JMD DTA Contd.
Whatever prescribed in previous session regarding the blending tank was feasible only if the refinery processing capacity are of the order 3MMT/Annum or so ,whereas in JMD , the refining capacity was of the order of 15 MMTPA right at the start in DTA days which runs at 33 MMTPA now.
With introduction of second refinery under SEZ, the processing capacity has gone to 62 MMTPA!
That forced Reliance to think of novel method. As Reliance has got strong R&D team to back up operations, they have developed a rugged In-Line blending system with redundant provisions.
Using the process of ratio control and Coriolis method of density and flow measurement , a fool proof recipe have been developed by in-house and that system is in vogue for the last 15 years or so.
So that has eliminated the necessity of crude blending tank
Finalization and implementation of Cryogenic double walled tank and system for Propylene/LPG at MTF:
This is a drama by itself!To start with, after successful implementation of Hazira system for Ethylene, it was pre-decided that we will go with LGA/L&T combination for this order execution. But for techno economic consideration , there was a bid from LGE/PUNJ Lloyd also.. Mr Shivendra Kumar Of Punj Lloyd used to camp at Novotel Hotel and Mr Dimert used to represent LGA and staying in the same hotel. As we all knew each other, we used to fool around saying why Shivendra is still continuing in London when it is apparently clear that their bid is not going to be considered at all. But he used to repeatedly say that still he has got hope. Even now I am not clear what premonition made him to think so!
On one fine day, there was a message to PMSP that this order should not go to L&T ( some back ground political reasons) and may consider LGA alone. As LGA was not keen to take the order individually(as they had internal management take over trouble), PMSP assigned me the task of brokerage between LGA and Punj Lloyd and arrange the marriage between them. As Shivendra had the premonition, he was ready to take that offer; Dimert asked for time to talk to his HO and revert.
Then he has organised Visa for Shivendra Kumar to fly to Koln and the deal was struck favorably.
LGA appointed Mr Popmahl as their PM and Peter as his assistant..
The funniest thing was that by the time the Kick off meeting took place, LGA was taken over by a London firm - Whessoe and the PM changed.
That was the beginning for Punj Lloyd to get into tank construction and they posted Mr Garg as their PM. Utilizing that reference and experience, Punj Lloyd executed Dabhol cryogenic tanks for power plant and Dimert migrated to Houston to work for Dabhol Power.
Only Mr Peter was the constant pivot in completing that project and from Reliance side Mr SM Pathak project managed effectively.
Here It is necessary to touch about the refrigeration compressor package capacity. for that propylene cryogenic double walled tank. As per theoretical calculation it worked out to be 110 MT/Hr rating but PMSP wanted to limit to 65 MT/Hr only. There was a meeting attended by PMSP, me, DM and P Sankaran which went on until 1AM at Bechtel office. There were bitter argument and without understanding the implication PS was vouching to agree for 65MT/Hr itself. At the end, PMSP used his veto power stating that he has no provision of budget to go beyond 65MT/Hr. . But the beauty is that , before start-up PMSP with the assistance of BN brought a mini compressor knocked from Hazira and reequipped the capacity shortfall. It is necessary to note that he had the courtesy to keep me informed of that.
