Abstract

Environmental Value Engineering Concept (E.V.E.) is a proven disciplined approach for improving measurable efficiency parameters for any organization or a system. In this paper, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (O.E.E.) for oil fired crucible furnace, which is a metric for Total Productive Maintenance initiative, has been calculated. As this performance was below the expectation level and resulting into outsourcing of jobs at higher cost, the E.V.E analysis was taken under consideration for overall performance improvement of the furnace. This paper deals with the application of E.V.E concept has been applied for process improvement considering O.E.E. as a parameter in the furnace system through the usage of Oscillatory Combustion Technology. Few modifications in the furnace set up were also carried out and are experimented the furnace at different scenarios. The outcome of this work was a visibly clean exhaust, optimized combustion efficiency which not only saves the environment but also a lot of expenditure on fuel consumption. Successful implementation of this concept has resulted to achieve the best performance of the furnace in a cost effective manner. Keywords: furnace, oscillatory combustion technology, amplitude, frequency, emergy analysis
