2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 Brief Description of the Project

Spectrum Dyeing (P) Limited is planning Greenfield Manufacturing facility at village Suryapur, Tehsil &

District 24 Parganas (N), West Bengal

2.2 Need for the project and its importance to region

Among chemicals, Global Dyestuff industry is a multi billion industry and comprises of products

including Dyes, Pigments and Intermediates. Market demand for dye and dye intermediates is growing

at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4-5% globally.

Dyestuff can be used for Printing inks, plastics, textiles, paper and foodstuff. Today, the markets for

dyes are predominantly dominated by reactive as well as disperse dyes and in future also these two

types of dyes are expected to grow further. With nations like China, South Korea and Taiwan emerging

as strong players in field of disperse dyes, India has taken lead in production of reactive dyes as the

availability of an intermediate called vinyl sulphone in the country. Presently, the dye and dye

intermediaries industry has grown as an integral part of many industries operating in the market.

With the current size of approximately $108 billion, the Indian chemical industry accounts for about 3%

of the global chemical industry. In terms of volume, India is the third-largest producer of chemicals in

Asia, after China and Japan. In the base case scenario, with current initiatives of industry &

government, the Indian chemical industry could grow at 11% p.a. to reach size of $224 billion by 2017.

2.3 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project

The proposed project is manufacturing unit and as such will generated direct as well as indirect

employment and will benefit local /nearby persons.

Spectrum Dyeing (P) Limited, WB generates the employment on various levels time to time and gives

the priority to local persons.

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Type of Project including interlinked and interdependent projects, if any

The Proposed Project comes under „Section 5(f)‟ Synthetic organic chemicals industry (dyes & dye

intermediates; bulk drugs and intermediates excluding drug formulations; synthetic rubbers; basic organic

chemicals, other synthetic organic chemicals and chemical intermediates)

As per EIA notification dated 14th September 2006 and its amendment on 1

st December 2009, project is

located outside the notified industrial area/estate; therefore project comes under in category A.

No interlinked project.

3.2 Location (specific location and project boundary & project lay out) with coordinates

Spectrum Dyeing (P) Limited is planning Greenfield Manufacturing facility at village Suryapur, Tehsil &

District 24 Parganas (N), West Bengal. Proposed project is located at 22°44‟44.86” N & 88°25‟16.11”E.

Figure 1 : Location map

Figure 2: Site Details

3.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site,

particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted

There is no interlinked project.

Since the objective is to manufacture Synthetic Organic Chemicals, a lush green & friendly environment is

being selected for installing the plant. The salubrious pollution free climate of West Bengal makes it an

ideal location for the health and medical care industry.

The project is not likely to cause any significant impact to the ecology of the area since adequate

preventive measures will be adopted to control various pollutants within permissible limits. Green belt

development around the area has been and shall be taken up as an effective pollution mitigative technique.

solution 75 MT/Month From H-acid

5 Iron sludge 250 MT/Month From H-acid

3.5 Technology and Process Description

H-Acid:

Sulphonation:

The Sulphonation is carried out in a C.I. Sulphonator; Naphthalene is heated with Sulfuric Acid and Oleum

(65%) at a temperature of 80oC, 145

oC, 160

oC. Trisulfonation takes place and Naphthalene – 1,3,6 sulfonic

acid is formed. A little water is added and the sulfonated mass is blown in to the nitrator.

Nitration:

The Nitration is carried out in SS Nitrator. The sulfonated mass is cooled at 40oC. Nitric Acid 60% is added

keeping temperature between 40oC-45

oC. Nitration takes place and 8 Nitro Naphthalene 1-3-6 Sulfonic

Acid is formed. The nitrated mass is brought to the neutralizer.

Neutralization:

The Neutralization is carried out in a MSRLTL vessel. Water and Sodium Sulphate is charged into the

neutralizer. The nitrated mass from nitrated is received. As the temperature rises to 72 to 75oC, NOx fumes

are generated. The gases are thoroughly scrubbed.

Lime slurry is then added. The excess Sulfuric Acid is neutralized and Calcium Sulfate is formed. The

neutralized slurry is heated to 90oC and filtered in vertical filter/belt filter. The gypsum cake is washed with

hot water. The filtrate and washes containing the Sodium Salt of 8 Nitro Naphthalene 1-3-6 Trisulfonic Acid

(Nitro Solution) is taken for reduction. Gypsum cake is stored in allotted areas.

Reduction:

The Reduction is carried out in a MSRLTL vessel. Water, Iron Powder and Acetic Acid is charged into the

reduction vessel. The mass is heated to 95oC. Nitro solution is gradually added at 95-98

oC. During

reduction, 8 Amino Naphthalene 1, 3, 6 Trisulfonic (Amino Solution) is formed. Soda Ash is added to

precipitate soluble iron salts into iron oxide. The reduction mass is filtered in vertical filter press. Iron oxide

sludge is washed well with hot water. The filtrate and washes is taken for concentration and iron sludge is

stored in allotted areas.

Catalytic Hydrogenation Reaction (substitute Process) is in our R&D under development.

Concentration:

The Amine Solution contains about 13 to 15% 8 Amino Naphthalene 1,3,6 Trisulfonic Acid. This is

concentrated in SS triple effect falling film evaporated to amine content of 42 to 43%. The concentrated

amine solution is taken for alkaline fusion.

Methanolic Solvent Fussion:

The Methanolic Solvent Fussion reaction is carried out in a MS Auto Clave. Concentrated Amine solution is

heated with caustic soda lye, start the distillation. Draw the maximum water from the amine solution and

this concentrated amine solution is heated with Methanol with temperature 185oC to 190

oC and at 26 to 28

Kg/cm2 pressure.

Acid Isolation:

Isolation (Crystallization) is carried out in a MSRLTL vessel. Water and Dilute Spent is charged into the

vessel. The fusion mass is gradually received. During isolation H-Acid is precipitated. Sulphur Dioxide is

generated. The gases are scrubbed. The isolated slurry is maintained at 90-95oC & pH 1-1.5. After

compete removals of Sulphur Dioxide, the slurry is cooled at 60oC and filtered on Belt Filter. The filter cake

is dried in spray dryer. The H-Acid cake is washed well with water. The filtrate is taken to the Zero Effluent

Discharge Plant (ZED plant) for treatment.

Manufacturing of Vinyl Sulphone

In reduction vessels the slurry of sodium bisulphate, caustic lye and water is prepared and gradual

addition of wet cake of ASC is carried out. The pH is maintained around 7 using little quantity of

sulphuric acid and temperature is maintained around 55 0C using circulation chilled water.

The reacted mass from reduction vessel is taken to another reactor for carrying out condensation

with ethylene oxide with sulphuric acid. The temperature is maintained around 50 0C using cooling

water recirculation.

The condensed mass is vacuum filtered. The filtrate containing about 15 to 20% of Glauber salt is

taken for recovery of Glaubber salt and the rest of the filtrate is sent to the incinerator for zero

discharge.

The wet cake of condensed mass is dried.

5.2 Residential Area (non-processing area)

Not Applicable

5.3 Green belt

33% of total plot area will be developed as greenbelt.

5.4 Drinking water management (source & supply of water)

Water will be sourced from bore well at site. The area is safe area as per Central Ground Water Board

Classification.

5.5 Sewage system

Sewage Treatment System shall be set up at site.

5.6 Industrial waste management

Generated waste has been categorized in below categories

Domestic waste

Solid waste (Non hazardous)

Hazardous waste

Solid waste: there is no solid waste generated in the conventional manufacturing process of vinyl sulphone. In conventional liquid effluent treatement process gypsum sludge is generated. In the proposed process, solid waste is generated in clarification step after reduction.

Solid sludge is mainly containing filter aid, inorganic salts & some retained orgaincs & moisture. The organic impurties can be washed and dried solid sludge, which is containing inorganic salts, may be land filled with all precautions.

Hazardous waste:

Dye interemediate industries is one of the most polluting industries because some environmental hazards like as H-acid is liberated in chlorosulphonation stage as gas and needs to be scrubbed. Due to poor absorption recovery system, concentration of hydrochloric acid as byproduct is continuously decreasing. Excess of ethylene oxide used in condensation is hazardous and it is to be used in excess as large quantity of the some hydrolyses to glycols in presence of water. Mother liquor and washings after condensation contain glycols, sodium sulphate and sodium chloride. Also liquid effluent generated is toxic having high biological oxygen demand(BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and temperory dissolved solids (TDS), which is difficult to biodegrade, and solid waste generated is hazardous. Due to poor raw material storage and handling system, like

EQMS INDIA PVT LTD | APRIL 2014 19

as ethylene oxide which is transferred from ethylene oxide tanker to storage tank, large amount of ethylene oxide vapor escapes and it‟s diluted solution goes as effluent. Proposed Methods For Recovery And Treatment Of H-acid Emissions Hydrochloric acid gas is emitted from chlorosulphonation and drowning step is scrubbed with water in packed bed scrubbers. Hydrochloric acid solution is re-circulated by pump until it gets concentrated. Hydrochloric acid solution can be sold, if it is 30%. As the concentration of hydrochloric acid increases, recovery efficiency decreases. Packed bed scrubbers are not properly designed to provide effective surface area for absorption. No suction is provided for the gas. Packed columns are not properly cleaned and maintained. Recovery efficiency of hydrochloric acid is about 90%.

Proposed Methods For Recovery And Treatment Of HCl Emissions HCl gas evolved in chlorosulphonation reactor, sulphuric acid contactor and drowning vessel is passed through two packed bed scrubbers in series. Concentration of HCl is allowed to rise upto 30% in the first scrubber with re-circulation and then it is sent for sale. HCl acid solution from the second absorber, which is about 10% concentration, is then taken for circulation in the first column. Fresh water is taken in the second column. If any quantity of unabsorbed HCI gas escapes the second column, it is scrubbed in the third column by caustic soda solution. Scrubber solution at the third column is sent to effluent treatment, when the strength of caustic soda solution fall below 3% wt/wt. The exit gas is analysed for traces of HCl.
