Preface

In 5th semester of B.Tech petroleum engineering, learning about fertilizer industries was a wonderful journey. So much so that I decided to go to fertilizer industry for internship. And who better than GNFC can provide an opportunity to do so. So with gratitude here I present this report of vocational training at Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited. These three weeks of internship at GNFC has been a wonderful experience. This was my first vocational training and it couldn’t have been better.

During this internship I’ve seen for myself that how important part practical experience can play in developing skills and knowledge. I have seen the fundamentals and theory that we study in the classroom take beautiful shape as technology. How a process flowsheet on a piece of paper takes shape. I got to witness how so many ideas, science, technology and capital come together to create this gigantic facility. How each small or big piece of metal or instrument play its crucial role to run this industry. To run it constantly 24 hours a day and seven days a week, without harm and accident, how complexity it creates. I would be lying if I deny that this was overwhelming experience.
