ACHIEVEMENTS
1. 12-Million Combined Safe Man Hours Congratulations to all FFL employees on achieving 12 million combined (Permanent & Contractual Employees) safe man hours on 26th of August 2013, appreciate the efforts of all those involved in achieving this remarkable milestone.
2. Urea Plant Injury Prevention Plan

Urea IPP prepared and presented in Executive HSE Committee meeting by SMZ, it was appreciated by forum, and stewardship is in progress. 3. Mechanical seal failure of Steam Condensate circulation Pump (P-903 A) During routine changeover of P-903 B to A, mechanical seal of P-903 A failed and heavy leakage of steam condensate (~160 C) started meanwhile FSHH-1213 A/B/C timer actuated (ESD-1001 actuation time is 120 sec), board man quickly communicated to the area operator and P-903 A stopped and flow adjusted from P-903 B. Emergency very well managed by DCS board man as it might lead to ESD-1001 actuation and he also handle the abnormalities in plant parameters as S.C circulation in Pool Reactor tubes reduced. 4. Urea Dust Dissolving/Recycling Urea dust dissolving remained in progress during the month. Total dust recovered for the month of Aug was 3585 bags i.e.; 179.25 MT of Urea. Despite of this dust recovery load, urea product quality remained within design limits. 5. Urea Product Quality Urea Product quality was maintained in allowable limits during humid weather and at low load, Improvement in product fines observed after cleaning scrapper bed.

6. NP Plant Load Limitation NP plant facing load limitation due to Low CO2 flow from Urea plant, one factor contributing was Low suction pressures at NP CO2 compressor suction. By collaborative efforts between Urea and NP operations team, pressure at NP CO2 Compressor suction increased to maintain CO2 flow keeping Urea CO2 Compressor in safe operating range.

MACHINERY ACTIVITIES
P-903A mechanical seal replaced by machinery team. G-602 A/B Mechanical cleaning carried out. V-161 L.O console oil breather Mesh cleaned by machinery team. G-602 B shifted to W/S after dismantling as abnormal sound observed from the bearings. Now G-602 BCOMPANY installed again FATIMA FERTILIZER LTD after bearing replacement and running normal. 5 Page 5. K-101 L.O replaced by machinery. 6. P-953 A/B, P-252 and P-309 A/B oil replacement/makeup carried out by machinery team. 7. K-101 and K-851 suction filter cleaned. 1. 2. 3. 4.

ELECTRICAL ACTIVITIES
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. PM-802B bearing replaced by Electrical as motor was giving abnormal sound. PM-703 B bearing replaced by Electrical as motor was giving abnormal sound. Abnormal sound observed from PM-703 A, problem was rectified by greasing of motor. Abnormal sound observed from PM-705 A, problem was rectified by greasing of motor. Motor greasing and PM carried out on weekly basis. Voltage measurement at KT-102 shorey/carbon brushes and K-102 gear box earthing brush measured by electrical, declare ok. 7. Preventive maintenance of Prill tower Elevator carried out. 8. KM-851 taken in service after winding. Now, it is running fine.

HEALTH SAFETY AND ENVIORNMENT


1. Congratulations to all FFL employees on achieving 12 million combined (Permanent plus Contractual Employees) safe man hours on 26th of august 2013. 2. Fire Break Glass unit # 126 at Prill tower top inspection carried out by Electrical, declare ok. 3. Emergency Response plan Role statement discussed with shift team with reference to preparation of mock drill planned other than routine mock drill. 4. Following Incident report (IR-01) raised during the month; P-903A mechanical seal failure Elevator got stuck at 5th Floor Ammonia Recirculation cooler tube rupture 5. Following topics were discussed in weekly D-Level meeting; Fire Detection and Alarm system MOC Technology Piper Alpha (Safety Beacon) Executive HSE waiver PSSR (Pre-startup safety review) 6. The oil spillage from the breather of the K-102 lube oil circuit run down tank is a constant cause of slippery stairs / railings and unsatisfactory housekeeping in the CO2 compressor area. Issue needs to be addressed at the earliest. Machinery team is already aware about the problem.

7. Flash reports issued were discussed on regular basis with team. 8. HSE procedures discussion continued during night shift. 9. Management safety audit conducted as per schedule at urea plant. 07-unsafe actions and 01 unsafe condition reported. All observations status is close now. 10. 19-observations related to HSE reported during the month, 14 observations status is close now, remaining are open.

CONCERNS
1. Compressor operating parameters are deteriorating with time, second stage pressure is high and 3rd stage pressure is low with high temp, RPM of machine is running high at low plant load, compressor stages efficiency as calculated by process is also low, need to investigate in detail and rectify the root cause. 2. Flow dips observed in FT-1021 so to get margin, second antisurge valve is opened so due to more recycling, rpm of machine is high which causes high steam consumption. 3. Oil droplets from Rundown tank are cause of high concern as it can be cause of slippage and also a big hazard for fire. 4. E-102 B 03-leaked tubes have been plugged after SFT and hydro test. E-102 B tube bundle pulled out and inspected by inspection, its condition is deteriorating, declared misfit for operation, working on bypass is in progress 5. As both Ammonia recirculation coolers are unavailable due to tube rupture. So, P-102 A is running with recycle line isolated, executive HSE waiver has been taken on the subject issue. E-102 B is handed over to maintenance team for tube plugging and cooler by-pass modification job. They are working on it and plugged 02 leaky tubes. 6. K-102 pinion ACP (anti-coupling) side journal bearing temperatures (at TT-2125/26) remained high i.e.; greater than 100 C, during the month. Now, temperatures are stable at 110/114 C, problem communicated to vendor and proposed solution is still pending. 7. FT-1232 remained fluctuating, the faulty reading issue is minimized after installation of sunlight shed at FT, but could not be completely ruled out. MOR is initialized by Instrument team for remote display of transmitter. 8. P-301 B outboard radial vibration were high i.e. VI-2301/2302 B were 46/57 um, respectively. 9. LT-1135 at P-401 A/B (Urea Melt Pumps) suction remained erratic during the month and LV1135 remained on Manual mode. These cause level fluctuations at melt pump suction and cause disturbance in associated parameters. 10. Some Asset number/tags are missing in eAM maintenance module, end users are facing problems in raising MWR, problem communicated to the concern.
