“TNPL has grown from an initial capacity of 90,000 MT perannum in the year
1985 to the current level of 245,000 MT per annum through capacity expansion and
machine upgrades. TNPL has continuously worked towards betterment of its
bagasse based paper technology and maintenance of its status as a globally
competitive low cost producer.
The Company has implemented the Mill Development Plan in May 2008.
Under the Mill Development Plan, a new 300 tpd stateof- the-art hard wood pulp line
with ECF bleaching and a 500 tpd ECF bleach plant for chemical bagasse pulp line
have been installed. A new recovery boiler of 1300 tpa, a falling film evaporator of
350 tpd water evaporation capacity, a new 20 MW turbo generator and a fully
integrated 15 tpd Chlorine-di-Oxide .
With the implementation of the Mill Development Plan, the Company has moved over
from conventional bleaching to Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) bleaching. This has
made the plant more environmental compliant, operationally efficient and cost
effective.
The Company has embarked upon the Mill Expansion Plan increasing the paper
production capacity from 245,000 tpa to 400,000 tpa. The Mill Expansion Plan
involves installation of a state-of-the-art Paper Machine with a production capacity
of 155,000 tpa of fine paper, backwardintegration of chemical bagasse pulp line by
installing high efficient washers for the brown stock pulp with oxygen
delignification, closing the brown loop to enhance the environmental performance
and installing a multi-fuel boiler with steam generation capacity of 125 tph. The
project is expected to be completed by 30.6.2010.
De-Inking Plant:
The lime sludge generation from the recovery cycle and the fly ash
generated from the power boilers are issues of concern in solid waste management.
An innovative solution of combining these two and converting them into high grade
cement has been drawn through installation of a mini cement plant within the
factory. The procurement action for the machinery has been initiated and the
Company is in the process of obtaining the environmental clearance.

Process Description:
2.Pulp Mill
The Pulp Mill consists of Hard wood pulping (HWP), Chemical Bagasse
Pulping(CBP) and Mechanical Bagasse pulping. The company has a facility to lap
50 bdmt per day of surplus pulp at 60% moisture for future use and sale.
a) Hardwood pulping: The Eucalyptus and other tropical Hardwood logs are
drawn from wood yard chipped and chips are screened and stored in the silo.
The chips are fed from Silo to Super Batch System (Digester) through a
conveyor and cooked with white liquor. Pulp from the digester area is sent to
the brown stock area. The pulp is screened to remove impurities and washed
in several stages to remove cooking chemicals and dissolved.
3.Paper Machines
Metered quantities of pulp are drawn to a blending chest for the
required furnish of paper in the stock preparation plant. The stock preparation
consists double disc refiners for post refining hardwood pulp and a control refiner
for refining mixed stock before admitting to the paper machine. The pulp is
deaerated and then pumped to the head box of the machine after centricleaning, by
a pulsation free fan pump through centri screen. The sheet formation takes place
on the synthetic wire with large quantum of dewatering. The water is send to the
saveall for recovery of fibres and reused in the system.The press zone configuration
is a "Trinip System" where the sheet is further dewatered to 40% consistency by
application of hydraulic loads.
The paper sheet passes through a four groups of steam heated dryers
to achieve the desired dryness. The paper finally passes through a four roll
calendar stack for controlling the surface properties of paper and subsequently
reeled onto jumbo rolls.
Converting, finishing and packing lines are designed for production of finished
paper in reelsor sheets and consists of a Winder for cutting & winding of paper to
the sizes required.The mill has installed 2 No. fully automatic ream wrapping
machines with a total capacity of 150 tpd, to meet the demands of A4, Folio, A3
size papers.
4.Utilities
a) Steam: The Pulp Mill, Soda Recovery Plant and Paper Machine need Low
Pressure (LP) and / or Medium Pressure (MP) steam for process. The required
steam is generated using solid fuels like coal, lignite, agro fuels, pith in varying
proportion. The steam generated from the service boilers and Recovery Boiler is
super heated steam and is converted to High Pressure Steam (HP Steam) by
injecting water into process. The HP steam so generated has to be extracted into
MP & LP steam by passing through Turbo Generators for use in process.
b) Power: The company has five Turbo Generators to meet its power requirements.
After meeting the in-house requirements, the balance generated power is sold to
TNEB at an agreed price.
c) Water: The company has a sanction to draw upto 16 Million Gallons per day
(MGD) from River Cauvery. The water is connected from the intake wells to the
water treatment plant
through underground pipe lines. The water is treated and drawn for use in process,
DM plant, soft water plant and colony.

>>>>>>>>>>>Marketing
Marketing
The Indian Paper Industry ranks 15th among the global producers. The
Industry is fragmented with over 600 units with capacity ranging from 3 to 700
TPD based on virgin pulp, agro waste and recycled fibre. This has resulted in a very
heterogeneous and competitive market. In an industry facing acute raw material
scarcity, high energy demands and changing customer requirements for quality,
TNPL enjoys 10% share in the Indian printing and writing paper market.
Marketing in TNPL has always been a “gateway” function. The
company has achieved “Zero Stock” during the past 17 years in a row. This was
possible through efficient “Production-Customer-Despatch” chain management.
The company has developed an effective in-house mechanism for order processing,
production planning, storage and material despatch. As the largest exporter of
printing and writing of paper in the country, the company exports to various nukes
and corners of the world.

Sustainable Growth:
TNPL has grown from an initial capacity of 90000 Mts per annum in 1985 to
245000 Mts per annum as of date in stages. Under the Mill Development Plan
completed during May 2008, the pulp production capacity has been increased from
520 tpd to 720 tpd. The bleaching sequence has been changed from conventional
bleaching to Elemental Chlorine Free bleaching. The Life Cycle Extension of Paper
Machine-I has been implemented.
The new Paper Machine will become operational from June 2010.
Every phase of growth is supported by latest technology and installation of the
state-of-the-art machineries. The Company has also planned to replace three old
boilers installed during 1984 with a new single boiler and install a new TG of a
capacity of 40 MW in replacement of two old TGs. The above replacement would
make the Company productive on energy front. These two projects would be taken
for implementation during the current year.
Financial re-engineering
Swapping the multi-currency world bank loan of USD 45 million into US Dollar
denominated FCNR(B) loan and reducing the loan repayment period from 10 years
to 5 years had resulted in a saving of Rs.39.95 crore to the Company upto 7th
December 2007, the last date of payment of the entire loan.
TNPL keeps the product mix in line with the market demand. Copier production
has been increased from 19311 Mts. in 2002-03 to 55504 Mts. in 2008-09
registering a compounded average growth of 19% . The elegant printing has become
a star product in both the domestic and the export market. Elegant printing
production was increased from 31926 Mts. in 2006-07 to 34160 Mts. in 2008-09.
TNPL has exported 33461 Mts. of uncoated Printing & Writing Paper
during the year 2008-09. TNPL has introduced superprint maplitho paper during
the year. This has become a printer's choice with considerable flow of orders. TNPL
also introduced 50 gsm papers during the year. An optimum mix of market sales,
direct sales and exports has enabled the company to obtain the best value for its
products. TNPL has framed a "Customer Care Policy". TNPL would be introducing
47 gsm papers in creamwove and radiant paper and 70 gsm copier paper during
the current year.
Innovation:
The bio-methanation plant commissioned during the year 2003-04 for generating
methane gas from bagasse wash water has generated 278.39 lakh m3 of methane
gas till 31.3.2009. The methane gas used in lime kiln in replacement of furnace oil
facilitated a savings of Rs.30.39 Crore upto 31.3.2009. The project has been
registered with UNFCCC as the country's first CDM Project in the waste
management sector.
Two phases of Wind Farm with a total capacity of 6.75 MW have been registered
with UNFCCC and 11233 CERs valuing Rs.1.00 crore have been obtained during
July 2007 to June 2008. TNPL has installed shoe press in both the paper
machines and a pre-metered size press in PM I. TNPL is in the process of installing
a 400 tpd cement plant for converting the mill generated lime sludge and fly ash
generated into high grade cement.
SUCCESS DRIVERS
Environment Management
Environment performance improvement has also been an area of focus of the R&D
and studies were undertaken to improve the quality of effluent. Decolorisation
studies of final effluent and other colored streams with Ozone were undertaken in
laboratory scale and on continuous pilot plant scale. The results were encouraging
and a plant scale Ozone decolorisation programme has been drawn up. Compliance
to pollution control norms and CREP regulations has been strictly adhered to.
Bagasse Management
TNPL requires around 11.6 lakh tonnes of wetwhole bagasse for producing
2,45,000 Mts of Newsprint and Printing & Writing Paper. To ensure that adequate
quantity of bagasse is generated, TNPL has entered into firm tie-up arrangements
with seven sugar mills for procuring bagasse on substitution basis. The depithed
bagasse stock as on 31st March 2009 was 356942 Mts. equivalent to 509917 Mts.
of wetwhole bagasse. No bagasse shortage is anticipated during 2009-10.
Depending on the requirement, additional tie-up arrangements would be made at
appropriate time.
Fuel Management
TNPL uses solid fuel for generation of steam and power. Besides solid fuel, TNPL
uses agro fuel such as saw dust, paddy husk, coir pith and coconut shells, both in
the main factory and the sugar mills. TNPL uses a judicious mix of imported coal,
indigenous coal, lignite and agro fuel depending on the availability and economics.
Water Management
TNPL sources water from river Cauvery. TNPL has optimized the water
consumption. TNPL has also installed series of rain water harvesting structures in
the factory and colony premises. The Mill Development Plan implemented in May
2008 has reduced the fresh water consumption to a considerable extent. The fresh
water consumption has been reduced to 62 Kl per tonne of paper production post
stabilization of MDP. Continuous action is taken to further reduce the water
consumption. The reduction in water consumption has brought down the treated
effluent discharge considerably.
Energy Management
TNPL has five turbo generators with a power generation capacity of 81.12 MW
including one new TG of 20 MW added under the Mill Development Plan during the
year 2007-08. Power required for process requirement is met from the captive
power generation. Surplus power is exported to the State grid. However, with the
increase in imported coal price, the power export to the State grid has become
uneconomical. Hence, TNPL has suspended export of TG power since September
2007 except a small quantity due to operational reasons.
Wind Farm for Green Power
Two phases of Wind Farm with a total capacity of 6.75 MW have been registered
with UNFCCC and 11233 CERs valuing Rs.1.00 crore have been obtained during
July 2007 to June 2008. The project has generated 55905 CERS upto 30.06.08.
11500 CERS are likely to be received for the period from July 2008 to June 2009.
Steps are being taken to register Phase IV & Phase V expansion of wind farm of
total capacity of 13.75 MW with UNFCCC. The methane gas generated in Bio-
Methanation plant is used in lime kilns in replacement of furnace oil.
Research and Development
The R&D has been working towards making world class paper with bagasse pulp
in various grades, focussing on the eco friendliness of the product.The R&D has
been recognized by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR)
New Delhi.
