RCF operates two multiplant complexes, one at Trombay and another at Thai, Maharashtra. Over the years RCF has put conscious efforts to improve efficiency of plants at Trombay and Thai on sustained basis. As a part of Energy Management Strategy, RCF adopted various short term and medium term measures. The revamp of Ammonia V plant at Trombay was implemented recently to reduce the energy consumption and enhance the capacity of the plant. The major measures implemented were modification in primary reformer, improvement in CO2 remoyal section, modification of process air compressor, replacement of synthesis gas compressor, installation of S-50 Converter, etc. As a result of these measures the energy consumption of Ammonia V plant was reduced from 11.95 MKCal/MT in 2005-06 to 9.47 MKCal/MT in 2009-10. Ammonia and urea plants at RCF Thal are under revamp to enhance the capacity and energy efficiency. The measures include modification in primary reformer, revamp of existing one stage Benfield CO2 removal system to GV two-stage regeneration process, installation of S-50 converter, etc. A significant energy saving is expected to realized after completion of revamp project in December 2012.
