CONDITION MONITORING (CM) & RESIDUAL LIFE ASSESSMENT (RLA) OF INDUSTRIAL PLANTS

The crucial concern of power/process plant managements, the world over, is the cost of reliable operation of plants. Setting up of new plants is prohibitively expensive due to stringent environmental and safety concerns, uncertainties of financial return and extended lead times for new plants. The factors cited above have driven the managements to undertake technical assessment of their plant and equipment to prolong their operation. Operation of plants and equipment till the end of their useful, rather than design life, is the ‘Mantra’ being adopted.

Condition Monitoring and Residual Life Assessment are the modern scientific tools which provide accurate condition of Power / Process plant equipment and components.

ENERGY CONSERVATION / AUDIT

Electrical and Thermal Energy Conservation assumes great importance in the context of depleting fossil fuel energy resources, growing Industrial, Agricultural and Domestic demands, losses in Transmission and Distribution Systems and huge financial investments and time factor in building generating facilities. It is estimated that upto 30% of Energy Consumed in productive sectors such as Industry, Agriculture, Power, Transportation etc., can be saved by adopting better equipment maintenance, operational practices and adoption of new energy efficient technologies with very little investments.

CAPABILITIES

With the above background, ERDA set up the Energy Management Section and started providing Energy Audit Services in the Electrical and Thermal areas. Our services have been availed by a large number of Industries in sectors such as power generation (Thermal, Hydro and Nuclear Plants), Iron & Steel, Fertilizers, Chemicals, Petrochemicals, Food Processing Industries etc. Besides these, Municipal Corporations and large Hospitals are also availing our services. ERDA has completed over two hundred thirty Energy Audit assignments to date and the savings in Energy Costs experienced by our clients are of considerable value. ERDA’s strength lies in its multidisciplinary nature, as we have specialists and facilities to meet the clients needs.

AWARDS

ERDA has won ‘Best Improvement in Performance’ and ‘Best Energy Auditor’ Awards of Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) continuously in a row for three years. ERDA has also won awards from Maharashtra Energy Development Agency (MEDA) for two consecutive years.

This pollution may degrade the performance of electronic and electrical equipments. Therefore it is necessary that all electronic equipments or systems must be constructed so as to ensure that any electromagnetic disturbance it generates allows radio and telecommunication equipment and other apparatus to operate as intended, further equipment must be constructed with an inherent level of immunity to externally generated electromagnetic disturbances. Testing & evaluation has thus become necessary to ensure that the products work satisfactorily in the present day electromagnetic environment. It is essential that each equipment or system design meets the compatibility levels specified in the National / International Standards.
