SECTION 3. PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND PLANT LAYOUT

3.1. Production Technology The unit to be built in Hutsa Goda near Edaga Hamus environs will be a soda lime glass plant using an end port regenerative furnace to produce and melt 60 tons/day of glass. The glass quality will be "Ordinary soda lime glass" homogenous and free form bubbles. The raw materials to be used are silica sand, dolomite limestone/marble, feldspar along with other oxidizing, reducing and coloring agents. The silica sand will be quarried using ripper and blade of caterpillar while the dolomite, limestone and feldspar will be won by blasting and selective hand picking. They will be taken from the quarry face with wheel loaders and transported to the raw material preparation of the plant to be sized, crushed, washed and dried. After passing such sizing and beneficiation processes they will be conveyed to the respective storage and stock pilled. The Soda Ash will be transported by trucks from lake Abyatta or foreign source a separate hall will be used along with other minor ingredients and chemicals. The reclaiming of the materials is through front loaders/stacker reclaimer etc that will dump the material to hoppers and transported to their respective silos. From the silos materials are withdrawn with weigh belt feeders in exactly measured quantities and discharged on to the raw material mixer along with the minor ingredients and discharged to the furnace hopper. On the way crushed cullet feed from weigh feeders will be evenly sprinkled on the batch (mix) to be stored at the furnace hopper situated over the melting furnace. The charging of the mixture to the furnace will be done by a controlled feeding fixing the molten glass withdrawn and feed through a level probe. The furnace will supply energy by burners working intermittently to enhance heat recovery through an end port regenerative system. The molten mass will pass through a throat heated by electrodes to the working end. Apart from the fuel firing the furnace is designed to use the electrical boasting system to increase the output whenever necessary.

The molten glass is allowed to be distributed by the distributor to the forhearth to cool down to the necessary temperature. The forhearth are to use electrode heating underneath and radiant above the glass. The glass is fed to the machines by feeders using rotating tubes and reciprocating plungers at the spout. The glass is feed in gob forms by the shear blades that will cut it to the necessary shape and weight. The gobs will be fed through a distributor to the respective sections for operations in single or double gob through deflections and troughs on to the blank mould operating by an electronic timer. The glass is then inverted and


101

finally blown to shape and pushed to the machine conveyor to be feed to the annealing lehr. The bottles are transported by the chain conveyor and cooled. Before they reach the transfer wheel a hot end treatment by spraying Stannic Chloride is applied on the surface to enhance its strength and save in weight. Other treatment equipment at the hot end will be the pill dispenser for increasing chemical durability to pharmaceutical bottles. The bottles will be annealed in their respective annealing lehrs. Products are discharged at the cold end after passing the cold end treatment. Inspection of bottles will be conducted on the single liners by lighted screens and through a gauger and check detector. The packing is manually done at the packing table, however, provision for future packing installation and shrink wrapping is provided.

STATION 02: RAW MATERIAL PREPARATION PLANT

Description The limestone and dolomite quarries are shut down intermittently due to the nature of the mobile quarrying equipment's to be used one at a time. Limestone & dolomite will be quarried by blasting and manually selecting on to wheel loaders and transported by trucks to the raw material preparation plant by 20 ton off high way dump trucks. After crushing the boulders, the crushed materials are transported and sized through screens where the grain size range is stored and stock piled by a stacker. The feldspar will also be delivered by dump truck from the quarry to the crushing plant. This too will be crushed and sized and stored in its appropriate storage by the radial stacker.

The crushing and sieving operation being dry will naturally give rise to dust, hence, as a result dedusting equipment and ducts must be installed at each stage were there is dust to avoid contamination.

The silica sand is quarried using heavy duty earth moving machines. The preliminary sizing or screening should be done at the quarry post to avoid carrying unutilized materials. The silica is then stock pilled and attrition scrubbed, classified and stacked in the open to dry. The semi - dry material is dried in a rotating kiln and stored separately.

The raw material plant Consists of three lines namely; bulk material line, silica line and cullet line.

The capacities of these lines must consider future expansion so as to not be a

bottleneck.

2. General Description of the Equipment Control Centers and Control Posts, Electrical Equipments Rooms.

The recommended control center (s) and control posts shall be specified in the

offer. In additions, decentralized electro-rooms will be provided within the plant to

accommodate contactor cubicles. They will appropriately be located close to the respective plant unit or stations.

The layout will be made in detail at the design stage. Control Centers The control center (s) will be designed for the control and supervision of

continuous processes. They must be permanently attended by supervisory personnel. They essentially consist of control boards and monitors (both described under the appropriate head lines) and other boards or panels needed for the registration of measured values, centralized registration of trouble conditions etc.

The mimic diagram will be fitted in the upper portion of the control board. Control Posts The control posts will be designed for the control and supervision of partial

processes. They shall be attended by operating personnel as required (e.g. raw material

lines).this posts are integrated with central control Control Boards The control board will consists of a measuring section and a supervisory section.

It serves for supervising the machinery of the process unit concerned. Indicator lamps will indicate the operating conditions of the equipment. The

control board also incorporates running-hour indicators and the necessary measuring instruments for current, voltage, departmental Kwh, temperature, power factor, fuel, and other measuring instruments.

The measuring section of the control board houses, among other things, the

measured-value recorders, two-point and instantaneous controllers for indicating and signaling measured-value limits, the controllers for adjusting final control elements, power units and part of the associated components such as electronic amplifiers balancing, calibrating, and adjusting resistors as well as fuses for measuring circuits.

The process section concerned is symbolically shown as a flow diagram in the

upper portion of the control board. Arranged in the lower portion are, the readings of process quantities that are required for running the plant unit directly within the operator's sight. The supervisory section will be mounted on a base to ensure optimum visibility of the instruments from the control desk area.


155

Control monitors or Central Control The control desks will be fitted with all the controls and supervisory devices for

closing the circuit breakers of the contactor board incoming feeder panels, connecting the control voltages and the drive starting preliminary signal, and for "emergency stop" location.

Furthermore, all the controls, signal and adjusting devices required for the

operation of the plant are located on the control monitors. The control monitors will be located in front of the control boards.

The Monitors shall be located in the central control room. Contactor cubicles They will serve for the power supply to the electric driving motors and other

electrical equipment of larger machine groups. They will be of sheet-steel-enclosed dust-proof design and have from and rear

doors, so access is ensured to all the built-in components. The contractor cubicle will consist of the incoming-feeder panel and the

adjacent outgoing-feeder panels. The incoming-feeder panel houses the circuit breaker for the power supply intake from the low-voltage main switchboard.

In the contactor panels, the switching and control devices, fuses and terminals

are grouped for each drive. Air-break contactors will be used as switching devices for the power supply to

the driving motors. Motor protection is secured by circuit breakers with dual protection and/or fuse

in conjunction with bimetallic relays (thermal releases). The releases shall be adjusted to the motor rated current during initial start up.

If the bimetallic release operates on overload, the line contactor will be de-

energized and the drive shut down. At the same time, an audible and a visual signal will be given.

Switch boxes for individual operation (local control) The switch box will be used for the local control of low and medium power

drives. the switch box will be of sheet-steel enclosed design and will have a lockable cover. The box will contain a key switch to change over from remote control to local control as well as the push-buttons for local control. The drive which has been changed over to local control will remain interlocked in accordance with the material flow. The protection for the motor and equipment remains. However, where having been changed over, the drive will be excluded from group shut-down that means, the operator is fully responsible for the safety of personnel during the local control of the drive. Generally, local control should be performed only during initial start-up and in exceptional cases when trouble has occurred.

Other devices located outside the equipment sections In order to give an early warning to the personnel before the plant is started up,

a number of hooters and warning lamps (red light) will be distributed over the plant area. These devices have to be operated compulsorily before each start up.
