CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
situation. It is a one-on-one training located at the job site, where someone who knows
how to do a task shows another how to perform it. In antiquity, the work performed by
most people did not rely on abstract thinking or academic education. (Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia)
The best way to learn a particular work is to do it. Even parents or community
members, who knew the skills necessary for survival, passed their knowledge on to the
children through direct instruction. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) In the same reason,
most college courses requires a student to have his on-the-job training before he finishes
his degree. This course aims to train and orient students about the degree that they are
taking, as well as to give an overview of their future career. Thus at the end of the training,
OJT is very important to students especially to those who have no experience and
has just a little idea on how to do the job properly. Because unlike going to school to learn
things through writing, solving or reading, OJT will teach and show students the reality of
how to do and handle task or work – the reality of life. During this period of time, the
students will be exposed to the actual work which is, of course, related to the course that
they are taking. Thus, giving them the opportunity to apply and understand more the
theories and computations that they have learned in school. In addition, students will
1
acquire relevant knowledge and develop skills necessary for the job as well as techniques
on how to do it through the help of the experts around them. Also, OJT will enhance the
critical thinking abilities and discipline of a student who is conducting his training in a
company. At the same time, his ability to make sound decisions and evaluate pertinent
factors will be improved. Not only that, OJT will give the trainee the chance to immerse
himself in his chosen field thus would build up his competence because it can develop
professionalism in dealing his job and the people around him. The trainee will be able to
know how to adjust with other people’s personalities and attitudes, too. This is because
while working, trainees will meet and get acquainted with the real professionals and people
having different positions in the company, either high or low. In the long run, students will
On-the-Job Training requires effort and seriousness. Every little thing that a student
learned in the training can be applied when they will have their job in the future. Therefore
a trainee should take the OJT seriously as it can be a powerful tool for a person in preparing
when they take that big lift from being students to career professionals someday. On the
other hand, they will also be prepared to take the battle in the competitive world because
they already have the experience to do and handle the job in line with their profession.
As what we can see, most fresh graduate who have experienced the best on-the-Job
Training while he is still a student will be confident to apply a job related to his profession
because they know that they are equipped with skills needed for that job. Thus young once
who will become the future professionals should have a proper and the best On-the-Job
Training.

DISCUSSION
Initially, it was planned to be constructed in Hilongos, Leyte but the community rejected
the technology since the agricultural land areas were dedicated to rice farming. Later on, it
was offered and accepted in Montebello, Kananga, Leyte. The plant was constructed in
1972 with a rate capacity of 5,000 tons cane per day producing Raw sugar only. The Mills
and Power House are made in France. Its Boilers are Bobcock Made in USA while its

3.2 Practical Experiences
3.2.1Boiler Department
Exposure to the actual field of works in the field of mechanical engineering is very
important to the student trainee because it gives understanding to the real life of being a
mechanical engineer; taking obligations in a certain project and leading different people in
the field of works. On the first week, fourth week and the last week of the on-the-job
training the student trainee was assigned in the Department of Boiler (Figure 4).
combustion which is transferred into the working media (usually water) until it becomes
heated or a gas (steam). One could simply say that a boiler is a heat exchanger between fire
and water. The boiler is the part of a steam power plant process that produces the steam
and thus provides the heat. The steam or hot water under pressure can then be used for
transferring the heat to a process that consumes the heat in the steam and turns it into work.
12
HISUMCO is using a water tube boiler which means that the water is inside the
tubes and combustion gases pass around the outside of the tubes. The boiler of HISUMCO
assisted by his three supervisors, Engr. Ryan Cabelin, Engr. Rey Caro and Engr. Manatad.
During the operation they have a routine of duty to ensure and manage the operation of the
boiler. If PME Lino de los Santos is on leave, one of his supervisors will take in-charge of
his position to control and manage the flow of the boiler operation.
13
The boiler is consist mainly of two drums: the upper drum called “steam drum” and
the lower drum called “mud drum”. The two drums are connected with two tubes called
down-comer and riser tubes (Figure 5). Water in the lower drum and in the riser will
combust bagasse fuel which will produce heat and will then be transferred to the tubes
making the temperature raise thus resulting for the water in the upper drum to evaporate.
In the upper drum the steam is separated from water naturally and stored above the water
surface. The stored steam in the steam drum will automatically pass through the steam tube
and will then go to the super heater tubes which will leave the super heater header to the
designated area. Temporarily, the soften water in the storage tank will pump to the
deaerator with phosphate and sulfite chemicals added unto it to remove the impurities
carried by the water from the ground. Gravitationally, the water goes down to the suction
pipe of the feed water pump and leaves at the pressure enough to enter the water in the
steam drum to replace the water that has evaporated and escaped. Before the water entered
in the steam drum it was heated in the economizer (see Figure 5). When the flue gas or the
orange line hit the economizer tubes, a heat transfer will occur in the system causing the
temperature of water to rise. The water entering in the steam drum is already boiled and
carrying a vapor. The water is fed from feed water inlet at upper drum. This water is heavier
than the hotter water of lower drum. In the riser, the colder water push the hotter water
upwards. So there is one convectional flow of water in the boiler system. The superheated
steam from the boiler is used to drive the non-condensate turbines in the factory and the
exhaust gas will pass to the boiling house for cooking the mixed juice sugar. The exhaust
gas will enter to the evaporator inlet as the mixed juice sugar will pass through the fittings
inside the evaporator. Mechanically, the heat energy of the gas is enough to boil and cook
14
the mixed juice sugar and thermodynamically, the gas turn into a condensate water. The
condensate water will pump into the deaerator which serve as the continuous water supply
to the boiler and the water taken from the storage tank will cut-off. Some steam taken from
the three bar lines is injected in the deaerator in order to remove the non-condensable gases
from the boiler feed water. The principal gases of concern are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
ammonia, which are major contributors to boilers, steam turbines and condensate piping
corrosion problems.
The steam generated from the boiler is distributed (as shown in figure 7 below), to
the; a) boiler steam turbine with a steam flow capacity of 12-17 tons/hr which is enough to
drive the induce draft fan and the multi-stage feed water pump, b) mill section steam turbine
at second set cane knives and 5 sets of sugar mill. Each turbine can rotate around 6500
revolution per minute which is enough to drive the crushing mill and cane knives at desired
speed, c) power house steam turbine with a steam flow capacity of 38-48 tons/hr which can
drive the generator which has a capacity of 6 MW. All exhaust gas will pass to the boiling

3.3 HSIMCO’S REPAIR SEASON
HISUMCO, Inc. is the largest raw sugar mill in Leyte. They can produce more than
one tausand sacks of sugar per day during the crushing season. From 1990’s to 2014, the
crushing season of HISUMCO generally lasts about six months. However, beyond 2014 to
the present years the crushing season lasts only about three months. This is because of the
effect of “Yolanda” typhoon. After the crushing season, the factory will shut-down and
that’s the time that they will check and repair all the equipment in the factory.
During the repair season, the student trainee was permitted to do hands-on or actual
psi.
31
Figure 3.3.1b Boiler Furnace
The furnace is a component of the boiler that provides the heat that heats the
water of the system. HISUMCO is using bagasse as a fuel in the furnace. Due to high
temperature after the combustion process, the ash attached in the water tubes becomes
“clench” resulting to low heat transfer between the flow gas and water tubes. Every repair
season, the boiler management wants to remove the clench so that there is a great efficiency
During the training, the student trainee was part of the activity by removing the
ash and the clench inside the furnace. This was done for almost three weeks.
32
3.3.2 Department of Mill
assisted by his three supervisors, Engr. Jovani, Engr. Joryll de Dios and Engr. Alex. During
the milling season they are the in-charge to control all equipment using in the factory to
extract the mixed juice sugar from the raw material which is the sugar cane. On the second
and fifth week of the OJT the trainee was assigned here.
The milling of sugar cane produces raw sugar (brown sugar) and also by-products
such as molasses which is used as livestock feed additive and also to produce ethanol. The
operational manager of HISUMCO, Inc. are able to operate the sugar milling operations in
a cost effective manner. In addition, the mills generate their own electricity by burning
bagasse – the fibrous material leftover from crushed sugarcane. Excess electricity not
required by the milling operations is sold to the local electricity grid. HSIMCO, Inc. has
been a supplier of industrial ethanol for over 40 years. HISUMCO, Inc. also produces
fertilizer.
Figure 3.3.2a. Dismantling Turbine who Drive the 2nd Set Cane Crusher
33
Steam Turbine are considered as the heart of the Power Plant, because this is the
device which converts the thermal energy from steam to mechanical energy more precisely
as the rotational energy of the rotors or series of such rotors which eventually absorbs the
steam energy by virtue of its rotations which is the most vital component of a steam turbine.
HISUMCO, Inc. using impulse steam turbine which means there is no change in
the pressure of the steam as it passes through the moving blades. There is change only in
the velocity of the steam flow. This turbine has a capacity of 6500 revolution per minute
which is enough to drive the 2nd set cane crusher. During the repair season this was
dismantled to check if there are abnormalities in the system and the student trainee was
part of the activity. Loosen and tighten the bolts and draining the oil was done by the
student trainee.

After checking and fixed up all abnormalities in the system this was assembled as shown
assisted by his four supervisors, Engr. Reymund Lapezeros, Engr. Robert Castro, Engr.
Dinnes Ferales Jr. and Engr. McKinly Nahini. Maintenance officers they are the in-charge
to handle, to care and to control all equipment used in the factory. Among the three
departments where the trainee assigned the officers of the maintenance was the busiest
during the repair season because they were the one who do the monitoring and checking of
all equipment in the factory; in the boiler section, mill section, boiling house and in the
refinery area. The operational manager was targeting that the repair season would be done
within five months so that the season start again. Hence, the officer of the maintenance
35
On the third and sixth week of the OJT the trainee was assigned to this department.
The activity assigned to the trainee was almost the same with his assignment in mill section.
This was because the supervising officer of the trainee was assigned at the mill section.
The following are some activities that the student trainee was part of.

3.4 Learnings of the Student Trainee
The On-the-Job Training in Hideco Sugar Milling Company, Inc. has left
remarkable experiences and learnings to the trainee. These learnings are not only about
academic but also about the social and physical aspects of the trainee. All of these
In more than month of training, the trainee was exposed to the different actual work
in HISUMCO, Inc. in which he became familiar with the equipment they used as well as
its parts and functions. Also, he has learned to become more responsible, hard-working,
and his time management skill has developed. He learned that every task assigned to him
During his OJT, the terms that the trainee learned in school, especially those related
to Mechanical Engineering were used in the company where he was conducting his
training. Thus, the trainee learned to appreciate even the simplest lessons studied in school
as well as the importance of theories and formulas. He has also realized that everything
that was taught in school is an important tool that can be used in his future career.
Furthermore, the trainee also has developed his sociability skills. He has learned
how to deal with different personalities and how to cope up with them and with the
environment. He was given the chance to get acquainted with the employees of HISUMCO,
Inc. either professional or not. Being with them is a pleasure because they are the ones who
kept on encouraging and motivating the trainee to study hard and to do his best always in
every task that he`s going to do. And from them, the trainee has learned the importance of
following instructions, accept and admit failures and learn from them.
38
After the training, the trainee realized that OJT is not just a requirement to be
completed but an opportunity to show the skills, knowledge, and talents that he have and
This remarkable training will not be as remarkable as it is without the people who
helped the trainee during the training. One of these people that the trainee will never forget
is his Training Manager who challenged not just his skills and abilities but also his patience.
His Training Manager is a kind of person who wants everything to be done right away and
correctly. He doesn’t like one who has doubts on a task that is done. Because of this, the
trainee was always nervous whenever his Training Manager roamed around the factory
especially during the working hours. But because of that kind of Training Manager, the
trainee became more confident to do what he know is right, without doubts in it. Another
person that the trainee has learned something from is the Turbine Mechanic in the mill
section. Whenever he asks him to do a particular task, he always keeps on saying that the
trainee should do things slowly but surely. He never pressured the trainee to make haste in
doing the tasks that he has given to the trainee. Generally, all of the people that the trainee
has worked with during his OJT are all very inspiring. All of them left a piece of advice to
the trainee that he will surely keep in his mind and in his heart for the rest of his life.
The trainee really had a very meaningful and memorable OJT at HISUMCO, Inc.
39
3.5 Problems Encountered
Throughout the duration of the OJT, there are some problems that being
encountered by the student trainee both in the office and field. Each problem cannot be
predicted but it can be eliminated if it is being managed properly. The following problems
1. Workers not wearing proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Wearing of PPE
2. Some workers are smoking in the working area. The Company’s rules and
working area and that they cannot disturb other worker especially those who are not
smoking.
3. There are equipment that looks very old and is exposed on corrosion. The
management should maintain the cleanliness of the equipment in the factory because
4. The company lacks raw materials because lot of cane plantation in Ormoc city and
Kanangga Leyte were damaged due to the Yolanda typhoon. The company should
invest a capital where the farmers can borrow money from them so that the farmers

CHAPTER IV
4.1 SUMMARY
The OJT was conducted at Hideco Sugar Milling Company, Inc. located at Brgy.
Montebello, Kananga, Leyte from April 20 to June 03, 2015. During the OJT, some
objectives were established. Specifically: (1) To apply the theories and computation
learned from school; (2) To familiarize the types of equipment in the field; (3) To
familiarize the parts and the operation of the boiler; (4) Socialize and interact with the real
professionals and meet people having different positions in the company; (5) To gain
To attain those objectives, student trainee was assigned in three departments of the
in order to gain more knowledge through hands-on and actual observation. In the
Department of Boiler, the on-the-job training were focused on familiarizing the parts and
the auxiliaries of the boiler, knowing the distribution of the steam generated to the factory
and knowing the operation of the boiler. In the Department of Mill, the on-the-job training
is focused on familiarizing the equipment in the factory, familiarizing the parts, functions
and the operation of the steam turbine and assisting the mechanic by dismantling the steam
familiarizing the types of tools, bolts and nuts, assisting the mechanic in dismantling the
steam turbine, measuring the clearance between the bobbit bearing and the shaft using the
“plastigage”.
41
