KVK Thane District & KVK
Nanded District. Three inhouse
programs were conducted by
WR with KVK Thane District,
as per their training schedules.
One workshop on fuel saving
was for Agriculture College
where more than 40 students
had participated. Another
workshop was for house wives
cum farmers of Dahanu Taulka
where more than 25 ladies had
participated and third
workshop was for farmers of
Dahanu & near by talukas
where more than 20 male
farmers had participated.
These sessions covered topics
on fuel conservation in
Tractors, Pump Sets, Vehicles,
LPG Stoves as also covered
electricity saving in domestic
household appliances. During
the male farmer session,
topics on biogas from agro
waste, wood, use of gassifier,
use of biogas from algae, solar
lighting, solar cookers, etc were
discussed. In addition to above
five agricultural workshops were
conducted by our external faculty
for Central Farm Machinery

Application of Virtual Video Conferencing Technology for mass
awareness on Energy Conservation to Students of Various Schools
under Mumbai Municipal Corporation.
For the first time in the history
of PCRA, during OGCF 2014
on 28th January, WR had with
help of ONGC conducted its
youth programme on energy
conservation through video
conferencing for more than
250 schools of Mumbai
Municipal Corporation, by
utilizing the state of art videoconferencing studio facility of
MCGM at its Virtual Training
Centre at Dadar, Mumbai.
The function was inaugurated
by Sh.D.K.Mishra, GGMHRO, ONGC, who also
spoke about ONGC & its
initiatives in promoting Oil &
Gas Conservation during
OGCF. PCRA Officials
imparted the saving tips /
methods on fuel conservation
to the students in addition to
screening film on global
warming, i.e. Hindi-version of
the film. The students had live
interaction with PCRA &
ONGC Officials & lots of
their queries were addressed.
PCRA endeavors to do such
programs for other municipal
corporation schools where
video conferencing facilities
are available.

Energy Audits of Large Scale
Industries including those under
PAT Scheme.
WR had during year 2013-14
carried out Electrical &
Thermal Energy Audit of
Large Scale Industries in the
State of Maharashtra &
Gujarat, namely; BPCL
Mahul Refiner y where
savings identified is 69.87
Lakh Kwh, 8.16 Lakh SCM
Natural Gas & 182 MT FO,
Indian Oil Gujarat Refinery,
where savings identified is
142.85 Lakh Kwh, Oil &
Natural Gas Corporation,
Hazira, where savings
identified is 33.36 Lakh Kwh
& 8.2 CSM Natural Gas,
WR and ONGC conducted its youth programme on energy conservation
through video conferencing for more than 250 schools of Mumbai Municipal
Corporation,at its Virtual Training Centre at Dadar, Mumbai on 28th
January,
Gujarat Flourochemicals
Limited where savings
identified is 99.1 Lakh Kwh,
6983 MT Coal & 13.1 Lakh
SCM Natural Gas & HPCL
Refinery Mumbai (Savings
yet to be finalized). Total
savings of these four
Industries excluding HPCL
is 12517 KLOE. Total
Revenue generation is Rs. 97
Lakhs.
The Hand Book is based on a
number of energy audits
carried out by the PCRA
Engineers in small and
medium enterprises as well as
large enterprises in the
pharmaceutical sector. The
Hand book presents
opportunities for energy
conservation in a simple
manner, which can be easily
u n d e r s t o o d by f a c i l i t y
managers who make daily
decisions about utility
management and
maintenance. There are many
operations in the pharma
industry that demand huge
energy supply. Price and
supply volatility of energy
negatively effects financial
performance. The challenge
of maintaining high product
q u a l i ty wh i l e red uci n g
production cost can be met
through investments in energy
– efficient technologies and
energy – efficiency practices for
these operations. The Energy –
efficiency technologies stated in
this book may offer additional
benefits, such as quality
i m p r o ve m e n t , i n c r e a s e d
production, and improved
process efficiency, which can
lead to further productivity
gains. The hand book for the
pharma sector follows in a
series of earlier PCRA
publications, including a
practical guide for energy
conser vation in ceramic
industry and energy audit
manual for textile industry.
PCRA – WR thanks to EDPCRA and all the Officers and
Staff of PCRA for all excellent
work being done without whose
efforts it would not have been
possible to release this book.

Energy Efficiency in SME Textile Cluster at
Ichalkaranji, Dist Kolhapur.
WR had picked up textile
cluster in Ichalkaranji area,
d i s t r i c t Ko l h a p u r, f o r
improvement of Energy
Efficiency in it, where
normally cloth is being
processed. There are more
than 150 such industries in
this area. Most of these
Industries use fuel as Wood.
Some use Coal & Baggase
also, but in lesser quantity.
The fuel used is for Boilers &
Ther mic Fluid Heaters
(TFH).
Walk through energy audit
was car ried out in 20
industries, as also training on
Energy Conservation &
Environmental Protection
was also provided to their
employees. The industries
selected were ranging from
small to large cloth
processing units, where small
units use around 2500 Kg of
Wood per day & large units
use more than 15000 Kg of
Wood per day.
The Walk through audit
covered following: 1) Air to
Fuel Ratio in Boiler / TFH,
2) Insulation of Boiler,
Combustion Chamber of
Boiler, TFH Combustion
Chamber, Primary Coil of
TFH, Secondary Coil of
TFH, Connecting Portion

Drums, Hot Water Storage
Tanks, Economizer, 3)
Condensate Recovery &
Waste Heat Recovery, 4) Fuel
Substitute, 5) Gasification of
Fuel, 6) Improvement of
Power Factor, 7) Reduction
in Maximum Demand, 8)
Source of Energy (partially)
– mainly solar hot water
system & solar PV system.
Results of Walk Thru audits
& Suggestions were as
under:
1. Air to Fuel Ratio is
high than what it
s h o u l d b e
(reduction of
excess air will save 5
to 8 % of fuel)
2. Po o r I n s u l a t i o n
( A d e q u a t e
insulation will save
10 to 20 % of fuel
with payback
period of 6 to 20
months)
3. Direct Combustion

(replacement with T5
lights will save
electrical energy with
payback period of 7
to 8 months)

Tips for Staying Healthy in Summer
1.
Drink Water :
Drink water, at least two to four cups upon rising and similar amounts if you are going out for activities and exercise.
2.
Avoid Sunlight :
While enjoying the sun and outdoors, protect yourself from overexposure to sunlight by wearing a hat and using natural
sunscreens without excessive chemicals.
3.
Enjoy Nature :
Fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables are always at their organic best. Consuming foods that are cooling and light - fresh
fruits, vegetable juices, raw vital salads, and lots of water - will nourish your body for summertime activities.
4.
Family Time :
With your family, kids, and friends who share the enjoyment of outdoors. Plan a fun trip if you're able and motivated for a
day or longer - hiking in the wild, camping, playing at the river, or a few days resting at the ocean.
5.
Fitness Mantra :
Aerobic activity is important for keeping the heart strong and healthy. If you only work out in a health club, take some
time to do outdoor refreshing activities - hiking, biking, swimming, or tennis.
6.
Nutritional supplements :
It can support you with a greater amount of physical energy, enhancing your summer activities. The B-complex vitamins
are calming to the nervous system and helpful for cellular energy production, while vitamin C and the other antioxidants
protect your body from stress, chemical pollutants, and the biochemical by-products of exercise. Consult your family
Doctor.
7.
Relax, Breathe and Mediate :
You've been working hard. This is the season to slow the pace a bit and absorb the light that stimulates your hormonal
message center. Leave your cell phone at home or take a week off from TV. Use the summer months to deepen the
spiritual awakening begun in the spring. Begin by checking your local bookstore or the web for ideas that interest you.

WASHINGTON (Times of India : April 21 '2014):
Eesha Khare, 18, of Saratoga, California received the Intel
Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for
developing a fast-charging supercapacitor that fits inside a
cell phone, charge the battery in under a minute, and hold it
for long. Khare says the device will also result in batteries
that can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared
with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries.
The most electrifying breakthrough came from IndianAmerican high-schooler. A device she has developed can
fully charge a cell phone in 20 to 30 seconds in what will be
a boon for a gazillion mobile users who need to juice up
their cell phones quickly.
