Grasim Cellulosic Division, Vilayat - Power plant, Manager 2012 - Present

Gained expertise and implemented SAP-PP, SAP-PM, Management Information System (MIS) report generation in line with performance criteria of management, to create daily, weekly, and monthly reports. Thereby enhanced the understanding of the smooth and cost-e ective running of the power plant.

Implemented various safety standards and best practices concerning workplace safety and process safety

(Du Pont).

Implemented the IMS standards concerning Quality, Environment, Occupational Health and Safety.

Liaison and management of annual boiler inspections, handling pollution control board requirements and issues, and other regulatory requirements.

Acquired the knowledge of turbine Major Overhauling, by visiting Turbo engineering Services (TES) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) Hyderabad.

Planning and supervision of turbine major overhauling activities: sand blasting, governing valve repairs, re ning machining of rotor, guide blade carriers, steam glands, rotor testing (MPI, DPT), rotor hardness testing, low & high speed multi plane rotor balancing. Thus resulting in increase of electrical load by 15%

Monitoring and ensuring Boiler Water Chemistry & Coal sampling and analysis activities

Worked on improving and renovating the existing Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) on all boilers, there- fore reducing the fugitive emission below government norms.

Supervised and lead 3x32MW EPC Project with 4x175TPH Thermax CFBC Boilers and 3x32MW BHEL TG sets (Double controlled extraction with condenser)

Managed a team up to 40 people; built their competencies to handle shift operations independently.

Skilled and adept in running the coal power plant in adverse situations - i.e. using 10 conveying belts, stacker, and reclaimer while working with contractual laborers without any operator.

Erection and commissioning of coal handling plant with the coal capacity of 1 x 200 TPH with THERMAX team.

Worked and cooperated with internal teams to improve the e ciency of boilers of the power plant by 5% with the help of manual tracking

Finalized and handled AMCs for ESP, Ash disposal, Coal handling operations etc. 2

Grasim Cellulosic Division, China -BJFCL Power plant, Deputy Manager 2006 - 2012

Innovated an idea for drying very high moisture coal by using a hot boiler bed drain mixed with coal in the rainy season, thus removing the need of stopping the power plant and process plants in an adverse situation.

Worked on saving initial cost and minimizing break down of system by commissioning a crusher which eliminated the use of vibrating screen this further ensured smooth operation of the coal plant.

Erection and commissioning of soft water system thereby eliminating the need for intermittent regener- ation thus saving water by 5%.

Erection and commissioning of 1x15MW Project with 2x75TPH CFBC Boilers and 15MW back pressure turbine

Worked on operation and maintenance of 25TPH (3 CFBC Boilers) and prepared MIS reports on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to provide transparency to higher management.

Finalized and handled Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for Coal handling operations etc. Grasim Industries Limited Nagda - Power plant, Assistant Manager 2002-2006

Supervised the erection and commissioning of Mechanised Coal Handling Plant (MCHP), thereby remov- ing the need of Manual coal unloading by truck. Thus increasing the safety of coal plant and subsequently reducing the running cost.

Decommissioned the Pressure Reducing Desuperheating Station (PRDS) and replaced it with Topping Turbine (2.8 MW) while recovering the project cost in the span of 1.5 years.

Involved in installation of Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) in equipment’s such as DM Water pump, Boiler PA pump etc. that helped in power saving

Grasim Industries Limited Nagda - Power plant, Engineer / Sr. Engineer 1994-2002

Oversaw the day to day operations of di erent types of Boilers such as Atmospheric Fluidised Bed Combustion (AFBC) and Pulverised Fuel (PF) and looked after various Turbine like Condensing Turbine

(25MW and 40 MW) and Extraction-cum-Back pressure Turbine (16.5 MW)
