    1983.The company is involved both, in manufacture and exportof cotton and woolen products.NAHAR SPINNING MILLS is a

    subsidiary of Nahar group and was establish in 1983.The

    company is involved both, in manufacture and export of cotton

    and woolen products. Nahar Industrial Enterprises Ltd is a

    vertically-integrated textile manufacturer, with operations

    ranging from spinning, weaving & processing to finished

    readymade garments. NIELs strategic objective is to capitalize

    on the growth opportunities that it believes are availed in thedomestic and global textile industry .at the same time the

    company recognizes the competitive nature of the industry,

    especially with established pressure from Asia, and that to

    maintain growth it must continue to improve production

    process and reduce cost.

    From 1949 when small hosiery factory was incorporated into a

    public limited company, to the present day, constants upwardgrowth has symbolized the charter of a company called oswal

    woolen mills limited.Oswald woolen mills , established in 1949

    surges ahead to establish itself as a reputed industrial

    conglomerate with a wide ranging portfolio from wool combing ,

    spinning, kitting , fabric, hosiery garments etc.From starting out

    with 800spindles today, from simple hosiery items to high value

    added items like designer knitwear (Monte Carlo

    &Canterbury) all these are no mean achievements and what

    made them possible in so short a time is nothing but a miracle

    that combined brilliant market insight with diversification.

    As the company progressively increased spindlier to 2000 in

    the year 1960, it had already established a market for itself inthe areas of hosiery knitwear & textile fabrics like blankets and

    shawls etc.

    Very soon , it becomes the Indian exporter of woolen garments

    to Russia and shortly after in 1972, the company set up its own

    wool combing unit the first of several backward integration

    measures .Soon began the in house processing for the woolen

    division .With increasing capacity 7b demand for its processing

    for the woolen division.With increasing capacity & demand for

    its products, oswal woolen mills limits soon became a name e

    to reckon with, both in the domestic & international markets

    Research & developments also received focused attention &

    international market. Research & developments also received

    focused attention & today the company boats of north Indias

    most sophisticated laboratory, approved by the international

    wool secretariat (iws) & is even authorized to act as a quality

    checking center for other manufacturers.

    For the domestic market the company launched Monte Carlo,

    the first truly international range of designer knitwear followed

    b another prestigious brand Canterbury

    Later on an ultra modern lambs wool & angora spinning plant

    has been set up, of which more than 50% manufacturer is for

    captive consumption .The balance meets the requirements ofother hosiery knitwear exporters in India. This in turn means

    immense saving in foreign exchange for India.

    Introduction

    A steam power plant converts the energy of the fossil fuel (coal,

    oil, gas) into mechanical/electrical energy. This is achieved by

    raising the steam, in the boilers, expanding it through the

    turbines and coupling the turbines to the generators which

    convert mechanical energy to electrical energy as shown in fig.

    Feed water and steam flow circuit

    In the water and steam circuit condensate leaving the condenser is first heated in

    a closed feed water heater through extracted steam from the lowest pressure

    extraction point of the turbine. It then passes through the deaerator and a few

    more water heaters before going into the boiler through economizer.

    In the boiler drum and tubes eater circulates due to the difference between the

    density of water in the lower temperature and the higher temperature section of

    the boiler. Wet steam from the drum is further heated up in the super heater

    before being supplied to the prime mover. After expanding in high pressure

    turbine steam is taken to the reheat boiler and brought to its original dryness or

    superheat before being passed on to the low pressure turbine. From there it is

    exhausted through the condenser into the got well. The condensate is heated on

    the feed heaters using the steam trapped from different points of turbine.A part of steam and water is lost while passing through different components

    and this is compensated by supplying additional feed water. This feed water

    should be purified before hand, to avoid the scaling of the tubes of the boiler.

    Cooling water circuit

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    11/61

    The cooling water supply to the condenser helps in maintaining a low pressure

    in it. The water may be taken from a natural source such as River, Lake or sea

    or the same water may be cooled and circulated over again. In the later case the

    cooling arrangement is made through spray pond or cooling tower.

    WORKING:

    The 12.0 MW cogeneration power plants are located adjacent to the

    proposed Denim plant in the new site, around 1.5 km back side of the

    existing textile mill complex.

    Under the present arrangement, the total power requirement of the textile

    plant complex is being met by the existing 5.0 MW cogeneration plant in

    addition to the available diesel generator set in the factory and from PSEB

    grid, the total process steam requirement of around 25 TPH at 9 atm,

    280C level for the existing textile plant in being met existing one no. of 40

    TPH AFBC boiler and small capacity of fired boilers as stand by boilers,

    after installation of the proposed cogeneration program, the total power for

    the entitle textile mill complex will be met from the proposal one no. new

    12.0 MW extraction cum condensing turbo generator set, one no. existing

    5.0 MW extraction cum condensing turbo generator set and one no. 4.0

    MW existing DG set. The process steam requirement of the existing textile

    units will be met from the existing boilers and the process steam

    requirement of around 12 TPH at 9 atm. Level for the proposed new

    expansion of plant will be met from the proposed new 55 TPH AFBC

    boiler and the new 12.0 MW condensing cum extraction turbine.

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    18/61

    As the new 12.0 MW cogeneration plant is planed adjacent to the proposed

    denim mill plant, the power from the 12.0 MW cogeneration plant will be

    fed to the existing common NIEL substation on the textile complex and

    distributed to NIEL the entire textile mill complex from the substation.

    The management has decided to go in boiler and turbo generator in the

    proposed co- generation plant. The co-generation program envisages a new

    AFBC boiler and a single extraction single bleed cum condensing turbo

    generator. Having considered the present co generation technology level,

    both in India and abroad, the management has decided to adopt 87 atm and

    515C cycles for the cogeneration project at their proposed co-generation

    plant.

    The plant and equipment for the co-generation program will consist of a

    high pressure boiler, extraction cum condensing turbo generator, cooling

    water system, water treatment system, condensate system, compressed air

    system and electrical system consisting of switchgears, LT distribution

    panels, transformer for meeting the in house power requirement, etc.

    The power plant cycle will we provided with a deaerator serving the dual

    purpose of deaerating the feed water as well as heating the feed water with

    the extraction steam drawn through the uncontrolled extraction. The

    deaerator will be operating at 3.0 atm, with a deaerated feed water

    temperature at 115C. The feed water will be further heated to improve the

    cycle efficiency in the HP heater that will be operating with the 9 atm

    extraction steam and the condensate of the heating steam from the feed

    water heater will be taken to the deaerator.

    The power generation in the cogeneration plant will be at 11 KV level. The

    internal consumption requirement will be meeting by steeping down the

    voltage level to 415 Volts.

    Under the present arrangement, the total power requirement of the textile

    plant complex is being meet by the existing 5.0 MW cogeneration plant in

    addition to the available diesel Generator set in the factory and from PSEB

    grid. After the cogeneration program, the entire power requirement for the

    entire textile mill complex will be distributed from the existing common

    substation available in the textile mill complex by operating the new 12

    MW cogeneration turbo generator, existing 5MW cogeneration turbo

    generator and 4 MV D.G set. Only the process steam requirement of

    around 12.5 TPH at 9 atm level for the proposed new denim plant will be

    meet from the 12 MW cogeneration and turbo generator.

    The water requirement of the cogeneration plant is proposed to be meeting

    from the bore wells proposed in the new cogeneration plant site. The

    factory expects that there will not be any difficulty in meeting with the

    water requirement of the cogeneration plant.

    The proposed cogeneration plant will be working for a minimum of 330

    days for a year, with rice husk as the main fuel and other biomass fuels as

    standby fuels. However, provision will be made in the cogeneration plant

    for firing other fuels like Indian coal and Barmer lignite.

    Boiler

    A boiler is a closed vessel in which water or other fluid is heated under

    pressure. The fluid is then circulated out of the boiler for use in various

    processes or heating applications.

    Construction of boilers is mainly limited to copper, steel, stainless steel, and

    cast iron. In live steam toys,brass is often used.

    The source of heat for a boiler is combustion of any of several fuels, such as

    wood, coal, oil, ornatural gas. Electric boilers use resistance orimmersion type

    heating elements. Nuclear fission is also used as a heat source for generating

    steam. Heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs) use the heat rejected from

    other processes such as gas turbines

    Boiler fitting and Mountings

    1. Safety valves

    An important boiler fitting is the safety valve. Its function is to protect the boiler

    shell from over pressure and subsequent explosion.

    Many different types of safety valves are fitted to steam boiler plant, but they

    must all meet the following criteria:

    The total discharge capacity of the safety valve(s) must be at least equal to the

    'from and at 100C' capacity of the boiler. If the 'from and at' evaporation is

    used to size the safety valve, the safety valve capacity will always be higher

    than the actual maximum evaporative boiler capacity.

    2. Boiler stop valves

    A steam boiler must be fitted with a stop valve (also known as a crown valve)

    which isolates the steam boiler and its pressure from the process or plant. It is

    generally an angle pattern globe valve of the screw-down variety. Figure shows

    a typical stop valve of this type.

    Fig.4

    In the past, these valves have often been manufactured from cast iron, with steel

    and bronze being used for higher pressure applications. The stop valve is not

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    26/61

    designed as a throttling valve, and should be fully open or closed. It should

    always be opened slowly to prevent any sudden rise in downstream pressure and

    associated waterhammer, and to help restrict the fall in boiler pressure and any

    possibleassociated_priming.

    3. Feedwater check valves

    The feedwater check valve is installed in the boiler feedwater line between the

    feedpump and boiler. A boiler feed stop valve is fitted at the boiler shell.

    The check valve includes a spring equivalent to the head of water in the

    elevated feedtank when there is no pressure in the boiler. This prevents the

    boiler being flooded by the static head from the boiler feedtank.

    Fig.5

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    27/61

    4. Boiler check valve

    Under normal steaming conditions the check valve operates in a conventional

    manner to stop return flow from the boiler entering the feedline when the

    feedpump is not running. When the feedpump is running, its pressure

    overcomes the spring to feed the boiler as normal. Because a good seal is

    required, and the temperatures involved are relatively low (usually less than

    100C) a check valve with a EPDM (Ethylene Propylene) soft seat is generally

    the best option.

    9. Gauge glasses and fittings

    All steam boilers are fitted with at least one water level indicator, but those with

    a rating of 100 kW or more should be fitted with two indicators. The indicators

    are usually referred to as gauge glasses complying with BS 3463.

    A gauge glass shows the current level of water in the boiler, regardless of the

    boiler's operating conditions. Gauge glasses should be installed so that their

    lowest reading will show the water level at 50 mm above the point where

    overheating will occur. They should also be fitted with a protector around them,

    but this should not hinder visibility of the water level.

    Gauge glasses are prone to damage from a number of sources, such as corrosion

    from the chemicals in boiler water, and erosion during blow down, particularly

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    32/61

    at the steam end. Any sign of corrosion or erosion indicates that a new glass is

    required. When testing the gauge glass steam connection, the water cock should

    be closed. When testing the gauge glass water connections, the steam cock pipe

    should be closed

    10. Air vents and vacuum breakers

    When a boiler is started from cold, the steam space is full of air. This air has no

    heat value, and will adversely affect steam plant performance due to its effect of

    blanketing heat exchange surfaces. The air can also give rise to corrosion in the

    condensate system, if not removed adequately. The air may be purged from the

    steam space using a simple cock; normally this would be left open until a

    pressure of about 0.5 bar is showing on the pressure gauge. An alternative to the

    cock is a balanced pressure air vent which not only relieves the boiler operator

    of the task of manually purging air (and hence ensures that it is actually done), it

    is also much more accurate and will vent gases which may accumulate in the

    boiler. Typical air vents are shown in Figure When a boiler is taken off-line, the

    steam in the steam space condenses and leaves a vacuum. This vacuum causes

    33/61

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    34/61

    reached in the steam space, the vacuum breaker opens to allow condensate to

    drain down to the steam trap.

    Fig.9

    In general, it is not desirable to introduce air into the steam space, since it acts

    as a barrier to heat transfer and reduces the effective steam temperature . This

    becomes a problem on larger heat exchangers, where it is not advisable to use a

    vacuum breaker to overcome stall. Furthermore, if the condensate is lifted after

    the steam trap, for example, into a raised condensate return main, the vacuum

    breaker cannot assist drainage. In both these cases, it is necessary to use an

    active method of condensate removal such as a pump-trap

    Separators

    'Wet' steam is a major concern in a steam system as it can cause process and

    maintenance problems, including lower productivity, erosion and corrosion.

    Deaerator

    Oxygen is the main cause of corrosion in hotwell tanks, feedlines, feedpumps

    and boilers. If carbon dioxide is also present then the pH will be low, the water

    will tend to be acidic, and the rate of corrosion will be increased. Typically the

    corrosion is of the pitting type where, although the metal loss may not be great,

    deep penetration andperforation can occur in a short period.

    38/61

    of steam. This gives a high surface area to mass ratio and allows rapid heat

    transfer from the steam to the water, which quickly attains steam saturation

    temperature. This releases the dissolved gases, which are then carried with the

    excess steam to be vented to atmosphere. (This mixture of gases and steam is at

    a lower than saturation temperature and the vent will operate thermostatically).

    The deaerated water then falls to the storage section of the vessel.

    A blanket of steam is maintained above the stored water to ensure that gases are

    not re-absorbed.

    Water distribution

    The incoming water must be broken down into small drops to maximise the

    water surface area to mass ratio. This is essential to raising the water

    temperature, and releasing the gases during the very short residence period in

    the deaerator dome (or head).

    Breaking the water up into small drops can be achieved using one of themethods employed inside the dome's steam environment.

    Turbine

    Introduction and Summary

    heat is a byproduct of power generation, steam turbines normally generate

    electricity as a byproduct of heat (steam) generation. A steam turbine is captive

    to a separate heat source and does not directly convert fuel to electric energy.

    The energy is transferred from the boiler to the turbine through high pressure

    steam that in turn powers the turbine and generator. This separation of functions

    enables steam turbines to operate with an enormous variety of fuels, from

    natural gas to solid waste, including all types of coal, wood, wood waste, and

    agricultural byproducts (sugar cane bagasse, fruit pits, and rice hulls). In CHP

    applications, steam at lower pressure is extracted from the steam turbine and

    used directly or is converted to other forms of thermal energy. Steam turbines

    offer a wide array of designs and complexity to Steam turbines are one of the

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    43/61

    most versatile and oldest prime mover technologies still in general production.

    Power generation using steam turbines has been in use for about 100 years,

    when they replaced reciprocating steam engines due to their higher efficiencies

    and lower costs. Conventional steam turbine power plants generate most of the

    electricity produced in the United States. The capacity of steam turbines can

    range from 50 kW to several hundred MWs for large utility power plants. Steam

    turbines are widely used for combined heat and power (CHP) applications.

    Unlike gas turbine and reciprocating engine CHP systems where match the

    desired application

    And/or performance specifications. Steam turbines for utility service may have

    several pressure casings and elaborate design features, all designed to maximize

    the efficiency of the power plant.

    For industrial applications, steam turbines are generally of simpler single casing

    design and less complicated for reliability and cost reasons. CHP can be adapted

    to both utility and industrial steam turbine designs.

    Surface condenser

    Surface condenser is the commonly used term for a water cooled shell and tubeheat exchanger installed on the exhaust steam from a steam turbine in thermal

    power stations. These condensers are heat exchangers which convert steam

    from its gaseous to its liquid state at a pressure below atmospheric pressure.

    Where cooling water is in short supply, an air-cooled condenser is often used.

    An air-cooled condenser is however significantly more expensive and cannot

    achieve as low a steam turbine exhaust pressure as a surface condenser.

    Surface condensers are also used in applications and industries other than the

    condensing of steam turbine exhaust in power plants.

    Purpose

    In thermal power plants, the primary purpose of a surface condenser is to

    condense the exhaust steam from a steam turbine to obtain maximum efficiency

    and also to convert the turbine exhaust steam into pure water (referred to as

    steam condensate) so that it may be reused in the steam generatororboileras

    boiler feed water.

    The steam turbine itself is a device to convert the heat in steam to mechanical

    power. The difference between the heat of steam per unit weight at the inlet to

    the turbine and the heat of steam per unit weight at the outlet to the turbine

    represents the heat which is converted to mechanical power. Therefore, the

    more the conversion of heat perpound or kilogram of steam to mechanical

    power in the turbine, the better is its efficiency. By condensing the exhaust

    steam of a turbine at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, the steam pressure

    drop between the inlet and exhaust of the turbine is increased, which increases

    the amount heat available for conversion to mechanical power. Most of the heat

    liberated due to condensation of the exhaust steam is carried away by the

    cooling medium (water or air) used by the surface condenser.

    The adjacent diagram depicts a typical water-cooled surface condenser as used

    in power stations to condense the exhaust steam from a steam turbine driving an

    electrical generator as well in other applications. There are many fabrication

    Cooling tower

    Cooling towers are evaporative coolers used for cooling water or other working

    medium to near the ambient wet-bulb air temperature. Cooling towers use

    evaporation of water to reject heat from processes such as cooling the

    circulating water used in oil refineries, chemical plants, power plants and

    building cooling, for example. The towers vary in size from small roof-top units

    to very large hyperboloid structures that can be up to 200 metres tall and 100

    metres in diameter, or rectangular structures that can be over 40 metres tall and

    Categorization by air-to-water flow

    Crossflow

    Crossflow is a design in which the air flow is directed perpendicular to the

    water flow (see diagram below). Air flow enters one or more vertical faces of

    the cooling tower to meet the fill material. Water flows (perpendicular to the

    air) through the fill by gravity. The air continues through the fill and thus past

    the water flow into an open plenum area. A distribution or hot water basin

    consisting of a deep pan with holes or nozzles in the bottom is utilized in a

    crossflow tower. Gravity distributes the water through the nozzles uniformlyacross the fill material

    Fig.16

    Counterflow

  • 7/27/2019 Nahar Project Report Harry58

    55/61

    In a counterflow design the air flow is directly opposite of the water flow (see

    diagram below). Air flow first enters an open area beneath the fill media and is

    then drawn up vertically. The water is sprayed through pressurized nozzles and

    flows downward through the fill, opposite to the air flow.

    The salt & pepper collector/selector, and repelling balloon experiments serve to

    illustrate the basis of an electrostatic precipitator. In these experiments a type of

    electrostatic collector and electrostatic selector are created. This same principle

    is used to keep the environment clean today. A description of a more elaborate

    demonstration of how an electrostatic precipitator works using a Van de Graff

    generator may be found at

    The flue gas laden with fly ash is sent through pipes having negatively chargedplates which give the particles a negative charge. The particles are then routed

    past positively charged plates, or grounded plates, which attract the now

    negatively-charged ash particles. The particles stick to the positive plates until

    they are collected. The air that leaves the plates is then clean from harmful

    pollutants. Just as the spoon picked the salt and pepper up from the surface they

    were on, the electrostatic precipitator extracts the pollutants out of the air.
