 CHAPTER 2
INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Identification of project and project proponent.

2.1.1 Identification of project
M/s. Century Rayon, the proponent is a unit of B.K. Birla Group of Companies
located at Shahad 421103 , Murbad Road, Shahad, Ulhasnagar Thane,
Maharashtra. The total plot area is 378656.00 square meter. Unit is running
since 1956.

2.1.2 Project Proponent

Mr. B. L. Jain, Wholetime Director, Century Textiles & Industries Ltd.

2.2 Brief description of nature of project

The project falls under category A, section 5 (d) of EIA notification September
2006 and amendment dated 25.06.2014. Hence Environment Clearance is
applicable to the proposed project.

2.3 Need of project and its importance to the country and or region
Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) consumption in Indian market is in the tune of
55 to 56 thousand tons per annum. In view of closure of domestic VFY
producers, Baroda Rayon & National Rayon Corporation demand supply gap
arised and this was bridged through imports from countries like, China,
Germany and Belarus. Imports in the year 2006-07 was nil, which increased
to over 20,000 Tons in the year 2013-14.
As exhibited, India has large consumption of VFY, however production
capacity is not commensurate to meet the demand and therefore imports.
To reduce the dependence on imports, it is essential to increase
domestic production and therefore intend to expand the production
capacity. This would not only save foreign exchange for the nation, but
also use the resources available like technical and skilled labour.

2
 China has VFY producing plant with large capacities that allows them cost
advantages due to scale of operations and we also need to enhance capacity
to compete.
2.4 Demand Supply gap
In last 8 years, the demand continuous to exceed supply from domestic VFY
producers, which is filled by import. The details of imports of last six years are
being submitted as under:

2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14

3702 8640 19958 20099 22437 17057 20208

Further the demand has increased in Superfine Denier, i.e. 30 to 60 Deniers,

production of these deniers need more machines to produce as compared to
production of fine /coarser denier yarns.

2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14

3702 8640 19958 20099 22437 17057 20208

2.5 Imports v/s indigenous production

As there is ready market in India, by increasing capacity, imports can be
reduced resulting in savings foreign exchange and would be able to create
more job opportunities for skilled and unskilled labours.

2.6 Export Possibility

Viscose Filament Yarn producing units in Germany has stopped production.
Considering unviable operations, some units in China have also stopped
operations and few more are on way. This will create a gap in supply in global
market. We expect to increase our market share as CR has competitive
advantage especially because of:

 Availability of skilled labours

 Expertise in producing fine quality of VFY
 Competitive Labour cost

3
 Presently we are exporting to various countries like Morocco, Egypt, Brazil,
Bolivia, Algeria, Nigeria, Italy, Turkey, USA, etc.

2.7 Domestic/ export markets

Domestic market is good and demand is increasing. Association of Man Made
Fibre Industry of India (AMFII) got a study conducted through M/a. Avlon
Consulting to assess the future demand and according to their findings;
compounded annual growth of 14.7% in CSY and 2.3% growth in PSY are
projected till 2017-18. Further the demand in global market is also expected to
grow due to stoppage of production in Europe due to higher labour cost. Even
producers of VFY at China are encountering issue of rise in cost on number of
issues like energy, labour, etc. and CR cost competitiveness in domestic and
global market would have an edge.

2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project.

M/s. Century Rayon Ltd. will give direct employment to local people based on
qualification and requirement. In addition to direct employment, indirect
employment shall generate ancillary business to some extent for the local
population. In operation phase, the proposed project would require significant
workforce of non-technical and technical persons. Migration of highly
education and skilled experience will result in increase of literacy in the
surrounding villages.

Manufacturing Process for Viscose Filament Yarn

Manufacturing of Viscose Filament Yarn
Wood pulp sheet containing cellulose is treated with dilute caustic soda to
make it Alkali Cellulose. The sheets are then cut into small crumbs under
controlled condition in shredder. The crumbs are allowed to age in controlled
10
 conditions of temperature and humidity for controlling viscosity of viscose to
make the cellulose suitable for further operation. The crumbs are reacted with
Carbon –disulphide in the Simplex/Churn to form cellulose xanthate. The
cellulose xanthate is dissolved in dilute Caustic Soda to make viscous solution
which is further ripened and de- areated to remove air bubbles before sending
to spinning.

Viscose is filtered again, prior to spinning near machines. Viscose is then

coagulated to yarn on passing through Spinbath solution. This is taken over
rollers where it is washed with soft water. After washings, sizing solution this
yarn passes over drier drum and it gets dried. The dried yarn is taken on
cylindrical bobbins / Cones on up winding machines. These are inspected
and packed in packing section.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS FLOW CHART OF VISCOSE FILAMENT YARN

Fig 4.

11
Manufacturing of Sodium Sulphate

Viscose is passed through spin bath solution on spinning machines to regenerate

cellulose in the form of yarn. In this process spin bath solution is diluted and salt is
formed. This salt is extracted out by Crystallization process.
Spin bath is fed to crystallizer which is maintained under vacuum with the help of
steam ejectors. Vapours are absorbed in absorbers and then thus diluted acid is
taken to acid storage tank and recycled in plant. The magma from crystallizer, which
is thick solution of sodium sulphate, is further fed to rotary vacuum filter and dryer to
get dry sodium sulphate.

The present equipment capacities are sufficient to cater to increase production of

19350 TPA.

MANUFACTURING OF SULPHURIC ACID
Sulphuric Acid is manufactured by Double Conversion Double Absorption (DCDA)
Process. Molten Sulphur is burnt with dry air to form Sulphur - di - Oxide gas. SO2
thus formed is converted to SO3 (Sulphur - Tri - Oxide) with air using V2O5
(Vanadium Penta Oxide). This is exothermic reaction and produced heat is utilised
for production of steam. Finally SO3 is dissolved in water to form Sulphuric Acid.
Chemical reaction is given below

 Manufacturing Process of Carbon Disulphide

CS2 gas is manufactured in electric arc furnace using calcined charcoal (carbon)
and molten sulphur. Furnace made with MS body has layers of brick linings of
insulation, fire & Magnesite bricks. Molten sulphur is fed to furnace where it
reacts with well calcined charcoal at temp. around 800°C to produce CS2. The
reaction is endothermic. Required heat energy is supplied by electric power.

CS2 produced in gaseous form is condensed in condensers, in 2 steps, using

water at 25-30°C and chilled water at 6-7°C. Remaining part of CS2 along with
some H2S is further passed through Oil Scrubbing system where CS2 is
recovered. Remaining H2S is passed through absorption tower where it
absorbed in Caustic Soda to produce Sodium Sulphide as by product.

CS2 is stored in liquid form under water. Storage tanks are kept in dyke filled with
water to keep CS2 cool.

Overview of Effluent treatment:

 The effluent from Rayon plant contains mainly zinc and low COD and BOD
value.
 Effluent from utilities blow down does not contain any organics load but
contains suspended and colloidal solids.

The effluent water flows is around 13,000 m3/day from various process departments
is received through various channels. The pH of these different streams is reads by
inserted pH probe in individual channel. The ph of effluent is mostly acidic in nature
and is neutralized by addition of lime in incoming effluent stream channel & in
equalization tank. The effluent water from equalization tank is pumped by neutralized
effluent transfer pump to flash mixer of clarifloculator. Pumping of effluent water in
flash mixer is followed by addition of poly- electrolyte and then to clarifloculator
where flocculation and settling occur. The clarified water overflows to aeration tank
before final disposal of effluent. For pH correction of alkaline effluent, auto acid
dozing system is provided at the overflow of clarifier. Part of Rayon After Treatment
and Tyrecord spin bath effluent rich in zinc is taken separately in Zinc equalization
tank and then pump to clariflocculator tank where pH is maintained between 9 to 11
to separate out zinc from effluent. Overflow of clarifier is taken back to inlet of
equalization tank.
The settled sludge of both clarifiers are taken into thickener for concentrating the
sludge and then pumped to super D-canter for separation of solid & liquid. Solid
sludge is collected in trolley kept below the machine and then it is disposed in a pit.
Liquid goes to equalization tank. The collected sludge is sent to Mumbai Waste
Management Ltd., Taloja, regularly.

19
There shall be about 2000 KLD increase in effluent generation from process. This
will be reused/recycled.
