2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/ BACKGROUND INFORMATION

(i) Identification of project and project proponent

M/s. Grasim Industries Limited (GIL), a flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, ranks amongst

India's largest private sector companies, with a consolidated net revenue of Rs. 293 billion and

consolidated net profit of Rs.21 billion (FY 2014).

GIL started as a textile manufacturer in 1948. Today, its core businesses are Viscose Staple Fibre

(VSF) and Cement, contributing over 90 per cent of its revenues and operating profits. It is also

present in Chemicals which is essentially a backward integration of VSF.

The Aditya Birla Group is the world’s leading producer of VSF, commanding a 16 per cent global

market share. Grasim, with an aggregate capacity of 498 KTPA has a global market share of 8 per

cent. It is also the largest player in India in Chlor Alkali with Caustic capacity of 452KTPA (which is

used in the production of VSF) in India.

Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF) is a man-made, biodegradable fibre with characteristics akin to cotton.

As an extremely versatile and easily bendable fibre, VSF is widely used in apparels, home textiles,

dress material, knitted wear and non-woven applications.





M/s. Grasim Industries Ltd. has its VSF Plant at Nagda (Madhya Pradesh), Harihar (Karnataka),

Kharach & Vilayat in Bharuch District of Gujarat.

GPCB for expansion














As per EIA Notification dated 14th Sep, 2006 as amended from time to time; the project falls under

Category “A”, Project or Activity ‘5(d)’.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

The Indian man-made fibre manufacturing industry is not only one of the rapidly growing sectors

in the economy, but also a critical enabler of the largest export earner - the textiles industry. The

profitability of the man-made fibres industry is linked to the performance of the petrochemicals

industry at the global level, and of the textile industry at the domestic level.

The most optimum plant configuration involves setting up largest capacity that the market can

absorb, level of participation in the man-made fibres chain, and the most cost-effective

technology. To a large extent, these factors determine the profitability and cost structure of a

man-made fibre company, while later efforts are focused on managing the facilities efficiently and

effectively.





Currently, the Indian textile industry accounts for 9.0% of the global textile fibres production. India

is the fifth largest man-made fibre producer in the world, after China, South Korea, Taiwan and

Japan. Of the global production of around 24.0 million tonnes (MT) of man-made fibre, India

produces around 1.5 MT. Thus, India’s share of the world man-made fibre output is very low at

around 7.0%.

With concerns over the stagnating cotton production and the environment impact created by

non-biodegradable polyester and other synthetic fibers, the cellulosic fibers are poised to make a

great impact in the market.

Hence, the proposal of expansion in VSF production capacity by Grasim Industries Ltd. (Grasim

Cellulosic Division) will cater the increased demand of manmade fibres in the country.

(iv) Demand- Supply Gap

Among major staple fibres, Viscose Staple Fibre (VSF) will have better growth due to perfect fit

for the higher growing categories in apparel retail segments like women wear and kids wear. The

growing demand for casual, fashionable & comfortable wear will lead to higher growth of VSF.

Slower growth is expected in china due to slowdown of overall textile industry due to rising cost

of production and India is rightly positioned to take advantages of the situation. With GST in place

the MMF will get the level playing field in India & hence are poised for higher growth rates in the

year to come.

VSF consumption growth at a CAGR of 11% during 2010-15 period and expected to continue to grow

at a healthy rate much better than other fibres. In India too it is expected that VSF demand to

grow at a rate of 11% during 2015-20. To meet the vision set for textile and apparel industry by

honourable Prime Ministry, there will be requirement of adequate raw materials which cotton

cannot meet as availability of land for growing the crops will be less going forward due focus on

food crops specially pulses.

Hence, the demand of fibres for textiles will need to be met by MMF and VSF has got the clear

advantages for taking a major share in this due to its unique properties. With growth in

consumer’s preference for comfort, fashion wear and casuals, viscose is emerging as the fibre of

choice. This provides opportunities for Indian textiles value chain to grow and supply to

international brands, earning foreign exchange for both themselves and country.

(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production

The proposed expansion in production capacity will utilize locally available raw material. However,

some imports will be required for Rayon Grade Pulp.

(vi) Export Possibility

The finished product of the plant is being / will be exported to Bangladesh, China, Turkey, Europe,

Pakistan, USA, Mexico, Argentina etc.





(vii) Domestic / Export Markets

Domestic market mainly includes Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka and

Tamil Nadu.

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

M/s. Grasim Industries Ltd. (Grasim Cellulosic Division) employs maximum possible staffing from

nearby area. Only where skills are not available locally, staff will be hired from outside. The

proposed expansion will generate both direct & indirect employment. Approx. 200 Persons will be

provided employment during operational phase of proposed expansion project. The total

manpower (direct and indirect) requirement after the proposed expansion project will be around

2700 persons.

Process Details

� Viscose Staple Fibre

Viscose production primarily consists of three stages, viz. conversion of initial cellulose of wood

pulp into alkali-cellulose by the action of Sodium Hydroxide, aging of alkali-cellulose and

conversion of alkali-cellulose into Cellulose Xanthate & dissolving in dilute sodium hydroxide to

produce viscose. Sufficient interval is allowed between mercerisation of pulp and Xanthation of

alkali-cellulose for ageing, to shorten cellulose chain length. The xanthation reaction is generally

formulated as follows:

ROH + NaOH + CS2 ROCS, SNa + H2O

The viscose produced is filtered in three stages to remove undissolved particles and impurities;

deaerated and is extruded under pressure through spinnerets, kept submerged in a coagulating

bath where cellulose is regenerated as fine filaments. The flowchart showing entire VSF

manufacturing process is given in Figure - 5.

Detailed description of manufacturing process of VSF is given as under:

The Process comprises of following stages:

1. Viscose Preparation

2. Spinning Bath Preparation

3. Spinning of Viscose Solution

4. After treatment of Fibre






1. Viscose Preparation

a) Slurry Steeping

For mercerization of Rayon Grade Pulp, Pulpers are used. Rayon Grade Pulp (cellulose) is

reacted with 18% Caustic Soda Solution. Pulp are dumped in Slurry Mixer tanks fitted with

high-speed agitators to form slurry with caustic soda. Slurry thus obtained, are pumped to a

homogeniser tank from which the slurry is continuously sent to Slurry Press, where excess

caustic soda is squeezed out and slurry is squeezed into blanket. The excessive caustic soda

is recycled to the Caustic Soda Station for make-up and recycle. The squeezed blanket from

slurry presses enters into a three roll continuous shredder through a coarse pre-shredding

arrangement.

b) Ageing

The shredded alkali-cellulose is fed into a long, slowly-rotating, jacketed ageing / maturing

drum having exterior jacket through which water is circulated at controlled temperature or

Aging Box to maintain desired temperature of alkali-cellulose to control ageing, which is

accomplished in 4-6 hours. The alkali-cellulose is discharged by a pneumatic conveying

system into a load-cell mounted hopper and finally discharged into a series of xanthators.

c) Xanthation

The aged alkali-cellulose is made to react with Carbon-Disulphide under vacuum in

Xanthator for an approximate time of 50 minutes to produce Cellulose Xanthate, which is

later dissolved in chilled 3% Caustic Soda Solution. The entire process is accomplished in wet

condition to avoid exposure of gases. From the Xanthator, discharging is done by remote

control without any manual handling.

The xanthator is a large capacity vessel with jacket and two-speed agitator of special

design. After charging alkali cellulose, it is tightly covered and vacuum of 600-650 mm Hg is

applied. The agitator is run at slow speed and the required quantity of carbon disulphide is

admitted through a spray-pipe. With instant vaporisation of carbon-disulphide, the vacuum

drops but with the progress of the reaction in Xanthation, the vacuum is regained. At this

stage, the charge of dilute caustic soda is taken into the xanthator. The xanthator is then

exhausted and xanthate slurry is dropped into a dissolver.

The dissolvers are energy-efficient equipments with impeller of special design. The dissolver

is cooled by circulating chilled water through its jacket for low temperature dissolving.

d) Dissolving

In dissolver, Xanthate slurry is thoroughly dissolved through coarse and fine disintegrators

for about 3 hrs. to dissolve cellulose xanthate into viscose solution.

The dissolvers are energy-efficient equipments with impeller of special design. The dissolver

is cooled by circulating chilled water through its jacket for low temperature dissolving.






e) Ripening, Filtration & De-aeration

This system consists of blenders, receiving tanks, first stage filtration, first intermediate

tank, second stage filtration, second intermediate tank, flash deaerator, third stage

filtration and spinning tanks.

Viscose produced in Dissolvers is ripened in ripening room for about 12 hrs. under controlled

temperature conditions. Viscose solution is pumped into series of tanks and passed through

3 stages of filters for removing undissolved impurities. Viscose solution is also passed

through high vacuum flash de-aerators for removing entrapped air. The filtered and de-

aerated viscose is collected in spinning tanks. The spinning tank is a closed tank and viscose

is pumped to spinning machine from the spinning tank.

2. Spinning Bath Preparation

A coagulating bath (Spin bath) used for regeneration of cellulose in viscose in the form of fibre is

composed of Sulphuric Acid, Sodium Sulphate, Zinc Sulphate, Alum and Water. During

regeneration, the alkali present in the viscose reacts with sulphuric acid to form sodium sulphate

and water. Hence, there is a continuous depletion of Sulphuric Acid and build-up of Sodium

Sulphate in the spin bath.

The preparation of spin bath is carried out in a series of equipment like circulation tanks, spin bath

filters, evaporators, and crystallizer and, rotary vacuum filters. The dilution of spin bath occurs

due to large water content in viscose and water generation by the reaction of caustic soda and

sulphuric acid in spin bath.

A continuous stream of spin bath is drawn from the system for water evaporation and

crystallisation of Sodium Sulphate. Fresh 98% concentrated sulphuric acid and Zinc are added to

the system to make up for their dilution. Water evaporation is carried out in a series of in Multi-

Effect Evaporators (MEE). The removal of sodium sulphate from the system is brought about by

the crystallisation in the form of glauber salt, and then converted in to anhydrous sodium

sulphate. Spin bath is purified by passing through pressure filters and heaters to acquire desired

temperature. It is continuously fed to Spinning Dept. from gravity tanks.

Anhydrous Sodium Sulphate Manufacturing

Glauber salt crystals are melted in their own water of crystallization and the water is evaporated

from the resultant liquor in 3 stage Anhydrous Evaporators, which is subsequently thickened in

settler and filtered to remove sodium sulphate. Further, removal of water is accomplished in a

Drum type dryer and almost bone-dry salt is bagged for sending it to Customers.

The hot air exhausted from the salt dryer is passed through a cyclone separator, water scrubber

for complete removal of carryover of salt.






3. Spinning of Viscose Solution

The filtered and de-aerated viscose is sent to Staple Fibre Extrusion Machines through spinnerets.

A coagulating bath (Spin bath) consisting of Sulphuric Acid, Sodium Sulphate and Zinc Sulphate is

used for regeneration of cellulose in viscose.

Viscose is forced under pressure through very fine holes contained in cup shape nozzles

(Spinnerets) immersed in coagulating / regenerating bath (called Spin bath). Emerging viscose

filaments are coagulated and regenerated into fine filaments, accompanied by formation of

Sodium Sulphate.

The machine produces fibre of various denier and length. The regenerated fibre is subjected to

stretch during entire generation process, which the molecules along the length of the fibre to

impart the strength. During this stage as well carbon disulphide is recovered through series of

condensers and the liquid CS2 is collected in tanks, purified and reused in xanthation process. This

stage also maintains very efficient recirculation system and exhaust system.

4. After Treatment of Fibre

Fibre is washed, de-sulphurized and bleached to remove undesirable sulphur and colour. It is then

soft finished and dried in Drum type fibre dryers. Dried fibre is opened and sent to baling press for

packing.

The fibre fleece from the carbon-disulphide recovery system is sent to latest technology after

treatment machine for purification. This machine has number of washing and treatment zones.

The fibre fleece passes through these zones where it gets de-sulphurised, washed and bleached to

remove undesirable sulphur and colour. To avoid wastage and to maintain proper concentration

of treatment liquors, a very efficient recirculation system with squeezing arrangement is

designed. An efficient exhaust system is also provided on the machine.

Fibre is then soft finished and dried in Drum type fibre dryers. Dried fibre is opened and sent to

baling press for packing.

Process Flow Diagram of VSF manufacturing process is given in Figure - 5.






Figure - 5: Process Flow Chart of VSF

� Sulphuric Acid Plant

The sulphuric acid plant is based on DCDA technology with high heat-recovery and gas

scrubbing system for better pollution control. 98% Sulphuric Acid is manufactured from rock

sulphur by contact process. The powdered sulphur is melted in sulphur melting pits. It is

purified in a series of setting chambers and leaf type filters.

The cleaned sulphur is burnt with air to yield sulphur dioxide. This is accomplished in a

furnace, which is lined with suitable refractory. The temperature of gases leaving furnace is

around 1000°C. These gases are cooled to about 430°C in a waste heat boiler where steam is

generated. The cooled gases are first filtered in a hot gas filter before feeding to a five-stage

converter. The converter has Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) catalyst spread over different

beds. Sulphur dioxide and oxygen in air react together to form sulphur trioxide. This reaction

being exothermic in nature, the temperature of gas increases. It is brought down to 420 °C

before it is fed to subsequent stages. Gases after third stage of conversion, which are

sufficiently rich in sulphur trioxide, are fed to Absorber I for absorption of sulphur trioxide.

The temperature of gases is brought down to 150 °C before their entry into Absorber – I. The

unabsorbed gases are reheated by the incoming gases in indirect heat exchangers and fed to

fourth stage of converter. The gases after the fifth stage are again cooled and fed to

Absorber – II. The unabsorbed gases comprising mainly inert, air, traces of sulphur dioxide,

sulphur trioxide and acid mist are discharged into atmosphere through scrubber. Air used in

the process is first dried in a drying tower.






98% acid is used for absorption for sulphur trioxide and air drying. The sulphuric acid thus gets

concentrated continuously. Soft water is added to maintain the concentration around 98%.

There is considerable heat evolved during absorption of sulphur trioxide in Sulphuric Acid and

during dilution of sulphuric acid with water. Further heat is also taken-up by acid due to

sensible heat loss by gases. The sulphuric acid is continuously cooled to desired temperature

in heat exchangers. Acid circulation tanks and pumps are used for maintaining the supply of

requisite concentration of sulphuric acid to various towers. Product acid is continuously

drawn off.

� Carbon-Disulphide (CS2) Plant Using Natural gas as Raw Material

Carbon disulphide (CS2) is manufactured by the reaction of sulphur vapours with amorphous

carbon.

Natural gas is used as the source of carbon. Sulphur received from mines/Petroleum refineries

is melted, purified and fed to carbon disulphide plant reactor.

CS2 production and Sulphur Recovery:

CS2 vapours are produced in a reactor by feeding controlled quantity of purified Natural gas

and molten Sulphur and condensed in a series of condensers. CS2 is further recovered from

the uncondensed stream before the waste gases (comprising mainly hydrogen sulphide) are

fed into Sulphur Recovery Unit. (SRU).

Vapours of CS2 along with impurities like hydrogen sulphide and sulphur are discharged from

the reactor to the sulphur separator.

Sulphur separator is a mild steel-jacketed vessel containing a bath of molten sulphur. The

gases and vapours are made to bubble through this bath. The vapours of sulphur get

condensed and remaining gas is fed into the condensers.

Uncondensed Gases after the condensers containing H2S and traces of CS2 are fed into the

Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU). The SRU is the most efficient unit having an efficiency of 96%.

After maximum recovery of sulphur by Klaus process in this SRU, remaining minor quantity of

gases are scrubbed by alkali.

Condensed CS2 is collected and stored under water in storage Tanks and sent to Viscose

section for Xanthation.

Description of Effluent Treatment Plant

Sources of wastewater for ETP include wastewater generation from the power plant, Main plant

(Viscose, MSFE, Spinning & CS2 / Acid) processes, etc. Waste water generated from the plant is

being / will be treated in ETP; and treated effluent is being / will be then discharged to GIDC

pipeline for its final disposal to Sea, no untreated wastewater is discharged outside the plant

premises.

Quantity of wastewater treated in Effluent Treatment Plant comes from two different streams:

1. Acidic stream

2. Alkaline stream

The wastewater from spinning plant contributes to acidic as well as alkaline stream. Wastewater

from MSFE, department contributes to acidic and wastewater from viscose and acid plant

contributes to alkaline stream. These streams are mixed together and pumped to suction pit. At

the inlet of primary clarifier, lime is added and mixed properly to neutralize the acid. Then it is

transferred to the primary clarifier for settlement of suspended matter. Overflow of the clarifier is

fed to the biological treatment system after addition of nutrients. In the biological reactor,

biomass is developed which reduces Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The Dissolved Oxygen

level is maintained as per requirement. Overflow of the biological reactor is then transferred to

secondary clarifier. Sludge generated during the effluent treatment processes is continuously

removed and passed through the belt press to reduce the moisture content.

Process flow chart is shown in Figure - 6.

(1+1) Raw Sewage Non-Clog Submersible pumps each 45 m3/hour at 15M TDH, lifts sewage to

Screening Chamber located on top of Equalization Tank. The Raw Sewage passes through a

screening chamber having Automatic Coarse Bar Screen followed by Automatic Fine Step Screen

to remove floating solids, debris, fibre etc. There is a by-pass channel with penstock for use of

plant during maintenance of Mechanical Screens. The Screened Effluent enters a Grease Trap

Chamber. The Chamber is baffle partitioned to retain floating oil in first section and to let out

effluent stream enters in equalization tank for equalization of Sewage. The sewage enters

Diffused Aeration Tank for biological treatment. In Aeration for Mixing and Homogenization of

consistent quality supplied air through blowers. After that the oxidized sewage passed through






the secondary clarifier for the separation of biomass. The treated sewage collected in a tank and

passed through the pressure sand filters for the removal SS and collected in final storage tank.

From here the treated sewage passed through UV system for disinfection and finally used for

green belt development.
