Monthly Performance Report – Stable Bleaching Powder (SBP)

[Virtual Presenter] The monthly performance report for January 2025 on Stable Bleaching Powder begins with an overview..

[Audio] In January 2025, we experienced a significant deviation from our planned production target. Our actual production totalled 700 metric tons, which fell short of our goal of 930 metric tons. The shortfall was mainly attributed to changes in market demand. Meanwhile, our monthly sales reached 677.650 metric tons, signifying a robust demand for our product. Additionally, our internal audit team conducted their 29th audit, guaranteeing that our procedures remained compliant with industry standards..

[Audio] Our planned production for January was set at 930 metric tons. However, we fell short of this target, producing only 700 metric tons. The deviation from our plan can be attributed to changes in market demand. This information will help us identify areas where we need to improve our operations to meet our targets..

[Audio] The raw material and utility consumption data for January 2025 reveals that we fell short of our planned targets. Our actual production was 700 metric tons, whereas our planned production was 930 metric tons, resulting in a deviation of 230 metric tons from market demand. Furthermore, our raw material and utility consumption showed variations. Hydrated lime consumption stood at 697.5 metric tons, below the planned target of 690 metric tons per million tons of stable bleaching powder. Chlorine consumption was 409.2 metric tons, lower than the planned target of 440 metric tons per million tons of stable bleaching powder. Power consumption was 263 kilowatt-hours per metric ton of stable bleaching powder, higher than the planned target of 235 kilowatt-hours per metric ton of stable bleaching powder due to frequent plant starts and stops. Water usage was 0.12 cubic meters per metric ton of stable bleaching powder, lower than the planned target of 0.6 cubic meters per metric ton of stable bleaching powder. Steam consumption was 0.13 metric tons per metric ton of stable bleaching powder, higher than the planned target of 0.45 metric tons per metric ton of stable bleaching powder. Lastly, caustic consumption was 0.040 metric tons per metric ton of stable bleaching powder, lower than the planned target of 0.07 metric tons per metric ton of stable bleaching powder. These discrepancies must be addressed to enhance our performance and achieve our objectives..

[Audio] The comparison of raw materials consumption shows that we have achieved better results compared to December 2024. The target consumption of hydrated lime was 0.75 units per metric ton, but we were able to reduce it to 0.62 units per metric ton. Similarly, our chlorine consumption has decreased from 0.75 units per metric ton to 0.44 units per metric ton. Our caustic consumption has also reduced from 7.0000000000000007E-2 units per metric ton to 0.04 units per metric ton. However, our water consumption remains high at 0.6 units per metric ton, and our steam consumption is still above the target at 0.45 units per metric ton. We need to focus on reducing these consumptions to achieve better performance..

[Audio] In January 2025, we experienced some downtime and maintenance issues. Our total downtime was 144 hours, equivalent to six days. The major reason behind this breakdown was market demand. We also performed preventive maintenance on our vacuum pump, which is a new installation in our plant. This maintenance work ensured that our equipment remains in good working condition and minimizes the risk of future breakdowns..

[Audio] In January 2025, we maintained a strong focus on ensuring a safe working environment for all employees. No safety incidents were recorded during the month, demonstrating our commitment to prioritizing employee well-being and adhering to industry standards. The 29th Internal Management System (IMS) audit was successfully completed, showcasing our ongoing efforts to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements. A plant internal safety audit was also conducted, identifying areas for improvement and implementing corrective actions. Three training sessions were provided for unskilled laborers, covering essential topics like personal protective equipment, water conservation, and housekeeping practices. These initiatives promoted a culture of safety awareness among all employees, enabling them to perform their tasks safely and efficiently..

[Audio] We will focus on improving our production performance in February 2025, setting a target production of 840 metric tons. To achieve this goal, we must reduce our power consumption to 235 kilowatt-hours per metric ton of stable bleaching powder, optimize our hydrated lime usage to 0.730 metric tons per metric ton of stable bleaching powder, and decrease our caustic consumption to 0.04 metric tons per metric ton of stable bleaching powder. By implementing these measures, we anticipate notable enhancements in our production performance..

[Audio] The yearly production target for 2024-2025 has been set at 6845 metric tons. Our budgeted production has been steadily increasing over the past few years, reaching a peak of 45658 metric tons in the last quarter. However, actual production has not quite matched these targets, with a slight dip in recent months. We remain committed to meeting our goals and will continue to work towards achieving them..

[Audio] Actual production was lower than planned due to market demand. We are grateful for your attention to this report and appreciate the time taken to review our performance for January 2025. We hope you found the information presented helpful in understanding our progress towards meeting our goals..
