Abstract
My project title is “To study about manufacturing of water tube as well as fired
tube boilers, Thermic fluid heaters and Hot air generation systems.” First of all
according to client requirements, we receives a plant layout of ac tual site area
of that company to make a suitable design of boilers assembly and then
according to requirements we decide actual boiler parts size with their loading
condition as well as thermal capacity by IBR calculations and then make P&ID
and GA drawing of boiler assembly and then fix into that plant layout. Then we
make a detail drawing of all components of boiler and then manufacturing is
done by different fabricationtechniques and welding processes. In between this
hole project is done, all departments are working on their respective work
behind project. The main objectives of internship are: (1) Explore career
alternatives prior to graduation. (2) Integrate theory and practice. (3) Assess
interests and abilities in their field of study. (4) Learn to appreciate work and its
function in the economy.

industries in very heavy usage. In this company this all types of boilers are made. The
company makes a highly precise boilers according to customer requirements. The highly
skilled engineers are design the boilers to works with high quality steam generation with
fully electrically controlled components of boilers.
The use of steam boilers in every systems include water heating, sanitation, cooking,
waste heat energy utilization or recovery systems, and central heating. This company
makes a 100% water tube boilers and other components sizes and shapes are changes
according to clients requirements, like drum position, tonnage capacity of steam required
etc. The main product of company is 100% water tube boilers. Fired tube boilers are used
to warm the air which is transferred to the rooms of a house or warehouse.
Figure 2.1 Multi- fuel 4 pass single drum 100% water tube Boiler
This boiler is the main product of company and according to name the 4 pass means to
create a path of flue gas in 4 passes to increase the heat transfer area and get maximum
steam from that. The 4 passes are made by using the hollow bricks which are set on the
column of supporting structure and to make 4 pasSSE in GBT PANEL. The GBT stands
for GENERATING BANKS TUBES.
Figure 2.2 Multi- fuel single drum corner tube type Boiler
A corner tube boiler is a natural type of circulation water tube which differentiates itself
from other water tube boilers by its characteristic water steam cycle and a pre- separation
of heated steam from the steam- water mixture occurs outside the drum and the unheated
downcomers.
SPECIFICATION:
This boiler have versatile two drum, water tube design, solid fuel fired boiler generally
used to generate high steam pressure required for incidental power generation or
cogeneration. It is also used for saturated steam application.
Steam generating capacity from 0.5 Ton/hr. to 15 Ton/hr. at pressure up to 160 Kg/cm 2.
These are truck mounted boilers with their own power generating source (diesel
generator), pumps, and control system and burner furnace. These types of boilers are used
mainly in oil, gas and mineral exploration at remote sites with scares or no facility of
steam generation is available.
A Thermic fluid heater is industrial heating equipment, used where only heat transfers are
desired instead of pressure. In this equipment, a thermic fluid is circulated in the entire
system for heat transfers to the desired processes.
SPECIFICATIONS:-
Design: 4 pass
Fuel: Wood, Lignite, Coal, etc.
Where the Thermic Fluid Travelled through the pump in to the convective h.e.and than
radiative h.e. to final process.
SALIENT FEATURES:
SALIENT FEATURES:
Hot air generator are equipments intended for heating any type of premises where a fast
and efficient heating system is required. Its operation is based on the carrying out
combustion in a home and the gases produced pass through a heat exchanger where heat
transfer is carried out with the air driven by a fan.
SALIENT FEATURES:
There are mainly three types of different types of air heat generators. Direct combustion
HAG and Indirect combustion HAG and electric HAG.
In this type of HAG, Fresh air passes onto surface of combustion chamber with the help
of a blower, shape of the passage is such that maximum heat transfer is possible,
generating hot air in just few minutes of its start.
Indirect HAG can supply the fresh air and Clean air upto 450 degree C.
Now in our company, one IHAG project is running and that parts are primary,secondary,
tertiary, final air pre heater, cyclone, furnace etc parts are complete.
The air pollution control equipments collect particulate emissions work on the principle
of (i) Gravity separation, (ii) Cyclonic separation, (iii) Filtration, (iv)Electro static
precipitation, and (v) wet scrubbing.
The APCEs are a series of devices that work to prevent a variety of different pollutants,
both gaseous and solid, from entering the atmosphere primarily out of industrial
smokestacks.
This APCE is removes particles from a gas stream by using the electrical energy to
charge the particles either positively or negatively.
The charged particles are then attracted to collector plates carrying yhe opposite charge.
An ESP is also called is Electrostatic air cleaner, a device that uses an electric charge to
remove certain impurities.
A pulse jet bag filter, also called a pulse jet baghouse or pulse jet dust collector, is a self
cleaning dry filtration system.
The pulse jet dust collector cleaning system removes particulate matter and dust from the
surface of internal filter media with bursts of compressed air.
A venture scrubber accelerates the waste gas stream to atomise the scrubbing liquid and
to improve gas liquid contact.
In a venture scrubber, a ―throat‖ section is built into the duct that force the gas stream to
accelerate as the duct narrows and then expands.
In this process, liquid or soild particles are removed from gas stream by transferring them
to a liquid.
This is known as MDC in short name. Mechanical dust collector, often called cyclones or
multiclones have been used extensively to separate large particles from a flue gas stream.
Mechanical collectors are particulate control devices that are use centrifugal force, gravity
settling and inertia to collect pollutants.
This is mainly used for removes dirt, dust, debris, gases, and chemicals from the air,
providing your factory with cleaner air, which can provide numerous benefits.
IMPORTANCE OF MDC:
The design department is a team within a company or organization that is responsible for
creating visual concepts, designs, and layouts for various projects, such as advertising
campaigns, product packaging, websites, and other forms of media. The department may consist
of graphic designers, art directors, web designers, UX/UI designers, and other creative
professionals who work together to bring the client's vision to life.
The design department typically collaborates closely with other departments, such as marketing,
product development, and engineering, to ensure that the final product meets the client's needs
and objectives. The team may also be responsible for managing brand identity, creating style
guides, and ensuring that all visual materials are consistent with the company's overall design
aesthetic.
The design department plays a crucial role in shaping the company's image and communicating
its message to the public. As such, it requires individuals with strong creative skills, an eye for
detail, and the ability to work effectively under pressure and tight deadlines
Design engineering :
A design engineer is an engineer focused on the engineering design process in any of the
various engineering disciplines
(including civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, textiles, aerospace, nuclear, manufacturing, sys
tems, and structural /building/architectural) and design disciplines like Human-Computer
Interaction. Design engineers tend to work on products and systems that involve adapting and
using complex scientific and mathematical techniques. The emphasis tends to be on
utilizing engineering physics and other applied sciences to develop solutions for society.
A design engineer usually works with a team of other engineers and other types of designers
(e.g. industrial designers), to develop conceptual and detailed designs that ensure a product
functions, performs, and is fit for its purpose. They may also work with marketers to develop the
GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY 17 GEC MODASA
product concept and specifications to meet customer needs, and may direct the design effort. In
many engineering areas, a distinction is made between the "design engineer" and other
engineering roles (e.g. planning engineer, project engineer, test engineer). Analysis tends to play
a larger role for the latter areas, while synthesis is more paramount for the former; nevertheless,
all such roles are technically part of the overall engineering design process.
When an engineering project involves public safety, design engineers involved are often
required to be licensed - for example, as a Professional Engineer (in the U.S and Canada). There
is often an "industrial exemption" for engineers working on project only internally to their
organization, although the scope and conditions of such exemptions vary widely across
jurisdictions.
There are two software are used to design the boilers: (1) AutoCAD and (2) Solid works.
Solid Works is a solid modeler, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach which was
initially developed by PTC (Creo/Pro-Engineer) to create models and assemblies. The software
uses the Parasolid modelling kernel.
Parameters refer to constraints whose values determine the shape or geometry of the model or
assembly. Parameters can be either numeric parameters, such as line lengths or circle diameters,
or geometric parameters, such as tangent, parallel, concentric, horizontal or vertical, etc.
Numeric parameters can be associated with each other through the use of relations, which allows
them to capture design intent.
Design intent is how the creator of the part wants it to respond to changes and updates. For
example, you would want the hole at the top of a beverage can to stay at the top surface,
regardless of the height or size of the can. SolidWorks allows the user to specify that the hole is
a feature on the top surface, and will then honor their design intent no matter what height they
later assign to the can.
Features refer to the building blocks of the part. They are the shapes and operations that
construct the part. Shape-based features typically begin with a 2D or 3D sketch of shapes such as
bosses, holes, slots, etc. This shape is then extruded to add or cut to remove material from the
part. Operation-based features are not sketch-based, and include features such as fillets,
chamfers, shells, applying draft to the faces of a part, etc.
Building a model in SolidWorks usually starts with a 2D sketch (although 3D sketches are
available for power users). The sketch consists of geometry such as points, lines, arcs, conics
(except the hyperbola), and splines. Dimensions are added to the sketch to define the size and
location of the geometry. Relations are used to define attributes such as tangency, parallelism,
perpendicularity, and concentricity. The parametric nature of SolidWorks means that the
dimensions and relations drive the geometry, not the other way around. The dimensions in the
sketch can be controlled independently, or by relationships to other parameters inside or outside
the sketch.
In an assembly, the analog to sketch relations are mates. Just as sketch relations define
conditions such as tangency, parallelism, and concentricity with respect to sketch
geometry, assembly mates define equivalent relations with respect to the individual parts or
components, allowing the easy construction of assemblies. SolidWorks also includes additional
advanced mating features such as gear and cam follower mates, which allow modeled gear
assemblies to accurately reproduce the rotational movement of an actual gear train.
Finally, drawings can be created either from parts or assemblies. Views are automatically
generated from the solid model, and notes, dimensions and tolerances can then be easily added
AutoCAD is developed and marketed by Autodesk, Inc. and was first released in 1982. It is
available on Windows and macOS operating systems and is widely used in many industries for
drafting, modeling, and design purposes.
AutoCAD provides a wide range of features and tools that allow users to create precise and
accurate designs, including:
2D drafting and documentation tools, such as lines, arcs, circles, and text.
3D modeling and visualization tools, including surface modeling, solid modeling, and mesh
modeling.
Collaboration and sharing tools, such as cloud storage integration and real-time collaboration.
Customization options, allowing users to customize menus, toolbars, and shortcuts according to
their specific needs.
Automation and scripting tools, allowing users to automate repetitive tasks and customize their
workflow.
For production workers the 2d view is easy to understand, because in this organization
whole boiler is made by fabrication work, so 2d view of drawing is most easiest.
Mechanical engineers design and oversee the manufacturing of many products ranging
from medical devices to new batteries. They also design power-producing machines such
as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines as well as
power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
Like other engineers, mechanical engineers use computers to help create and analyze
designs, run simulations and test how a machine is likely to work.
All Departments are works together and make a successful every product and all
department are integrated by Software which name is STERP. This software is used to
help to the complete one product from material selection to final instalment of boiler to
the respective client company.
In the broadest sense, project managers (PMs) are responsible for planning,
organizing, and directing the completion of specific projects for an organization
while ensuring these projects are on time, on budget, and within scope.
By overseeing complex projects from inception to completion, project managers
have the potential to shape an organization’s trajectory, helping to reduce costs,
maximize company efficiencies, and increase revenue.
The exact duties of a project manager will depend on their industry, organization,
and the types of projects that a PM is tasked with overseeing. But across the
board, all project managers share responsibilities across what’s commonly
referred to as the ―project life cycle,‖ which consists of five phases (or processes):
Initiating
Planning
Executing
Monitoring and Controlling
Closing
While it may be tempting to think of these as ―steps,‖ they aren’t. Rather,
these are processes project managers continually return to throughout the life of a
project.
Below, we take a closer look at each phase of the project life cycle, as well as the
different responsibilities a project manager might have in each.
3) Quality control: The production department is responsible for ensuring that the products
meet the required level of quality by implementing quality control procedures and
conducting regular inspections.
4) Safety and compliance: The production department is responsible for ensuring that the
manufacturing process complies with all relevant safety and environmental regulations.
5) Cost control: The production department is responsible for managing production costs
and implementing cost-saving measures to improve profitability.
7) Coordination with other departments: The production department must work closely with
other departments such as sales, marketing, and logistics to ensure that the manufacturing
process meets the overall goals of the company.
Overall, the production department plays a critical role in ensuring the success of a company by
managing the manufacturing process and ensuring that the products are produced efficiently,
cost-effectively, and with the required level of quality.
Production Planning: This function involves creating a plan for the manufacturing
process, including selecting the appropriate welding techniques, determining the
required materials and welding consumables, and scheduling production
activities.
Quality Control: This function is responsible for ensuring that the final welded
product meets the required quality standards. This involves performing inspections
and tests at various stages of the welding process, identifying any defects or
issues, and implementing corrective actions.
Single or multiple (2 to 5) electrode wire variations of the process exist. SAW strip-
cladding utilizes a flat strip electrode (e.g. 60 mm wide x 0.5 mm thick). DC or AC
power can be used, and combinations of DC and AC are common on multiple
electrode systems. Constant voltage welding power supplies are most commonly used;
however, constant current systems in combination with a voltage sensing wire-feeder
are available.
Welding Head:
It stores the flux and controls the rate of flux deposition on the welding
joint.
Electrode:
SAW filler material usually is a standard wire as well as other special
forms. This wire normally has a thickness of 1.6 mm to 6 mm (1/16 in. to
1/4 in.). In certain circumstances, twisted wire can be used to give the arc
an oscillating movement. This helps fuse the toe of the weld to the base
metal.[4] The electrode composition depends upon the material being
welded. Alloying elements may be added in the electrodes. Electrodes are
available to weld mild steels, high carbon steels, low and special alloy
steels, stainless steel and some of the nonferrous of copper and nickel.
Electrodes are generally copper coated to prevent rusting and to increase
their electrical conductivity. Electrodes are available in straight lengths
and coils. Their diameters may be 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 3, 4.0, 4.8, and 6.4 mm.
The approximate value of currents to weld with 1.6, 3.2 and 6.4 mm
diameter electrodes are 150–350, 250–800 and 650–1350 Amps
respectively.
The flux starts depositing on the joint to be welded. Since the flux is not
electrically conductive when cold, the arc may be struck either by
touching the electrode with the work piece or by placing steel wool
between electrode and job before switching on the welding current or by
using a high frequency unit. In all cases the arc is struck under a cover of
flux. Flux otherwise is an insulator but once it melts due to heat of the arc,
it becomes highly conductive and hence the current flow is maintained
between the electrode and the workpiece through the molten flux. The
upper portion of the flux, in contact with atmosphere, which is visible
remains granular (unchanged) and can be reused. The lower, melted flux
becomes slag, which is waste material and must be removed after
welding.
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc
welding (MMA or MMAW), flux shielded arc welding[1] or informally as
stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable
electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld.

At Par, they follow the IBR 1950 (and its latest amendments) , ASME Section I
and ASME Section VIII design codes to design and manufacture our Boilers,
Thermal Oil Heater & other heating systems under the TPI of TUV, BVQi, IBR-
2015 as well as per ASME Section I and ASME Section VIII, PED under CE.
We have also initiated the process, for ―S‖ Stamps and ―U‖ Stamps certification,
under ASME Code and very soon we shall have S & U stamp accreditation.
For the mechanical design of our boilers, pressure vessels, chimney we make use
of the latest computer software like ANSYS and PVelite. For the process design
and thermal calculationsthey make use of HTRI.
It is a standard practice at Par to commence production after getting the QAP
(Quality Assurance Plan) approval from the End user and we STRICTLY follow
the approved QAP ,during design and manufacturing. In the absence of client
approved QAP , we follow our own QAP of our own Quality Assurance
department.
Eliminating Pass or Fail - Another important aspect to ensure that you are
producing items of high quality is to turn away from simple pass/fail indicators.
This indicator provides little to no information about cases where one or more
technical parameters of the item is just within the allowed tolerance. Instead,
manufacturers should record actual values so that they can make data-driven
decisions and work toward improving the production process and reduce the
number of low-quality items.
The quality department is a specialized team or group within an organization that is responsible
for ensuring that products or services meet the established quality standards and customer
expectations. This department plays a crucial role in ensuring that the organization's products or
services are consistent, reliable, and of high quality.
The primary goal of the quality department is to ensure that the products or services produced by
the organization meet the established quality standards and comply with any applicable
regulations and laws. This involves developing and implementing quality control processes,
conducting inspections and audits, identifying and addressing quality issues, and continuously
improving the quality of the organization's products or services.
Some specific tasks that the quality department may be responsible for include creating quality
standards and procedures, training employees on quality control processes, conducting quality
audits and inspections, and implementing corrective actions to address quality issues. The
quality department may also be responsible for conducting customer surveys and feedback to
identify areas for improvement.
In summary, the quality department is a critical component of many organizations that ensures
that the products or services produced meet the established quality standards and customer
expectations. It plays a vital role in identifying and addressing quality issues , implementing
quality control processes, and continuously improving the quality of the organization's products
or services.
The main task of quality department is management of the quality of raw materials, assemblies,
products and components, services related to production, and management, production and
inspection processes comes under the aegis of Quality Department.

Quality control in welding is the process of ensuring that welded structures meet the
desired quality standards. Welding is a critical process that can impact the safety,
reliability, and longevity of a structure. Therefore, it is essential to have a robust quality
control process in place to ensure that the welding process meets the required
specifications and standards.
In summary, quality control in welding involves a range of measures to ensure that the
welding process meets the required standards. A well-designed quality control process
can help ensure that the welding is done consistently and produces high-quality welds.
Welding is a critical process that can affect the safety and reliability of the structure.
Therefore, it is essential to have a robust quality checking process in place to identify
any defects in the welds and rectify them before they cause any issues.
Visual inspection: Visual inspection is the most common method of quality checking
in welding. It involves examining the welds with the naked eye or with the help of a
magnifying glass or a borescope to identify any visible defects such as cracks,
porosity, or lack of fusion.
Non-destructive testing (NDT): NDT methods are used to detect defects that are not
visible to the naked eye. These methods include ultrasonic testing, radiography,
magnetic particle inspection, liquid penetrant inspection, and eddy current testing.
NDT methods can detect internal defects in the welds and are often used in critical
applications.
Destructive testing: Destructive testing involves cutting out a portion of the weld and
subjecting it to various tests to evaluate the quality of the weld. Destructive testing
can provide information about the weld strength, ductility, and toughness.
Acceptance criteria: Acceptance criteria are the minimum standards that the welds
must meet to be considered acceptable. The acceptance criteria are usually defined in
the welding procedure specification (WPS) and are based on the applicable welding
standards.
1) Visual Inspection:
Quality welders often use visual inspections to detect component defects like
burnt edges, corrosion, erosion, cracks, and lack of fusion or thickness. A
reputable welding inspector can make the right choice of visual inspections
and any subsequent tests required to ensure it meets the product acceptance
criteria.
2) Radiography Testing:
During radiography testing, the object being inspected is placed between the X-
ray or gamma ray source and a detector. The radiation passes through the object
and interacts with the detector, producing an image that can be interpreted by a
trained technician. The resulting image can show the presence of defects such as
cracks, voids, and inclusions.
3) Hydro Test:
A hydrostatic test is a type of pressure test used to check the structural integrity
of a component or vessel by subjecting it to water pressure. It is commonly used
in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, and construction to test the strength
and durability of pipelines, tanks, and other equipment.
During a hydrostatic test, the component is filled with water, and the pressure is
gradually increased to a level that exceeds the maximum operating pressure. The
pressure is then held for a set period of time to check for leaks or other defects.
The test is typically performed using specialized pumps and pressure gauges, and
the results are recorded and analyzed by trained technicians.
Hydrostatic tests can be used to detect defects such as leaks, cracks, and
deformities in the component being tested. It can also be used to ensure that the
component can withstand the maximum pressure it is designed to handle, and to
verify compliance with industry standards and regulations.
While hydrostatic testing is generally considered a safe and effective method for
testing the structural integrity of components, it does carry some risks, such as
the potential for water damage or injury due to sudden failure of the component
being tested. Proper safety measures must be taken, and the test should only be
performed by trained and experienced personnel.
Dye penetrant testing (DPT), also known as liquid penetrant testing or penetrant
inspection, is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used to detect surface
defects and cracks in materials. It is commonly used in industries such as
aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
During a dye penetrant test, a liquid dye is applied to the surface of the object
being tested. The dye is allowed to penetrate any cracks or defects in the surface,
and excess dye is then wiped away. A developer, typically a white powder, is
then applied to the surface, which draws out the dye and makes any defects
visible. The resulting image can then be interpreted by a trained technician.
Dye penetrant testing can detect surface defects such as cracks, porosity, and laps
in materials such as metals, ceramics, and plastics. It is a relatively simple and
inexpensive method, and can be performed on large or complex-shaped objects.
However, it is limited to detecting surface defects and may not detect defects that
are deeper in the material.

Weld cracking refers to a depression left at the termination of a weld where the weld
pool is left unfilled. Most forms of weld cracking result from the shrinkage strains
that occur as the weld metal cools. If the contraction is restricted, the strains will
induce residual stresses that cause cracking.
We can divide weld metal cracks into three types: Transverse, longitudinal
and crater cracks.
2) Distortion:
Welding methods that involve the melting of metal at the site of the joint necessarily
are prone to shrinkage as the heated metal cools. Shrinkage then introduces residual
stresses and distortion. Distortion can pose a major problem, since the final product
is not the desired shape. To alleviate certain types of distortion the workpieces can
be offset so that after welding the product is the correct shape. The above picture
describes various types of welding distortion.
3) Gas Inclusion:
4) Inclusion:
There are two types of inclusions: linear inclusions and rounded inclusions.
Inclusions can be either isolated or cumulative. Linear inclusions occur when there
is slag or flux in the weld. Slag forms from the use of a flux, which is why this type
of defect usually occurs in welding processes that use flux, such as shielded metal
arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, and submerged arc welding, but it can also
occur in gas metal arc welding. This defect usually occurs in welds that require
multiple passes and there is poor overlap between the welds. The poor overlap does
not allow the slag from the previous weld to melt out and rise to the top of the new
weld bead. It can also occur if the previous weld left an undercut or an uneven
surface profile. To prevent slag inclusions the slag should be cleaned from the weld
bead between passes via grinding, wire brushing, or chipping.
Isolated inclusions occur when rust or mill scale is present on the base metal.
Lack of fusion is the poor adhesion of the weld bead to the base metal; incomplete
penetration is a weld bead that does not start at the root of the weld groove.
Incomplete penetration forms channels and crevices in the root of the weld which
can cause serious issues in pipes because corrosive substances can settle in these
areas. These types of defects occur when the welding procedures are not adhered to;
possible causes include the current setting, arc length, electrode angle, and electrode
manipulation.[23] Defects can be varied and classified as critical or non critical.
Porosity (bubbles) in the weld are usually acceptable to a certain degree. Slag
inclusions, undercut, and cracks are usually unacceptable. Some porosity, cracks,
and slag inclusions are visible and may not need further inspection to require their
removal. Small defects such as these can be verified by Liquid Penetrant Testing
(Dye check). Slag inclusions and cracks just below the surface can be discovered by
Magnetic Particle Inspection. Deeper defects can be detected using the Radiographic
(X-rays) and/or Ultrasound (sound waves) testing techniques.
6) Lamellar Tearing:
Modifying the construction process to use cast or forged parts in place of welded
parts can eliminate this problem, as Lamellar tearing only occurs in welded parts.
