4.1 Pump
8|Page
On the basis of fluid flow direction, these pumps are divided into the
following three categories-
• Axial Flow : The fluid enters along the axial plane, is accelerated
by the impeller and exits along the shaft (axially).
• Radial Flow : The fluid enters along the axial plane, is
accelerated by the impeller and exits at right angles to the shaft
(radially).
• Mixed Flow : Mixed-flow pumps function as a compromise
between radial and axial-flow pumps, The fluid experiences both
radial acceleration and lift and exits the impeller somewhere
between O and 90 degrees from the axial direction.

4.3 Types of Casing
1. Volute casing:-
It is a spiral type in which area of flow increase gradually. The
increase in area of flow decreases the velocity of flow. Decrease
in velocity increases pressure of water flowing through the
casing.
2. Vortex casing:-
If a circular chamber is introduced between the casing and
impeller then this is called as vortex casing. Due to introduction
of circular chamber eddy loss reduced considerably.

5. Thermal Power Station (TPS)
The Barauni Refinery has its own thermal power station for the
production of electricity. Some salient features of TPS, Barauni
Refinery are as follows :-
• TPS has Demineralisation Plants where the dissolved salt mainly
iron is removed from raw water.
• DM Plant uses two methods to remove the dissolved salt :
➢ Resin Based
➢ Membrane Based
• It has a pumping station where Fuel Oil (FO) from other units is
filtered and steam heated.
• There are total six boilers out of which four are Russian boilers,
rest of two are new boilers one of IJT company and other of
BHEL.
• It has two Russian turbo generators TG-1 AND TG-II each of
capacity 12MW and one Indian turbo generated made by BHEL
Hyderabad of capacity 12. 5 MW.
• There are four Steam turbines out of which (STG-1 and STG-2)
are Russian and other two are of BHEL.
• There are also two gas turbines (GT-1) and (GT-2), each of
capacity 20 MW.
• The circulation water is cooled in cooling tower systems,

5.1 Gas Turbines in TPS
15 | P a g e
• The fresh atmospheric air flows through the compressor that
brings it to the higher pressure.
• The energy is then added by spraying fuel into the air and igniting
it so the combustion generates a high-temperature flow.
• This high-temperature high-pressure gas enters a turbine, where
it expands down to the exhaust pressure, producing a shaft work
output in the process.
• The turbine shaft work is used to drive the compressor ; the
energy that is not used for shaft work comes out in the exhaust
gases that produce thrust.
16 | P a g e
Limitations of a gas turbine :
• The overall efficiency of the gas turbine plant is very low.
• Gas turbine rotor speed is found very high.
• Gas turbine cannot be operated reversibly.
• The weight-to-power ratio of gas turbine is low.
• Self-starting of gas turbine is not possible.

5.2 Steam Turbines in TPS
18 | P a g e
Two basic types of steam turbines are :
Impulse Turbine : The rotating blades are like deep buckets. High-
velocity jets of incoming steam from carefully shaped nozzles kick into
the blades, pushing them around with a series of impulses, and
bouncing off to the other side with a similar pressure but much-reduced
velocity. Example – Pelton turbine.

5.3 Boilers in TPS
20 | P a g e
stopping the unnecessary force from the construction of a
boiler
➢ Boiler: This is a surrounded space offered for the fuel
combustion.
➢ Feed-Test Tap: The high-force water flows via this tap,
which releases to the boiler simply and supplies the water
to the water type boiler.
➢ Steam-Stop Tap: It controls the steam flow supply at
outside.
➢ Burner: This is one type of device for the beginning of air
and fuel into a boiler at the preferred velocity. This is the
most essential apparatus for the firing of gas or oil.
21 | P a g e
The different types of water boiler are as follows :
Simple Vertical Boiler : This is one type of water tube boiler. In this
type of boiler, the axis of direction is perpendicular with respect to the
position.
Stirling Boiler : The Stirling boiler is one type of water tube boiler,
used for generating steam (50,000 kg steam/hour and 60 kgf /cm2
pressure) in the large area of the stationary plant.
Babcock and Wilcox Boilers : This is a horizontal straight water tube
boiler; it has a steam drum which is made of steel. The two ends of the
drum are associated with a series of two end headers with short riser
pipes.
22 | P a g e
The boiler operates on the principle of Rankine cycle :
The Rankine cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle of a heat
engine that converts heat into mechanical work while undergoing phase
change. The heat is supplied externally to a closed loop, which usually
uses water as the working fluid.

6. AVU & CRU
The full form of AVU is Atmospheric and Vacuum Unit. And the full
form of CRU is Catalytic Reforming Unit. Both the units are used for
the purpose of crude oil distillation.
In AVU the distillation is done with the help of atmosphere and
vacuum. Hence the name Atmospheric and Vacuum Unit. Typical
products from AVU are : Gas, LPG, naphtha, SKO (Super Kerosene
Oil), HSD (High Speed Diesel), RCO (Reduced Coke Oil) and
Heavy/Dense naphtha.
In CRU the Heavy/Dense naphtha is distilled to give high octane
gasoline and hydrogen.
The reduced coke oil from AVU and hydrogen gas from CRU are
supplied to the Coker Plant and Hydrogen Plant (respectively) present
in the refinery to utilize them effectively and efficiently for other
purposes.
The small amount of unusable/harmful product produced by the
Barauni Refinery from all the plants is supplied to the burner where it
is burned to the atmosphere thereby reducing its harmfulness.

6.5 Valves
Gate Valve : Gate valve is a sliding type of valve. In gate valves, the
closing member is a metal gate. The gate slides down to close the valve.
In fully open conditions, the flow area is equal to the area of the pipe
and hence, there is negligible pressure drop across the valve. Gate valve
should ideally be used as on-off valve. It is not advisable to use them
as throttling valves because in partly open conditions, erosion of gate
might take place. In partially open conditions, due to vibrations, valve
is exposed to quick wear and tear. Also, during closing and opening,
30 | P a g e
there is considerable amount of friction and hence, opening and closing
these vales quickly and frequently is not possible.
Plug Valve : Similar to ball valves, plug valves are also quarter turn
type of valves. This valve consists of a plug which can be either
cylindrical or conical in shape. The plug has a through slit which
remains in-line with the flow in the open condition. When the plug is
turned by 90 Deg., this slit becomes perpendicular to flow and the valve
gets closed. Plug valves are well suited to handle fluids with suspended
solids, slurries etc.
31 | P a g e
Globe Valve : Globe valve is a linear motion type of valves and is
typically used in both on-off and throttling applications. In globe
valves, the flow of the fluid through valve follows an S-path. Due to
this, the flow direction changes twice which results in higher pressure
drops. Due to other advantages offered by them, they are widely used
in applications where pressure drop through the valve is not a
controlling factor. These valves are generally not used beyond sizes
larger than NPS 12 (DN 300) as enormous forces are exerted on the
stem to open or close the valve under fluid pressures. Globe valves
require high pressures on the seat to keep it closed when the fluid exerts
pressure from the bottom of the disc.
32 | P a g e
Disc Check Valves : Disc check valves, also called as non-return
valves allow the flow to pass through them in only one direction and
stop the flow in reverse direction. Because of this unique directional
property, disc check valves are essentially used for some critical
applications in the steam systems. There are four major types of disc
check valves as follows :
• Lift Check Valve
• Swing Check Valve
• Spring loaded Check Valves
• Diaphragm Type Check Valve
