**Job Context & Major Challenges**:
Job Context:
Birla Cellulosic is a Green Field Project of Grasim Industries Ltd. conceptualized in the year 1994 and was fully commissioned in 1998. Later on in the year 2008, Unit has expanded its production lines from two to four through brown field project. The Unit has an installed capacity of 350 TPD of Viscose Staple Fibre and is one of the modern Viscose Staple Fibre producing unit of Grasim's Pulp & Fibre Business, with its four manufacturing streams of Viscose Staple Fibre, 263 TPD Sodium Sulphate Plant, 59 TPD Carbon di Sulphide (CS2) Plant, 400 TPD of Sulphuric Acid Plant, 40 MW (2x15 MW + 1x10 MW) Captive Thermal Power Plant and other auxiliary plants like Water Treatment, Demineralization & Effluent Treatment Plant etc.

The technology of producing Viscose Staple Fiber is of continuous nature. The viscose is produced from dissolving grade pulp, which is a product of certain selected species of wood. The viscose has got a typical characteristic to coagulate if heated or kept for a longer period without movement. Even slightest fluctuation and/or interruption of power, not only results in heavy production loss but also in heavy deterioration in viscose quality and thus in final product. The job has got great accountability of maintaining Boiler & Turbine including their Auxiliaries in healthy & available condition so as to ensure uninterrupted power & steam supply at all the time.
