
And Power is always given to Idler Wheel.
• Formula to calculate the speed of motor:
Speed (N), rpm = 120 * f/P
Where, f = frequency, (50 Hz)
P = Number of Poles (6)
33
34. Some Important Questions related to
Viva and Interview:
• Why only D.C Electromagnetic Brake is applied on Hoist
Travel, why not A.C?
∗ We all know that Alternating Current (A.C) is in pulsed form
and it has variations, sometime it is positive for short time it is
zero and then negative. This will lead to the up and down motion
of hook even after application of brake which can cause serious
injury and accidents in industry, so this is reason why we use
Direct Current (D.C).
• How does E.O.T Crane moves?
∗ In Crane no any wire is attached then also it moves and this is
possible due to ‘Current Rail Path (C.R.P)’ which have three
phase and is attached with platform and provide it supply of
current on which Crane moves.
• What are Lubricant applied in Wire Rope and Roller Wheel?
∗ ‘Servomess 175’ lubricant is used in Wire Rope.
‘Grease’ is used as lubricant in Roller Wheel.

General Description:
‘KHOSLA – CREPELLE’ air compressors are of double acting
horizontal crosshead type and are built in one, two and three
rows. Each row consists of two opposed cylinders. The
compressor is driven by an ‘Electric Motor/Diesel/Turbine’
through V-Belts or Direct drive.
Each row has two crankpins arranged at 180°. This type of
compressor is balanced because two pistons of each row move in
opposite direction. The primary and secondary component forces
nullify each other and suppress all possibilities of vibration. The
efforts of each opposing crankpin are equal and create an axial
couple without reaction on the bearings.

Single Stage Compressor:
Each cylinder is fitted with ‘suction and delivery valve’. The
suction air filters are mounted on both the cylinders, so that air
can enter at both ends of the piston during the forward and
backward stroke. As the piston is moving in the cylinder, quantity
of air sucked at the front side is compressed to the required
pressure when the piston travels towards the front end cover and
40
41. similarly when the piston moves towards the rear end of the
cylinder.
After compression the air passes to the header (if fitted), through
the delivery valve. The header works as an auxiliary air
receiver, thereby the temperature of air is reduced to some extent
and pulsations are damped. Finally, air passes to air receiver or
delivery pipe line.
Two Stage Compressor:
After compression, the air from the first stage cylinder passes
through delivery valve to the water cooled heat exchanger
provided in between the first and second stage. There it is cooled
very near to the atmospheric temperature and is sucked by the 2nd
stage through the suction valves. In the second stage cylinder the
air is compressed again to the required pressure and then to the
Aftercooler, if provided and finally to the air receiver.
In compressor having more than two stages the air from the
second stage enters the next intercooler and a similar operation as
stated above is repeated till the air reaches to the final stage. It is
passed to the Aftercooler, if provided and finally to the air
receiver.
Centrifugal Air Compressor:
The ‘Centac Compressor’ is designed to provide oil free
compressed air. The atmospheric air being compressed via
suction filters enters the compressor through the machine
mounted inlet control device and flow to the first stage where
impellor imparts velocity to the air. The gas proceeds to the
stationary diffuser section that converts velocity to pressure. The
built in air cooler removes the heat of compression and the air
41
42. then passes through the moisture separator in a low velocity zone
to remove condensate. This process continues in all subsequent
stages.
DESCRIPTION:
The Centac compressor is a centrifugal compressor driven by an
electric motor. The compressor and driver are direct coupled.
The Compressor Contains:
• A main driver that directly drives a bull gear that is common to
all stages.
• Compression stages consisting of an impeller mounted on its own
shaft, enclosed with in a common cast iron casing.
• Rotors consisting of an integral pinion gear driven at its optimum
speed by a common bull gear.
• An intercooler that is mounted after stage of compression.
• A moisture separator and a moisture removal system are fitted
after each cooler to remove condensate.

• Diffusers
• Intercoolers
• Moisture Separators
• Vibration Probes
• Casing
• Compressor Driver
• Lubrication System
1. Diffusers: A diffuser, located between each impeller and cooler,
converts velocity energy to pressure energy.
2. Intercoolers & After coolers: The coolers are donut type, with
water over tubes and oil in shell.
3. Moisture separators: The moisture separator is a SS mesh
screen type construction located at points in the air compressor
where air velocities are relatively low permitting efficient
moisture separation.
44
45. 4. Vibration Probes: A non contacting vibration probe is mounted
on each stage next to the plain bearing to measure vibration of
each rotor assemblies. Each probe is connected to a vibration
transmitter.
5. Casing: The gear case consists of a casing and casing cover
jointed vertically by bolted assembly which is opened for
servicing the bull gear and its bearings.
6. Rotor Assemblies: Each rotor consists of an SS impeller and a
removable thrust collar mounted on a helical geared pinion shaft
each secured to the shaft by polygon splines, eliminating the need
of keyways.
7. Bearings: Each rotor assembly is equipped with a thrust bearing
near impeller and a plain journal bearing, Babbitt lined, near bull
gears for radial loads.
8. Seals: A single cartridge seal is mounted in the plain bearing
house behind each impeller. Each cartridge consists of three, one
piece, fully floating non contact carbon rings. One ring is used as
an air seal and the remaining two as oil seals. Buffer air is
supplied to the oil a seal assuring that lube oil is not drawn past
the seals, thus ensuring oil free air.
Compressor Efficiency:
∗ Factors effecting the Compressors efficiency:
• Leaky Valve
• Too large piston ring gaps
• More clearance between cylinder and piston
• Leakage at piston rod
• Inadequate inter stage cooling ( inter cooler plugged)
• High Inlet air temp.
• Low water pressure
• High inlet water temp.
• Speed is less ( Prime mover)
45
46. • Chocking of Suction filter
• After cooler ineffective
• Moisture separator is not working properly ( moisture in air)
Air Conservation/Efficient Air System:
• Inter cooler & after cooler must be perfect and to be cleaned
periodically.
• Threaded connections are to be avoided in air system.
• Tapping in air lines, receiver outlet should be from top to avoid
water moisture carry over.
• Auto drains are to provide for drain.
• Globe valves should never be used in air system as pressure drop
is very high. In 1” ø gate valve pressure drop is 1.14 ft of used
pipe where as in 1” ø globe valve is 30 ft of used pipe.
• Hydraulic testing of Receiver should be done on every year at 1.5
times the safety valve setting.
• Flow meters are to provide in air lines to control the air
consumption.
• The co lour coding of air lines are essential.
• Cleaning operation should be done with 30-40 psi air pressure
only to save air consumption. Pressure regulations are to be
provided.
• 1/2” ø pipe releases 308 cfm at 70 psi
• 1/2” ø pipe releases 200cfm at 40 psi
• Efficiency, flow measurement of compressors.
Ratio of Compression: The rates of initial volume
to the final volume.
∗ Cylinder Ratio: r = P3 / P
Where r = Ratio of Compression

P = Atmospheric pressure in psi
∗ Inter Cooler Pressure: P1 = P X P3 / P – P
∗ Pressure Drop in Line: LV2
R x d5.3
x 35000
L = Length of Pipe in ft, V = Volume of free Air in CFM
R = Ratio of Compression, d = I D Of Pipe in ft
∗ Piston speed: 2 x Stroke length x rpm ; 12 Ft/min
∗ Displacement: It is the volume swept through by the piston with
proper deduction for the piston rod, Unit -CFM.
• Normal velocity in compressed air piping = 20 ft/ sec Max.
∗ Effect of Comparative pressure on Power Cost - Cost of air
generation is 7 % less at less at 6 kg / cm2
than at 7 kg / cm2
.
∗ Unloading Power of compressors in comparison to full load:
Unloading Power consumption should be 15 % to 18 % of full
load.
• Cost of air generation in Alumina Plant Rs. 5. 20 approx.
(Calculated.)
• Intake air temp. Decreases 3 degree C & due to this increase in
volume delivered by 1 %.
47
48. Procedure to Start the Compressor:
1. Check that cooling water valve is opened.
2. Check for cooling water inlet pressure to be in between 2.5
kg/cm2
to 5.0 kg/cm2
.
3. Check for the difference in between inlet and outlet cooling
pressure and that should lie in between 0.8 kg/cm2
to 1.0 kg/cm2
.
4. ‘Sealed air pressure’ should be approx 0.5 kg/ cm2
.
‘Instrument pressure’ should be in between 4.25 to 8.5 kg/cm2
.
5. Check level of oil in oil receiver and ‘Motor Bearing Indicator’.
6. Start pressure lubrication pump with the help of ‘control button’
and maintain oil pressure near about 2.0 kg/cm2
.
7. Oil temperature should be in between 35°C to 50°C.
48
49. 8. Ensure that inlet valve is closed and ‘bypass valve’ is in open
stage and drain moisture with the help of ‘Moisture Drain
Valve’.
9. With the help of ‘Start Push Button’ start the compressor in
unload direction and ensure that oil pressure and temperature is
correct.
10. In every stage check ‘bypass’ situation and with the help of
‘load push button’ bring compressor in load condition.
11. At every cooler note the temperature of water and ensure
that in between inlet and outlet, temperature difference should not
be greater than 8.0°C.
12. Check the flow of ‘discharge air’ from the compressor.
Procedure to Stop the Compressor:
1. With the help of ‘unload push button’, unload the compressor.
2. With the help of ‘stop push button’, stop the compressor and
hold it in the same condition for 20 to 30 minute.
3. With the help of ‘control button’ stop control supply and with
inlet-outlet valve, stop the supply of water.
Some important questions related with
Viva and Interview:
49
50. • What will happen if air is not cooled in intercooler and is
directly ejected in ‘High Pressure (H.P) Cylinder’?
∗ Air (atmospheric) is at pressure of 1.0168 bar and it in ‘Low
Pressure (L.P) Cylinder’ is converted into 1.5 bar. Due to
increase in pressure the gas become hot and its temperature also
get increased, and we know the property of hot gas that it
expands and cover a large volume. When this hot air is directly
ejected into the H.P Cylinder the piston and piston rod will
become hot and more lubrication will be required and tendency of
compressor to produce ‘plant air’ will be decreased and hence
the efficiency of compressor will also decrease.
• If the pressure in H.P Cylinder will not lie in Safe Working
Level (5 kg/cm2
to 7 kg/cm2
) i.e. it will increase or decrease
then what will happen
∗ If this condition arises the ‘mechanical governor’ is fitted which
will do loading and unloading of compressor. If the pressure is
below 5 kg/cm2
then ‘unloading’ of compressor will take place
and if pressure is more than 7 kg/cm2
then ‘loading’ of
compressor will take place.
BATH CRUSHING

51. • In ‘Bath - Crushing’ the medium block of ‘Cryolite (Na3AlF6)’
is crushed in powdered form (generally below 19 mm diameter)
and is mixed with ‘Alumina powder’ and is sent to Potroom for
extraction of Aluminium metal.
• Cryolite is used to produce and maintain heat in pot.
• ‘50 HP Induction Motor’ is used to break the ‘Bath’ by rotating
‘Rotary Breaker’.
9 * 15 Rotary Breaker:
The Model Number 9 * 15 Rotary Breaker is derived as
follows:
9 – 9 feet diameter (2745 mm) at the screen plates
15 – 15 feet internal length (4575 mm)
This 9 * 15 Rotary Breaker consist of a ‘Barrel’ supported on
‘Trunnion Rollers’. The Barrel is lined with perforated ‘screen
plates’ and is driven by a ‘Chain Drive Arrangement’.
The principle function of Rotary Breaker is as follows:
a) Break and separate the material through lifting and impacting
inside the Rotary Breaker, the impact reducing the material size
to allow to sized material to filter through screen plates.
b) The material not able to be broken, drown to pass through the
screen plates, unprocessed material is discharged through ‘refuse
chute’ and disposed, this operation requires the Barrel to be
rotated in the reverse direction.

• Introduction:
The 9 * 15 Rotary Breaker is to be stored at site prior to erection
and during this time it is to be protected from corrosion and
generally dust and dirt.
The manufacturers recommend the following storage regime for
storage period of upto six months.
55
56. • Corrosion Protection:
The 9 * 15 Rotary Breaker machined surfaces are to be wire
brushed clean of surface rust as spray sealed to prevent further
corrosion.
The recommended sealent is ‘CRS Soft Steel’. It is petroleum
based long term indoor/outdoor corrosion inhibitor that seals out
moisture and corrosive contaminants by forming a dry,
transparent, amber film which is highly resistant to humidity, salt
water and salt spray. The spray which once sets provides a solid
film base. The film can easily be removed with petroleum based
product.
• Storage:
After application of corrosion protection the 9 * 15 Rotary
Breaker is to be stored in a clean dry facility and adequately
protected from water (rain, dew, heavy mist etc.) and dust and
air born dirt. The storage is to be preferably indoors, however
under canvas or an equivalent waterproof cover on a hard stand
free of ‘sweating’ is acceptable.

60. FLUORIDE ADSORPTION:
∗ The fresh alumina injected into the reactors serves as an
adsorbent for the fluorides and it also helps in creation of a dust
layer on the filter bags in order to collect particles even smaller
than the fabric mesh itself.
Factor affecting the pressure drop:
1. Gas flow per unit of time and filter area.
2. Dust, alumina load and its composition.
3. Pulse cleaning frequency.
4. Valve operating time.
5. Cleaning energy (pulse pressure).
6. Gas temperature
7. Gas humidity

63. DRY SCRUBING SYSTEM
∗ The Dry scrubbing system treats exhaust gas from Pots. This
treatment of gases is based on adsorption of gaseous fluoride by
means of injected alumina, which is followed by bag filter where
enriched alumina is collected and being sent to pots for alumina
feeding. This plant can also be named as Fume Treatment Plant.
∗ F.T.P. serves the two functions, first it reduces the emission of
the HF gas and the dust particulate into the atmosphere, and
secondly it recovers aluminum fluoride, which is an important
input to the pots. This reduces the consumption of ALF3, which
we purchase from outside party.
NEED FOR D.S.S/F.T.P
∗ During the electrolysis process for producing aluminum, the
alumina (Al2O3) liberates oxygen and the metal Aluminum is
produced. The electrolysis process takes place in an electrolytic
bath consisting of Aluminum fluoride and some other chemicals.
During this process hazardous gases are emitted (mainly
consisting of Hydrogen fluoride and other fluorides).To prevents
these gases to escape into the atmosphere, it is mandatory to
install F.T.P. Since fumes are treated by adsorption of fluorides
gases into dry alumina, hence the system is called Dry Scrubbing
System. The F.T.P. treats exhaust gas from Aluminum reduction
cells by dry scrubbing process, followed by bag filter to collect
fluorinated (enriched) alumina. F.T.P. reduces the emission of the
HF gas and the dust particulate into the atmosphere.
63
64. PROCESS DESCRIPTION
∗ The process description of the F.T.P. is divided into four main
sections:
1. Gas Ducting and Fan System
2. Bag Filter System
3. Alumina Handling System
4. Instrumentation and Electrical system
∗ Alumina consumed in the pots is transported from the belt
conveyors to the primary silo, through the F.T.P. During This
process the primary alumina is mixed with the pot gas in the
reactor and forms the enriched alumina. This enriched
(secondary) alumina in turn transported to the reduction pots
where aluminum metal is produced. Other particulates are
collected on the filter bags.
64
65. GAS DUCTING AND FAN SYSTEM:
∗ The main ductwork is designed in such a way that it gives nearly
same velocity throughout the system. Each individual pot has the
branch duct having a manually adjustable damper. These dampers
are set in a fixed position after balancing, so that an even suction
is obtained from each pot.
∗ For the suction of the gas there are three main exhaust fans
(Centrifugal type) in each line. Each fan has inlet and outlet
damper. There are 6-filter unit in each FTP and each filter unit
comprises a reactor and a filter compartment.
Each filter unit can be isolated for maint jobs by the inlet duct damper
and outlet duct damper.

66. CLEANING OF THE FILTER BAGS
∗ The cleaning of the bags is accomplished by a pulse jet technique,
where a medium pressure pulse of air is introduced into the open
top of each filter bag through nozzle arranged on a nozzle header.
The pulse air enters the nozzle header through solenoid
diaphragm valve installed on pulse tanks. There are 30 rows in
each bag house and each row comprises of 18 bags. The injection
of pulse air results in a rapid expansion of the bags. Alumina and
dust having accumulated on the outside of the bags is dislodged
and collected in the hopper.
∗ One row in all the filter units is cleaned simultaneously. The next
row in line is cleaned after a set time interval has elapsed.
∗ The permeability of a new bag is very high, resulting in a low-
pressure drop. Fumes and alumina in the gas flow will increase
the pressure drop through the bags.
BAG CLEANING PARAMETER:
∗ The bag cleaning process is controlled by the PLC installed in
control room. All filters are cleaned on-line. This on-line pulsing
indicates that one row of bags in each filter unit is cleaned
simultaneously. The gas flow, dust load and gas temperature are
normally given parameters .The pulse cleaning interval, valve
opening time and pulse air pressure for the bags can be varied
within limits for optimal operation of FTP.
∗ The pressure drop affects the power consumption of the fans
whereas bag-cleaning parameters may affect the life of the bags.

68. ALUMINA HANDLING SYSTEM:
• Alumina transport to primary silo:
∗ The primary alumina is being feed to each FTP from the existing
conveyors through a diverter valve leading the alumina into air
slides (2 airsides / one standby) for filling of the primary alumina
silo (Cap – 350 tons).
An emergency airlift is also provided for filling the primary silo.
PRIMARY ALUMINA HANDLING:
68
69. ∗ The primary alumina silo (350 Ton) is equipped with two
manually operated discharge valve, one (Bypass) leading directly
to the distribution box , the other feeding air slide to a feed box
with loss- of –weight control system.
∗ Two blowers are being used to supply fluidizing air to the
primary alumina silo and for the feed & distribution system.
From the feed box, the primary alumina is being feed into the
reactors through distribution air slide where it gets reacts with the
pot gases.
ALUMINA INJECTION & RECIRCULATION:
∗ Adsorption of fluorides takes place after the primary alumina has
been injected into the raw gas in the reactor. For more enrichment
alumina is recirculated from the screw conveyor to the same
injection point where the primary alumina has injected.
∗ By varying the speed of the screw conveyor we can control the
rate of recirculation. All screw conveyors (6 Nos) rotate with the
same speed and is being controlled by frequency converter.
