This document provides information about valves used at IFFCO (Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperation Ltd). It contains the following key points: 1. IFFCO commissioned fertilizer plants in 1975 and has since expanded its operations, with a vision to help farmers increase crop yields. 2. The document discusses different types of valves used at IFFCO's plants including gate valves, globe valves, plug valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, and pressure relief valves. 3. Pictures and descriptions of each valve type are provided, such as rising stem vs non-rising stem gate valves, tee pattern vs angle pattern globe valves, and flanged end ball valves.

Acknowledgement
I take this opportunity to place on my grateful thanks and sincere gratitude to the organization
INDIAN FARMERS FERTILIZERS COOPERATIVE LTD. (IFFCO) for providing me a
wonderful chance of working in a prestigious company.
Any attempt at any level can never be satisfactorily completed without expert guidance. I would
like to thank Mr. D Kalia for giving me a lot of their precious time and inputs to make this
project. His deep knowledge and understanding of the topic is an inspiration to one and all. My
study could not have been completed if I had not been able to get all the valuable data and
reference materials from the company.
I am also thankful to other members of the Mechanical Department for making available all the
resources required for the completion of this project report.

IFFCO – The Organization
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967 as
a Multi-unit Co-operative Society. It was a unique venture in which the farmers of the
country through their own Co-operative Societies created this new institution to safeguard
their interests. The numbers of co-operative societies associated with IFFCO have risen from 57
in 1967 to 38, 155 at present.On the enactment of the Multistate Cooperative Societies act 1984
& 2002, the Society is deemed to be registered as a Multistate Cooperative Society. The byelaws
of the Society provide a broad frame work for the activities of IFFCO as a Cooperative Society.
IFFCO commissioned an Ammonia - urea complex at Kaloland the NPK/DAP plant at Kandla
both in the state of Gujarat in 1975. Another Ammonia- urea complex was set up at Phulpur in
the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981. The ammonia- urea unit at Aonla was commissioned in 1988.
In 1993, IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programme of all the four plants under overall
aegis of IFFCO VISION 2000. The expansion projects at Aonla, Kalol, Phulpur and Kandla have
been completed on schedule. Thus all the projects conceived as part of Vision 2000 have been
realised without time or cost overruns. All the production units of IFFCO have established a
reputation for excellence and quality.
A new growth path has been chalked out to realise newer dreams and greater heights through
Vision 2010 which is presently under implementation. As part of the new vision, IFFCO has
acquired fertiliser unit at Paradeep in Orissa in September 2005. As a result of these expansion
projects and acquisition, IFFCO's annual capacity has been increased to 3.69 million tonnes of
Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 1.71 million tonnes of P2O5.

Vision
To augment the incremental incomes of farmers by helping them to increase their crop
productivity through balanced use of energy efficient fertilizers, maintain the environmental
health and to make cooperative societies economically & democratically strong for
professionalized services to the farming community to ensure an empowered rural India.
