CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Student and graduate internships are very important, because they substantially
increase the chance of graduates finding employment. To an employer, a candidate who has
spent time working for a firm within a particular industry shows dedication to a particular
career, enthusiasm for a particular job and importantly, has experience.
Internships are also very useful to interns themselves as they offer the chance to find
out what working for a particular company, or within a certain industry, is really like.
Internships also allow interns to make contacts with managers and recruiters, which
can later be used to negotiate full-time employment.
2. Getting an Internship
It is not unusual for graduates to return to the organization who hired them as an
intern, for full-time employment. Graduate recruitment surveys have found that
almost half of all employers convert at least a fifth of their interns into
permanent staff members.
LIMITATION OF STUDY
There were some limitations in conducting the organization study at Nutro vessels indo
groups Ltd. Those are following
There were difficulties in obtaining data from executives and managers due to their
busy work schedule.
An in-depth study of the company could not be carried out due to shortage of time.
The reliability of data used for study is largely depends upon the companies reports
and the information given by executives.
The company has the limitation to disclose their financial details, so a detailed
analysis of financial performance of the company is not possible.
CHAPTER II
COMPANY PROFILE
In 2002. Nutro vessels indo groups Ltd broke ground for a new factory just south of
Los Angeles in an area where orange groves once stood. Just down the street was Downeys
North American Rockwell plant that built many of the Apollo spacecraft and another
company that made Apollo Motor Homes.
In 2006, Nutro vessels indo groups Ltd opened a second plant in Puerto Rico to better
serve East Coast customers. A few years later, the finished interstate highway system made
this plant obsolete and it closed.
Much has changed since then. The Apollo factory closed and became a movie studio. The
motor home facility now makes trolley tourist buses. One thing that hasn't changed is that
Nutro vessels indo groups Ltd is still making boilers in Southern California. The reasons for
that can be found in these beliefs that shape our family owned business:
From our dependable steam and water boilers to our high efficiency Dura fins, Nutro
vessels indo groups Ltd has boilers for almost every application and budget. Our dedicated
representatives throughout the United States and Canada offer strong local support while our

In many cases, manufacturing facilities provide Boilers are pressure vessels designed
to heat water or produce boiler steam , which can then be used to provide space heating
and/or service water heating to a building. In most commercial building heating applications,
the heating source in the boiler is a natural gas fired burner. Oil fired burners and electric
resistance heaters can be used as well. Boiler steam is preferred over hot water in some
applications, including absorption cooling, kitchens, laundries, sterilizers, and boiler steam
driven equipment.
Boilers have several strengths that have made them a common feature of buildings.
They have a long life, can achieve efficiencies up to 95% or greater, provide an effective
method of heating a building, and in the case of boiler steam systems, require little or no
pumping energy. However, fuel costs can be considerable, regular maintenance is required,
and if maintenance is delayed, repair can be costly.

Boilers are often one of the largest energy users in a building. For every year a
boiler system goes unattended, boiler costs can increase approximately 10% (1).
Boiler operation and maintenance is therefore a good place to start when looking for
ways to reduce energy use and save money.
MATERIALS FOR BOILER INDUSTRY:
The pressure vessel of a boiler is usually made of steel (or alloy steel), or historically
of wrought iron. Stainless steel, especially of the austenitic types, is not used in wetted parts
of boilers due to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. However Nutro vessels stainless
steel is often used in super heater sections that will not be exposed to boiling water, and
electrically-heated stainless steel shell boilers are allowed under the European "Pressure
Equipment Directive" for production of boiler steam for sterilizers and disinfectors.
In live boiler steam models, copper or brass is often used because it is more easily
fabricated in smaller size boilers. Historically, copper was often used for fireboxes
(particularly forboiler steam locomotives), because of its better formability and higher
thermal conductivity; however, in more recent times, the high price of copper often makes
this an uneconomic choice and cheaper substitutes (such as steel) are used instead.
For much of the Victorian "age of boiler steam ", the only material used for boiler
making was the highest grade of wrought iron, with assembly by riveting. This iron was often
obtained from specialist ironworks, such as at Creator Moor , noted for the high quality of
their rolled plate and its suitability for high-reliability use in critical applications, such as
high-pressure boilers.
In the 20th century, design practice instead moved towards the use of steel, which is
stronger and cheaper, with welded construction, which is quicker and requires less labour. It
should be noted, however, that wrought iron boilers corrode far slower than their modern-day
steel counterparts, and are less susceptible to localized pitting and stress-corrosion. This
makes the longevity of older wrought-iron boilers far superior to those of welded steel
boilers.
Cast iron may be used for the heating vessel of domestic water heaters. Although such heaters
are usually termed "boilers" in some countries, their purpose is usually to produce hot water,
not boiler steam , and so they run at low pressure and try to avoid actual boiling. The
brittleness of cast iron makes it impractical for high-pressure boiler steam boilers.
CONFIGURATIONS OF BOILER:
Boilers are classified into different types based on their working pressure and
temperature, fuel type, draft method, size and capacity, and whether they condense the water
vapor in the combustion gases. Boilers are also sometimes described by their key
components, such as heat exchanger materials or tube design. These other characteristics are
discussed in the following section on Key Components of Boilers.
In a Fire tube boiler, hot gases of combustion flow through a series of tubes surrounded
by water. Alternatively, in a Water tube boiler, water flows in the inside of the tubes and the
hot gases from combustion flow around the outside of the tubes. A drawing of a water tube
boiler is shown in Figure
Fire tube boilers are more commonly available for low pressure boiler steam or hot
water applications, and are available in sizes ranging from 500,000 to 75,000,000 BTU input.
Water tube boilers are primarily used in higher pressure boiler steam applications and are
used extensively for comfort heating applications. They typically range in size from 500,000
to more than 20,000,000 BTU input.
Cast iron sectional boilers are another type of boiler commonly used in commercial
space heating applications. These types of boilers dont use tubes. Instead, theyre built up
from cast iron sections that have water and combustion gas passages. The iron castings are
bolted together, similar to an old boiler steam radiator. The sections are sealed together by
gaskets. Theyre available for producing boiler steam or hot water, and are available in sizes
ranging from 35,000 to 14,000,000 BTU input.
Cast iron sectional boilers are advantageous because they can be assembled on site,
allowing them to be transported through doors and smaller openings. Their main
disadvantage is that because the sections are sealed together with gaskets, they are prone to
leakage as the gaskets age and are attacked by boiler treatment chemicals.
Water-tube boiler:
In this type, tubes filled with water are arranged inside a furnace in a number of
possible configurations. Often the water tubes connect large drums, the lower ones containing
water and the upper ones boiler steam and water; in other cases, such as a mono-tube boiler,
water is circulated by a pump through a succession of coils.
This type generally gives high boiler steam production rates, but less storage
capacity than the above. Water tube boilers can be designed to exploit any heat source and
are generally preferred in high-pressure applications since the high-pressure water/boiler
steam is contained within small diameter pipes which can withstand the pressure with a
thinner wall.
THE USE OF BOILER SYSTEMS IN PRACTICE
Industrial hot water boiler systems for generating thermal heat are very
similar to the household heating boilers in our cellars. The main difference is that industrial
boilers are dimensioned significantly larger, so their heating capacity is not only sufficient for
a family home but also for hotels, hospitals, skyscrapers, industrial buildings or entire
districts. When using process heat generated by boiler steam boiler systems the individual
applications are far more versatile. They are used in many industry sectors. But is all this just
hot air or what exactly is the boiler steam used for Let us choose a few industrial sectors and
have a closer look at them.
Therefore, if you could capture all the energy released when a 30 gallon home hot
water tank flashes into explosive failure at 332o F, you would have enough force to send the
average car to a height of nearly 125 feet. This is equivalent to more than the height of a 14
story apartment building, starting with a lift off velocity of 85 miles per hour.
Boiler safety is a key objective of the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Inspectors. This organization reports and tracks boiler safety and the number of incidents
related to boilers and pressure vessels each year.
Their work has found that the number one incident category resulting in injury was
poor maintenance and operator error. This stresses the importance of proper maintenance and
operator training. Boilers must be inspected regularly based on manufacturers
recommendations. Pressure vessel integrity, checking of safety relief valves, water cutoff
devices and proper float operation, gauges and water level indicators should all be inspected.
EFFICIENCY
The percentage of the heat energy contained in the fuel that is captured by the
working fluid in the boiler is defined as the combustion efficiency of the boiler. Combustion
efficiencies of 80% or higher are usually possible for hot water boilers and low pressure
boiler steam boilers for commercial buildings.
Complete combustion results when a hydrocarbon fuel such as natural gas or oil burns
and produces only carbon dioxide, water and heat. If there is insufficient oxygen and/or poor
mixing of fuel and oxygen, then incomplete combustion will occur resulting in other products
of combustion including carbon monoxide and unburned fuel.
When incomplete combustion occurs, the chemical energy of the fuel is not
completely released as heat and the combustion efficiency is reduced. This is also a safety
concern as unburned fuel could ignite in the stack and cause an explosion. Boilers must be
tuned to achieve complete combustion. One strategy to ensure complete combustion is to
provide some amount of excess air. However, as shown in the figure below, a small amount
of excess air will improve combustion efficiency, but a large amount will reduce efficiency.
To ensure that complete combustion occurs, extra air is introduced at the burner. But
too much will result in air being wastefully heated and exhausted out of the boiler flue,
penalizing combustion efficiency, and creating a safety issue. When a boiler is tuned, the goal
is to maximize combustion efficiency by providing just enough excess air to assure complete
combustion but not too much to reduce efficiency.
How much excess air is enough to assure complete combustion? That varies with the
design and condition of the burner and boiler, as well as with the different firing rates of the
burner, but is typically considered to be between 2% - 3%. Excess air must also be adjusted
to allow for variations in temperature, density, and humidity of the boiler combustion air
throughout any daily and seasonal variations. Its desirable to maintain a constant amount of
excess air across the entire firing range.
Most boilers produce boiler steam to be used at saturation temperature; that is,
saturated boiler steam . Superheated boiler steam boilers vaporize the water and then further
heat the boiler steam in a super heater.
This provides boiler steam at much higher temperature, but can decrease the overall
thermal efficiency of the boiler steam generating plant because the higher boiler steam
temperature requires a higher flue gas exhaust temperature. There are several ways to
circumvent this problem, typically by providing an economizer that heats the feed water, a
combustion air heater in the hot flue gas exhaust path, or both.
There are advantages to superheated boiler steam that may, and often will, increase
overall efficiency of both boiler steam generation and its utilization: gains in input
temperature to a turbine should outweigh any cost in additional boiler complication and
expense. There may also be practical limitations in using wet boiler steam , as entrained
condensation droplets will damage turbine blades.
Superheated boiler steam presents unique safety concerns because, if any system component
fails and allows boiler steam to escape, the high pressure and temperature can cause serious,
instantaneous harm to anyone in its path. Since the escaping boiler steam will initially be
completely superheated vapor, detection can be difficult, although the intense heat and sound
from such a leak clearly indicates its presence.
