Steam: Major Source for heating and electricity generation

The utility of steam is multifold and can be put to use in a variety of industries for multiple purposes. Steam is a secondary source of energy since it is produced from water by combustion of any type of primary source of fuel in a boiler. Steam is produced out of a single process of energy conversion; it is a cheap source of energy.

Following characteristics of steam make it an ideal medium for heat transfer applications:

·         Efficient and economical to generate

·         Uniform heating - easy to distribute

·         Easy to control

·         Easily transferred to the process by its own pressure

·         Steam plant easy to maintain

·         Heat transfer takes place at constant temperature

The applications for steam are heating processes in plants and steam driven turbines in electric power plants, 

used by the massive petrochemical complexes to the local microbrewery, steam is an integral part of these processes.

Steam is one of the most versatile utility in the industrial energy arena today. In addition to simple heating applications, it can also be deployed in various industrial processes like cleaning, sterilization, drying, concentration, separation and evaporation.

·         In culinary applications, it preserves flavours, textures, and retains nutrients. For processing of vegetables and food, steam is used for sterilization and drying under vacuum.

·         The use of steam in the industry for the purpose of cleaning does not harm surfaces, motors, bearing seals, sensors and machinery equipment. Hence the requirement of mask off or cover equipment prior to cleaning is not there. There is very less chance of any cross-contamination and thus it helps in faster clean up.

·         The freshwater, naturally available from various sources, requires varying degrees of treatment before being fed to the boiler. Treatment of boiler feed water prevents the formation of scales and deposits, removes dissolved gases, protects against corrosion, eliminates water & steam carry-over, optimizes boiler efficiency and minimizes maintenance costs. Improper or nonexistent feed water treatment is the major cause of boiler failure.

·         In biotechnology applications, steam is produced in various grades of purity. Steam ranges in purity from boiler grade for routine tasks, to culinary grade “Clean Steam” for food and dairy, and goes up to super pure, pyrogen-free steam for biopharmaceutical and intravenous use.

·         In case of “dry saturated steam” there is a definite relationship between temperature and pressure of the steam. This characteristic of steam helps in controlling the processes precisely.

·         In the frigid oil & gas fields, steam is used for heat tracing of tanks and pipelines to keep processes moving.

Steam is a safe, flexible, economical, aseptic, and environment-friendly. Steam can be generated through combustion of fossil fuels, biomass or biogas. In the thermal power stations, steam is required to be produced in huge quantity for generation of electricity. The steam has to be produced at very high pressure (>150 kg/cm2) and high temperature (> 5400C), to produce steam in abundance, large volumes of feed water are supplied to the boiler. Although feed water cycle of a thermal power plant is a closed loop process, there is always some loss of water while it moves through the closed cycle. This loss of water has to be made up by addition of treated water into the feed water tank via de-aerator. Feed water contains dissolved oxygen, which can cause corrosion in the boiler tubes. Hence the dissolved oxygen must be removed from the feed water. This process is carried out in the de-aerator with the help of steam. De-oxygenated and heated feed water enters the boiler by means of feed water pump, where it is further treated with chemicals.

Samina Khalid(RENISHAW) - Journey From Glamour to Glory

The thirst for knowledge, the sheer confidence in her work, and the willpower to go against the traditional revolutionizing the manufacturing sector in a way which many believed, wouldn’t have been possible at all.ways of the society and work have paved the way for a successful career in Ms. Samina Khalid’s life. Machine Maker is proud to showcase the story of this incredible woman who is doing her part in

Samina studied BSc in Biotech from Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College after which with her alma mater as the University of Pune did MBA in International Business. She started off her professional life as an intern in the marketing department of United Breweries group and later worked for Yash Raj Films for almost a year. However, away from the glitz of glamour world, she found her true calling in the manufacturing industry.

 She started her career in the manufacturing industry with CNC Servicing and Solutions, a part of HAAS Automation, a global leader in machine manufacturing. To prepare for the interview she had nothing but only a landing page of the company. Nevertheless, her ambition and determination helped her bag the job. On the second day itself, she was introduced to the massive machines and was left baffled by the thought that she now had to market these.

 The role called for starting everything from scratch and raising an entire marketing team. Something that seemed like a challenge for any fresher out there looked like an opportunity for Ms. Khalid. She used this opportunity to sharpen her skills and prepare the grounds for handling tasks that are even more challenging. Throughout this process, she was pleased to have extremely supportive colleagues and boss like Ashish Lala. According to Mr. Ashish Lala, “Samina is a very goal driven person. As modern career women, she is very much focused, whatever work was assigned to her she did it very well and gave it her best”.

Unlike any other industry, Ms. Khalid notes that people in the manufacturing industry are extremely supportive. They give their best when it comes to sharing of knowledge which in turn helped her a lot during her initial days, which she believes wouldn’t have been the case if it was any other industry.

 During her career with the manufacturing industry, she worked with a number of departments within the marketing department, right from internal sales to sales dashboard. She made her presence felt in a traditionally male dominant sector of the industry. Being a woman she faced challenges during her career but with her sheer willpower, she overcame all the challenges to become what she is today, the marketing manager of UK based Renishaw’s Indian arm. Renishaw specializes in industrial metrology and spectroscopy and sells its products in the major markets around the world. With her career exposure abroad and in both US-based and UK based firms in India, she strongly believes that Renishaw is very systematic when it comes to work and is an ideal place to work in. Her career at Renishaw has been extremely fruitful for both the company and herself, her ability to analyze other types of industry and implement the same has been extremely rewarding for Renishaw.

The National Sales Manager of Renishaw India Mr. Sanjay Sangam has been very helpful to her, right from sharing his experience to keeping her updated about the industry he has played an instrumental role in making her career life a huge success. Mr. Sanjay noted, “Samina is a very professional woman, she knows what she is doing, she is a person who is very passionate about her job”. He further went on to say that Samina is a person who can be completely relied on; he says he can completely rely on her for organizing any events, exhibition and be sure that everything will be perfect.

 Samina has set a benchmark for every professional in the manufacturing industry, both men, and women. She never shied away from taking up the challenging task, was available 24/7 whenever the work demanded, and sometimes even the non-availability of basic human needs didn’t stop her from going to various exhibitions for her company and taking up the work assigned to her. She does point out that whenever she had to be at an exhibition for her firm she would be there days in advance to the start, so as to help smooth arrangement. She also points out that there weren’t too many females out there prior and after the event, at first there weren’t any proper washrooms for a woman too, but now the time has changed the thought process has changed now, so has arrangement for women. But still, she points out that there is a lack of participation of woman’s in such event and there is a need for improvement in this area.

There are several challenging incidents Samina went through during her career. There was a particular occasion while preparing for an exhibition at Delhi for CNC Automation. The truck carrying Haas Machine got broke down at Rudrapur, and the driver informed her the same about at 10 pm. She just herself got a replacement truck, went down herself, got it fixed, and came back at around 2.30am with the material so that the exhibition would take place without any hindrance, something that her boss doesn’t know up to date as she feels it’s a part of a work and needn’t be shared.

 She also finds time away from her professional life, voicing and championing issues pertaining to the social life in our society. This year Samina and her friends under the banner of team Free Soul has been selected for Times Women’s Drive. Times Women’s Drive has supported the cause of women’s cancer with a dedicated team collaborating with various organizations and work for the betterment of cancer survivors.

There are a lot of challenges India faces in the manufacturing sector. She rightly pointed out that the biggest problem faced by the manufacturing sector today, specifically in India, isn’t the non-availability of technology or skilled manpower; it’s the reluctance of the industry to move away from the traditional methods of doing a task. The industry is just not ready or doesn’t find it necessary to find out new methods and ways for doing a task in a much more efficient and rewarding way.

Determination An Elixir of Life

At just 21, he is the youngest among all the IMPALSIANS, but he is the most sought after team member too! He joined us as an intern three months ago but since then has made such a powerful impact with his work that surprised one and all.

Today we are highlighting the journey of our bright Graphic Design intern Aakarsh Raj.

He hails from Bokaro, in the state of Jharkhand, a 2 hours drive from Ranchi, home to one of India’s most successful captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Akarsh was the youngest member of the Raj family too, pampered and loved by two elder sisters. He completed his SSC from DAV Kathara and HSC from DAV Swang in the Science stream. He was an average student in school, and his true interest and talent were in drawing and painting from a very tender age even without formal training.

He was only 9 years old when he lost mother who passed away after prolonged illness. Like talent, tragedy doesn’t spare tender aged either, and this loss left a vacuum in his life forever. His sisters never let him feel the absence of their mother though, pampering and showering him with love to the utmost. However, this experience made him self-caring and taught him the lesson in responsibility.

Ashwa Riders Unleashing Potential in Go Kart Engineering

For Sahil Mohan Dhabale, Engineering warranted sportsman spirit and a never-say-die attitude to keep up his team’s spirit. After all, engineering was never just a stream of study for his own success; he realized it was a portal of India’s latent potential in an interesting engineering field, karting or race engineering.

As a captain should lead from the front, Sahil rightly led his team “Ashwa-Riders” to victory in one India’s prestigious go-kart events, Indian Kart Racing Championship 2018 after early setbacks couple of years ago.

This is a saga of an extraordinary achievement. A group of final year students of Bachelor of Engineering of St. Vincent Pallotti College of Engineering and Technology formed a motorsport team named “Ashwa-Riders” in 2015 to make Go-Kart.  

The ebullient team participated in National Kart Racing Championship in the same year. The team tried to be their best but ended up ranking 20th position, only to have Sahil and company brooding over how to improve the project.

Time had an opportune moment and chance for them in store and the patent was approved by the government of India recently. This rejuvenated the team as it was a big break for them.

5 Mistakes SMEs Do in Marketing

Marketing makes or breaks a business, reason why big brands splurge on marketing on different platforms. However, just like every decision in business does not yield desired results, marketing too sometimes fail partly or out rightly. Big names or brands, can afford to forgo the wastage of time money in undesired results due to the cushion in budget. But small businesses or SMEs, in particular, do not get that cushion as they run short on time and resources and so there is little margin for error for SMEs.

This is not as much to say that SMEs should not think about using the power of marketing, they should know the right approach to marketing. Much as they need to know what to do in marketing, they should better know what not to do in marketing to avoid the common mistakes SMEs often commit.

If you are an owner of SME business or are mulling plans to start your own business, sooner or later, you should take note of these don’ts that will give your business the boost it needs to become a brand.
