3. Impact of COVID-19
❖This pandemic has really tipped the balance of Global economy.
❖COVID 19 really taught us more. During the pandemic, we were at the stage we have to run the
plant at lower capacity. In this situation we are very keen on energy consumption.
❖We have a restricted our manpower as per government guidelines.
❖ Our team gave a greater support to run the plant at very efficiently and very productively.
❖We have Increased our productivity by 5%
❖We have Reduced our energy consumption by 5%.
❖We were at the stage, we have to export more than domestic demand. Which has a greater impact
in freight and transportation.

7. Innovative Project Implemented
Project Implemented : Hot condensate using for wash vessel makeup instead of cooled condensate
Description:❖ Earlier cold condensate from Ejector is being used for wash vessel.❖ Hot condensate from common condensate collection drum is being cooled and used for column
injection. ❖ Injecting the cool condensate to wash vessel incur heat loss and also lead to washing inefficiency, hot
condensate from common condensate collection drum can be directly use into wash vessel, at the same cool condensate from ejector directly use for column injection without additional cooling.
❖ By doing this heat load to cooling tower is reduced, the equivalent amount of heat load is being used for washing section pre heater has been reduced, and also cooled condensate injection pump to column has be isolated.
Investment made : Zero Investment
Benefit achieved :❖Annual water saving – 242 KL❖ Annual thermal energy savings – 142.3 Mkcal❖ Total cost savings – 2.02 Lakh
