Report on Assessment of Boiler Performance and Steam Utilization

5-6th May 2012
GTU, jointly with GCCI, organized a two days workshop on Assessment of Boiler
Performance and steam utilization, at AMA, on 5-6th May 2012. Inauguration was on 5th May 2012, 9:00 A.M morning at AMA. Prof. M.I.Vyas welcomed. Dr. A.K.Asthana with a bouquet of flowers. At the inauguration ceremony Mr. Rohit Shah from GCCI remained present. Nearly 20 faculties from different colleges of GTU participated. Dr. A.K. Asthana (Seminar Technical specialist), from Bureau of Energy Efficiency, New Delhi, conducted the work shop.
The following topics were covered by Dr. Asthana through lectures, quizzes, and group exercises: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Fundamentals of energy Fuel and combustion technology Assessment and selection of boiler Steam utilization and distribution Insulation
Printed copies and hand out materials was distributed to the participants. A soft copy of the same was given in a pen drive to each student. The participants got an insight in to fuels combustion, boiler operation, steam generation and utilisation. It was a highly interactive programme as it included quizzes and group exercise for all the topics of the course. The approach of Dr. Asthana was so good that each participate understood that each component of boiler and Steam systems. At the valedictory function on 6th of May 2012, Dr Akshai Aggarwal, the Honourable Vice Chancellor, Shri Prakash Bhagwati Vice-President GCCI, Mr. Rohit Shah and Tanmay Mehta remained present. Dr M I Vyas and other participants appreciated the great way in which

Dr Asthana had conducted the workshop and the highly useful and practical ideas, learnt by the participants. The Vice-President GCCI praised the work of GTU and promised full support from GCCI for such activities. Dr Akshai Aggarwal said that he wanted that all our faculty members and students, who are studying Boilers and steam systems in Mechanical Engineering, should learn about the practice of their discipline. He said that he expected that our faculty members and students will be able to visit the SMEs all over Gujarat, measure the efficiency of the steam systems and advise the SMEs about how the efficiency of their systems may be improved. This workshop, for GTU, was a continuation of the earlier workshop of 25-27 March 2012. (Please see the Report on the next page.) That workshop had Resource Persons from Department of Energy, USA and GCCI had come forward to organize it at their auditorium. DOE officers had discussed about a software approach for calculation of the efficiency. Dr Aggarwal wanted our faculty and students to learn the software-based approach and study its validity for the conditions at our SMEs. He said GTU has Bachelors, Masters and doctoral programs in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and it should be possible for us to take the DOE software and improve and update it so that it becomes even more useful to the whole of the world. At the end, he thanked Dr A K Asthana, Prof M I Vyas, the GTU team of officers, who were working at the week-end and all the participants for making the program a success.

Energy Efficiency in Industrial Steam System
GTU, jointly with GCCI, organized a three days workshop on Energy Efficiency in Industrial Steam System from 25th to 27th march 2012 at GCCI Ahmedabad with the help of three experts from Department of Energy, USA. 20 faculty members and students from different colleges affiliated to GTU and 20 participants from various industries participated in this workshop. Dr. Riyaz Papar, Dr. Greg Havell and Thomas Wenning, Department of Energy, US conducted the workshop. The course of workshop was divided into four major categories. 1. Steam System Fundamental 2. Steam generation efficiency 3. Utilization of steam effectively 4. Management of steam distribution The workshop consisted of 2 days of classroom teaching and 1 day of field visit at M/S. Crown Laminates, at Changodara. Topics covered on the first day of classroom training: steam system fundamentals, efficient generation of steam, effective utilisation of resources and minimizing the steam losses by proper distribution of steam. The experts pointed out that by introducing the change in energy management, productivity of the plant can be increased which results into higher profits. They made participant aware about their steam system scooping tool software which is to be used for assessment of steam system of plant. The 2nd day: All the participants visited M/S. Crown Laminates PVT. LTD. at Changodara. They took data for steam system at different points in the entire plant. The 3rd Day: The participants used the data in SSAT to find out the efficiency of the steam system. During the workshop, all the participants practiced with SSAT software on their laptop and understood the concept. Faculty members, who attended the workshop got the hands on experience of tools and appreciated the efforts of GTU and GCCI. GCCI expressed special thanks and gratitude to Hon. V.C. Dr. Akshai Aggarwal for supporting the Workshop and being the partner of this workshop. They appreciated Dr. Aggarwals vision for industry- institute interaction thrugh GTU Innovation Council. Dr. Akshai Aggarwal appreciated the efforts put in by Prof. M.I.Vyas, Shri Rohit Shah and Sh Tanmay Mehta for making this workshop a successful event. He also thanked the DOE team and Shri Arvind Patel, who made the facilities of Crown Laminates available. Hon.VC Dr. Akshai Aggarwal remained present at the inaugural in the morning of Sunday 25th March and the valedictory session in the evening of 27th March 2012.
