ARL Initiatives
Management Systems
ARL obtained certification of ISO-9001, ISO-14001, ISO-17025 and OHSAS-18000. Development and implementation of such system ensure adherence to optimum operational parameters which in turn results in optimum energy consumption.
Management Systems
Simulation and Softwares
Sophisticated Process Control system was installed at HCU, Reformer, HBU-I and HBU-II using the DCS technology. It provides mass and energy balance which ensures precise operation and better energy efficiency.
PIMS (Process Industry Modeling System) was implemented which plans and advises the optimum blend of crude for optimum production and energy consumption using Linear Programming for complex systems.

Employees Awareness
Steam Traps Monitoring
There were certain points on steam lines, where steam traps were not available. This resulted in a substantial loss of steam round the clock. Such drain points were identified and steam traps were installed.
A steam survey is carried out per month to identify areas of improvement and to identify and timely attend the faulty steam traps.
Steam saving from one steam trap = 0.5 Ton/day Total energy saving per trap = 39 MM
Btu/month After rectification and proper sizing of one steam trap net
saving is Rs 5,000 per month.

Why Save Steam Condensate ?
Condensate Wasted = Money & Energy Wasted
1. Fuel/Energy costs associated with the amount of steam used to preheat cold boiler make-up water.
2. Boiler water make up and sewage treatment cost.
3. Water chemical treatment cost.
Minimizing Losses
21
Condensate Recovery & Steam Cost
200 psig steam pressure:Sensible heat 362 Btu/lb Wasted water 362 Btu/lb Latent heat 838 Btu/lb Replacement water 38 Btu/lb
Total heat 1200 Btu/lb Wasted heat 324 Btu/lb
Wasted heat / Total heat x 100 = % of Total heat wasted324 / 1200 = 27% of Total heat is wasted
Fuel energy cost is typically 80% of the cost of producing steam,
Therefore;0.27 x .8 x 100 = 21.6% of the total steam production cost.
Minimizing Losses
22
Water & Treatment Value of Condensate
1. Water alone may represent up to 16% of steam production costs.
2. Water treatment costs can amount to 4% of steam production costs.
3. The addition of cooling water to the condensate may be required, greatly increasing water and sewage costs.
Minimizing Losses
23
What is Total Cost Involved When Condensate is Wasted?
Using our earlier example, the total waste is a large percentage of the total steam production cost:
Wasted heat 21.6%Wasted water 16.0%Treatment 4.0%
Total waste 41.6%
Minimizing Losses
Insulation of Bare Surfaces
Atmospheric and Vacuum towers Insulation at Lummus plant
Insulation at products storage tanks Insulation at bare surface lines Insulation at Heat Exchangers
By installing thermal insulation at required points, heat losses reduced, utilities and money saved.
Minimizing Losses
Optimization of Steam Consumption
Fuel gas tracer steam optimization during summer was carried out.
The steam consumption is 7.0 tons/day that is not required during summer season. The saving per day in the form of energy is 555.0 Million Btu/Month and Rs. 70,000 per Month.
Minimizing Losses
Parallel Preheat Train
New parallel preheat train installed at HBU-I, better heat recovery is obtained at higher throughputs by keeping both the pre-heat trains in parallel service.
With this modification, one pre-heat train can be bypassed and cleaned by operating the plant only on single pre-heat train. Hence cleaner exchanger at all times ensure maximum heat recovery thus reducing fuel consumption at heater.
Plant downtime required for pre-heat train cleaning was therefore completely eliminated.
Improving Equipment Efficiency
Replacement of Exchangers
Lummus, atmospheric tower overhead exchanger LE-01 was replaced with a higher duty exchanger.
This resulted in a higher heater inlet temperature, thus reducing the fuel consumption substantially at the atmospheric heater.
Reduction of heater duty by 1 MMBTU/hr due to increase in heater inlet by 40 o F (~ Rs. 4.04 Million per annum, only fuel saving)
Improving Equipment Efficiency
Variable Seed Motors
It was principally decided to purchase variable speed motor drivers for all fan condensers. This has been implemented and newly purchased motors at HBU-II are variable speed. The speed of fan is adjusted according to the temperature requirement, and thus energy is saved.

Improving Equipment Efficiency
Heaters Operation Optimization
Following has been implemented for energy efficiency:
1. Soot Blowers have been installed at heaters to avoid soot deposition. This results in improving the furnace efficiencies: greater fuel energy savings.
2. On-line oxygen analyzers on furnaces / boilers have been provided to control excess air. These instruments measure the oxygen content of flue gas continuously and adjust air to minimize heat losses.
3. Mass flow meters have been installed in various furnaces / heaters for monitoring individual furnace fuel consumption.
Improving Equipment Efficiency
Domestic Fuel Gas Savings
The exhaust of installed gas water heaters (geysers) was modified by installing baffles to increase the residence time of flue gases, thus ensuring maximum heat exchange. This has been experimentally applied on some installations, and will be installed in all the water heaters later. Gas consumed by Ordinary Geyser = 0.20 Hm3
Gas consumed by Geyser (with baffle) = 0.17 Hm3
Difference = 0.03 Hm3
% age saving in Hm3 ~ 15 % Saving For 3 Days ~ Rs. 45 Saving For 1 Month ~ Rs. 450 (For one unit)
Improving Equipment Efficiency
Electrical Energy Savings
All the gate-lights (incandescent bulbs) of colony were replaced by Energy Savers (compact fluorescent light bulbs). This reduced the electricity consumption at gates up to ~ 80%.
Electricity Cost (incandescent bulbs) = Rs. 42,120/month
Electricity Cost with CFL = Rs. 7,581/month
Saving = Rs. 34,540/month
Improving Equipment Efficiency
Anti Solar Roofs
Anti Solar roofs were installed on a few roofs for trial purpose. The results showed marked reduction in energy consumption. The details are given below:
COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Daily heat gain without anti solar system = 81 kWh/day
Daily heat gain with anti solar system = 36 kWh/day
Difference = 45 kWh/day
Electrical energy required to remove this heat = 22.5 kWh
Total saving for summer season = Rs. 9, 450
(@ Rs. 3.5/kwh and assuming 4 months of cooling season)
Improving Equipment Efficiency
New Heater Installation
A new heater was installed at HBU-II (Crude Unit). The purpose was to operate at higher throughput. This ultimately resulted in better heat recovery through products elevated flow rates. Hence heater inlet temperature improved, and fuel requirement decreased, saving energy.
Operational Philosophy
Diversion of Vacuum Unit Cuts
Lummus, a modification was done to divert Vacuum unit's Cut I, II, III & IV to the inlet of atmospheric section pre-heat train’s exchanger LE-08 (Crude/HSD). This resulted in higher heater inlet temperature and hence lower fuel consumption
Reduction of heater duty by 0.5 MMBTU/hr due to increase in heater inlet by 20o F (~ Rs. 2 million per annum, only fuel saving)
