P 18 Visag Innings '81-87Feb.

  P  18                                       

300millisecs
Without delaying any time, I got relieved from SAIL Villipuram and joined VREP in May.'81 as manager-Instrumentation for project execution.  The set up was led by Mr KS Vaidyanathan,GM and under him there were M/S DHP Rathinasamy and PRK Raju as DGMs.,under whom  we were various discipline lead managers..
 It so happened that before settling down itself, third day itself a team from MRL &BPCL called on us &explained that the Petroleum ministry is expecting all the new refinery projects  in the country have to go in for DCS (Distributed Control System ) instead of old conventional pneumatic analogue system. Only Cochin refinery was an exception since by that time they have already committed the order on M/S Taylor-ABB. Since that day,I became busy and engaged in that task as one of task force members of the country. Here I have to narrate a big story:
M/S EIL was the engineering consultant for all the 4 upcoming refinery projects & everty project activity was managed and controlled by them only. As electronic instrumentation was yet to pick up in India,  every sourcing was regulated by the Department of Electronics at Delhi. To follow &abide that control,MOP&G formed a task force.
