MY CONTRIBUTIONS TO INDUSTRIES for 39 yearsCredits for Improvement suggested / implemented:A. QATAR GAS (2008sept till date) shift supervisor plant commissioning& operating SRU train4, 5&6 unit-1 and 2, 3&4 plants (ready to commissioning) Sulfur granules spillages on floor, sulfur along with sand, while loading to ships is amounting to 300 bags over 6-7 months period – no way to dump or discard, suggested for re melting and in filter mesh to retain sand &through it away, thus the sulfur recovered back as sulfur liquid and regranulation now the waste bags are hardly 3-4 and being reprocessed, suggested for marketing liquid sulfur B. CHENNAI PETROLEUM CORPORATION LIMITEDSulfur Recovery Unit (2005-2008):Dy.manager

Reactor temperature reduced from 1300 C to 1000 C to reduce SO2 emitted in the stack Detected and corrected the Air Demand Analysis Calculation block to reduce the SO2

emissions and also improve the plant yield Inter connections of various column and   platform sections suggested for ensuring ease

in operation / access and as safe exit in case of emergencyC. HGU&NHT-CRU (2003-2005):Dy.manager

Involved in plant commissioning & operation NHT  splitter over head  light naphtha was diverted as Hexane plant feed

D. Oil Movements and Storage (1992-1996 & 1999-2003) Dy.manager Blending of SK and HN batches to meet the specification of 0.5% Sulfur in Diesel done

before commissioning of DHDS plant Reduced internal transfer operation time by pumping SK return stream from LAB plant

for blending in SK, HSD &FO tanks  Reduced FO making by persuading marketing section to market asphalt directly

E. Cauvery Basin Refinery- CDU (1996-99) shift manager Existing under utilized 4th naphtha tank used receiving additional crude thus increasing

the throughput CDU distillation temperature reduced from 375 C to 347 C based on past experience at

the UOP operated NNPC (CDU temperature 343 C) and saved energy Withdrawal of Heavy naphtha to blend in Naphtha rundown was suggested to meet the

Naphtha RVP specification and also increase overall crude throughput F. NNPC-Nigeria CDU& VDU (1989--1992) panel operator

VDU reflux TIC was taken in manual and prevented S/D failures due to regular rains Suggested LSRG as a substitute to imported hexane for a local vegetable oil industry and

LSRG thus found a direct marketing substituting imported HEXANE Surplus FCCU feedstock (HVGO) marketing proposed and was marketed subsequently

G. Wax plant (1983-1989) panel operator Feed stock conservation done by recirculation For additional product existing slabs + pellets (suggested prills & demonstrated) Proposed use of by product Foots oil to market as direct product and also it is used As feed to FCCU / Hydro Cracker leading to value addition    Condensed solvent vapor was routed to vacuum filter without any pump   Spilled waste product wax was recycled by reclamation system was developed
