[Audio] Good morning. This project focuses on the technology transfer of Thermopack hot oil circulation pumps from the existing water-cooled design to a self-air-cooled pump technology. The objective is to improve safety, reliability, and maintenance performance. Epoxy.

[Audio] Our Thermopack system operates at temperatures between 230 and 250 degrees Celsius using twelve hot oil circulation pumps. Frequent seal failures, hot oil leakage, cooling-water dependency, and increased maintenance activities were identified as major operational challenges..

[Audio] This slide shows the existing KSB CPK-EGY pump with a water-jacket cooling arrangement. Its performance depends heavily on continuous cooling water availability, making it vulnerable during cooling tower failures or power interruptions..

[Audio] To overcome these limitations, the KSB ETAN-Y self-air-cooled pump was identified as an alternative solution. The design eliminates cooling-water dependency and simplifies reliable operation..

[Audio] Compared with the existing design, the new pump significantly reduces maintenance requirements, prevents cooling-related seal failures, lowers spare consumption, and minimizes leakage risks during abnormal operating conditions..

[Audio] Introducing new technology into a critical Thermopack process presented challenges related to reliability, production continuity, and acceptance of a different maintenance philosophy after more than ten years of existing operation..

[Audio] To minimize risk, only one ETAN-Y pump was initially installed while retaining the existing pump as backup. A structured three-month validation program was conducted before considering wider implementation..

[Audio] The proposed solution delivers savings through reduced cooling-water-related maintenance, lower manpower requirements, reduced hot oil losses, and improved equipment reliability during continuous plant operation..

[Audio] For conversion of all twelve pumps, the total investment increases from ₹1,044,000 to ₹1,320,000. The additional investment required for technology transfer is ₹276,000..

[Audio] Estimated savings include elimination of hot oil losses, reduced manpower costs during pump replacement, and lower expenditure on shafts and maintenance spares. The total projected annual saving is approximately ₹889,680..

[Audio] Based on estimated monthly savings of ₹74,140, the additional investment can be recovered within approximately 3.7 months, making the project financially attractive..

[Audio] The key USP of this project is the elimination of water-jacket cooling dependency. This results in improved safety, better reliability, reduced maintenance effort, lower operating costs, and uninterrupted Thermopack performance..

[Audio] Following successful validation, this technology can be considered for similar thermal oil applications across other manufacturing units, supporting safety improvement, maintenance reduction, and operational excellence at a larger scale..
