Chapter 2 Introduction of the Project

2.1 Identification of the project and Project Proponent

This is a new project for the manufacturer of Synthetic organic chemical (Butyl phenols) by well-

known business group “Vinati Organics Limited” (VOL).

Some of the recent achievements of VOL are:

Listed consecutively in Forbes Asia’s 200 Best Under A Billion companies for 2010 and

2011

Ranked amongst Top 10 Fastest Growing Companies in India for 2009 & 2010 by The

Economic Times.

Ranked among the Top 30 Fastest Growing Companies by Outlook Business in 2013

In recognition of exemplary growth VOL was awarded Inc 500 Certificate of Excellence

in 2012 & 2011 by 99 Media

VOL was accorded SILVER by EcoVadis towards Corporate Social Responsibility Rating

Vinati Organics limited are the major manufacturer of variety of specialty chemicals,

pharmaceutical intermediates and chemicals / additives with expertise in the field of synthetic

organic chemicals.

2.2 Need of project with description for region and country

Butyl Phenols are intermediates which find applications as raw materials for products that go

into a wide variety of industries such as perfumery, inks & resins, plastics and lubricants. Butyl

phenols are not directly used for these applications, but act as building blocks for making useful

products. VOL is planning to manufacture the following for butyl phenols:

a. Para-Tertiary Butyl Phenol (PTBP)

b. Ortho-Tertiary Butyl Phenol (OTBP)

c. 2,4-Di Tertiary Butyl Phenol (2,4-DTBP)

d. 2,6-Di Tertiary Butyl Phenol (2,6-DTBP)

Almost all quantity of butyl phenols used in India is imported. Around 35-40% of the total

quantity finds application in the perfumery industry. Around 15% is used for plastic additives

and the remaining butyl phenols are used for inks/resins and lubricants.

Indian Butyl Phenols Scenario

India is a net importer of butyl phenols. By volume, PTBP is the largest product amongst the four

butyl phenols. It is mostly imported from Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Russia. There are

majorly 2 grades of PTBP imported into India– Technical grade used for perfumery application

and Standard grade that is used in resin/ink application.

OTBP come second by volume amongst these four butyl phenols. It goes entirely into

manufacturing of perfumery products. All leading Indian perfumes manufacturing companies

are users of OTBP. This product is imported from Switzerland and Taiwan.

The use of 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP is currently smaller by volume. These two products are used

for manufacturing antioxidants which are used as additives for plastics. With increasing use of

plastics and composites in India, the use of these butyl phenol based antioxidants is expected to

grow rapidly. 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP are imported into India from Switzerland, Taiwan,

Singapore and China.

The total demand of these butyl phenols in India is currently 20,500 MTPA.

In India, currently, there are no manufacturers for butyl phenols. Previously, companies like

Herdillia (Now SI Group), Balmer Lawrie, Naik Naware Chemical Pvt Ltd tried to manufacture

these products. However, due to lack of scale, IB supply constraint, they couldn’t manufacture

products economically.

Butyl Phenol import trend in India is as follows:

Butyl Phenol India imports


6

In FY 2014-15 and FY 2015-16, India spent around $ 45 million and $ 35 million respectively for

importing the butyl phenols. VOL will help save so much foreign exchange in case the plant is

operational.

In addition to this, because of the availability of raw materials like 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP, there

will be an increased manufacturing of antioxidants and UV stabilizers in India. These

antioxidants which are currently being imported into India will be manufactured in India

eventually adding to the self-sufficiency and additional foreign currency savings besides

generating employment opportunities.

Global Butyl Phenol market and past trends:

Globally, Butyl Phenols are well known compounds widely used in numerous applications.

While, in India PTBP and OTBP are large volume products, globally, 2,6-DTBP and 2,4-DTBP are

large volume products. Globally, these di-tertiary butyl phenols are widely used in lubricants,

plastic additives and fuel additives The use of 2,6-DTBP as a jet fuel additive is a large volume

application globally. Globally, PTBP is also used in poly carbonate manufacturing.

Some companies that are large volume manufacturers of butyl phenols are SI Group, BASF,

Songwon, Oxiris, Chemtura/ Addivant, Eutec, Kaoching, Tasco, DIC. Almost all these butyl phenol

manufacturers are forward integrated and they also manufacture antioxidants for plastics and

lubricants from di tertiary butyl phenols.

The estimated capacity of butyl phenols globally is close to 400000 TPA. However, since a large

quantity of butyl phenols are captively consumed, estimating the exact production of butyl

phenols globally is not possible.

Market Scenario for Lili aldehyde:

Lily Aldehyde

Lilial is a chemical compound commonly used as a perfume in cosmetic preparations and

laundry powders. The name of the compound is p-tert-Butyl-alpha-methylhydrocinnamic

aldehdye (BMHCA) or (2-(4-tert-butylbenzyl) propionaldehyde).[CAS no. 80-54-6]

The product is known based on brand names of global manufacturers like Lysmeral [BASF],

Lilestralis [Kalama] and Lilial [Kuraray].

The R enantiomer of the compound has a strongly diffusive fresh, light, green floral, reminiscent

of lily (Also called Lily of the valley)

Applications:


7

Its strong diffusivity makes it invaluable for use in soaps and detergents. Leading FMCG soaps

and detergent manufacturers are the users of formulated lily aldehyde. Other than soaps and

detergents, the product is also used in cleaning agents, fine fragrances, cosmetics and air

fresheners. It may also be used as a perfumery ingredient is various coatings and paints,

fillers/plasters, ink/toners, polishes/wax blends and scented articles (clothes, eraser, toys,

paper articles, CD).

While most of the applications of lily aldehyde are related to personal care and perfume

applications, there is a small demand of this product in agrochemical industry as an intermediate

to make weedicide.

Indian market and global market

At present, there is no manufacturer of lily aldehyde in India and current imports of this product

in India are close to 800 metric tons per annum. In India, all the lily aldehyde that is imported is

used in the personal care industry in the form of perfume/ fragrance. In India, the product is not

currently used in agrochemical industry.

The global market for this product is close to 20000 metric ton per annum. The global demand

of this product is estimated to remain stable or slightly decline. The Indian market of this

product is expected to remain constant or grow moderately.

The raw materials for this product are p-tertiary butyl benzaldehyde, propionaldehyde and

hydrogen. Propionaldehyde is a widely traded product in India and is readily available. VOL is

going to establish a plant to make p-tertiary butyl benzaldehyde and hydrogen plant is also

proposed to be established by VOL. VOL is proposing to establish a plant of close to 2000 Ton

per annum of which half will be used for import substitution and other half will be for exports.

2.3 Brief Description of Project

Size: It is proposed to produce following products at the existing site at lote after removal of

plan to produce Tertiary Butyl Alcohol due to place constraints which was considered in recently

issued EC letter to this site Ref. SEAC-2015/CR-236/TC-2 dated 28.06.2016.

The proposed products are summarized below

Sr. No Product / By product Proposed production capacity (TPA) Product

1 Butyl Phenols 39,000 2 Para tertiary Butyl Benzaldehyde 2,000

3 Lili-Aldehyde 2,000 Total 43,000 By Products

1 Aluminum Sulphate (Solution) 1980


8

2.4 Export Possibility

VOL would like to install a capacity of 39,000 MTPA for the 4 butyl phenols put together. Out of

these around 20,500 MTPA is the current Indian demand while the remaining 18,500 MTPA will

be for exports. Since 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP have huge demand globally, it will be possible to

export these products. Some of the target customers for di tertiary butyl phenols could be Cytec,

Everspring, Omnova, Adeka, etc.

Due to the availability of butyl phenols in India, eventually, there will be an increased production

of downstream derivatives of butyl phenol which will lead to more export possibilities.

2.5 Employment Generation due to Project (Direct and indirect)

The proposed establishment of plant at plot A-20 MIDC, Lote will certainly lead to increase in

employment generation. We will have employment generation for operation, maintenance,

Packaging, Dispatch, administration etc. We estimate that there will be a net generation of

around 120 jobs on account of this project. Also there is great potential for employment in the

downstream industries.

3.3 Project Description with Processes Details:

For Butyl Phenols:-

Manufacturing Process: Broad manufacturing process of the chemical (Butyl Phenols) is

described and depicted below.


11

Ortho tertiary Butyl Phenol & 2, 6 Di tertiary butyl phenols:- Phenol dehydration followed by

Aluminum phenoxide preparation & Alkylation of phenol with Iso-butylene to form maximum

of OTBP (Ortho tertiary butyl phenol) & 2,6 DTBP( 2,6 di tertiary butyl phenol). In this process

there is release of H2 gas & formation of Aluminum sulphate as by product during reactive

extraction with dilute sulphuric acid.

Para tertiary Butyl Phenol:- In this process catalytic alkylation of phenol with Isobutylene in

continuous vertical catalytic reactor to form maximum of PTBP(Para Tertiary Butyl Phenol).

There is no downstream process for this reaction; product mixture will be sent directly to

separation section.


12

2,4 di Butyl Phenol:- In this process catalytic alkylation of Phenol with Iso butylene followed by

extraction of liquid catalyst with DM water & product stream will go to distillation / Separation

section.

Downstream separation:-

Product mix from PTBP will be directly go to separation section where unreacted Phenol &

heavies will be separated to get pure PTBP as liquid form. This molten PTBP will be further send

to flakers & packing section.

Product mix generated from OTBP/2,6 DTBP reaction scheme & 2, 4, DTBP scheme will be mixed

together & then separation of desired product from product mix will be done with removal of

unreacted phenol & heavies to get pure OTBP,2,6DTBP & 2,4DTBP as pure product which will

be stored in respective storage tanks. All the 3 products will be stored & supply in liquid form

only.

For PTBBAL:-

VOL has already received EC for Manufacturing of p-tert Butyl Toluene (PTBT) from Isobutylene

and Toluene and also manufacturing of p-tert Butyl Benzoic Acid (PTBBA) by Air Oxidation of

PTBT.

VOL subsequently worked out with IICT Hyderabad (who have developed the PTBT & PTBBA

process) for partial oxidation process of PTBT.

Partial Oxidation process results in formation of p-tert Butyl Benzaldehyde also along with p-

tert Butyl Benzoic Acid. The brief process description is as follows

Desired quantity of PTBT/Acetic Acid / Catalysts and co-catalysts is charged in the reactor. The

mix is heated to desired temperature and then air is introduced for oxidation purpose. Partial

oxidation is achieved by reducing the reaction time.


13

After the reaction is over the mixture is splashed in crystallizer where PTBBA is crystallized out

and purified by washing/filtration and drying. The mother liquor after PTBBA removal contains

unreacted PTBT, acetic acid, dissolved PTBBA and catalysts, p-tert Butyl Benzaldehyde

(PTBBAL) formed. This is subject to distillation to recover and recycle acetic acid and soluble

PTBBA + Catalyst, PTBT and PTBBAL in last column.

For Lili Aldehyde:-

The major use of PTBBAL formed by partial oxidation is in manufacturing of Lilialdehyde (lilial)

which has main application in perfumery industry.

Lilial is manufactured from PTBBAL in two stage synthesis. In first step PTBBAL is reacted with

Propionaldehyde to form an intermediate aldehyde which on hydrogenation gets converted to

Lilial / Lili aldehyde. The reaction mixture is separated/purified by Distillation to get pure

Liliakdehyde.

9. Nearest Airport/ Airbase

Mumbai International Airport – 250 KM towards NW Pune Lohegaon Airport / Airbase– 134.5 KM towards NE

Proposed land use is allotted for industrial use by MIDC, Lote.

The project site does not come in range of Eco sensitive Area by MoEF

The project is not covered under CRZ.

The estate is located at sufficient distance from reserved forests and sanctuaries,

archeological sites and historical sites to ensure that there is no impact of industrial activities.

The land is in notified industrial area MIDC which is developed by Govt of Maharashtra. Hence

it has fully developed infrastructure required for running the chemical manufacturing units.

Company’s existing unit is running since 2001-02 in same MIDC area. The site/land/location is

well connected by Rail/Road and also has all possible communication networks. Manpower

(technical/ non-technical) is easily available. Social infrastructures like

schools/markets/residential areas/entertainment/medical facilities are well developed.

4.1 Climate:

Lote comes in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. The location climate is similar to that on the

west coast of India, with plentiful and regular seasonable rainfall, oppressive weather in the hot

months and high humidities throughout the year. The summer season from March to May is

followed by the south-west monsoon season from June to September. October and November

form the post-monsoon or the retreating monsoon season. The period from December to

February is the cold season.


22

4.2 Rainfall:

The regional distribution of rainfall is mainly explained by the relief of the land and the direction of the rain bearing winds. The supply of rain to the inland areas is considerably more than to the coastal areas. It becomes heavier or lighter, according to the nearness or otherwise of the station to the great Sahyadri range which powerfully attracts the rain clouds. Mandangad is, however, an exception though its distance from the sea-is just about 14 miles. The average rainfall recorded by this station appears to be quite high as compared to the averages of Deorukh, Chiplun, Rajapur and Khed which are so near the Sahyadri hills.

Ante-monsoon or "mango" showers occur in April-May. Although the amount of precipitation is small, these showers have great value in so far as the preliminary kharif operations are

concerned. The south-west monsoon is the main rainy season, commencing by about the middle of June and lasting till the end of September. Winter fall, resulting from the retreating monsoon,

is almost negligible, which explains why rabi cultivation is practiced on an insignificant scale. Most of the rabi crops are brought to maturity mainly by irrigation.

The length of the rainy season has an important bearing on the agricultural operations and output of the district. In a normal rainy season, there are about 100 rainy days. A substantial portion of which runs to waste because of its extreme concentration during a certain part of the season which reduces the effectiveness of the rainfall commensurately. From the point of view of agriculture, effectiveness of rainfall depends on many factors such as, the normal rainfall, length of the rainy season, occurrence of rain at the right time during the agricultural season, its spacing during the season, nature of the soil, rate of evaporation, etc.

4.3 Temperature:

Meteorological data are available for four stations in the district, viz., Harnai, Ratnagiri, Deogad and Vengurla. Being a coastal district the variation of temperature during the day and through the seasons is not large.

In the hot season temperature rises slowly from March, and May is the hottest month. With the onset of the monsoon, temperature drops by three to four degrees. Day temperatures during the monsoon are lower than those in the cold season. In the post monsoon months of October and November, day temperatures increase and days in November are as hot as in May. Night temperatures are the lowest in January. Areas within 20 to 25 kilometres of the coast are the most pleasant particularly in the hot months with the sea breeze blowing, nearly throughout the

day. Further inland during the hot months both days and nights can be oppressive and more so in the tract at the foot of the Western Ghats. Along the coast the maximum temperature rarely goes beyond 38°C (100.4°F) but in the interior may reach 40° or 41°C (104°0 or 106°0 F).

Winds:

Winds are very strong and are mainly westerly or south westerly during the monsoon. In the rest of the year winds blow from directions between north and east in the mornings and between west and north-west in the afternoons.

4.4 SOILS

The most predominant rock formation of the district is the Konkan laterite, formed from the original trap. It is an argillo-ferrugenous deposit and covers the major portion of the land surface forming undulating plateaus with a general elevation of 200 to 300 feet Laterisation has taken place under the hot humid conditions. Due to heavy rainfall, the bases have been leached away along with the silicic acid and hence the resulting rock is acidic in reaction and rich in iron and aluminium oxides with a silica-sesquioxide ratio of less than two. The hydrated iron oxides impart the red colour to the soils. Due to these geological formations the soils of the district are mostly lateritic which are found mixed with trapping soils in the north and shallow soils in the south. Along the coast are the alluviums. There are small patches of salt lands developed near the creeks. Lateritic Soils

Lateritic soils which are predominant in the district, vary in color from bright red to brownish red owing to the preponderance of hydrated iron oxides. They are always acidic, the pH value ranging from 4.5 to 6.5. Lime is deficient or almost absent. Usually they have very low phosphorus and potash content, but are fairly well supplied with nitrogen and organic matter. Their texture is loamy and depth varies from one foot to three feet. They are porous and not retentive of moisture and are found all over the district except in Mandangad taluka which consists mainly of forests. These soils, however, are found in several grades, which depend upon their (soils) location and the extent of admixture of different rocks. The following of these grades are of special significance.

Rice Soil

These soils have various names which are identified with their location. Those situated at higher levels are usually known as mal, while those at slightly lower levels are called kuryat soils. Near the water courses, which have a fair supply of water during the rabi season, are the panthal or vaingan soils. All these soils benefit by liming and give high response to the application of phosphatic and potassic fertilisers. Only a kharif crop of paddy can be taken on these soils. On the panthal soils, however, a crop of rabi pulse (wal) or summer (vaingan) paddy can also be taken.

Varkas Soil

These soils are situated on the slopes of the hills and are partly eroded, yellowish red and poor in fertility. Further, they are shallow in depth and coarse in texture. Ragi (nagli) is the principal crop in these soils and it responds well to supplies of nitrogen and phosphate. Cashewnut grows in plenty in this area. It is on these soils that the world renowned Alphonso mangoes are grown. On the mountain tops are the perennial forests, where the soils are rich in humus because of their being protected from erosion. They are reddish-brown in colour.

Coastal Alluvium

The coastal strips in Dapoli, Guhagar, Ratnagiri and Rajapur talukas are covered with soils of

recent deposits and are locally known as pulanwat. They are deep sandy loams and cocoanut

gardens and arecanut gardens thrive well in them. Paddy is also taken here to some extent.

Salt Land

Due to the inundation of the sea, a part of the coastal soils has "become salty. They are locally

known by several names like khar, khajan, kharvat, etc. In Deogad, Malvan and Vengurla talukas,

the entire western strips are salty while in other coastal talukas only salt patches which are

suited to the coarser types of paddy are to be noticed.

4.5 Planning in Brief

The expansion is planned at existing plot of the company, so no new specific / additional

planning is envisaged. The Green Belt area statement is attached herewith.

4.6 Proposed Infrastructure

There is no specific additional infrastructure required for the proposed expansion.

Power / Water required for existing as well new proposed plants will be supplied by MSEB/MIDC respectively. Company already has uninterrupted and stable power supply through

Express Feeder Lines however power will also be generated & utilized as per the need from proposed Co-gen plant. For solid waste disposal Company is already member of Hazardous Waste disposal center run by agencies authorized by local state government / pollution control board.

4.7 Rehabilitation and Resettlement Plan

Since expansion doesn’t involve relocation/shifting of any existing settlements on land, the

rehabilitation and resettlement is not applicable for this expansion.
