Difference between standard design in ethanol/ena plants supplied by plant suppliers and by customers design/requirements as per their operational experience while operating in such type of Organizations.
1. The selection of m.o.c 's and their specifications regarding their make, material composition and thickness etc really matters the life of the plant and its continuous operation with out any unnecessary breakdowns.
2. The selection of equipments with respect to their capacities with respect to diameter, height, etc and their auxiliaries such as heat exchangers, condensors, pumps and motors as a units also make lots of difference.
3. The selection of utilities such as cooling towers, steam requirements, electrical power requirements, water requirements and their treatment systems, effluent generation and its treatment systems along with water recycling systems are greater role to play with respect towards success and selection of plant capacities.
4. Selection of process and utility pipelines with respect to m.o.c, their sizes, their schedule selection also play major lmpact for successful and continuous operations of the plant.
5. In practice where project proponents are more dependent on turnkey projects by suppliers shall be facing more operational issues than when they engage more technically competent personnel from the beginning of the project until its commissioning.
6. While it is more important taking a view in cost of the project but it is equally important to look into the post commissioning benefits it offers by its continuous operational time and less unforeseen outages. The quality and quantity of the products thus produced will definitely offsets the little premium injected in the initial project costs.
