In 1999 the foundation of the plant was laid and completed the whole building as well as more advanced technology machinery erection done and in august 2007 it started production. The plant was inaugurated on September 03/2007 and started producing its licensed products for its customers officially. As its applying very sophisticated machinery and advanced technology it is producing 36,000 bottles per hour of 300ml soft drink like Pepsi, Mirinda Orange, Mirinda Apple, Mirind Tonic and 7up are produced by the plant. Hawassa Pepsi Cola being distributing the products for local customers mainly southern parts of Ethiopia. . During the course of production of such products, a series of processes are carried out from the start to the end when a product is finally dispatched for consumption. These processes are carried out a serise of machines and their is also utillity lines help to prepare an ingredient or product to be consumed in the corse of production of a product. The power distribution of the plant is its main supply is EEPCO . Its contoll system is mainly PLC control system. The speed of AC motor generally depends on the frequency of the supply voltage and the numberof magnatic pols per phase in the stator. Early speed controls depend on switch in numbers of pols and contrll was only avilabel manually and in crud steps. Modern electronic inverters make continuselly variabel frequncy supplys possibel permitting close loop speed controll. For speed controol induction motor however, the supply voltage must cchange in unison with the feriquency. This requires special voltage/hertz controller. This systm of speed control is variabel feriquency drive(VFD).

Power distribution
Input 15kv from EEPCO which is step-down by two transformers to 380-415 AC. There is also a generator from main which used when power interruption from main supply. But this generator is not an automatic since the power from EEPCO fluctuates for small period of time which damages the generator. To protect the generator switch on/off manually. Then the voltage described above go to LV (low voltage) room which sophisticated and the voltages to all machines are distributed. Since the power (voltage) and current is in phase in any power system but here the current lag the voltage because of inductive load. So, it needs a compensation, that means the currents and voltages are become in phase by a capacitor. The power factor is about 0.97.

2.3.1
Hawassa Millennium Plant produces Pepsi Cola products i.e. Pepsi, Mirinda Orange, 7up, Mirinda Apple and Mirinda Tonic. During the course of production of such products, a series of processes are carried out from the start to the end when a product is finally dispatched for consumption. These processes are carried out by machines with the following capabilities: a. Unpacking the bottles from the cases 13
b. Case washing c. Bottle washing d. Electronically inspecting bottles for different tests e. Mixing ingredients f. Filling the product in to bottles g. Inspecting the bottles for fill level h. Date coding on the bottle showing date of production i. Packing the bottles back to the cases j. Conveying the bottles and cases in the whole process. Besides to the above machines, utility lines help prepare an ingredient or a product to be consumed in the course of production of a product. These include: a. Carbon Dioxide plant b. Boiler plant c. Chiller and Compressor plant
2.3.2
The raw material for the production of CO2 is oil. The process of production is started by burning oil in the burner. The flue gas which among other things contains CO2 and small amount of sulfur dioxide(SO2) is scrubbed in the flue gas scrubber where the SO2 is removed .From the flue gas scrubber the flue gas goes to the absorber where the CO2 is absorbed by a liquid solution of MEA in counter flow with the flue gas. The rest of the flue gas leaves the top of the absorber. To take the flue gas through this system an exhauster is installed. The MEA which is absorbed the CO2 is pumped from the bottom of he absorber through the ley cooler (MEA-MEA section)where it is preheated . It continues to the stripper where the CO2 is boiled out of the MEA. The stripper is connected with the boiler and from here the MEA which is now without CO2 is pumped through the lye cooler (MEA water section) where it is cooled down and pumped back to the absorber. The carbon dioxide together with some steam leaves the top of the stripper and goes to the gas cooler where the steam is condensed and the carbon dioxide cooled.
2.3.3
Air compressor
In this room two task is performed .those are : 1. Air oppression and 2. Chiller (Refrigeration) Let as see there operation one by one.
other molecules it should be filtered to get pure air . the mixture is separated by fluid oil(light oil) .after the fluid oil separate the mixture the air is moved to dryer. In the dryer if there is mixture in the air it is removed by the air filter. Then it finally stored to the air storage tanks. Then it is distributed to where it is needed.
2.3.3.2
Chiller (Refrigerator)
This is the second machine found in the air compressor room. Its function as the name indicates to cool the water for different purpose. The cooling operation is made by using Liquid Ammonia and Glycol. Since ammonia is a gas at room temperature it obtain as liquid at lower temperature which easily cool another liquid near to it. Here the cooling process have been done by conduction. The liquid ammonia cool the glycol then the glycol cool the water by conduction again. The refrigerated water is then distributed to the production area.

2.3.5.1
Functional description
The basic function of the machine is to carry bottles to the cases from the conveyor or away from the cases in to the conveyors. In automatic operation, the machine operates in cycles. In this mode, the following functional units are activated: a. b. c. d. e. Product conveyor Pack conveyor Insertion frame operating mechanism and crate centering device Gripper head with gripper head operating mechanism for inserting the products into packs Lift controller The movement processes within the functional groups run sequence-controlled. The functional sequence of the groups is partially carried out simultaneously. The working speeds of the functional groups are matched to each other so that smooth, uniform operation is achieved. In the following the operating sequence within the individual functional groups is described.

Functional Description
The function of the machine is to properly wash the bottles and remove dirt residing in the bottles. They are cleaned in such a way that a product is safe to be filled into.
Water Flow
Fresh water Cold water Warm water 2 Warm water 1 prejetting high-pressure prejetting
The fresh water flows like a cascade through the machine in the direction opposite that of bottle conveyance. By doing so, the contents of the tanks are continually rejuvenated. The alkalinity is continually reduced, and the temperature of the re-cooling sections is automatically and optimally graduated. A pressure reducer ahead of the fresh water valves optimizes water 18
consumption by ensuring that the fresh water pressure is maintained constant. The fresh-water feed is shut off if the machine is stopped. This prevents unnecessary consumption of fresh water. The last warm water used for intermediate or caustic-free jetting flows into the preheating- section: This results in a heat recovery and at the same time a gentle pre-warming of the bottles. The waste water generated during operation of the machine is led into the waste water tank via the overflow of the pre-jetting. With the waste water, the high-pressure prejetting for pre-cleaning of the bottles is operated. The waste water overflowing from the waste water tank is led into the drain channel. Synchronous Drive: Due to their design, the synchronous drives rotate in synchronization to the rotating field in the stator. The rotating field is specified by a frequency converter from a speed of zero up to the nominal speed. If the drive fails to start up despite repeated attempts, it is highly probable that there is a mechanical overload, e.g. jamming, chain maladjustment or blockage of the bottle cell carrier. The gearboxes are protected against overloading. Should the synchronous position of a drive become misadjusted, e.g. due to repair work or power failure, the machine is automatically synchronized during the next start-up. All drives are equipped with an absolute phase-angle sensor. Their position in relation to each other is permanently set.

The work task given to me by company supervisor was:1. To show how to re-wind an electrical motor based on the name plate of the burned motor. Normally they re-wind motor by using the method that they get through experience. The way they take data is not familiar with the course we takes. Data they takes from the burned motor are:a. Number of slots b. Number of turns(counting manually) c. Number of poles(counting manually) d. Differentiating the type of winding( lap or concentric) e. wire diameter(using micro meter) Disadvantage of this method is if the motor totaly burned out no way to rewind the motor again. But, I shows for the technicians how to re-wind the motor from the name plate of the burned motor. Data used for this method are:a. Power factor (cos ) b. Motor speed (in rpm) c. Operation current and voltage 2. Whenever there was a technical problem and break down in the plant I have a duty to take part how to solve the problem. To mention some of them:a. In Co2 plant, the problem was the frequency converter(FC) of the exhauster motor not functioned properly. We tried to know the problem and the problem was the 2f capacitor on the FC burned. Finally we fix the problem by changing the FC by newer one. b. In boiler room, the problem was the water level sensor not detect the water level. We tried to fix the problem but we cant get specific problem, after some steps we decied to shunt the system. 3.

2.4.1 Control system principles 2.4.1.1 Open loop system (Manual control)
In an open loop control system the controlling parameters are fixed or by an operator and the system finds its own equilibrium state. In the case of a motor the desired operating equilibrium may be the motor speed or its angular position. The controlling parameters such as the supply voltage or the load on the motor may or may not be under the control of the operator. If any of the parameters such as the load or the supply voltage are changed then the motor will find a new equilibrium state, in this case it will settle at a different speed. The actual equilibrium state can be changed by forcing a change in the parameters over which the operator has control.
the reference state an error signal is generated which the controller uses to forces a change in the controllable parameters to eliminate the error by driving the system back towards the desired operating point.
2.4.2
There are many and diverse reasons for using variable speed drives. In general, variable speed drives are used to: Match the speed of a drive to the process requirements Match the torque of a drive to the process requirements Save energy and improve efficiency The needs for speed and torque control are usually fairly obvious. Modern electrical VFDs can be used to accurately maintain the speed of a driven machine to within 0.1%, independent of load, compared to the speed regulation possible with a conventional fixed speed squirrel cage induction motor, where the speed can vary by as much as 3% from no load to full load. The benefits of energy savings are not always fully appreciated by many users. These savings are particularly apparent with centrifugal pumps and fans, where load torque increases as the square of the speed and power consumption as the cube of the speed. Substantial cost savings can be achieved in some applications. The general wiring diagram of a load with variable frequency drive includes the power supply, protection devices, the frequency drive itself, the motor and the load.
Figure 3.2 wiring diagrm of FVD In actual diagrams, the variable frequency drive includes particularly the following modules: The rectifier module where AC is converted to DC The DC link module where the rectified DC is smoothened by a capacitors and inductors The pre-charge module where the capacitor is pre-charged by a DC power before the actual power is connected to protect it from damaging surge. The inverter module where the DC is converted back to AC of variable frequency The controller module which controls the proper functionality of the drive and monitors the drive for any undesired status e.g. over voltage, ground fault, over temperature etc
37
Figure 3.3 variable frequency drive The speed of an AC induction motor can be controlled by adjusting the frequency and magnitude of the stator voltage. Motor speed is proportional to frequency, but the voltage must be simultaneously adjusted to avoid over-fluxing the motor. The AC motor is able to develop its full torque over the normal speed range, provided that the flux is held constant, (V/f ratio kept constant). A standard AC motor reaches its rated speed, when the frequency has been increased to rated frequency (50 Hz) and stator voltage V has reached its rated magnitude. The speed of an AC induction motor can be increased above its nominal 50 Hz rating, but the V/f ratio will fall because the stator voltage cannot be increased any further. This results in a fall of the air-gap flux and a reduction in output torque. This is known as the field weakening range. The performance of the AC motor in the field weakening range is characterized by constant power, reduced torque. The output power is zero at zero speed. In the normal speed range and at constant torque, the output power increases in proportion to the speed. In the field weakening range, the motor torque falls in proportion to the speed and the output power of the AC motor remains constant.

2.7 Challenge
The challenge I faced in the plant during the internship time was, almost all control systems controlled by PLC (sensors), that means these things are new concept for me. To go through this concept I think it takes to much time but I tried to come up with this concept by reading plant technical manuals, by searching from internate, by asking my company supervisor. Now I have a little concept about PLC and its applicarion.
39
3.1
Practical skill
Practical skills are developed by course design, coursework assessment, feedback, tutorials and seminars which endorses interactive and participative teaching. Before I joined my hosting company for internship I have blackbox image about the real world (industries). But in this internship I have seen the practibility of some of the thing that i have learned in only the subjuct matter; these are:a.Motors(squiral cage & synchronous) b.Generator c.Transformers d.Counter e.Timer f.Relay g.Contactor h.Overload Relay etc PLC
3.2
Theoretical knowledge
When people decide that they truly want to learn and master a new skill they need a book that is dedicated to that subject with details of materials, illustrations of techniques and explicit patterns to follow or design source books with examples. This internship have a benefit for an interns to upgrade thier theoretical knowledge. In this intership program I found many theoretical knowledge that is not familliar with us before; eg:a. PLC b. Sensors
Introduction of PLC
Control Engineering has evolved over time. In the past humans were the main methods for controlling a system. More recently electricity has used for control and early electric control was based on relays. These relays allow the power to be switched on and off without a mechanical switch. It is common to use relays to make simple logical control decisions. The development of low cost computers has brought the most recent revolutions, the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The advent of PLCs began in 1970s, and has become the most common choice for the manufacturing controls. 40
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are the control hubs for a wide variety of automated systems and processes. Programmable logic controllers are used extensively in diverse industrial applications ranging from machining to automated assembly. They were designed to replace the necessary sequential relay circuits for machine control. PLCs have been gaining popularity on the factory floor and will probably remain predominant for some time to come. Other areas of application of PLCs are industrial automation and control of industrial equipment. Most of this is because of the advantages they offer: a. Cost effective & Flexible b. Computational abilities c. Troubleshooting aids d. Reliable components
3.2.1.1
Programmable logic controllers function by interpreting data coming through their inputs and depending upon their state, turning on/off their outputs. They are programmable via software interfaced via standard computer interfaces and proprietary languages and network options. PLCs function using relay ladder logic programming. Unlike traditional programming in which command functions are read, interpreted, and performed in sequential order, ladder logic allows programmable logic controllers to perform any command within the loop at any time without executing previous commands. This allows PLCs to carry on their three basic functions: a. Control, b. Input, and c. Output - as needed. In addition to controlling output functions, programmable logic controllers are good for compiling data from many sources and uploading this data into a computer network.
b. the power of its CPU Program execution by the CPU takes place in 3 steps. It is called Process Scan Cycle. That is: Scan input image table (PII) Inputs are scanned and INPUT IMAGE TABLE is updated. Scan program CPU scan program Instructions sequentially. Update output image table (PIQ) CPU updates the Output Terminals. Self-diagnostic check is performed by the PLC system a. On switching power on b. Any fault is indicated c. Then the PLC starts the scanning operation
3.2.2

Communication skill
The purpose of communication is to get our message across to others clearly and unambiguously. In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success. In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively whether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. From this point of view without improving our communication skill there is no success on our job.

Teams need strong team players to perform well. Teams need people who speak up and express their thoughts and ideas clearly, directly, honestly, and with respect for others and for the work of the team. That's what it means to communicate constructively. Such a team member does not shy away from making a point but makes it in the best way possible in a positive, confident, and respectful manner. Teamwork has a dramatic effect on organizational performance. An effective team can help an organization achieve incredible results. A team that is not working can cause unnecessary disruption, failed delivery and strategic failure. Nowadays it is almost impossible to avoid being a member of team. If you're not on an official team at work, chances are you function within one in one way or another. So it's important for our personal and career development to know our team working strengths and weaknesses. This implies that team work skill is the backbone of team playing skill.

Recommendation
1. While I have been working in Hawassa Millinium plant the worker of the plant was complain about their salary,. This due to the company annual profit is good enough but the company doesnt give appropriate incentives for his worker . 2. The company doesnt afford any pocket money for the interns. But the company gain many use full services from the interns. 3. Finally I recommend the UIL to aware the hosting company about this policy.
