AN INTRODUCTION OF FAUJI FERTILIZER BIN
QASIM LIMITEDFFBL is one of the largest granular Urea and Dap fertilizer complex in Pakistan,
built at the cost of US$469 Million in November 1993, located in Eastern Zone of
Bin Qasim. The plant is approximately 45km south east to Karachi City and it is
connected to National High way.
FFBL is one and only Fertilizer complex in the Pakistan producing DAP (DIAMONIUM PHOSPHATE) .It is the soul producer of Urea and Dap in the country
and forms part of Fauji group, one of the largest conglomerates of Pakistan. FFBL
and FFC jointly holds 63% of Urea and 51% of DAP share of Pakistani fertilizer
market.
FFBL increases its product capacity which is higher than the designed parameters.
There are many features of FFBL that make it distinct from any other Fertilizer
complex in Pakistan. It is the first granulated Urea plant and the first generating
60 HZ 110v power. Most modern state of the art instrumentation system like

Plant utilities
Utility plant provides the facilities to other plant to operate well and continuously.For that purpose it is included of following equipments and machinery and
departments
Cooling tower Power generation Filtration of water Supply of water and steam for the whole plant Chillers and hvac Compressed air for whole plant Dimin water, hot water Natural gas distribution Raw water storage Fire water Portable water
Now we will discuss major areas of utilities in description
Cooling tower:Cooling tower is basically used for cooling hot water coming from the plant of
urea or any other also using in the heat exchanger. For this purpose hot water is
injected from the top of the cooling tower and there are fans at the top of cooling
tower. Air from the fan passes through the hot water and takes heat, so
temperature of water will decrease from 43 c to 33 c.Total time of flow of water is about 15 minutes. Chemical dosing is also present in
cooling tower for cleaning purpose of water.
There are transfer pumps in cooling tower that supply water. 2 pumps for urea
and utilities, 4 for ammonia.

Power Generation:For power generation in FFBL there are 2 gas turbines and one diesel generator(in emergency). The capacity of power generation one gas turbine is 26 MW. First
time in Pakistan power is generating at 60 HZ. The voltage is 13800volts.
Gas Turbine
Major Components are
Self-cleaning type air filter Multi-stage axial flow compressor Combustion system Closed forced lubricating oil system Diesel engine storage system Natural gas firing system Fire detection and co2 protection system Seismic type vibration system Thermo couples for measuring critical turbine temperature
Diesel driven emergency generator:
It is used in a case that the gas turbine is not running and
to stop the plant from closing it is automatically on in 20 seconds and have
capacity of to operate the plants.
Air compressors
There are three air compressors in the FFBL under the utility section which
provide, supply and generate the compressed air known as instrument air and
service air.
Instrument Air

6/20
Instrument air is used in control values. It is moisture free air and used where
corrosion is not affordable.
Service Air
It has moisture in it and can cause corrosion. It is used for cleaning equipments
and to supply oxygen.
Steam Production
Production and supply of steam to whole plant is under utility section. Steam is
generated by two methods
Heat recovery steam generation Auxiliary boiler
Heat Recovery Steam Generation
Hear recovery steam generation is primary source of steam generation in FFBL.
The function of HRSG is that exhaust of gas turbine is to produce steam from the
exhaust of gas turbine. HRSGs consist of four major components:
theeconomizer,evaporator,super heaterand water preheater. The different
components are put together to meet the operating requirements of the unit. See
the attached illustration of a Modular HRSG General Arrangement.
Auxiliary boiler
Auxiliary boilers are used for maintaining the variation in the steam production. In
this forced drafts fans are used to provide combustion air in the burner. It is water
tube type. There are following components of auxiliary boilers
Steam drum Water drum Boiler tube Inner casing Outer casing Refractory Tiles Economizer Super heaters

Ammonia Plant
Ammonia Plant is the heart of FFBL or any other fertilizer company because this
plant is responsible for Ammonia production and also Carbon Dioxide which is
used in the manufacturing of Urea or in other words a shutdown of ammonia
plant means a shutdown of whole fertilizer company. Following are the names of
someof the major equipment under ammonia plant.
Furnace (Primary Reformer). Secondary Reformer.
Heat Exchangers (Shell & Tube, Flat Plate, Finned Type). Boiler Start up Furnace Start up Heater and many more.
Inputs:
1) Natural gas2) Air3) Steam
Outputs:
1) Ammonia2) Carbon dioxide
PROCEDURE
Desulphurization of natural gas. Crack natural gas in steam to produce hydrogen. Remove oxygen from air to give nitrogen in secondary reformer. Cool nitrogen and hydrogen in heat exchanger. Steam is removed and temperature elevated to 400-600oC. 2N2+3H2=2NH3

All these steps are being carried out simultaneously. All the procedure can be
summarized in a few steps:-
Ammonia, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid added in the pre neutralizer.This forms the slurry.
The slurry is added along with sand to the granulator. Here grains areformed by simple mixing.
The grains are then moved to the dryer where it is dried at 90oC for 2minutes. The heat is provided by the hot gas generator which maintains the
temperature.
Then with the help of belts this is fed to the vibratory feeder for screening. Only 1/3rdare on size and are moved to the de dusting section De dusting is
done to remove large lumps.
Scrubbing is also done to absorb ammonia by water. The oversize grain, undersize grain and ammonia water are all recycled.

Formation of urea
Urea is formed by reacting liquid ammonia and gaseous carbon dioxide at about
170-185 C and 134-125 bar pressure
2NH3 + CO2 NH2COONH4
NH2COONH4 NH2CONH2 + H2O
Equipments Of Urea, Dap And Ammonia,Their FunctionScrubber
It is a high pressure vessel where liquid ammonia is stored under pressure. Fatima
has the only one scrubber in Pakistan which has internal linings of Safurex. It is an
efficient non-corrosive alloy which can handle liquid Urea for a long time. It
separates reactive and non reactive gases.
Stripper
Carbon dioxide at high pressure from the compressor goes to high pressure
stripper. It is a high pressure vessel.
Reactor
It is a type of heat exchanger. In this horizontal type of reactor ammonia and
carbon dioxide react with each other to produce Urea. It has tubes inside filled
with steam.
Columns

It is a high pressure vessel for mixing and separating the things. Different type of
processes takes place in it at a time.
Priling Bucket
It is a conical spinning bucket where liquid urea is sprinkled at about 102m high
priling tower. These droplets come down and solidify by the cooled air. This
process is called drafting
Thera are two types of drafting:-
1) Natural2) Mechanical or Forced
At urea plant we do natural drafting.
Inter coolersThey are basically heat exchangers. At plant we have 3 types of heat exchangers
1) Shell type2) Fin type3) Tube type
A)PipesThey are the close conduits in which the fluid flows. They are designed to
bear only the internal pressure. For a pipe we define two things.
1) Nominal pipe size (NPS) , usually the outer dia of the pipe2) Wall thickness on some standard e.g. 5,10,25,STD,XS,XXSTubes
The only difference b/w a pipe and a tube is, tubes are designed to bear both
internal and external pressure of the fluid. In tubes we exactly define the
thickness.

B) FittingsFittings are tees, elbows, joints, bends, reducers, nipples, etc.
A reducer is a pipe of converging dia. At smaller size the reducer is called a
sweng nipple.
In reducer 90-100% portion is converging but in a sweng nipple only 30-50%
portion is converging.
C) FlangesFlanges are used to join the pipe. So basically they are pipe joints. They are of
following types
D)GasketUsed in flanges, exchangers, nozzles for sealing purpose.
They are circular, oval, and hexagonal in shape
E) ValvesThey are used for regulating and controlling the flow. Also used for
throttling purpose.
They are of following typesa) Gate valveb) Globe valvec) Plug valved) Check valve or valuee) Butter fly valve
.
Heat Exchangers
7/22/2019 FFBL Intern ship report
13/20
Heat exchangers are used to transfer heat from one media to other media. They
are classified on different basis. Thermodynamically they are of three types
Regenerative
We have a hot plate in this type of exchanger and the cooled fluid comes and
stays on that plate for a while gets warm and finally discharges,
Re-equiperative
Two fluids are separated by a plate. Hot fluid is one side of the plate and cooled
fluid is on the other side of the plate.
Mixed flow
Two fluids are directly in content with each other. For example cooling tower.
On the basis of service exchangers are of following types:-
Condenser
To condense steam from downstream of steam turbine.
Cooler
To cool the fluid. Cooling media is water
ChillerTo cool the fluid. Cooling media is a refrigerant
Types of Exchanger
Plate type Shell and tube type
Plate type
In this type of boiler we have two type of plates placed b/w the pressure plates
covered in the shell. Plates are very narrow. Warm oil is on one side of the plate
while water is on the other side of the plates heat is transferred from oil to the
water as a result oil is cooled.
7/22/2019 FFBL Intern ship report
14/20
Shell and Tube Type
In this type of exchanger oil is in the tubes and water is outside the tubes
contained inside the shell.
Values
Valves are used for controlling and regulating the flow. Valves are also
used for throttling purpose. We saw many types of valves such as; gate valve,
globe valve, check valve (NRV), butterfly valve, ball valve pressure safety valves.
Normally gate values have more height than globe values. For value testing API
598 standard are used in FFBL fabrication shop.
Gate values
They are used for on/off purpose. Gate valves should not be used for throttling.
As the hand wheel on the stem is rotated, the gate travels up or down the stem
on the threads, while the stem remains vertically stationary.
Globe values
Globe valves are probably the most common valves in existence. The globe valve
derives its name from the globular shape of the valve body.
Butterfly values
Butterfly values have a disc which rotate at 90 degree for opening and closing
operation.
Value testing methods
There are three types of value testing in fabrication shop.
Seat test
7/22/2019 FFBL Intern ship report
15/20
Back seat test Shell test
ScaffoldingScaffoldingis under fabrication shop. Its purpose is to provide temporary working
condition to work at some height by joining pipes. There are about three types of
pipe joint we see in scaffolding area in which there are
Swivel joint Spigot joint Fix joint
In swivel joint pipe can be joined at any degree, but in fix joint pipe can be joined
at 90 degree to each other. In spigot joint, it is basically used to increase length of
pipe to work at more height.
Welding in fabrication shop
Gas cutting area
For gas cutting acetylene cylinder and oxygen cylinder are used. When acetylene
burn with oxygen then it creates high temperature flame that can cut metals. To
check the percentage of oxygen and acetylene colour of flame is very important.Yellow colour indicate reducing flame and blue colour indicate oxidizing flame.
Plasma cutting
In plasma cutting plasma gas is used. Its flame temperature is more high than the
gas cutting flame. It has advantage that its flame is not oxidizing flame and so it
can use for cutting of aluminum also. There are two machinerysin fabrication
shop for plasma welding. One has capacity to cut of thick 0 to 6mm and other
have 0 to 32mm.
High pressure jetting machine
It uses the high pressure jet of water. It is used fro cleaning purpose where a man
cant do proper, for example for heat exchangers jet of water use for cleaning of
exchangers tubes.
Arc welding
7/22/2019 FFBL Intern ship report
16/20
Arc welding in fabrication shop are SMAW and GTAW. The difference between
SMAW and GTAW is that for shielding purpose tungsten gas is used in GTAW
while in SMAW on electrode there is coting which melt and create a gas shielding
area which protect weld bead from oxygen.
For root pass in arc welding electrode E 6010 is used. First root in welding isknown as gouging.
Automobile section
In automobile section of FFBL there are 3 cranes , one crane mounted belt load
truck, oil tankers and loaders.
In cranes one crane has load capacity of 55ton, other two have 20ton. They are
hydrocrane, with 6 cylider v type engine.
Load chart of crane depend upon the radius, angle and boom of the crane. If
crane have minimum radius, minimum angle and minimum boom length thencrane can carry maximum load.
Crane mounted belt truck have crane that can carry about 20 ton weight.
Machinery of Urea, Dap and Ammonia
PlantThis includes the moving parts of the plant. Their summary is as follows:
Compressors (screw type mainly) Pumps Steam turbines Gas turbines
Two types of pumps are used:
1) positive displacement (plunger and piston types)2) centrifugal type (mostly used)
7/22/2019 FFBL Intern ship report
17/20
The types of pump impellers are open impeller, partially closed impeller
and closed impeller. In pumps there are steam turbine pumps which are
run by steam turbines.
CouplingsThe two types of coupling are mechanical and hydraulic. The advantage of
hydraulic coupling over mechanical is that there are no jerks. Thermal plug
and fuse plug are two methods for the safety of the coupling.
SealsGland seal and mechanical seal are used.
Bearings Feeder Elevator (pulley and belt)
TOOL SHOP
Some of the tools are as follows:
