III.3 AFR Thermal Substitution Rate of 10.75 % in 16-17
Our Dalmia Bharat Ltd., had also taken up AFR as a focus area, having got Sustainability
rooted in Our Corporate Vision viz. “Our vision is to become a leader in building
materials and evoke pride in all stakeholders through customer-centricity, innovation,
Sustainability and our values.”
In this Case study, a glimpse of the AFR Journey of our Dalmiapuram plant is dealt with,
highlighting the key actions from in-house team, leading to achieving a TSR of 10.75 % in
FY 16-17.
AFR utilized at our Dalmiapuram Plant with in-house developed feeding system –
Objective, Challenges, Actions and results. Several AFR materials identified and utilized
in 16-17 at our Dalmiapuram Plant with necessary approvals.
I.Objective:
Maximizing AFR consumption, with minimum investment
Reducing the operating cost
Reducing the Capital cost
ii) Challenges in the earlier system:
AFR Material was fed in to Line 1 Pyro clone , through winch bucket and handled manually,
The lifting Height was 45 mtr from Ground level
Handling the AFR material in bags was laborious
Low feed rate
Extra coal consumption due to false air entry
CO generation due to inconsistent feed
A proposal made to feed the AFR through proper conveying and measuring system had high
capital cost for (Rs.4.5 Crs for 4 TPH systems)
Team decided to go for an in house system, harnessing available resources, in view of high capital cost.
iii)Actions taken:
Old Passenger Lift available in adjacent building was modified with extended Height
To utilize this unused passenger lift in line-1 old pre-heater Building,
A motorized tippling chute arrangement was made in the ground level to fill the lift cabin.
The lift cabin was modified with bottom trap door arrangement, to unload material in to the storage
bin.
A 10Ton storage cum extractor bin was placed at 45 Metre level.
The extractor in the bin will feed the material to belt conveyor, which are controlled by VFD
The belt will feed to screw conveyor, which is connected to Raiser duct thru Double flap and shutoff
gates.
iv)Savings:
Project cost of new system is 4.5 Cr. This in House system cost 50 Lacs.
Net saving about 4.0 Cr
With Innovation …Creativity…Team work, this initiative was made to a success.
III. 4 Water Conservation
– Our Innovative efforts resulting in
Conservation of 500 Cub. M/Day
Necessity is the Mother of invention. Facing an acute water shortage this summer, Our Team
Dalmiapuram plant had carried out a Water Audit in Dec’16, brainstormed and implemented several
conservation initiatives and achieved a conservation of about 500 Cub. M / Day.
Encountered Water shortage in our plant vicinity and low yield from our Captive Source, more so in view
of hot summer and less rain fall this year.
Team Dalmiapuram Plant felt the need for Water conservation, as there was a shortage in supply from our
Captive source / Rain water harvesting Ponds. Water conservation focus has been not just for the
necessity but also as our contribution towards Sustainability & Green cement, in line with our Corporate
Vision .“Our vision is to become a leader in building materials and evoke pride in all stakeholders through
customer-centricity, innovation, Sustainability and our values.”
The world’s population of about 7 billion is estimated to go up to 9.6 billion in 2050. Unless we adopt
judicious water conservation approach, we will not be able to meet our per capita requirement. Thus,
water becomes a precious resource and conservation is inevitable. Conserving water also saves energy
required for Pumping. The oceans, streams and lakes that are the lifeblood of so many local eco-systems
are to be protected. As a social cause, water conservation is everyone’s responsibility.
20
II. DIAGNOSTIC and REMEDIAL JOURNEY (Water Audit , Action Plan and Implementation)
To identify conservation potential, we have carried out a Structured Water Audit and an optimization Study.
Based on this, several ideas were generated thro’ brainstorming and implemented solutions / improvement
actions as below, achieving about 500 cum/day:
i. Capacity de-bottlenecking at our STP (Sewage Treatment Plant) to increase the yield
ii. Treated STP water usage for Plant process, replacing Raw Water
iii. Level sensors installation.
iv. Leakage Management- Major Leakage in an underground pipeline identified thro’ a meticulous
inspection/check and arrested by replacing 300 Metre pipeline.
v. Checking and repairing of Float Valves provided at Over Head Tanks to avoid overflow wastages.
vi. Optimization of Domestic Water usage in Plant thro’ awareness, pep talk and education.
vii. Re-utilization of RO Reject from CPP after treatment
21
II. DIAGNOSTIC and REMEDIAL JOURNEY (Water Audit , Action Plan and Implementation)
viii. Installation of automatic control system to Line-2 Domestic Water Over Head Tank.
ix. Cooling Tower Management.
x. Leakage of Water taps is arrested by Inspection, Repairing & Replacement in all Colony Houses, Schools
and Guest House.
xi. Creating awareness
xii. Installation of Flow meters to receipt/supply locations at our Plant
xiii. Provision of Flow meters to our Colony & School
xiv. Daily Water Monitoring and reports circulation to concerned ( water gets measured and gets controlled)
xv. Sprinkler system for Watering to Garden
xvi. Drip irrigation for tree saplings
xvii. Ideas involving investment were listed separately, Action Plan drawn with responsibility and time frame
(as given in Full Paper) and monitored with focus for quick implementation.
22
III. RESULTS / HOLDING THE GAINS
✓On implementations of the above measures close to 500 Cub. M/day of conservation achieved
and sustained thro’ daily Monitoring.
All diabetics know about – Exercise, Diet & Medication but the key however lies in action.
