- Ensured all the compartments of Reactor wall & Cleanout manhole inner carbon tile lining integrity by effective annual visual inspection & pointing work for each compartment as per applicable codes and standards for maintaining the reactor reliable and continuous availability to plant operation.
- Reactor Agitator MOC upgraded from SS 316L grade with butyl rubber lining to SS 904L solid shaft (or) Sanicro-28 tubular shaft which extends the service life from 3 years to 5 years.
- Reactor Agitator-1, 3, 4, 6 rubber lined base frame renewed which improves the agitator reliability and reduces abnormal vibration.
- Root cause analysis was carried out for all critical equipment failures like, shell leak on vacuum vessels (flash cooler vessel, condenser, pre-condenser, Filtrate receiver tank, etc.), shell bulge on fluorine absorber, shell leak on storage tanks, Manhole leak of Reactor manhole (compartment 07, 08 & 09) & frequent failure on reactor mixing tee. Recommendations for all the above failures were given as per the OEM guidelines, design specification and applicable codes & standards.
- Reactor Mixing Tee MOC upgraded from metallic concentric dip pipe to ceramic cone which improves the service life from 1 year to 3 years.
- Axial pump suction spool and discharge divergent spool 904L plate lining done to eliminate the frequent leak, to improvise the asset life and to reduce plant down time.
- Rod mill inner and outer grid plate assessed & renewed to improve the grinding efficiency and equipment reliability.
