1. Executive Summary

1.1 Introduction

M/s Vansum Industries is a group of companies having head quarter at Pune, Maharashtra. We

are a group of experienced Chemical Industry professionals providing original manufacturing

services on Manganese products. We carry out rigorous and immense production with the help

of our extensive in-house knowledge base and our highly qualified staff of chemical engineers.

We manufacture quality manganese products in bulk quantity. The chemical manufacturing

operations are simultaneously managed at two locations viz.

1) M/s. Kemtech Solutions Pvt. Ltd.(KSPL) at Pune, Maharashtra and

2) M/s. Reshmika Minerals & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. (RMCPL) at GIDC Panoli, Gujarat.

Company is regularly producing chemicals from raw Ore Manganese compounds at both

locations and has increased its market share over last 47 years.

RMCPL started its operations in the year 2010 by acquiring a 89,632.72 square meter land in

the year 2008 at GIDC Panoli, Gujarat.

As of today, RMCPL has occupied/utilized 8,739 square meter of land to meet market

requirements.

RMCPL is now producing ~ 60,000 TPA of Manganese Sulphate Solution to customers in and

around Panoli.

RMCPL wish to establish its manufacturing operation of Organic Chemicals and intermediates

at its site at GIDC, Panoli, Gujarat.

RMCPL has developed in-house green technologies for same. The initial lab and pilot scale

studies are successfully completed and company is ready to undertake commercial operations.

The products identified are not only based on green technologies but also have potentials to

substitute imports, which are sourced at present from China. Also, some of the intermediates

in-spite of imports shows a gap in demand against supply and hence the market potentials for

products are very encouraging. These observations are based on data obtained by RMCPL by

conducting market survey from reputed agencies.

2. Introduction of the Project

2.1 Identification of the project and Project Proponent

This proposal envisages establishment of current activities of RMCPL at Panoli, Gujarat. RMCPL

has conducted a market survey and based on recommendations thereof it is proposed to

undertake an establishment project wherein manufacture of organic intermediate can be

produced.

2.2 Brief Description of nature of the Project

RMCPL over last 2 years is rigorously working on developing greener technologies for some of

the organic intermediates. The selection of products is based on market survey conducted

exclusively for RMCPL by a professional market agency. The project involves development, scale

up and commercialization of developed technologies for products as mentioned in project

summary above. The project will be implemented at existing site at GIDC Panoli. All liquid,

solid, gases discharges are appropriately managed as explained in Annexure - V.

2.3 Need of project and its importance to the country or region

India is leading manufacturer of technical material for Agro / Pharma / Polymer / Specialty

chemical etc. industry. Most of the chemical industry in India is dependent on intermediate

supplies through imports particularly from China. In spite of that industry has faced severe

shortages for chemical intermediates due to factors beyond local controls. RMCPL has identified

organic intermediates imported in country in large quantities in-spite of some local production.

Some of the technical intermediates are short in supply since timely imports cannot be managed.

The intermediates identified by RMCPL will be mainly produced to bridge the gap between

demand and supply. Also, the innovative technologies when commercialized will also give an

opportunity to substitute imports so that valuable foreign exchange can be saved. The proposal

will also generate job opportunities for locals. The initiative taken up by RMCPL is mainly due

to strategic direction of Govt. of India viz. Make in India.

2.4 Demand Supply Gap

RMCPL has conducted market survey to identify the organic intermediates to be produced in-

house so that not only the demand supply gap is adequately covered but also, to ensure that

import substitution can be achieved. The market survey conducted clearly shows a gap of

almost 20-30% of Indian requirement. In addition to this, considering the potentials of import

substitution and further export opportunities the project looks attractive.

2.5 Imports vs indigenous production

Some of the intermediates identified by RMCPL for production are totally imported in the

country whereas, for others the dependency for imports is upto 70-80%. Only one or two

intermediates are locally produced and it is observed that production capacities over last 5 years

are stagnant and not increasing.

2.6 Export Possibility

At present country is not exporting intermediates identified by RMCPL mainly due to non-

availabilities of production capacities. RMCPL objective is initially to meet local demand and

export opportunities are not explored at this juncture. However, RMCPL will create in future

more capacities if export opportunities are available.

2.7 Domestic / Export Markets

As above explained in 2.4 to 2.6

2.8 Employment Generation due to Project (Direct and indirect) due to the project

Project envisaged by RMCPL is from basic stage involving procurement of raw material, storage,

commercial production in-house analytical backup, finished products warehousing and supply

chain management. Since present activities are running at its peak wherein no existing

manpower can be released for new project, RMCPL proposes to recruit additional manpower for

all the functions explained above. The head count will cover skilled as well as unskilled labour

which will be managed by a highly experienced and talented seniors. The operations at Panoli

will also generate job opportunities for indirect labour to support activities such as transport,

maintenance, fabrication, civil jobs at site, canteen and food suppliers and security etc. RMCPL

foresees around 100 to 110 jobs for direct employment.

General brief Process Description (to reduce nitro compounds to corresponding amino

compound)

In a stirred high pressure hydrogenation reactor having good mixing, internal cooling coil and

external limpet coil for heating is first thoroughly checked for tightness by applying nitrogen at

high pressure. Once this testing is done, transfer dry methanol to the reactor. Then transfer the

corresponding nitro mass (viz. 1, 3-Dimethyl-2-Nitrobenzene or 2, 4-Dimethyl-1-Nitrobenzene

or 3, 4-Dimethyl-1-Nitrobenzene). The agitator of reactor is started. Then the reaction mass is

flushed with nitrogen. Once the nitrogen flushing is over, then solid catalyst viz. Pd/C or Pt/C is

charged in the reaction mixture under nitrogen environment and mixing of reaction mass. Once

all the raw materials are charged, the reactor is evacuated with the help of vacuum pump. The

vacuum is released by nitrogen gas and the reactor is pressurized to 3 kg-g/cm2 with nitrogen

and the excess nitrogen pressure is vented after holding the pressure for 5 minutes. The

operation is repeated for five times to expel out air completely. Reactor is completely closed, all

safety gadgets are checked like pressure control loop, safety relief valve, rupture disc, hydrogen

gas leak sensors etc.

Then the reaction mixture is heated to desired temperature by passing medium pressure steam

pressure through the limpet coil of the reactor. Once the reaction temperature is attained, the

reactor is pressurized to the desired pressure with the help of hydrogen gas through auto

loading loop through hydrogen gas mass flow controller. Once the desired hydrogen gas

consumption attains desired value, the reactor is cooled by passing cooling tower water through

the internal cooling coil of the reactor. The reaction mass is further digested so that no nitro-

mass is left unconverted and the minimum hydrogen gas is present in the reactor. The excess

hydrogen is gas vented along with low pressure steam and nitrogen gas diluent.

The reaction mixture is filtered through the catalyst filter. The catalyst filter cake is washed with

methanol followed by DM water. The washings are taken in the reaction mixture. The catalyst is

recycled in next batch. The filtrate is subjected to recovery by distillation. Initially the methanol

and reaction water are recovered by distillation at atmospheric pressure. The recovered

methanol is recycled in next batch. The distilled water partly send to cooling water make-up.

The finished product is (amino compounds) recovered by distillation under vacuum. The

product is stored in nitrogen atmosphere. The distilled product is packed in the drums.

(Pd/Carbon). Then to this mixture 4-NOX and DEK are charged to desired quantity. The reactor

is closed and the reactants are flushed thoroughly with nitrogen gas. The reaction mass is heated

under agitation till 75 to 80o C. Then to it the hydrogen gas is passed to reactor, hydrogen gas is

allowed to consume. If required the reaction mass is occasionally cooled by passing water

through the jacket of the reactor. Hydrogenation is continued till no more hydrogen gas is

consumed. After the reaction is over reaction mixture is digested for further 30 to 45 minutes.

Then the reaction mixture is cooled and the catalyst is filtered through sparkler filter. The

catalyst is washed with small quantity of solvent. The catalyst is preserved for recycle in next

hydrogenation batch.

The filtrate and washings are charged to distillation vessel. The product is subjected to complete

solvent recovery under vacuum. The product is cooled and is taken in drum. The product drum

is flushed with nitrogen.

The distillate obtained in the above-mentioned flash distillation operation is subjected to

solvent recovery to recover and recycle the solvent. The water recovered by distillation is

subjected to gardening application or cooling tower application.

salicylic acid is then charged to the reactor followed by desired amount of liquor ammonia

solution is charged. The reaction mixture is stirred for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is slowly

heated till the boiling point, the excess water and reaction water is removed by azeotropic

distillation with toluene. The distilled water is send for disposal. The toluene is recovered by

distillation. The salicyl amide is stored in molten condition.

The molten salicyl amide is continuously charged to fixed bed catalytic reactor along with small

amount of nitrogen. The reaction product 2-cyanophenol and reaction water is collected by

cooling. This product i.e. crude 2-cyanophenol and reaction water is charged along toluene to

the azeotropic distillation facility. The reaction water is recovered by azeotropic distillation,

which is send for treatment. The dehydrated 2-cyanophenol is cooled by applying chilled water

through the jacket of reactor. The crystallized purified 2-cyanophenol is centrifuged in the

centrifuge. The crystalline 2-cyanophenol is then dried in a vacuum drier. The mother liquor is

subjected to recovery of second crop 2-cyanophenol. Finally the toluene is recovered by

distillation and recycled. The residue of distillation column is send for solid waste disposal

facility.

Brief Process Description

The reactor is charged with desired amount 1-Octanol. Then to the reactor is charged with the

catalyst. The agitator of the reactor is started with high intensity for better mixing of catalyst

and 1-Octanol. Then the reactor is heated to desired temperature by passing steam through the

jacket of reactor. Then the reactor is pressurized with oxygen gas to the desired pressure and

allowed to consume the pressure. The operation is repeated by pressurizing with oxygen till

desired consumption takes place. The reaction temperature is continuously maintained by

cooling the reaction mixture by passing cooling water through the jacket of reactor.

Once the reaction is complete, the reaction mass is cooled, depressurized and filtered through

the filter. The crude 1-Octanoic acid distilled under reduced pressure, the water of reaction is

recovered and disposed followed by excess 1-Octanol is recovered and recycled. Finally 1-

Octanoic acid is recovered and the distillation residue is subjected to incineration.
