catalytic cracking because it produces more gasoline with a higher octane rating. It
also produces byproduct gases that are more olefinic, and hence more valuable, than
those produced by thermal cracking.
The feedstock to an FCC is usually that portion of the crude oil that has an initial
boiling point of 340 C or higher at atmospheric pressure and an average molecular
weight ranging from about 200 to 600 or higher. This portion of crude oil is often
referred to as heavy gas oil. The FCC process vaporizes and breaks the long-chain
molecules of the high-boiling hydrocarbon liquids into much shorter molecules by
contacting the feedstock, at high temperature and moderate pressure, with a fluidized
powdered catalyst.
In effect, refineries use fluid catalytic cracking to correct the imbalance between the
market demand for gasoline and the excess of heavy, high boiling range products
resulting from the distillation of crude oil.

MAINTENANCE
This department focuses on maintaining all mechanical equipments in the plant in
healthy condition to ensure their continuous availability and to minimize the
breakdown time during the production process.
The function of this department is:
1. Planning, Scheduling, Predictive and Preventive Maintenance of all rotary
equipments.
2. To carry out all mechanical jobs affecting the production process.
3. Planning and Scheduling of all type of shutdowns.
4. To ensure availability of spare of mechanical maintenance jobs.
5. To maintain all heavy equipments
The function of the rotary cell is to maintain and monitor all rotary equipments of
the plant. It also includes repairs and replacements of parts or equipments. There
are many predictive maintenance technologies. They include Vibration Analysis,
Ultrasound, and Oil Analysis; Wear Particle Analysis and thermograph.
2.1 Maintenance
Maintenance, repair and operations involve fixing any sort of mechanical or
electrical device should it become out of order or broken. It also includes performing
routine actions, which keep the device in working order.
2.1.1 Main Types of Maintenance: Corrective Maintenance:The equipments are maintained after break downs. This maintenance is often most
expensive because worn equipments can damage other parts and cause multiple
damage. But this is economical where the parts are cheap and are in bulk, so that this
maintenance is easier.
13
Preventive Maintenance:Where equipment is maintained before break down occurs. This type of maintenance
has many different variations and is subject of various researchers to determine best
and most efficient way to maintain equipment. Predictive maintenance allows plant
management to control the machinery and maintenance programs rather than vice
versa. In a plant using predictive maintenance, the overall machinery condition at
any time is known and much more accurate planning is possible.
Periodic Predictive Maintenance:From run to failure, we progress to periodic preventive maintenance, which is
sometimes called historical maintenance. This is where the histories of each machine
type are analysed and periodic overhauls are scheduled to occur before the statically
expected problems occur. Preventive maintenance includes such activities as
changing lube oil and filters, periodic cleaning and inspection, etc.
In a famous study of preventive maintenance by United and American Airlines, it
was found that for a large class of rotating machines, the failure rate greatly increased
just after the periodic overhauls. In other words, the overhaul reduced the reliability
of the machines.
Planned Preventive Maintenance:Planned preventive maintenance or Planned Maintenance is any variety of scheduled
maintenance to an object or item of equipment. Specially, Planned Maintenance is a
schedule service visit carried out by a competent and suitable agent, to ensure that
an item of equipment is operating correctly and to therefore avoid any unscheduled
breakdown and downtime.
Proactive Maintenance: 14
The latest innovation in the field of predictive maintenance is also called pro-active
maintenance, which uses a variety of technologies to extend the operating lives of
machines and to virtually eliminate reactive maintenance. The major part of a proactive programme is root cause failure analysis, which is the determination of the
mechanisms and causes of machine faults. The fundamental causes of machine
failures can thus be corrected, and failure mechanisms can be gradually engineered
out of each machinery installation.
It has been known for a long time that imbalance and misalignment are the root
causes of the majority of machines faults. Both of these conditions place undue
forces on bearings, shortening their service life. Rather than continually replacing
worn bearings in an offending machine, a far better policy is to perform precision
balance and alignment on the machine, and then to verify the results by careful
vibration signature analysis.
2.2 Total Productive Maintenance (TPM):TPM system is one of the new concepts in todays competitive scenario for
optimization of cost and increasing productivity. Gujarat refinery had launched
this new system in Nov2003.

OPERATION MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING OF
CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS
4.1 PUMPS
Pumps are one of the many critical pieces of equipment inside a refinery. Theyre
required to transfer fluid from one location to another, and you cant do much
without them.
There are various types of pump used in a refinery these are:
Centrifugal Pump: Centrifugal pumps are typically the most common
type of pumps found in a refinery. Any pumps with one or more impellers
Axial Flow Pump: Axial flow pumps are also sometimes called
propeller pumps. This type of pump is typically chosen to achieve
very high flow rate with very low head pressure.
19
20
This head can also be calculated from the readings on the pressure gauges
attached to the suction and discharge lines. Pump curves relate flow rate and
pressure (head) developed by the pump at different impeller sizes and
rotational speeds. The centrifugal pump operation should conform to the
pump curves supplied by the manufacturer.
One fact that must always be remembered: A pump does not create
pressure, it only provides flow. Pressure is a just an indication of the amount
of resistance to flow.

or radially split casing. Wear rings act as the seal between the casing and
the impeller.
Suction and Discharge Nozzle
The suction and discharge nozzles are part of the casings itself. They
commonly have the following configurations.
1. End suction/Top discharge - The suction nozzle is located at the end of,
and concentric to, the shaft while the discharge nozzle is located at the
top of the case perpendicular to the shaft. This pump is always of an
overhung type and typically has lower NPSHr because the liquid feeds
directly into the impeller eye.
2. Top suction Top discharge nozzle-The suction and discharge nozzles
are located at the top of the case perpendicular to the shaft. This pump
can either be an overhung type or between-bearing type but is always a
radially split case pump.
26
27
o
Gland: The gland is a very important part of the seal chamber
or the stuffing box. It gives the packing or the mechanical seal the
desired fit on the shaft sleeve. It can be easily adjusted in axial direction.
The gland comprises of the seal flush, quench, cooling, drain, and vent
connection ports as per the standard codes like API 682.
o
Throat Bushing: The bottom or inside end of the chamber is
provided with a stationary device called throat bushing that forms a
restrictive close clearance around the sleeve (or shaft) between the seal
and the impeller.
o
Throttle bushing: refers to a device that forms a restrictive close
clearance around the sleeve (or shaft) at the outboard end of a
mechanical seal gland.
o
Internal circulating device : refers to device located in the
seal chamber to circulate seal chamber fluid through a cooler
or barrier/buffer fluid reservoir. Usually it is referred to as a pumping
ring.
o
Mechanical Seal: The features of a mechanical seal will be
discussed later.
Bearing housing
The bearing housing encloses the bearings mounted on the shaft. The
bearings keep the shaft or rotor in correct alignment with the stationary
parts under the action of radial and transverse loads. The bearing house
also includes an oil reservoir for lubrication, constant level oiler, jacket
for cooling by circulating cooling water.
28
Rotating Components
1. Impeller
The impeller is the main rotating part that provides the centrifugal
acceleration to the fluid. They are often classified in many ways.
o Based on major direction of flow in reference to the axis of
rotation
xial flow
Mixed flow
o Based on suction type
Single-suction: Liquid inlet on one side.
Double-suction: Liquid inlet to the impeller symmetrically
from both sides.
o Based on mechanical construction (Fig ure B.07)
Closed: Shrouds or sidewall enclosing the vanes.
Open: No shrouds or wall to enclose the vanes.
Semi-open or vortex type.

supporting the impeller and other rotating parts. It must do this job with
a deflection less than the minimum clearance between the rotating and
stationary parts.
Shaft Sleeve : Pump shafts are usually protected from erosion,
corrosion, and wear at the seal chambers, leakage joints, internal
bearings, and in the waterways by renewable sleeves. Unless otherwise
specified, a shaft sleeve of wear, corrosion, and erosion- resistant
material shall be provided to protect the shaft. The sleeve shall be sealed
at one end. The shaft sleeve assembly shall extend beyond the outer
face of the seal gland plate. (Leakage between the shaft and the sleeve
should not be confused with leakage through the mechanical seal).
31
Auxiliary Components
Auxiliary components generally include the following piping systems
for
the following services:
o Seal flushing , cooling , quenching systems
o Seal drains and vents
o Bearing lubrication , cooling systems
o Seal chamber or stuffing box cooling, heating systems
o Pump pedestal cooling systems
Auxiliary piping systems include tubing, piping, isolating valves, control
valves, relief valves, temperature gauges and thermocouples, pressure gauges,
sight flow indicators, orifices, seal flush coolers, dual seal barrier/buffer fluid
reservoirs, and all related vents and drains. All auxiliary components shall
comply with the requirements as per standard codes like API 610 (refinery
services), API 682 (shaft sealing systems) etc.
4.3 Understanding Centrifugal Pump Performance Curves
The capacity and pressure needs of any system can be defined with the help
of a graph called a system curve. Similarly the capacity vs. pressure variation graph
for a particular pump defines its characteristic pump performance curve.
32
piping systems are composed of pipe friction losses, valves, elbows and
other fittings, entrance and exit losses, and losses from changes in pipe
size by enlargement or reduction in diameter.
Developing a Pump performance Curve
A pump's performance is shown in its characteristics performance curve
where its capacity i.e. flow rate is plotted against its developed head. The
pump performance curve also shows its efficiency (BEP), required input
power (in BHP), NPSHr, speed (in RPM), and other information such as pump
size and type, impeller size, etc. This curve is plotted for a constant speed
(rpm) and a given impeller diameter (or series of diameters). It is generated
by tests performed by the pump manufacturer. Pump curves are based on a
specific gravity of 1.0. Other specific gravities must be considered by the
user.
Normal Operating Range
A typical performance curve is a plot of Total Head vs. Flow rate for a specific
impeller diameter. The plot starts at zero flow. The head at this point
corresponds to the shut-off head point of the pump. The curve then decreases
to a point where the flow is maximum and the head minimum. This point is
sometimes called the run-out point. The pump curve is relatively flat and the
head decreases gradually as the flow increases. This pattern is common for
radial flow pumps. Beyond the run-out point, the pump cannot operate. The
pump's range of operation is from the shut-off head point to the run-out point.
Trying to run a pump off the right end of the curve will result in pump
cavitation and eventually destroy the pump.
In a nutshell, by plotting the system head curve and pump curve together, you
can determine:
1. Where the pump will operate on its curve?
2. What changes will occur if the system head curve or the pump performance
curve changes?
34
The consequences of prolonged conditions of cavitation and low flow operation can
be disastrous for both the pump and the process. Such failures in hydrocarbon
services have often caused damaging fires resulting in loss of machine, production,
and worst of all, human life.
35
Thus, such situations must be avoided at all cost whether involving modifications in
the pump and its piping or altering the operating conditions. Proper selection and
sizing of pump and its associated piping can not only eliminate the chances of
cavitation and low flow operation but also significantly decrease their harmful
effects.

perpendicular to the valves , and flow is blocked. The handle position lets you see
the valve position.
Ball valves are durable and usually work to achieve perfect shut off even after years
of disuse. They are therefore perfect chice for shutoff applications.
Applications in Refinery
They are used in steam, water, oil, gas, air, corrosive fluids, and can also handle
slurries and dusty dry fluids. Abrasive and fibrous materials can damage the seats
and the ball surface.
Limitations
The seat material resistance of the ball valve limits the working temperature
and pressure of the valve. The seat is plastic or metal made.
Ball valves are mostly used in shutoff applications. They are not
recommended to be used in a partially open position for a long time under conditions
of a high pressure drop across the valve, thus the soft seat could tend to flow through
the orifice and block the valve movement.
40
Advantages
This is a quick operation. Few wear of the shaft, little friction and then
less torque needed means a cheaper actuator. The actuator can be manual, oleo
hydraulic or electrical motorized, with automation available.
41
42
43
Fig 5.5
A Globe valve may be constructed with a single or double port and plug
arrangement. The double port type is generally used in a CONTROL VALVE where
accurate control of fluid is required. Due to the double valve plug arrangement, the
internal pressure acts on each plug in opposition to each other, giving an internal
pressure balance across the plugs.
44
Advantages
This gives a much smoother operation of the valve and better control
of the process. Some control valves are 'Reverse Acting'. Where a valve
normally opens when the plug rises, in the reverse acting valve, the
valve closes on rising. The operation of the valve depends on process
requirements. Also depending on requirements, a control valve may be
set to open or close, on air failure to the diaphragm.
The Globe valve is used where control of fluid flow or pressure is
required and it can be operated in any position between open and
closed.

open and a portion of the fluid is diverted through the auxiliary route. The diverted
fluid (liquid, gas or liquidgas mixture) is usually routed through a piping system
known as a flare header or relief header to a central, elevated flare where it is usually
burned and the resulting combustion gases are released to the atmosphere.
It should be noted that PRVs and PSVs are not the same thing, despite what many
people think; the difference is that PSVs have a manual lever to open the valve in
case of emergency.
TEMPERATURE SAFETY VALVE:
Water heaters have thermostatically controlled devices that keep them from
overheating. Both gas and electric water heaters have temperature-limiting devices
that shut off the energy source when their regular thermostat fails
48
Thermostatically controlled gas valves found on most residential gas water heaters
have a safety shutoff built into the gas valve itself. When they react to excessive
temperature, the gas flow to the burner is stopped.
Applications
Vacuum safety valves (or combined pressure/vacuum safety valves) are used
to prevent a tank from collapsing while it is being emptied, or when cold rinse
water is used after hot CIP (clean-in-place) or SIP (sterilization-in-place)
procedures.
Safety valves also evolved to protect equipment such as pressure vessels (fired
or not) and heat exchangers.
The term safety valve should be limited to compressible fluid applications
(gas, vapor, or steam).
Many fire engines have such relief valves to prevent the over pressurization
of fire hoses.

Conclusion:As an undergraduate I would like to affirm that this training program is an excellent
opportunity for us to get to the ground level and experience the things that we
would have never gained through going straight into a job. I am grateful to
MALAVIYA NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY JAIPUR and
INDIAN OIL AND CORPORATION LIMITED Barauni for giving me
this wonderful opportunity.
The main objective of the industrial training is to provide an opportunity to
undergraduates to identify, observe and practice how engineering is applicable in the
real industry. It is not only to get experience on technical practices but also to
observe management practices and to interact with fellow workers. It is easy to work
with sophisticated machines, but not with people. The only chance that an
undergraduate has to have this experience is the industrial training period. I feel I
got the maximum out of that experience. Also I learnt the way of work in an
organization, the importance of being punctual, the importance of maximum
commitment, and the importance of team spirit.
The training program spanning six weeks accustomed me with industry sized pumps,
compressors, heat exchangers, maintenance procedures for the machines and various
processing units.
Open discussions with the engineers and supervisors allowed me to get a incisive
knowledge of industrial workouts and the hands-on experience helped me gain
ample of knowledge and experience needed to be successful in a great engineering
challenge, as in my opinion, Engineering is after all a Challenge, and not a Job.
