Subject: Water treatment plant at Indo Gulf fertilisers - P.O.NO. 8005

Dear Sir,

We  wish  to  inform  you  that  we  are  having raw water treatment
plant, designed  &  supplied  by  M/s  Geo  Miller  &  Co.  Ltd. vide
contract No.165800/IG/8005 dated 24th December'1985. The
Treatment system consists of lime handling & softening system
along with solid sludge separation plant (SSP).  Performance of the
treatment system has been quite satisfactory & till date we have
never faced any major problem in the system provided by
M/s Geo Miller & Co Ltd.

The plant was originally designed for a capacity of 1700 M3/Hr.
We would like to bring this in to your kind concern that over the
years we have taken number of steps to reduce the water
consumption in the complex. As a result of various initiatives,
water consumption in the complex has reduced from 1200 M3/Hr
to 650 M3/Hr.

Out  of total water requirement in the complex, 90% is required for
cooling tower make up and 10% is consumed in DM plant as fresh
make up. With a view to reduce the sludge generation in the
complex because of lime softening process, we have decided  to
take raw river water directly as make up to cooling  tower. However
in order to fulfill the requirement of DM plant, we will  be  required  to
soften about 50-100 M3/Hr water in the existing lime softening  
system which has been originally designed for a capacity of
1700 M3/Hr.  In this connection, we want to have your feed back
on the following:

What type of problems are envisaged if the plant is operated at
very low load than design flow.

Would you suggest intermittent operation of the softening unit.

Would you recommend any modification/improvement in the
existing systemso that it can be safely operated at load of
50-100 M3/Hr.

We hope you will provide your expertise & suggest accordingly.

An early reply will be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
