5S activities on third block com-menced on 26th May 2014 and con-

cluded on 15th August 2014. Each week, eleven Small Group Teams (SGTs) spent

two hours on organizing and cleaning activities. Areas covered in the third block include: M1-1603 (+TO+ 643), DH column (+F1-605 + E1-608), CG drier (+F1-150+HPCCU), ETP-3, instrument air compressor (+ DW Tank), raw water tank

(+Dosing + fire water), ETP-2 (Neut/feed tanks+ mechanical chillers), the vent scrubber (+F1-1601), the workshop, the

cylinder room and the equipment/sample store.

5S implementation was beneficial for team members as

well as the company. SGTs participated in field activities with great enthusi-asm and team spirit, sustaining activities done in each block.The idea of an or-ganized, comfort-able and efficient workplace moti-vated employees to make changes. The changes included better floor space utilization as many unnecessary things were repurposed or removed from the area.

after the successful completion of Total Production Environ-

ment (TPM) model activity for se-niors, the TPM department took the initiative to start a TPM model activity for Senior Shift Managers (SSMs), Engineering and technical staff on the same pattern as TPM model activity for seniors. By in-volved them in the TPM activities so that they can understand and guide their Small Group Team (SGT) members for effective TPM implemen-tation. TPM model activities are based on three steps of autonomous mainte-nance, which are: identification of prob-lem by intensive cleaning, root cause

analysis and standardization of clean-ing/lubrication procedures.

Two teams have been formed, SGT-PURE and SGT-UTY comprising of 9 members each. A detailed training ses-

sion was conducted on 4th Sep-tember 2014 with both the teams in order to guide Small Group Team about performing TPM model ac-tivities. SGT-PURE started TPM model activity on G1-1209 D on 17th September 2014. SGT-UTY started TPM model activity on G1-2317 C on 19th September 2014. It is expected that after completion of TPM model activities on G1-1209 D and G1-2317 C most of their

chronic issues will be addressed. TPM model activities for SSMs, Engineering and Technical staff are scheduled to be completed by end of December 2014.

maintenance Engineering often demands innovative and original solutions to complex problems. During

the short shutdown in September, replacement activity of G1-403 (Third Crystallizer Agitator) Gearbox was scheduled. In the past, whenever such a gearbox was removed and the drive shaft of these agitators were disengaged, it was disconnected from the mechani-cal seal as well. This was done to prevent the load of

shaft being transferred on to the mechanical seal faces. This time, the Oxidation maintenance team developed a clamp for

holding the shaft in position with the trestle as the gear-box is decoupled from the drive shaft. This innovative

method eliminated the need for the tedious activity of disengagement of the mechanical seal and saved precious time on a critical job.

a

the primary objective of plant maintenance is to sustain good operating conditions for each equipment so as to

ensure health and reliability of the plant and minimize inef-ficiencies and losses. A major step in this direction was taken by rectification of Acetic Acid leakage from TA Drier feed end seal. Acetic Acid fumes leakage had suddenly increased which posed an imminent threat to the environmental conditions of the plant. The fumes were also a health risk for operators and maintenance staff working in the area. Moreover, Acetic Acid material losses were also being incurred at a calculated esti-mate of 5 tons/day which was a huge hit on variable costs.

Keeping in mind the criticality of this issue, an emergency

maintenance activity was planned and executed on Drier feed end seal. Alignment of seal faces was carried out and all 12 ram seal cylinders were replaced in co-ordination with instrumen-tation and workshop teams. Focused efforts and great team-work was shown by all personnel involved as a result of which the task was completed in short duration keeping plant outage to minimum. As a result of the activity, the leakage was mini-mized substantially resulting in a more congenial environment around the Drier and also improving Acetic Acid consumption efficiency. Overall, this action was another success story for Mechanical Maintenance team.

ambient conditions are impor-tant parameters for correlating

weather affects on process changes. Therefore, on-site Weather Moni-toring Station is an important instru-ment. Recently, high humidity and low temperature greatly affected GTG performance but there was no accurate real-time data available.

An industrial grade, state-of-the-art weather station was procured from Columbia Weather Systems, USA. It measures eight weather pa-rameters every second including

temperature, humidity, rain-fall, wind speed & direc-

tion. The whole station was installed and con-figured by Instrumenta-

tion Section without any vendor support. Real-time

data along with historic trends are now available on Aspen with help from IT Department. Now we can accurately correlate process param-eters with weather conditions and make timely decisions. This system will also play a vital role during an HSE Emergency; monitoring wind speed and direction will help the Op-erations Team make safer decisions during a toxic gas emergency.

the Safety Orientation Program is required for all new employees,

contractors and visitors at LCPL with an objective to provide awareness on HSE&S procedures & associated precau-tions before execution of any activity at plant site and offices. HSE department conducts this awareness session on daily basis at LCPL plant site.

HSE assessed that the hazards of working in the City Office do not entire-ly match the ones at the plant site. This

resulted in creation of a separate safety induction program for City Office.Mr. Jamal Haider (Administration Officer) & Syed Sibtain Haider (Administration Officer) were nominated for con-ducting induction at City Of-fice. A formal training session was conducted by HSE and the system has been launched w.e.f Oct 01, 2014.

Our special thanks to Mr. Mo-hammad Wasim (Director Manufactur-

ing), Mr. Adnan Wasey Samdani (Chief Financial Officer & Company Secretary). Mr. Shabbir K Hussain (HSE & Business

Development Manager), Mr. Raja Waheed Ullah Khan (Corporate

Human Resource Manager) & Mr. Col. (R) Asadullah Chughtai (General Affairs & Security

Manager) for their valuable support and encouragement in

implementation of the task.a

there are about three hun-dred split air condition-

ing units installed at plant site. Sometimes their maintenance re-quires carrying out functionality check of components such as compressors, blower and condenser motors, control wiring and other electronic circuits.

Previously, these activities were car-ried out through different instruments and power supplies in workshop. How-ever, with increase in the amount of work, it was getting difficult to arrange all the instruments and separate power supplies for testing the air conditioning units. Also, it was not possible to keep the spare parts and spare units separately in workshop.

The electrical team came up with the idea of developing a separate test bench for testing split air conditioning units. The testing panel has been designed in such a way that all the required sockets, switch-es and instruments are installed in it.The test bench has been designed in house and all the equipments and instruments are utilized from the available inventory. Some of the material has been taken from usable scrap as well. No additional cost has been incurred on the development of this test bench. This idea was material-ized and implemented successfully by the efforts of Mr. Muhammad Hassan Kazmi and his team who put in their best efforts to complete the designing and installation of this test bench in the area near the fab-rication shop. a

One of the top priorities of any business is to find cost-effec-

tive solutions to any problem.The maintenance team plays

a significant role in ensuring that quality work is performed while keeping the cost at a minimum. This is possible through cost-saving ini-tiatives, spares and local development. One such initiative was the local de-velopment of the ‘Feed Pipe’ of the sludge centrifuge at the effluent treatment plant. In the past, the

feed pipe was procured from its OEM. The workshop team played a key role in providing support for the fabrication of the feed pipe. As a result, two feed pipes were fab-

ricated and the results were satisfactory.

This successful en-deavor reduced the lead time and also rendered

a substantial reduction in cost. The lead time was re-

duced by 7 weeks and the cost by over 0.5 million PKR.

a

an absorption chiller was installed at the efflu-ent treatment plant. This chiller was installed

to cool down the temperature of waste, which is an integral part of the treatment process before drain-ing into the open sea. However, the chiller was not performing efficiently; decreased efficiency, low MTBF and frequent tube leakages were the main concerns that neede to be addressed. Installation of an alternative chiller was also considered.

The Maintenance Utilities team chose to over-

haul the chiller with the support of a local vendor. Each component of the machine was evaluated and a modified repair methodology was developed. All possible leakage points were carefully identi-fied, repaired and tested. This was followed by pressure testing, vacuum testing and gas charging. Chemistry balancing was later performed in col-laboration with the Technical department.

The availability of an efficient absorption chiller has enhanced the reliability of the effluent treat-ment plant. One of the two centrifugal chillers has now been taken offline, yielding a substantial sav-ing in electricity costs. a

During the summer, two chillers are kept in continuous operation at Effluent Treatment Plant to cater for increased effluent load. One of

these two chillers tripped on a heavy power dip resulting in damage to its Thrust and Radial bearings. This required a complete machine overhaul which includes dismantling, inspection, repair, impeller balancing, assem-bly, pressure testing, vacuuming and Gas charging.

Average Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) the Centrifugal chiller is around 4-5 weeks. The main challenge faced by the Maintenance team was to complete the entire overhauling activity in 2 weeks to allow continuous plant operation.

Upon inspection, a few critical parts were found damaged which were not available in inventory due to their high cost. These were reclaimed, serviced and fitted back. A high speed gear shaft was also recovered from Usable yard and installed after its refurbishment. During overhauling pe-riod, the maintenance team worked round the clock and demonstrated

very high level of skill and dedication. Machine was assembled well within and taken back online due to which there was no reduc-

tion in plant load. a
