2 INTRODUCTION
M/s. Kansai Nerolac Paint Limited (‘KNPL’) has proposed the project for capacity expansion of integrated paint
manufacturing facilities at Lote Parshuram Industrial area, Tal: Khed, District Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. KNPL intends
to optimize & utilize its existing manufacturing facility to manufacture different type of paint, thinner and Resin as
captive consumption. At present the plant is manufacturing water based paint: 12000 KLPA, Paints: 22800 MTPA,
resin 18000 MTPA, Thinner 3300 KLA, and Thermosetting Powder 7800 MTPA.
However, process improvement and batch cycle time reduction, the plant is now capable of producing Water based
paints: 25000 KLPA, Paints: 35000 MTPA, Resin: 25000 MTPA, Thinner: 5000 KLPA and Thermosetting Powder:
12000 MTPA by using existing equipment and machinery. There will not be any additional capital investment to
increase production capacity.
KNPL currently hold 2nd position by sales turnover in Indian Paints Industry, fuelled by strong technological base,
dynamic management team and aspirations to become the market leader, KNPL wants to expand its manufacturing
capacity by process improvement and cycle time reduction in its existing manufacturing set up in Lote Parshuram
factory. KNPL shall be able to cater the growing market demand in western region more effectively by improving its
existing production capacities.
In the last ten years, the Indian Paints Industry has grown at the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10-12
% .The market for paints in India is expected to grow at the 1.5 times to 2 times GDP growth rate in next five
years. In order to benefit to this expected growth, KNPL is looking to expand the current manufacturing capabilities
by process improvement and cycle time reduction in its existing manufacturing facilities set up in Lote Parshuram
Industrial Area.
No import of raw material is required as major raw materials required for paints manufacturing like soapstone, talc,
calcium carbonate etc. are available in Rajasthan.
This is capacity enhancement through automation and efficiency improvement so will not require additional
manpower. The manpower requirement for the existing plant is based on the number of the persons required on
each machine / process. The paint manufacturing requires skillful handling by expertise manpower. For operating in
full capacity KNPL requires approximately 225 Operators, 129 Mangers & Officers, & 400 Contractual Person. It is
the endeavour of the company to utilize local manpower meeting the qualifications, to the extent possible.
3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is capacity expansion by optimizing and utilizing existing infrastructure to manufacture
different type of paint, thinner and Resin as captive consumption. This will be done by process improvement and
batch cycle time reduction, thus the plant is capable to produce additional amount of paints, resin, thinner and
thermosetting power. There are no interlinked and interdependent projects.
3.2 Location (map showing general location, specific location and project boundary &
project lay out) with coordinates
KNPL proposes capacity expansion at their existing unit located Survey no. F-1/2, F-2, F-3, Vil.: Awashi, Tal.: Khed,
Dist.: Ratnagiri, Maharashtra. The site location map is given in Figure 3-1. The project site boundary coordinates
map is shown in Figure 3-2. The Site layout map is shown in Figure 3-3.
3.3 Details of alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the proposed site,
particularly the environmental considerations gone into should be highlighted
Since the proposed project is for capacity expansion within the existing plant facility, therefore alternate site option
is not explored.
Manufacturing Processes
c) Thinner
d) Thermosetting Powder
The description of brief process to be used for manufacturing of each type of paint is given below.
Manufacture of intermediaries like acrylic resin (water based) for internal consumption
Manufacture of paints,
Acrylic resin (water based) is basically manufactured through a emulsion polymerization of monomers at low
temperatures in the water as media. Surfactants and emulsifiers are added to maintain emulsion stability. Reaction
takes place around 75-80 °C at atmospheric pressure. Stainless steel reactor is used. Typical monomers are methyl
Methacrylate, Butyl Acrylate, Vinyl, Acetate, Styrene etc. No by-product is produced.
The resin formed is diluted with water and filtered and stored in tanks. This is used as intermediate for
manufacturing of paints.
Catalyst
Pre Mixing Tank
Water
Reactor
Antifungal agent
The Water Based Paints manufacturing process consists mainly of dispersion of Pigments (mainly TiO 2) & extenders
(e.g. Talc, CaCO3, Clay, etc.) in water under vigorous agitation & followed by fine grinding through Sand mill
(whenever necessary). The slurry is diluted by adding Emulsion, water & thickeners to get the required physical
parameters. The final paint is filled in the containers & dispatched.
Dispersion:– Pigments powders are wetted with optimum quantity of water along with wetting agents. This is
done in the equipment called Twin Shaft Disperse (TSD).
Grinding:- This step is required in certain premium product only. The slurry is ground in high speed sand Mills
to achieve the desired particle size, which is at micron levels, to get desired finish.
Dilution:- Slurry is transferred to Mixing vessel. The slurry is thinned by adding emulsion, Thickener & water
as per the recipe, to get desirable physical parameters.
Filling & Packing:- Filling is carried out in Bulk Packs (10, 20 lt.) or Small packs (1, 4 lt.). Automatic filling
machines are used for big batch sizes. Smaller batches are filled with manual machine. Small packs containers
are packed in cartons.-Packed containers/Cartons are sent to BSR for storage & onward dispatch.

Manufacture of paints,
The resin formed is diluted with MTO and stored in tanks, to be used in manufacturing paints.
Premixing: Pigments powders are wetted with optimum quantity of resin/ solvents. This is done in high speed
dispersers.
Grinding: The slurry is ground in high speed sand Mills to achieve the desired particle size, which is at micron
levels.
Blending: Adjustment with remaining resins, solvents, additives etc. to achieve desired physical properties like
viscosity, sp. Gravity, drying properties etc. Dry film properties like elasticity, strength, scratch resistance, etc.
also adjusted.
Tinting: Tinting is done by adding various strainers/pigment concentrates to bring the product to the desired
shade
Filtration: Final product is filtered through fine filters before filling in specified containers
Filling: Final product is filled in required pack sizes, carbonized, palletized and sent to warehouse for storage
and dispatch.
Figure 3-7: Process Flow Chart for the Production of Solvent based Paints
Mixing: 2 - 3 type of solvents as per formulation is mixed in mixer to make the uniform mixture.
Filtration: The mixed solvent is filtered through fine filters before filling in specified containers.
Filling: Final product is filled in required pack sizes, carbonized, palletized and sent to warehouse for storage
and dispatch.
Thinner is mixture of different solvent. The operation is closed loop system. There is no loss in the process.
D) Thermosetting Powder
Premixing - The raw materials are in powder / flake form. These are weighed and added in a pre-mixer. The
pre-mixer blends these materials mechanically
Extrusion/ Melt Mixing- The ' Premix ' is fed into an extruder. The Extruder ensures uniform dispersion of
the material at temperature of 100° -140° C) and converts it into paste form. The paste coming out of the
Extruder is squeezed between two rollers. Rollers are cooled using chilled water circulation inside the rollers.
The paste on squeezing forms a thin uniform film. The film formed by squeezing is laid on a conveyor belt for
cooling.
Pre-breaking -The cooled film is crushed into small flakes of size approximately 1 sq.cm, by the pre-breaker
Blending - These flakes are charged into DCM (Double cone blender), small quantity of additive is added to
the flakes, blending is done for proper mixing of additive.
Micronizing -Blended flakes are then fed into a micro pulverizer (also known as air classifying mill). The micro
pulverizer grinds the flakes into fine powder. The powder is then sieved and packed for dispatch. These micro-
pulverizer are provided with dust collector & blowers to prevent dust pollution.

Gas and dust emission from process reactor vessels, mixers, condensers, blenders, chargers etc.
During charging, dust collection and fine particle filtration systems will be installed to trap the particulate matter
thus allowing only clean air to be discharged into the atmosphere.
Pulse jet filters are continuous self-cleaning units. A high-pressure blast of clean, dry compressed air is injected into
each filter element at periodic intervals. This air is stored in a reservoir called a header. Several purge pipes are
attached to the header and extend into the clean air plenum above rows of filter bags or cartridges. Holes are
drilled in the purge pipes directly above each of the filter elements. Several elements are cleaned by one purge
pipe. A solid state timer controls a solenoid that opens a diaphragm valve allowing air to flow from the reservoir
into the purge pipe and filter element. The element experiences a shock wave while air is forced through it in a
direction opposite to the dirty air flow. A portion of the dust cake will fall away from the bag into the filter’s hopper.

The scrubber system is designed as the gas transfers using the vacuum created by the centrifugal corrosion
resistance blower. First the oil drain box attracts the oil transferring to the ducts, where the heavy oil is trapped.
The hot fumes generated from the reactors are exhausted through the header duct line connecting all the reactors
transfers to the oil separation column for complete separation of oil and manually collected in a pot by gravity and
centrifugal action created by the column.
The hot gas (250 °C) transfers to the Venturi to bring down the temperature and drastically absorb the acidic
fumes of Phthalic, Penta and Maleic generated by the hot Phthalic anhydride solution by the chemical mixer with
water solution. When it passes through the venturi chamber, the maximum quantity of fumes get wet due to jet
spray of liquid placed inside the venture throat.
Subsequently, the gas pass through the PP/FRP ceramic pall rings packed jet flashed distributor built in second
column for scrubbing the left out acidic fumes of Phthalic, Penta, Maleic fume absorbed by Lime solution. The
circular spray nozzles to trap the left out oil and then it passes through the ceramic bed column having one more
circular spray nozzle which sprays the neutralizing solution to scrub the Phthalic, Penta, Maleic fumes. Now the gas
temperature is 900 °C. Then it passes through charcoal bed tower where the odour is elimination takes place and
then passes through the demister pad to trap any traces of escapes at this charcoal tower. Finally, the clean air let
out through stack to the atmosphere.

4.5.1 Land
The Plant facilities are spread over 77,347 m2 MIDC Land which is completely fortified and protected on all four
sides by boundary walls.
4.5.2 Buildings
Total built-up area is bifurcated into various infrastructure and buildings like Production Blocks, Engineering,
Warehouses, Administration, Canteen, Toilets etc. There is adequate space & provision for operations.
The Plant Facilities have been designed and set up with the objective to carry out almost all chemical reactions and
processes. Details of plant machinery & utility equipment used for the production are as given in Table 4-3.
With reference to secondary data, based on the physical characteristics of the soils, they can be classified into five
major groups as follows in Ratnagiri district:
1) Coarse Shallow Soil: They are reddish brown in colour and occur on the slopes of the hills and are partly
eroded, poor in fertility, shallow in depth and coarse in texture. These soils are ideal for Cashew and Mango
plantations.
2) Medium Deep Soil: These are reddish yellow in colour and have various names depending upon the place of
occurrence. Those situated at higher elevations are known as Mal, while at slightly lower levels are known as Kuyat.
Near water courses, which have a fair supply of water during Rabi season are known as Panthal or Vaigan. Paddy is
grown on these soils during Kharif. On Panthal soils pulses and summer paddy can also been grown.
3) Deep Soil: They occur along river banks or valleys and are usually of mixed origin and are yellowish red to
brown in colour. They are light, easily workable, well drained and fairly fertile. Areca nut and coconut gardens are
grown well on these soils.
4) Coastal Alluvial Soil: They are found along the coastal strip and consist of deep sandy loams suitable for
Coconut and Areca nut.
5) Coastal Saline Soil: They are formed due to the inundation of the sea, where by part of coastal soils become
salty. They are locally known as Khar, Khajan, Kharvat etc. They are found along coastal strip of Dapoli, Guhagar
and Ratnagiri tehsils.

Sand Filter
The sewage water generated at various locations is screened & centrally collected in a sewage collection cum
equalization tank wherein, the surges of flow are contained. The screened sewage is pumped out from the
equalization tank to the Digester which consists of a MBBR reactor and a Tube Deck Clarifier. The water enters the
top of the reactor & flows through the media in the reactor. A continuous stream of air in counter current mode
aerates the sewage which flows down the reactor. The aeration of the sewage is done by fine pore sub – surface
diffusers which provide the oxygen for organic digestion.
Continuous aeration ensures aerobic activity on the surface of the media. Micro – organisms attach themselves on
the media & grow into dense films of a viscous jelly like nature. From the MBBR reactor the digested sewage
overflows into a tube deck clarifier operating on a low hydraulic loading. Before it enters the tube deck clarifier the
water is dosed with a dilute solution of alum & lime. As the water comes up through the media the suspended
particles & sludge are retained & clear water overflows into the overflow chamber. The sludge collects in the
tapered bottom of the settler & is periodically drained out. The clarified water from the overflow chamber of the
digester is pumped through a sand filter & an activated carbon filter for removal of suspended impurities & traces
of organic matter respectively. The filtered water is then dosed on-line with a dilute solution of chlorine. This water
will be used for gardening.
During paint manufacturing process, various effluent streams will be generated at various sources due to carrying
out of various manufacturing activities. Effluent streams will be generated from water based paint, CED F1 & F-2
paint, resin manufacturing block and thermosetting powder manufacturing block during activities such as cleaning
of mixers, cleaning of CED tanker, cleaning of resin reactor and blender. Effluent will also be generated during
calibration of vessels, cleaning of barrels and containers. All the above mentioned effluent streams along with
utilities blow downs, regeneration and backwash water will be treated in proposed ETP consist primary, secondary
and tertiary treatment.
ETP treated effluent then further treated in advance tertiary treatment with RO and MEE.
The domestic waste water i.e. sewage will also be discharged to STP from various blocks such as administration
building, canteens, toilets & washrooms for truck drivers & cleaners
At Lote, 2 nos. ETP with capacity 85 KLD and 20 KLD respectively are in operation. The treated water after passing
thru sand filter & carbon filter are combined and further treated in RO and reject is passed thru’ MEE.

Effluent generated from the industrial use is treated in ETP followed by RO & MEE. The system is designed to treat
85 m3/day & 20 m3/day of waste water in two separate ETP. The waste water generated from Paint section & resin
sections and allied utilities is treated in ETP No.-1 whereas waste water from Polyester resin, thermosetting powder
and allied utility are treated in ETP No.-2.
Primary Treatment
This Waste water receives in bar screen where coarse solids are removed then it flows to oil and grease trap where
floating oil and grease is trapped and removed manually. From oil & grease trap effluent flows to equalization
tanks. The effluent shall be equalized with blown air from coarse bubble diffuser and air blower assembly. The
effluent then pumped to the flash mixer provided with alum dosing as coagulant & to enhance the formation of
flocks it is passed through Flocculation Tank where Polyelectrolyte is added. From Flocculation Tank effluent flows
to primary settling tank where primary sludge will settle at the bottom and the clear overflow will enter the 1st
stage bio reactor. Primary settling tank shall be provided with hopper bottom.
Secondary Treatment
Due to heavy BOD load in waste water Conventional two stages Bioreactor system is provided with suspended
biological mass. The mixing and Oxygen transfer in the reactor is provided by fine bubble diffused aeration system.
The microorganisms degrade the soluble BOD in the wastewater. In the process they multiply. The overflow from
the 1st stage bioreactor enters the 1st stage Secondary Clarifier where the bio sludge settles down and gets
separated from the effluent. The settled biomass will be recycled back to the 1st stage bio reactor for maintaining
the MLVSS concentration. Excess biomass shall be taken to Sludge dewatering unit. The clear supernatant of the
clarifier shall overflow to 2nd stage bioreactor. In the second stage bioreactor the left-over BOD from the 1st stage
bioreactor is degraded completely. The overflow from the 2nd stage bioreactor enters the 2nd stage Secondary
Clarifier where the bio sludge settles down and gets separated from the effluent. The settled biomass will be
recycled back to the 2nd stage bio reactor for maintaining the MLVSS concentration. Excess biomass shall be taken
to Sludge dewatering unit. The clear overflow from the 2nd stage secondary clarifier enters the intermediate tank.
Tertiary Treatment
A dose of NaOCl shall be given at the intermediate tank for disinfection. This biologically treated waste water shall
be pumped through a pressure sand filter (PSF) for removing any fine solids escaping the secondary clarifier & then
through Activated carbon filters that are mainly used for removal of free chlorine, oil & grease from water, also for
removal of refractory (no-bio-degradable) organic matter. Activated carbon used as media provides a large pore
surface area that by the process of adsorption helps in removal of organic molecules. The large surface area also
helps in a catalytic action in removal of chlorine (present as hypochlorus acid) in the water. The activated carbon
needs to be regularly backwashed by reversal of flow to keep the surface of the carbon particles clean.
Antiscalant dosing system is considered prior to RO mainly to avoid corrosion in the RO pressure tubes and to
prevent scaling on the membranes. It comprises of a tank and dosing pumps.
Antiscalant is added prior to the Micron filter to increase the solubility threshold limitation of sparingly soluble salts
such as CaCO3, BaSO4 and CaF. Acid dosing adjusts the pH value of the filter water to prevent saturation of
various organic salts. The pH analyzer controls acid dosing.
Sodium Meta-Bisulphite is dosed in the filtered water to neutralize any traces of residual chlorine present in the
filtered water and to ensure complete de chlorination. The Sodium Meta-Bisulphite dosing is linked with an ORP
analyzer, which would give an alarm to increase the dosage manually.
The effluent is pumped into the system by the pre filter pump at the inlet of the filter pump. The filter pump further
ensures that sufficient pressure is maintained in the system for normal operation. The effluent water is then filtered
by the sand filter and the cartridge filter which removes the foreign materials. The filtered water is then pressurised
to 15 bar (normal operating pressure) by the high pressure pump and subsequently boosted by in line Booster
Pump. The water passes over the membrane cushions in the PT Modules. The high pressure is regulated by the
servo motor control valve. About 90% water passes across to the pure water side. The remainder water called as
brine is discharged. The entire operation of the RO plant is automatically controlled by a stored programme in the
microprocessor fitted in the control panel. The pure water is called as permeate water which is the output of the RO
Plant is sent to the storage water tank for reuse. Whereas reject water is feed to MEE.
The proposed RO Membrane system will achieve 90% permeate recovery and thereby reduce the load on MEE.
The sludge generated from the primary and secondary settling tanks is collected in sludge collection tank and
pumped by screw pumps to filter press. The cake obtained from the filter press is sent for disposal to notified
common hazardous waste treatment storage and disposal facility (CHWTSDF). The filtrate from filter press is
recycled to equalization tank.
The system is Three Effect Evaporator. The feed to the evaporator is collected in the collection tank. From the
collection tank the effluent is pumped through the preheaters to the 1st effect calendria. The motive steam from the
boiler pass through the inlet nozzle of Thermovapour Recompressor (TVR). The low pressure vapour is sucked from
the suction nozzle of the TVR. The compressed vapour come out through the TVR outlet and enters the chest of 1st
effect calendria. The calendria are forced type. The liquid pass through the tubes and steam is passed through the
chest. The latent heat of the steam is used for heating the tube side liquid. The superheated liquid is flashed in the
vapour liquid separator. The feed to the vapour liquid separator have a tangential inlet. Part of the flashed vapour
is used to heat the concentrated liquid in the 2nd effect calendria and other part of the flashed vapour is sucked by
the TVR. The liquid separated in the 1st effect vapour liquid separator is recirculated using the recirculation pumps
back to the 1st effect calendria. For recirculation axial flow pumps is provided. High velocity of the liquid is
maintained in the tubes. The concentrated liquid from the 1st effect is pumped to the 2nd effect. In the 2nd effect the
liquid is further concentrated using the latent heat of the vapour separated in the 1 st VLS. The vapour separated in
the 2nd VLS is used to heat the liquid in the 3rd effect Calendria. The vapour separated in the 3rd VLS is condensed in
the condenser using the cold water from the cooling tower. The liquid reaches its saturation concentration in the 3rd
VLS.
The concentrated and super saturated liquid is drained to crystallizer. Here the liquid is super saturate and solids
precipitate out to form crystals. The saturated mother liquor is recirculated to the calendria. The Crystal concentrate
is pumped to the Centrifuge where the precipitated solid is filtered and the saturated mother liquor is pumped back
to the Feed Tank. The condensate is collected in the flash pot. The cooled condensate is pumped out. The solid
(MEE Salt) is disposed off thru’ CHTSDF as landfill.
The Calendria and the condensers is Shell and tube type. For all the recirculation pumps double mechanical seals
(Hard Faces) are provided. Seal water pump is provided to cool and lubricate the double mechanical seals using
cooling water. Plate Type Heat Exchanger is provided to cool the liquid coming out of the Double mechanical seals
with water from the cooling tower.
The quantity of Hazardous waste alongwith its management plan is presented in Table 3-8 whereas non-
hazardous waste management details are given in Table 3-9 of Chapter 3. The membership certificate is
available with Mumbai waste management limited - the common hazardous waste treatment storage and disposal
facility at Taloja site. The copy of certificate is shown as Figure 6-4.
The municipal and other solid waste are generated at plant and details are shown in Table 3-9 of Chapter 3 with
its management plan.
