Need of the Project and Its Importance to the country and/or


Region
All the products proposed above are imported to India on a regular basis. The quantum
of imports varies from product to product, but the manufactured goods will be import
substitutes.

Amongst the products proposed, hydrogenated products, Phosphorus Pentasulphide


and ZDDP are already being manufactured at the company’s current facility near
Khopoli, Dist: Raigad, Maharashtra.

The additional products proposed are forward integration of the company’s current
products and have a great demand both global and domestic. The demand is envisaged
to increase rapidly in the domestic market.

Demand – Supply gap


All the products Manufactured and proposed to be manufactured are being imported in
the country and have a high demand in the domestic markets

Imports vs indigenous production


Currently India is a net importer of all the products proposed and thus the proposed
expansion can lead to reduced foreign exchange and open opportunities in the domestic
markets for other downstream products

Export Possibility
The products can be exported thus leading to forex revenues for the country

Domestic / Export market


All the products Manufactured and proposed to be manufactured are being imported in
the country and have a high demand in the domestic markets. The demand is also high
in the export market and can be catered to with the proposed expansion

The proposed expansion of Prasol Chemicals Private Limited shall be located at its
existing facility located at Survey No. 8,13,15,16,25,75, Tal Khalapur Dist Raigad,
Maharashtra. The plant facility is located at 2 km from village Honad, and 3 km from
Mumbai Pune Expressway. There is Khopoli town located on Mumbai-Pune NH4, which
is considerably better developed in terms of infrastructural facilities, education,
transport, hospital etc.

Landform, Land use and land ownership


Landform: Land is on plain contour; it is flat terrain.

Land Ownership: Land ownership is with project proponent (Prasol Chemicals Private
Limited).

Topography (along with map)


The district has three physiographic divisions i.e. (i) Coastal zone in west covers about
20% percent of the district (ii) Central zone covers about 1/3 rd of the district,
consisting of fertile land in low lying area (iii) Hilly zone in the eastern part highly
uneven in altitude and covered with forest. This hill range is characterized by
ruggedness and uneven topography, with Crestline of peaks and saddles forming the
eastern horizon. Ulhas, Panvel and Patalganga are the three main rivers in northern
part. Kundalika River is the main river in central part whereas in the southern part
Savitri River is the main river.
The soils in the district are formed from the Deccan Trap which is predominating rock
formation with small out crops of Laterite at a few places in the Poladpur taluka and
Matheran hill. The soils are grouped as Forest, Varkas, Rice, Khar or Saline, Coastal
Alluvium and Laterite as per the location and topographical situation.

Existing land use pattern


Existing land use is for industrial use owned by Prasol Chemicals Private Limited.

Operating plant at the site.

Geology and Soil characteristics


GEOLOGY:

24
Prefeasibility Report Prasol Chemicals Private limited, Village Honad, Dist Raigad, Maharashtra

The rock of the district is trap. In the plains it is found in tabular masses a few feet
below the soil and sometimes standing out from the surface. In the hills it is tabular and
is also found in irregular masses and shapeless boulders varying from a few inches to
several feet in diameter. In many places the surface of the trap has a rusty hue showing
the presence of iron. Nala on West of the plant site is the main line of drainage which on
going further meets Patalganga river near Mumbai Pune Highway (NH – 4). This nala
has flowing water from Month of June to February. This helps in replenishment of
ground water table.
Soil Characteristics

There are four chief varieties of soil: Alluvial and Alluvia, Powdered Laterite and trap,
clayey mould resting on trap, and soil containing marine deposits with, much sand and
other matter in concretion. Of these the first, which is composed of various
disintegrated rocks of the overlying trap formation, with a varying proportion of
calcareous substances, is at once the richest and the most widespread. The soil in the
vicinity of manufacturing plant is either black soil or red soil (rich in iron). As per the
periodic soil analysis in year 2010, for area of village Honad and Khopoli, done by
Agricultural department of Govt. of Maharashtra, soil has following characteristics;
presented in table below.

The district is the second largest producer of rice in the Maharashtra State. The
region is peculiarly terraced and, though the small strips in between the two terraces
are levelled, it is difficult to get even a few gunthas of land in one piece in a levelled
condition. The depth varies between two and six feet. They are loamy in texture,
yellowish or reddish grey in color, neutral in reaction and almost devoid of lime. They
are formed from the trap rock from the Sahyadri ranges under heavy rainfall and
humid climatic conditions. The linear response of rice to the application of
nitrogenous, phosphatic and potassic fertilizers is observed in these soils. Addition of
bulky manures in these soils is also found to be advantageous from the point of view

25
Prefeasibility Report Prasol Chemicals Private limited, Village Honad, Dist Raigad, Maharashtra

of yield. There are some patches of manat soils in Mangaon taluka which are rich in
clay and silt and which become stiff and hard when dry.

Khar soils.

These soils are situated on the flat, levelled land near the sea at the point of creeks
formed due to the rivers. They are flat clay to clay loam in texture and reddish or
yellowish grey in colour. These soils contain hardly more than one per cent of soluble
salts. These soils are formed due to the deposition of salts by the sea or from lands
reclaimed from the sea. Large tracts of land are going out of cultivation due to the
ingress of the sea and, in order to reclaim these lands, the Government have formed
the Khar Land Development Board which has undertaken ambitious projects of the
reclamation of khar lands.

Coastal alluvium soils.

These soils are found all along the coast and at places where there are no creeks.
They are deep soils developed on flat land and loamy in texture with reddish grey
colour. They are devoid of clay fraction or humus and are open in nature. The profile
is difficult to differentiate and is excessively drained. Calcium carbonate is found in
abundance throughout the profile but calcium has not entered the clay complex. The
sub-soil water level is only from ten to fifteen feet deep. The salt contents of the well
water are higher in the proximity of the sea; but due to excellent drainage, its use has
not produced any deleterious effects. The soils are almost neutral or slightly on the
alkaline side of neutrality. Good garden crops like coconut, areca-nut, plantain, etc.,
are grown in these soils, depending upon the availability of water.

Laterite soils.

Out-crops of laterite rock are observed amongst the Sahyadri ranges amidst the trap
rock mainly at Matheran and in the Poladpur taluka. These soils mostly occur on the
mountain peaks. They are coarser in texture, wherever there are no forests. They are
yellowish-red in colour and shallow in depth and yield coarse millets and niger. The
heavy rains in the mountainous regions thoroughly leach the soils turning them acidic
in reaction and devoid of calcium carbonate. They are rich in sesquioxides, the ratio of
silica to sesquioxides being less than two. But they are generally poor in exchangeable
bases or in fertility constituents. However, the soils from the forest region are well-
supplied with nitrogen and organic matter.
Typical soil analysis is as follows

Being a coastal district the diurnal (daily) and seasonal variations of temperature are
not large. The period from March to May is one of increasing temperatures. May is the
hottest month with a mean daily maximum temperature at 31.7°C (89.1°F) and the
mean daily minimum temperature at 26.4°C (79.5°F). Fresh breezes from the sea
relieve the oppressive heat particularly in the coastal regions in the afternoons. The
onset of the south-west monsoon early in June brings down the temperatures
slightly. After the withdrawal of the south-west monsoon by the end of September
the day temperatures increase slightly and the weather in October and November is
almost like the summer months. In the period from December to February the
weather is cooler than in the post-monsoon months.
Humidity:
The air is humid throughout the year. Relative humidity is on an average over 80 per
cent during the south-west monsoon season. In the rest of the year the relative
humidity is between 65 per cent and 75 per cent.
Cloudiness:
During the south-west monsoon season skies are heavily clouded to overcast. In May
and October, the clouding is moderate. Clear or very lightly clouded skies are
common in the rest of the year.
Winds:

28
Prefeasibility Report Prasol Chemicals Private limited, Village Honad, Dist Raigad, Maharashtra

Winds are very strong and blow from west or south-west during monsoon season.
During the period from October to December winds are generally moderate but
sometimes strong in October and blow from directions between north-east and
south-east. In the three months from January to March the winds continue to be
moderate and are predominantly from directions between north and east. In April
while there is a slight strengthening of wind, the direction is variable. In May there is
a further strengthening of winds and the directions are between south-west and
north-west.
Special weather phenomena:
In association with cyclonic storms in the Arabian sea in the post-monsoon months
and to a lesser extent in May, the district experiences very strong winds, sometimes
reaching gale force, particularly very near the coast and also heavy widespread rain.
Occasionally these storms may cross the coast in the northern part of the district and
cause heavy damage. Thunderstorms occur in April and May and just before the onset
of the monsoon and in the late September to the middle of November.

Social infrastructure available


Nearest town is Khopoli which is about 5 km from site towards east. Social
infrastructure such as schools, Hospitals, market place and other amenities are easily

42
Prefeasibility Report Prasol Chemicals Private limited, Village Honad, Dist Raigad, Maharashtra

Feed Preparation;
Reaction;
Distillation;
Flaking;
Grinding & Packaging.

Step 1: Feed Preparation

The solid Sulphur is sent to the melting tank for melting. After melting, the sulphur is sent to the
Sulphur Feed Tank for reaction. The Phosphorus is molten and stored under water in the
Phosphorus Feed Tank.
Step 2: Reaction
From feed tanks the liquid sulphur and phosphorus are fed to the reactor which is operated
under Nitrogen blanket. In the reactor a simple addition reaction takes place at high
temperatures to form Phosphorus Pentasulphide (PPS) product and then it is drained to the
intermediate tank maintained at the desired temperature to be fed to the distillation furnace.
The vapours formed (if any, during abnormal conditions) in the reactor and the intermediate
tanks are sent to the H2S scrubber attached to the ZDDP plant / DATC Plant.
Step 3: Distillation
The reaction mass is heated and the vapours are collected in the distillation pot. The vapours
are cooled in the pot and liquid PPS of 99.5% purity is obtained. Periodic maintenance shall be
done, during which sludge will be removed.
Step 4: Flaking
The distillate mass is sent to the flaker. In flaker the distillate mass is solidified over a drum
cooled with chilled water to form a thin solid layer which is scraped by a blade arrangement and
collected in the form of flakes.
Step 5: Grinding & Packaging
These flakes are then conveyed through a pin mill arrangement to obtain the product in the
required size of granules or powder. This product is then stored in Silos and packed in drums or
Tote bins as per the requirement.

6) Zinc Diorgano Dithiophosphate (ZDDP) / Dialkyl Dithiophosphoric Acid

Manufacturing Process
Zinc Diorgano-DithioPhosphate (ZDDP) is manufactured in two major steps.
Step 1: Synthesis Step:
The synthesis of Oxo-Alcohols and Phosphorus Pentasulphide takes place to form a
Di-Alkyl Dithiophosphoric Acid with release of Hydrogen Sulphide gas. In this step,
the oxo-alcohols are charged into the reactor, stirred and heated. Phosphorus
Pentasulphide is added to this mass with continuous stirring which results in the
evolving of gases which are to be absorbed in the 2 stage caustic scrubber.

Step 2: Neutralization Step:


The neutralization of the acid is carried out with zinc oxide. Once neutralization is
complete, the product mass is dried. Filter aid is added and the batch is filtered to
obtain the product of desired quality. The residue is then removed from the filter in
the form of solid cakes. The ZDDP product is then stored, packed and dispatched as
required.

Cyclohexanone, Methyl Isobutyl Ketone , Methyl Isobutyl Carbinol, Di-isobutyl Ketone, Di-
isobutyl Carbinol, Benzyl Acetone)

Initially the raw material is pumped from the feed tank into the loop reactor which operates at a
preset temperature and pressure. The catalyst is fed into the reactor before the batch is
initiated. The hydrogen gas in then introduced into the Loop reactor where the hydrogenation
reaction takes place. The contents of the loop reactor are thoroughly mixed using a pump
circulation system. After the reaction is completed, the reaction mass is emptied into a storage
tank and a new batch is charged into the loop reactor.

The reaction mass from the tank is then passed through a filter system where the catalyst
entrained in the product is removed / recycled. For some of the products a purification system
based on distillation and special filtration is used. The product is then pumped into a tank from
where the purified product can be packed and shipped.
