Case Study for a Dairy Major1. Client: Dairy Major2. Appliance / Equipment : Air Heating Equipment for Milk Product Plant3. Problems: • Very low thermal efficiency• Soot and clinker formation on burner head• Fouling and periodic breakdown of equipments4. Problem Studied (‘As is’ basis)• Evaluated the stack losses and its recent contribution to loss• System evaluated and performance checked off, installed indigenous burners and heating system for fuel study• Heat exchanger capacity evaluation5. Solution• Suggested the adequate and efficient operation system for fuel oil heating with respect to available fuel oil.• Burner performance enhancing by replacement of energy efficient burner with additional control and safeties6. Feasibility Study• Project cost estimate for performance enhancement and implementing suggested solutions• Suggested estimate of pay back period
