OBJECTIVE
To study about the Maintenance and Repair of the LPG bullets in Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd (CPCL).
To make recommendations for the recurring problem.
April 19, 20233
BULLET
Bullet is a LPG storage unit used in the oil refinery Industries.
It is look like in the shape of diesel or petrol tankers in the lorries.

Maintenance methodology (Existing)
De commissioning Erection of scaffolding Cleaning inside the bullet for NDT tests Ultrasonic Flaw Detection Testing Ultrasonic thickness measurement Hardness testing Spot Radiography tests Cleaning outside the bullet for NDT tests Nozzle replacement Stress relieving process Hydro testing of bullets Box up the nozzles
April 19, 202311
After studying about the existing maintenance methodology the frequently faced problems were found out.
April 19, 202312
PROBLEMS FACED:
It was observed that shell external, shell nozzles, nozzles flanges were found heavily corroded.
Therefore nozzles and nozzle flanges were replaced with approval from Chief controller of Explosives, Nagpur.
Maintenance cost was increased due to replacement of nozzles.
Downtime is also increased.April 19, 202313
RECOMMENDATION
Insulation to be provided and aluminium sheet to be covered over the insulation (or) to reduce the external corrosion around the bullet every year it should be painted.

Existing maintenance cost
For 40 years (the life time of the plant)
Total maintenance action – 8 timesTotal maintenance cost – 2 croresi.e.8times X 25 lakhs = 2 crores.
April 19, 202318
According to our recommendations
Total cost for insulation material with Aluminium cover plate Rs.100000.
Total cost for water sealing compounds with shed arrangement is Rs.20000.
(including labour cost)
April 19, 202319
LIFE TIME OF THE BULLET AND SAVING COST NOZZLES. By providing the insulation with Aluminium cover
plate we can increase the life from 5 years to 8 years.
The capacity of the plant is 40 years.
i.e. for 8 times X 5 years = 2 crores. (25 lakhs per time)
for 5 times X 8 years = 1.25 crores. (25 lakhs per time)
So that the maintenance cost is reduced up to 75 lakhs
April 19, 202320
For providing Aluminium plate covering with insulation
April 19, 202321
By providing the water sealing compounds with the shed type arrangement we can increase the life time of the nozzle form 5 to 6 years.
The capacity of the plant is 40 years.
i.e. for 8 times X 5 years = 2 crores. (25 lakhs per time)
for 7 times X 8 years = 1.75 crores. (25 lakhs per time)
So that the maintenance cost is reduced up to 25 lakhs (approximately.)
April 19, 202322
For providing water sealing compound
April 19, 202323
ADVANTAGES Maintenance cost is reduced. Life time of the nozzle is increased. Downtime is also decreased. It is one of the method to avoid the major LPG
tank accident
