THE PROJECT

Our group has finally finished our project work at BPCL cochin refinery.
The Ambalamugal refinery is really a place you have to see if you wanna understand the extent of work involved in petrochemical refining.The place is basically run by the chemical dept.
We were assigned to the engg. and construction dept. and our project was to design a pressure vessel.
The most remarkable thing that we all agree on is the all you can eat buffay lunch that is provided there for free.Samuel swears that he won't live up to 50 years with the amount of cholestrol if he were to get a job there.
Even though the lab exams interrupted 2 days of the project we completed it on time
and honestly most of the work was done by Jarly.
The design process itself is done according to ASME code.Section 8 div.1 is the code used to design pressure vessels.
The process is pretty much the same as that of machine design with the exception that the charts and
tables are a lot more complicated and there are a lot more components to considar.

The Braveman  is the name of the safety shoes that was issued to us.It's worth at least 3000 bucks
and really tough.Another group of 4(Anas,Joseph,Ananthu,Edwin)are leaving Monday I wish
them Best of luck.
P.S :If you guys miss breakfast don't worry,the lunch at the refinery will be more than enough
