Pumping of salt water with different densities

APPLICATION:
The customer had been using imported sump pump to pump the salt water with specific gravity of 1.25 at ambient temperatures. When these
pumps were not in operation for eight hours or more, the salt water would crystallize, thus leading to deposits on the pump surface. These
crystallites could not be washed or removed from the pump surface when the pumps were restarted. Hence, the pumps had to be opened up
for washing. The only way to remove the deposits was by using pumps with high pressure clean water (5kg/sq cm). To restore them, the
customer had to remove the pumps from installation site and take them to a location 2 km away from the pump house, where low-density
clean water was available. Due to the unavailability of adequate clean water, the process of removing the pumps and cleaning them with fresh
water used to take 2 to 3 days. This not only halted the operation but also resulted in wastage of time and money.

SOLUTION:
Considering the property of the salt water, KBL recommended end suction pumps with mixed flow impeller design with anti-corrocoat on the
impeller and a casing with Fluidglide coating. This would provide the benefits of improved efficiency and better life of coated pump
components. The material of the casing and the impeller was recommended as 2% NICI & CF8M respectively with Fluidglide coating. This
helps in reducing the maintenance time since no dismantling /transportation of pump is required for cleaning purpose. The MOC (Material
of Construction) suggested was 2.5% NICI casing with CF8M internal and corrocoating.

Pump with defined metallurgical composition for spent wash application

APPLICATION:
The spent wash solution in various Process industries is critical in nature. Due to this, it is difficult to achieve the desired MOC (Material of
Construction) of the pump with the defined metal composition for process suitability.

SOLUTION:
The latest technology and the in-house foundry capabilities allow KBL to create benchmarks in offering special application process pumps
with precise metallurgical composition which suits all kinds of special & customize requirement of various customer which includes MOC -
R55 , Super Duplex, CN7Mn, Hastalloy C , Cd4MCu etc. For instance – For Spent wash application, KBL successfully maintained the
metallurgical composition within the specified range and supplied pumps with requested parameter for one of its premium customers as
below.

Remote condition monitoring - Intelligent pumping solutions

The condition monitoring enables a person to view and process parameters via internet. The key features offered by the remote condition
monitoring of pumpsets are:

n Monitoring of operational behaviour of the pump or pumping system

n Monitoring and analysis of faults
n Suggestions for tentative actions to be taken in case of faults
n SMS alerts and e-mails in case of faults with daily reports through e-mails for record and analysis

The condition monitoring system is very useful where pumps or pumping systems are catering to critical processes or applications. This is
done by capturing data from pressure transmitter, flow meter, vibration sensors, bearing and winding temperatures and energy meters.

Web based monitoring can be carried out for the following parameters:
n Flow
n Pressures
n Vibration
n Bearing temperature
n Voltage
n Current
n Energy consumption
n Winding temperature

Benefits of the system

n Monitoring is possible at anytime by anyone and anywhere
n Alerts by SMS and e-mails can trigger early attention and
rectification and results in lesser down time
n Weekly reports enable the user and KBL to analyse the overall
health of the pumpsets and preventive maintenance can be
planned accordingly
n Planning of spares requirement is possible based on these
parameters
n Knowing the trends for fluids and energy consumption
n Onetime investment reduces operational costs
n Provides immediate knowledge of system performance
n Increase equipment life and reduce cost of repairs
n Improved process and plant reliability
n Reduces man-hours (labour costs) required for troubleshooting
n Web based user configurable dashboard for live and trend data
n Integration with existing PLC and automation system
 Energy Audit
An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a building, process or system to reduce
the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting output(s). Industrial energy audits monitor consumption and
locate the source(s) of wastage so they can be plugged. Even as industry today thirsts for more and more energy there is need to use it less
and less as it brings with it increasing cost of the product as well as pollution; and curtailing both can have a make or break impact on
any organization.

KBL's Audit Approach

Kirloskar Brothers Limited has set up an energy conservation cell wherein our team of certified energy managers and auditors undertake
which evaluates actual performance measurement of pumps and motors. The results are compared against the designed performance
level or the industry best practice. The difference between observed performance and "best practice" is the potential for energy and cost
savings. Specifically, the audit helps to :

n Identify actions for improving energy performance

n Priorities projects
n Track progress

Recommendation for suitable pumps, motors and improvement in the pump piping layout are suggested based on the findings. Energy
audit also helps decide on how to budget energy use, plan and practice feasible energy conservation methods that will enhance their
energy efficiency, minimize energy wastage and thereby reduce energy costs.
