IR ‘Infrared’ thermometer is one of the most useful temperatures measuring instruments and it is used in almost all industries. IR thermometer measures temperature based on the thermal radiation of the object. Thermal radiation is also referred to as black body radiation. The thermometer measures infrared energy emitted by the object and after adjusting it …
Ideally, heat should not be released into the atmosphere and it should be recovered for process use. Many times process is not capable of utilizing heat and heat needs to be rejected to the atmosphere to keep the process operational. As in the case of cooling tower, cooling water temperature cannot be reduced to below …
The efficiency of industries has improved in recent times though automation, may it be a manufacturing or process industry automation has made our life easier, safer, and reliable. Now with the development of information technology like data acquisition, data processing, data analysis technique, it is said that artificial intelligence shall be the new change industries …

Introduction Digitalization, Artificial intelligence or machine leaning are buzzing word across several industries. Power of data has been realized in rcent times with the development in the data collection and analyzing facilities. Now industries are waiting for another change after industrialization period. Smart industry shall be the new norm for industries. Output of the industries …
Introduction : In Boiler, Water is evaporated to convert it into steam. During evaporation salts gets concentrated in the boiler drum. The salts in the boiler drum needs to be removed to operate boiler in safe and efficient condition. Based on the pressure condition of boiler drum or pressure rating of boiler, concentration of salt …
What is Thermocompressor ? Thermocompressor is a type of ejector used to convert low pressure to medium pressure steam with the use of high pressure steam. It mixes both low and high pressure steam to generate intermediate pressure thus making low pressure or flash steam useful for process. High pressure steam is used to create …
Coal fired boilers are major energy consuming equipment’s for process industry and care to be taken to improve performance of coal fired boiler. Boiler performance depends on various operation parameters and external factors. Listing various ways for energy efficient operation of coal fired boiler :- Coal quality : Properties of coal keeps on varying from …

Area of Improvement:Smoke tube boiler of 10TPH, operating at 17.5 barg was used for generating steam for process requirement. The fuel used for boiler operation was Natural gas. Observation:Boiler was in operation with conventional economizer. De-aerator with 105 Deg C of feed water was fed to economizer and flue gas of 250 Deg C enters …
In shell and tube heat exchanger, especially where the cooling media is cooling water, there is higher probability of fouling. Therefore periodic heat exchanger cleaning is required to improve the heat transfer of the heat exchanger. In general heat exchanger’s are cleaned either chemically or mechanically, both type of cleaning requires shutdown of the heat …
Area of Improvement: In a process plant 60% of condensate is recovered at approx 90 Deg C, remaining condensate was contaminated as it is being used in steam ejectors, direct heating in process and multi utility reactor therefore it was not recovered. Observation: 40% of feed water of approx 12 KL/hr was fed to deareator …
