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.

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.

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.
