Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited
Process licensors studied the operating plant for intended revamp based on the guidelines suggested by CFCL: Base case evaluation. Pinpoint bottlenecks in present operation. Proven revamp features selection and suggest modification with minimum changes and minimum investment to achieve both increase in capacity and reduction in energy consumption. Provide specifications and consumption of Raw material & auxiliary chemicals, Utilities Cost estimates for critical components and services Details of effluent & emission generation at expansion capacities and treatment scheme Recommend project implementation roadmap

Scope of study
Path forward
Basic Engineering Design (BED) for revamps was completed by the respective process licensors. licensors. Detailed Engineering and procurement assistance for both plants was carried out by Projects & development India Limited (PDIL). (PDIL). Project Management and procurement of all equipment, machinery & bulk items were managed internally and assisted by Detail engineering contractor. contractor.

Installation of KRES
GadepanGadepan-II with Naphtha feed from 1999 was having surplus CO2 as free export to GadepanGadepan-I . On switching over from Naphtha to Gas , CO2 shortfall was inevitable in GadepanGadepan-I InIn-order to meet CO2 demand, CDR was not found viable. . viable Option of Surplus Synthesis Gas burning Constrained by Reformer capacity. capacity. Higher stack temperature and heat losses. losses. Reformed gas Boiler and Steam Drum inadequacy at higher loads. loads.
Chambal Fertilisers and Chemicals Limited
Installation of KRES
Conventional revamp option considerations : Higher front end pressure drop Higher reformed gas boiler heat duty and steam generation. Not economically viable due to major replacement and higher capital requirement. o Replacement of reformed gas boiler and steam drum. o Additional Booster Compressor for Synthesis Gas Compressor along with Synthesis Compressor & driver turbine retrofitting.

Installation of KRES
Benefits : KRES & ATR installation Reduction in Reformer heat duty with respect to existing design. Reduction in front end pressure drop due to KRES parallel to Primary Reformer RG boiler & steam drum replacement avoided due to reduced heat duty. ID / FD fans require no change. Reduced downtime for implementation. o PrePre-shutdown installation of ATR and KRES with closed coupled design Economic use of existing transfer line to minimize investment / downtime.

Installation of KRES
Associated modifications required:
New transfer line from KRES to RG Boiler. Modification of Existing transfer line (cold collector) from Primary to ATR. Installations of new KRES mixed feed preheat coil along with auxiliary burner in the flue gas exit duct of Steam Super Heater.

Furnace DeDe-bottlenecking
Reasons : To increase the overall furnace efficiency from 90% to 93% by reducing the flue gas outlet temperature from 173 173C to 122 122C. Reduce backback-pressure on Air compressor Reduce NG battery limit pressure requirement to meet additional pressure drop in system.
Modifications : Two additional natural gas coils ( Feed & Fuel) will be installed at the downstream of Combustion Air PrePre-heater and replace existing castable modular type CAP by high efficiency plate type heater. ReRe-passing of existing Natural gas feed coil and Process air coil.

GadepanGadepan-II Revamp
Major identified bottlenecks in Front-end during feasibility study
Higher pressure drop in feed stock Pre-heater (Fired Pre-heater) Higher Front End pressure drop CO2 Removal section Absorber capacity Lower heat recovery in Shift Conversion and Syn loop
GadepanGadepan-II Revamp
Mitigation Plans (implemented in March 2007 Turn Around)
Desulfuriser Pre-heater repassing from 4 pass to 8 pass. Operation of LTS guard and LTS main reactors in parallel to reduce pressure drop in front end. Long term plan for change to aMDEA process for CO2 removal.

GadepanGadepan-II Revamp
Mitigation Plans (Contd)
Implementation constrained by long delivery schedules of rotating machinery / pumps. Evaluated alternative partial debottlenecking option by activator change from DEA to ACT-I from same Process Licensor to get 10% capacity increase. Benefit 10% capacity gain envisaged. Option of online change over exercised to avoid two time solution change.
GadepanGadepan-II Revamp
Mitigation Plans (Contd) This required minimum 12~18 months for slow replacement to avoid rapid DEA degradation. Change over initiated in Jan 2007. Rapid degradation could be minimized but could not be eliminated. Excessive foaming observed due to degradation products Immediate counter measures taken in consultation with Licensors To augment side stream mechanical filtration capacity from original 5% to 10% Change of anti-foaming agent to Silicon base anti-foaming agent. Change over almost complete and foreseen capacity Increase established during last one year.

CHALLENGES
1. Selection of absolute reliable and proven features for revamp. 2. Equipment & machinery costs increased drastically during 20062006-07, Chambal decided to split the revamp project in stages. 3. Limited suppliers of High pressure alloy steel pipings 4. Selection of experienced Construction Contractor for revamps 5. ODC movement to Chambal site 1. Rail transportation not feasible because of larger diameters of vessels. 2. Road transportation only one route available due to extra ordinarily large weight and length of the new equipments.
