About IFFCO During mid- sixties the Co-operative sector in India was responsible for distribution of 70 per cent of fertilisers consumed in the country. This Sector had adequate infrastructure to distribute fertilisers but had no production facilities of its own and hence dependent on public/private Sectors for supplies. To overcome this lacuna and to bridge the demand supply gap in the country, a new cooperative society was conceived to specifically cater to the requirements of farmers. It was an unique venture in which the farmers of the country through their own Co-operative Societies created this new institution to safeguard their interests. The number of Co-operative Societies associated with IFFCO have risen from 57 in 1967 to 39,824 at present. Indian Farmers Fertiliser Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967 as a Multiunit Co-operative Society. On the enactment of the Multistate Co-operative Societies act 1984 & 2002, the Society is deemed to be registered as a Multistate Co-operative Society. The Society is primarily engaged in production and distribution of fertilisers. The byelaws of the Society provide a broad frame work for the activities of IFFCO as a Co-operative Society. IFFCO commissioned an ammonia - urea complex at Kalol and the NPK/DAP plant at Kandla both in the state of Gujarat in 1975. Another ammonia - urea complex was set up at Phulpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981. The ammonia - urea unit at Aonla was commissioned in 1988. In 1993, IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programme of all the four plants under overall aegis of IFFCO VISION 2000. The expansion projects at Aonla, Kalol, Phulpur and Kandla were completed on schedule. All the projects conceived as part of VISION 2000 had been realised without time or cost overruns. All the production units of IFFCO have established a reputation for excellence and quality. Another growth path was chalked out to realise newer dreams and greater heights through Vision 2010. As part of this vision, IFFCO has acquired fertiliser unit at Paradeep in Orissa in September 2005. As a result of these expansion projects and acuisition, IFFCO's annual capacity has been increased to 3.69 million tonnes of Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 1.71 million tonnes. In pursuit of its growth and development, IFFCO had embarked upon and successfully implemented its Corporate Plans, „Mission 2005‟ and „Vision 2010‟. These plans have resulted in IFFCO becoming one of the largest producer and marketeer of Chemical fertilisers by expansion of its existing Units, setting up Joint Venture Companies Overseas and Diversification into new Sectors. IFFCO has now visualized a comprehensive plan titled „Vision-2015‟ which is presently under implementation. IFFCO has made strategic investments in several joint ventures. Indian Potash Ltd (IPL) in India, Industries Chimiques du Senegal (ICS) in Senegal, Oman India Fertiliser Company (OMIFCO) in Oman and Jordan India Fertiliser Company (JIFCO) are important fertiliser joint ventures. As part of strategic diversification, IFFCO has entered into several key sectors. IFFCO-Tokio General Insurance Ltd (ITGI) is a foray into general insurance sector. Through ITGI, IFFCO has formulated new services of benefit to farmers. 'Sankat Haran Bima Yojana' provides free insurance cover to farmers along with each bag of IFFCO fertiliser purchased. To take the benefits of emerging concepts like agricultural commodity trading, IFFCO has taken equity in National Commodity and Derivative Exchange (NCDEX) and National

Collateral Management Services Ltd (NCMSL). IFFCO Chattisgarh Power Ltd (ICPL) which is under implementation is yet another foray to move into core area of power. IFFCO is also behind several other companies with the sole intention of benefitting farmers. The distribution of IFFCO's fertiliser is undertaken through over 39824 Co-operative Societies. The entire activities of Distribution, Sales and Promotion are co-ordinated by Marketing Central Office (MKCO) at New Delhi assisted by the Marketing offices in the field. In addition, essential agro-inputs for crop production are made available to the farmers through a chain of 158 Farmers Service Centre (FSC). IFFCO has promoted several institutions and organisations to work for the welfare of farmers, strengthening cooperative movement, improve Indian agriculture. Indian Farm Forestry Development Cooperative Ltd (IFFDC), Cooperative Rural Development Trust (CORDET), IFFCO Foundation, Kisan Sewa Trust belong to this category. An ambitious project 'ICT Initiatives for Farmers and Cooperatives' is launched to promote e-culture in rural India. IFFCO obsessively nurtures its relations with farmers and undertakes a large number of agricultural extension activities for their benefit every year. At IFFCO, the thirst for ever improving the services to farmers and member co-operatives is insatiable, commitment to quality is insurmountable and harnessing of mother earths' bounty to drive hunger away from India in an ecologically sustainable manner is the prime mission. All that IFFCO cherishes in exchange is an everlasting smile on the face of Indian Farmer who form the moving spirit behind this mission. IFFCO, to day, is a leading player in India's fertiliser industry and is making substantial contribution to the efforts of Indian Government to increase foodgrain production in the country.

Ammonia Plant The Ammonia Plant is designed to produce 1100 tonnes of ammonia per day based on MW Kellogg steam reforming of natural gas process. Original plant capacity was 910 tpd, which is upgraded to 1100 tpd in the year 1997 with an add on Naphtha Pre-reformer unit (equivalent to ammonia production of 250 MTPD) to use the naphtha as feed stock alongwith natural gas. Presently, operation of Naphtha Pre-reformer is stopped as per guidelines of GOI. Presently, Ammonia Plant operates with 100 % gas as feed and fuel. Feed gas is first purified in the Desulphuriser -Activated Carbon and then mixed with steam, and this natural gas & steam mixture is partially reformed in Primary Reformer. A mixture of gases, coming out from Primary Reformer, enters Secondary Reformer where stoichiometric quantity of air is introduced. The process gas leaving the Secondary Reformer contain nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. At exit of Secondary Reformer, high pressure (HP) steam is generated with process gas. Then these gases are passed through Shift Converters (i.e. HTS, LT Guard & LTS) where most of the carbon monoxide gets converted to carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide from process gas removed in CO2 Removal System where carbon dioxide is absorbed in an activated Methyl Diethanol Amine (aMDEA) solution. Activated Methyl Diethanol Amine (aMDEA) solution from CO2 Absorber is letdown to HP Flash Vessel through hydraulic turbine. The aMDEA solution from HP flash is further letdown to LP Flash Vessel . The offgases from HP Flash Vessel is recycled back to CO2 Absorber.The solution in LP Flash Vessel is known as semi-lean aMDEA solution. The semi lean solution from LP Flash Vessel is pumped back into CO2 Absorber and CO2 Stripper. The aMDEA solution regeneration heat in CO2 Stripper is supplied by LTS exit process gases after heat recovery in BFW preheater. The vapor from CO2 Stripper is sent to LP Flash Vessel and off gases from LP Flash Vessel is further cooled & sent to Urea Plant as CO2 Product . The process gases from exit of CO2 Absorber are again purified in the Methanator where the remaining small quantities of carbon oxides are converted to methane. The gas after purification is a mixture of mainly nitrogen and hydrogen in 1:3 proportion. Ammonia Dehydrator unit is installed to removed the oxygenated compound like CO, CO2 , H2O etc from syn gas at first stage discharge of Syn Gas Compressor. Liquid ammonia at -32 degC is used for washing the syn gas at Ammonia Dehydrator. The final stage discharge of Syn Gas Compressor is sent to two Ammonia Synthesis Converters. In Synthesis Converters, nitrogen and hydrogen combine to form ammonia and then syn gas passed through a train of coolers & chillers to condensed the ammonia formed in converted and un converted syn gas is recycled back to Syn Gas Compressor. A small stream of gases being purged from the synthesis loop is sent to the Purge Gas Recovery Plant where hydrogen is recovered by cryogenic process. This hydrogen is recycled to the synthesis loop and balance is used as fuel in Primary Reformer Furnace. The separated liquid ammonia is purified by further flashing in Ammonia flash drums and it is then sent to Urea Plant or to an Atmospheric Storage Tanks, having 10,000 or 5,000 tonnes capacity.

Fire and Safety Department IFFCO has established procedures to conduct safety meetings, safety audits, and Risk assessment to identify potential accidents and emergency situations in the plant. The emergency situations, which have the potential to cause serious injuries or loss of lives, damage to property and serious disruption inside and out side the organization or to environment have been identified as FIRE, EXPLOSION and TOXIC RELEASE due to bursting of any of the high pressure lines, or explosion in vessels or pipe lines or catastrophic failure of tanks. Locations and types of emergency • Ammonia Plant Fire, Explosion, Toxic Release • Urea & Granulation Plant Toxic Release, Fire, Explosion • Steam & Power Generation Fire & Explosion • Off Sites Utilities Toxic Release (Ammonia) • Product Handling Jetty Toxic Release Fire & Oil Spill • Response To Emergency To locate the emergency situation in the plant, automatic Fire & Gas Detection System has been installed. The fire and gas detection system (FGS) is intended to make an early detection of a fire situation and gas release (toxic and flammable) to provide a warning or alarm of the situation in order to allow check actions, either manual or automatic, to minimize the probability of degeneration of a dangerous situation. The FGS is an integrated set of FGS subsystems. Each plant building constitute a subsystem with its own local fire and gas panel and display, located inside the building, to handle local detectors and alarms, detectors and alarms relevant to a defined process area, to report individual or cumulative alarms to the central fire and gas panel in Central Control Room and to a Mimic panel in the Fire Station and security main gate house. Manual Call Points, Public address system, Intercom and wireless Systems are provided in the plant for fast communication with Emergency Control Center and Fire Station Control Room. On receipt of an alarm or fire/ gas leak message in Emergency Control Room, fire tender along with crew takes turnout and proceeds towards the scene of incident. The plant shift manager takes charge of the incident and acts as the Incident Controller and Fire crew in charge takes the command to control fire / emergency till the arrival of senior officers. Plant personnel are trained to work along side fire services and together provide a useful combination of skill and knowledge. If situation demands outside assistance, then ROP civil defense fire service are called under mutual aid scheme and emergency siren is blown as per the established siren tones.

Instrumentation Department Introduction to PLCS • Less wiring. • Wiring between devices and relay contacts are done in the PLC program. • Easier and faster to make changes. • Trouble shooting aids make programming easier and reduce downtime. • Reliable components make these likely to operate for years before failure. PLC Origin • • •

- Developed to replace relays in the late 1960s - Costs dropped and became popular by 1980s - Now used in many industrial designs

Historical Background The Hydrometric Division of the General Motors Corporation specified the design criteria for the first programmable controller in 1968 Their primary goal To eliminate the high costs associated with inflexible, relay-controlled systems. • The controller had to be designed in modular form, so that sub-assemblies could be removed easily for replacement or repair. • The control system needed the capability to pass data collection to a central system. • The system had to be reusable. • The method used to program the controller had to be simple, so that it could be easily understood by plant personnel.

1 -MINUTE A tank is used to mix two liquids. The control circuit operates as follows: 1. When the start button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank. 2. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. 3. The motor is permitted to run for one minute. After one minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. 4. When the tank is empty, the float switch de-energizes solenoid C. 5. A stop button can be used to stop the process at any point. 6. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. 7. Once the circuit has been energized it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped.

I/O Circuits DIFFERENT TYPES OF I/O CIRCUITS 1. Pilot Duty Outputs Outputs of this type typically are used to drive high-current electromagnetic loads such as solenoids, relays, valves, and motor starters. These loads are highly inductive and exhibit a large inrush current. Pilot duty outputs should be capable of withstanding an inrush current of 10 times the rated load for a short period of time without failure. 2. General - Purpose Outputs These are usually low- voltage and low-current and are used to drive indicating lights and other non-inductive loads. Noise suppression may or may not be included on this types of modules. 3. Discrete Inputs Circuits of this type are used to sense the status of limit switches, push buttons, and other discrete sensors. Noise suppression is of great importance in preventing false indication of inputs turning on or off because of noise. 4. Analog I/O Circuits of this type sense or drive analog signals. Analog inputs come from devices, such as thermocouples, strain gages, or pressure sensors, that provide a signal voltage or current that is derived from the process variable. Standard Analog Input signals: 4-20mA; 0-10V Indus Institute of Technology and Engineering

Page 21

Analog outputs can be used to drive devices such as voltmeters, X-Y recorders, servomotor drives, and valves through the use of transducers. Standard Analog Output signals: 4-20mA; 0-5V; 0-10V 5. Special - Purpose I/O Circuits of this type are used to interface PLCs to very specific types of circuits such as servomotors, stepping motors PID (proportional plus integral plus derivative) loops, high-speed pulse counting, resolver and decoder inputs, multiplexed displays, and keyboards. This module allows for limited access to timer and counter presets and other PLC variables without requiring a program loader.

Processor The processor module contains the PLC‟s microprocessor, its supporting circuitry, and its memory system. The main function of the microprocessor is to analyze data coming from field sensors through input modules, make decisions based on the user‟s defined control program and return signal back through output modules to the field devices. Field sensors: switches, flow, level, pressure, temp. transmitters, etc. Field output devices: motors, valves, solenoids, lamps, or audible devices. The memory system in the processor module has two parts: a system memory and an application memory.

Indus Institute of Technology and Engineering

Page 24

Basic Function of a Typical PLC Read all field input devices via the input interfaces, execute the user program stored in application memory, then, based on whatever control scheme has been programmed by the user, turn the field output devices on or off, or perform whatever control is necessary for the process application. This process of sequentially reading the inputs, executing the program in memory, and updating the outputs is known as scanning. While the PLC is running, the scanning process includes the following four phases, which are repeated continuously as individual cycles of operation:

PHASE 1

Read Inputs Scan PHASE 2

Program Execution PHASE 3

Diagnostics/ Comm PHASE 4

Output Scan

Indus Institute of Technology and Engineering

Page 25

PHASE 1 – Input Status scan  A PLC scan cycle begins with the CPU reading the status

of its inputs.

PHASE 2– Logic Solve/Program Execution  The application program is executed using the status of the inputs PHASE 3– Logic Solve/Program Execution  Once the program is executed, the CPU performs diagnostics and communication tasks PHASE 4 - Output Status Scan •An output status scan is then performed, whereby the stored output values are sent to actuators and other field output devices. The cycle ends by updating the outputs.

As soon as Phase 4 are completed, the entire cycle begins again with Phase 1 input scan. The time it takes to implement a scan cycle is called SCAN TIME. The scan time composed of the program scan time, which is the time required for solving the control program, and the I/O update time, or time required to read inputs and update outputs. The program scan time generally depends on the amount of memory taken by the control program and type of instructions used in the program. The time to make a single scan can vary from 1 ms to 100 ms. PLC Communications

Common Uses of PLC Communications Ports  Changing resident PLC programs - uploading/downloading from a supervisory controller (Laptop or desktop computer).  Forcing I/O points and memory elements from a remote terminal.  Linking a PLC into a control hierarchy containing several sizes of PLC and computer.  Monitoring data and alarms, etc. via printers or Operator Interface Units (OIUs). Serial Communications PLC communications facilities normally provides serial transmission of information. Common Standards RS 232  Used in short-distance computer communications, with the majority of computer hardware and peripherals.  Has a maximum effective distance of approx. 30 m at 9600 baud.

Local Area Network (LAN) Local Area Network provides a physical link between all devices plus providing overall data exchange management or protocol, ensuring that each device can “talk” to other machines and understand data received from them. LANs provide the common, high-speed data communications bus which interconnects any or all devices within the local area. LANs are commonly used in business applications to allow several users to share costly software packages and peripheral equipment such as printers and hard disk storage. RS 422 / RS 485  Used for longer-distance links, often between several PCs in a distributed system. RS 485 can have a maximum distance of about 1000 meters. Specifications Several factors are used for evaluating the quality and performance of programmable controllers when selecting a unit for a particular application. These are listed below. NUMBER OF I /O PORTS This specifies the number of I/O devices that can be connected to the controller. There should be sufficient I/O ports to meet present requirements with enough spares to provide for moderate future expansion.

This variable is usually specified as the scan time per 1000 logic nodes and typically ranges from 1 to 200 milliseconds. MEMORY CAPACITY The amount of memory required for a particular application is related to the length of the program and the complexity of the control system. Simple applications having just a few relays do not require significant amount of memory. Program length tend to expand after the system have been used for a while. It is advantageous to a acquire a controller that has more memory than is presently needed. PLC Status Indicators • Power On • Run Mode • Programming Mode • Fault

2) Urea plant  CO2 recovery with installation of ejector/separator system for CO2 centrifugal compressor About 237 kg/h of CO2 from CO2 centrifugal compressor seal leak off gases of HP&LP cases is recovered by installing anejector/separator system. The CO2 recovery from vent gases is equivalent to additional urea production of 7 t/day. The net financial saving is Rs. 38 lakhs per annum.1932.2 Removal of last stage impeller and providing ARLON-1555 case wear rings for hydrolyser feed pump As an energy saving measure, the original SS 316 wear ring of the hydrolyser feed pump is rep As an energy saving measure, the original SS 316 wear ring of the hydrolyser feed pump is replaced by Greene Tweede Make "ARLON-1555" ring. The pump clearance has reduced from about 0.8 mm to 0.5 mm and the leakages across the seal system reduced resulting in increase of pump discharge pressure to 30.7 kg/cm2g as against the original normal pump discharge pressure of 24.0 kg/cm2g. With installation of ARLON-1555 wear ring and reducing one stage in hydrolyser feed pump, there is saving of 23.0 kWh power. Annual monetary saving will be Rs. 10 lakhs. In addition to above, ARLON-1555 case wear rings material imparts non-seizing and nongalling advantages, which will improve pump reliability. 

Installation of smaller capacity low head surface condensate pump in urea plant 52.5 m3/h capacity with 120 m head surface condensate pump was used to pump condensate from surface condenser to the utility deaerator. The actual required operating capacity is about 30 m3/h(design: 52.5 m3/h). 30.0 m3/h normal capacity (Rated: 35.0 m3/h) with 85 m head surface condensate pump is installed in place of the higher capacity surface condensate pump. About 17 kW power is saved by installing smaller capacity and low head surface condensate pump. The cost of new pump installation is about Rs. 2,00,000/-(rupees two lakh only). The monetary saving is Rs.7,30,000/-.per annum. The pay back period works out to be about three months.1942.4 Provision of bigger size second evaporator steam control valve to reduce pressure drop in steam system. The 3" control valve with Cv of 70 was designed for normal flow of 4.5 t/h with pressure drop of 3.0 kg/cm2. During high prilling load operation, it is required to supply 9.0 ata steam to second evaporator more than 4.5 t/h. It was causing limitation and the control was getting almost full open to maintain second evaporator outlet temperature. To keep the control valve in some operating range for operational flexibility, it was required to increase the 9 ata steam drum pressure to about 10.5 kg/cm2g. Steam system pressure loss survey was carried out & appreciable pressure loss was found across thecontrol valve. As per the study, to keep control valve in operating range with lower delta P across the control valve, higher Cv of the control valve (= 170) was required. As an energy saving measure, bigger size control valve is installed in June-2005 at cost of Rs.2.25 lakhs. With implementation of the scheme,the pressure drop across control valve has reduced, control valve supply full flow at desired 9.0 ata steam

drum pressure i.e. at about 7.0 to 8.0 kg/cm2g instead of 10.5 and control valve remains in operating range instead of wide open at full prilling load.It is now possible to maintain 9.0 ata steam drum pressure at 7.0 to 8.0 kg/cm2g. Due to this, about 1.0 t/h more 9.0 ata steam is generated from flashing of 23 ata steam condensate. The monetary saving works out to Rs.40 lakhs/annum. The pay back period is less than a month. 

Single urea solution pump operation by installing bigger size urea solution flow control valve During normal plant operation, with one urea solution pump in operation, urea solution flow control valve to first evaporator was remaining about full open. To meet the flow requirement, it was required to operate both the urea solution pumps in parallel operation and about 12 kW additional power was consumed in pumping system. To reduce the pressure drop in the control valve, the scheme is implemented as under. New 6" globe type control valve having CV:312, class 300 # RF is installed in place of existing control valve of CV:187. The cost of modifications was around Rs.6,70,000/- (rupees six lakhs seventy thousand only). With bigger195 size flow control valve, the flow control valve is remaining in operating range with one pump in operation. This has saved about 11.7 kWh of electric power equivalent to annual monetary saving of about Rs.5.09 lakhs. The pay back period is about of one and half year.
