Institute of Management, Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur

Graduated with a 65% grade, focusing on advanced concepts in chemistry and its applications.

Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

Achieved a 7.7/10 grade, specializing in process design and engineering methodologies.

At Kotputli Cement Works, fines generation issue resolved by optimization of MgO percentage and liquid content in clinker quality parameter.

At Rawan Cement Works, 9-year-old MS slag (10K) was effectively used in the process, optimizing Fe2O3 and 212 micron residue to enhance production efficiency and sustainability.

After notification of pollution control board for penalty, 23K bed ash used in raw mill by taking benefit of Al2O3 content in it and deficiency of Al2O3 in limestone.

Very low ratio of ASR during use of pet coke in kiln, leads to jam of cyclones. By use of red mud (having high K2O & Na2O) able to maintain ASR 0.8 - 1.2 in hot meal samples.

After analysis of ferrous limestone of mines, fixed ratio of 1st batch limestone and reduced pile LSF from 98 to 96, which reduced consumption of iron ore in raw mix ultimately increasing mines life.

By mixing carbon black with linkage and US coal in the plant's infrastructure, we increased the Total Substitution Rate (TSR) from 2% to 6%. This improvement enhanced fuel efficiency and contributed to cost savings in our production process.

Took project for increasing production of OPC-53 grade cement with grinding aid. Initial strength increased but no gain in latter strength due to optimum particle size distribution, hence no gain in production.
