Observations & Recommendations
MT - Motors
| Observation | Recommendation | Unit Savings | Annual Savings | Investment | ROI | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level in aeration unit is greater than the standard decided by GPCB | DO sensor based system required for monitoring of DO in the aeration tank: 1) ON & OFF of Blowers & 2) VFD based system-ACT 1 & ACT-2 Blowers. (Switching OFF of one blower from ACT-1 & ACT-2 for 12 hrs/day). | 3,65,083.2 | ₹23,73,040.8 | ₹2,00,000 | 1 | |
| Motors are running under load | Monitor that motors if during load time they are running at less load replace the motor with smaller one. | 0 | ₹0 | ₹0 | 0 | |
| Leakage from blower bellow | Replace rubber bellow with metallic bellow | 0 | ₹0 | ₹50000 | 0 | |
| Continuous air leakage from 1/2" line just near the blower outlet line | Due to trip issue of blower, they are continuously loosing the air for that use pressure relief valve or pressure pre-set so that this issue can be avoided | 0 | ₹0 | ₹0 | 0 |
CPF - Capacitor & Power Factor
| Observation | Recommendation | Unit Savings | Annual Savings | Investment | ROI | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Some Capacitor of APFC Transformer 1 is derated | Need to check the rated voltage at capacitor name plate and try to fix the voltage issue and if kVAR actual is less than rated then need to change derated capacitor to improve PF for and decrease the load current | Load current will reduce | ₹0 | ₹23,473 | 0 | |
| Some Capacitor of APFC Transformer 2 is derated | Need to check the rated voltage at capacitor name plate and try to fix the voltage issue and if kVAR actual is less than rated then need to change derated capacitor to improve PF for and decrease the load current | 0 | ₹0 | ₹51,128 | 0 |
