    OVERVIEW

    Chemical industry is one of the oldest industries that has contributed significantly to the

    industrial and economic growth of India. It is estimated that the size of the Indian chemical

    industry is around US$ 30 billion. Volume of production by chemical industry positions India as

    third largest producer in Asia (next to China and Japan) and twelfth largest in the world. The

    industry, comprising both small scale and large units (including MNCs), produces several

    thousands of products and bi-products, ranging from plastics and petrochemicals to cosmetics

    and toiletries. A significant share (around one-third) of production by chemical industry is

    consumed by itself.

    The chemical industry accounts for about 13% share in the manufacturing output and around 5%

    in total exports of the country. The chemical industry contributes around 20% of national revenue

    by way of various taxes and levies. The chemical industry produced around 8 million metric

    tonnes each of basic chemicals and basic petrochemicals, and around 10 million metric tonnes of

    petrochemical intermediaries in 2005-06.

    Gujarat is the major contributor to the basic chemical as well as petrochemical production with

    54% and 59% share in all India production, respectively. Other major states producing basic

    chemicals include Maharashtra (9%), Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh (6% each). Other major

    states producing petrochemicals include Maharashtra (18%), West Bengal (12%), Uttar Pradesh

    (4%), and Tamil Nadu (3%).

    Indias export of basic chemicals amounted to over US$ 7 billion in 2005-06. India exported US$

    4.85 billion worth of organic chemicals, US$ 775 million worth of inorganic chemicals, US$ 847

    million worth of tanning and colouring materials, and US$ 649 million worth of pesticides, in the

    year 2005-06. In addition, India exported petrochemicals valued nearly US$ 4 billion. India is

    also an importer of basic chemicals and the import value amounted to over US$ 8 billion in

    2005-06. The composition of Indias chemical imports includes organic chemicals (63%),

    inorganic chemicals (28%), dyes (6%) and pesticides (3%). China, USA and Saudi Arabia are the

    leading source countries for Indias chemical imports. In addition, India imported petrochemicals

    valued over US$ 2 billion. The Indian chemical industry has been receiving significant

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    4/27

    4

    investment intentions, including foreign direct investment (FDI). Since August 1991, and till

    November 2006, chemical industry has received investment proposals worth Rs.274486 crores, a

    share of 11.3% in total investment proposals received during this period. FDI, which is very

    essential for modern manufacturing of chemicals, has also been flowing into the chemical sector

    significantly. During the period August 1991 to October 2006, FDI inflows into the chemicals

    sector amounted to US$ 2.2 billion, a share of around 6% in total FDI inflows into the country.

    The chemical industry in India has the potential to grow to around USD 100

    billion by 2010 according to KPM s analysis based on a survey of the

    industry. This would imply an annual growth rate of 15.5 per cent.. At USD

    100 billion, the industry s contribution to India s GDP will grow from the

    current 6.7 per cent to 12.1 per cent and its share of the global industry will

    increase from 1.9 per cent to 3.9 per cent. In order to fulfill this, the industry

    needs to focus on new sources of growth like the Speciality and Knowledge

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    5/27

    5

    segments. At the Base case, if the current growth rates are maintained, the

    industry is expected to grow to USD 60 billion by 2010. In that case, the

    industry s contribution to India s GDP would increase to 7.1 per cent and its

    share of the global industry would increase to 2.3 per cent. The industry

    would need to seek new directions in order to achieve the incremental USD

    40 billion over the Base case scenario. This study seeks to discuss the

    drivers and imperatives for the industry s growth.

    GLOBAL SCENARIO

    The size of the global chemical industry is estimated at approximately USD 2.4 trillion in 2007.

    The industry is currently under-performing due to the recession . Some of the emerging trends

    of the global chemical industry that can be leveraged for growth are:

    increasing globalisation as growth in mature markets drives leading players to explore

    new developing markets;

    consolidation to leverage economies of scale in the Basic and Knowledge segments;

    increasing focus on core businesses, resulting in diversified chemical and

    multi-product companies divesting businesses or exiting non-core product lines;

    cost optimisation assuming critical importance in the face of slow growth coupled

    with a pressure on prices due to competition;

    increasing investments in R&D (especially in the Speciality and Knowledge segments)

    to gain competitive advantage.

    Chemical Industry is an important constituent of the Indian economy having approx. US

    $ 28 billion turnover which is approx. 7% of Indias GDP.

    In terms of volume, it is 12th largest in the world, and 3rd largest in Asia

    Within India, it constitutes about 15% of manufacturing capacity and20% of the Excise

    revenue to the Government of India.Chemical industry has weightage of about 13% in the

    index of industrial production.

    The global chemical industry is valued at about US $ 2.4 trillion. Of which,

    Indias chemical sector accounts for just 2%

    Indias present share in Global Trade is 0.6% i.e. USD 45 Billion & it has been expected

    to increase the same to 1% i.e. USD 80 Billion by 2011.

    Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industry is the most important Foreign Exchange earner with

    major value additions through out the value chain. The value is added using Knowledge,

    energy and Capital.

    The Indian Chemical sector accounts for 13-14% of total exports and 8-9% of total

    imports of the country.

    CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING PROCESS & PRODUCT

    FORMULATION

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    14/27

    14

    Chemical manufacturing is the process through which a chemical is synthesized from raw

    materials or other chemical feed stocks. Product formulation is the process by which chemical

    products composed of one or more ingredients, are prepared according to the product formula.

    (1) describes the process for manufacturing the chemicals in the use cluster; and (2) describes the

    chemical product formulation process, if applicable. In both cases, the descriptions focus on the

    industrial or laboratory means of synthesis, the necessary starting materials and feed stocks, by-

    products and co-products, isolated or non-isolated intermediates, and relevant reaction conditions

    (e.g., temperature, pressure, catalyst, solvents, and other chemicals).

    GOALS:

    Describe the processes for manufacturing chemicals in the use cluster.

    Describe the process for formulating chemical products used in the use cluster, if

    applicable.

    Compile chemical manufacturing and product formulation data to be used by subsequent

    modules if the impacts of these up-stream processes are being evaluated in a CTSA.

    PEOPLE SKILLS: The following lists the types of skills or knowledge that are needed to

    complete this module.

    Knowledge of chemical feed stocks, synthetic chemical reaction catalysts, and reaction

    conditions.

    Understanding of chemical manufacturing processes, including both batch and continuous

    processes, as well as chemical equilibrium, kinetics, and heat and mass transfer.

    Within a business or DfE project team, the people who might supply these skills include a

    chemist and a chemical or process engineer. Vendors of the chemicals or chemical formulations

    may also be a good resource.

    DEFINITION OF TERMS:

    Catalyst: A substance that accelerates a chemical reaction but which itself is not consumed in the

    reaction.

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    15/27

    15

    Chemical By-product: An unintended chemical compound that is formed by a chemical

    reaction.

    Chemical Intermediate: A chemical substance that is formed during the reaction and then

    undergoes further reaction to produce a product.

    Chemical Product: In a CTSA, refers to products in the use cluster composed of one or more

    chemicals for which product formulation data must be obtained.

    Chemical Reaction: The process that converts a substance into a different substance.

    Feedstock: A raw material, pure chemical, or chemical compound that is used to synthesize a

    chemical.

    Unit Operation: A process step that achieves a desired function

    .

    APPROACH/METHODOLOGY:

    The following presents a summary of the approach or methodology for describing the chemical

    manufacturing processes and product formulation methods of chemicals or chemical products.

    CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING:

    Step 1: Obtain chemical information, including CAS RNs, synonyms, melting points, and

    boiling points from the Chemical Properties module.

    Step 2: Determine the primary industrial mode of synthesis for each chemical in the use cluster

    Step 3: Develop a chemical manufacturing process flow diagram for the primary mode of

    synthesis. The diagram should identify the major unit operations and equipment, as well as all

    input and output streams.

    Step 4: Identify any chemical intermediates, catalysts, feed stocks, and chemical products or by-

    products involved in the synthesis that have the potential for release.

    PRODUCT FORMULATION:

    Step 5: Obtain chemical product formulation data for any chemical products being evaluated in

    the CTSA from the Performance Assessment module. When proprietary chemical products are

    being used, only generic formulations may be available.

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    16/27

    16

    Step 6: Determine the primary industrial method of formulation for each chemical product being

    evaluated. Mixing operations, with or without the addition of heat or pressure, are typical

    manufacturing processes for product formulations.

    Step 7: Develop a process flow diagram for the primary industrial method of formulation. The

    diagram should include the unit operations, material flows, and equipment used in the

    formulation process.

    Step 8: Identify any chemical intermediates, catalysts, feed stocks, and chemical products or by-

    products involved in the product formulation process that have the potential for release.

    TRANSFERRING INFORMATION:

    Step 9: Provide the following information to the modules listed below:

    Energy usage resulting from the chemical manufacturing and product formulation

    processes (e.g., heat, pressure, etc.) to the Energy Impacts module.

    Material streams usage resulting from the chemical manufacturing or product formulation

    processes (e.g., chemical feedstock, catalysts, etc.) to the Resource Conservation module.

    FTP PROVISIONS FOR THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

    Exports and Imports shall be free, except where regulated by FTP or

    any other law in force.

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    17/27

    17

    The procedure for facilitating foreign direct investment has been

    simplified. Most of the chemical items fall under the RBI automatic

    approval route for FDI/NRI investment up to 100 per cent.

    Expansion of FMS Focus Market Scheme (FMS) has been expandedby adding 26 new markets, out of which 16 are in Latin America and 10

    in Asia-Oceania. Incentive under the scheme has been enhanced from

    2.5% to 3%.

    Expansion of FPS Incentive under the scheme has been enhanced

    from 1.25% to 2%.

    Duty free import of specialized inputs /chemicals and flavoring oils is

    allowed to the extent of 1% of FOB value of preceding financial years

    export.

    Free imports of samples by exporters - Number of free samples

    allowed is increased from 15 to 50 as per para 49 of Highlights of

    Foreign Trade Policy announced on 27-8-2009. It seems the change will

    be effective after relevant customs notification is suitably modified.

    Customs Duty

    1.)The peak rate of Customs Duty on most Chemicals is 7.5%

    2.)On basic raw materials like sulphur, rock phosphate, natural borates

    is 5%

    3.)On most building blocks & feedstock the duty is 5% (ethylene,

    propylene, benzene, toluene, xylene )

    Excise Duty-On almost all chemicals the excise duty is 16%.

    EPCG scheme

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    18/27

    18

    Zero duty EPCG scheme - A zero duty EOCG scheme has been

    introduced in FTP 2009-14 for a limited period i.e. upto 31-3-2011.The

    scheme is available for exporters of engineering and electronic

    products, basic chemicals and pharmaceuticals, apparels and textiles,

    plastics, handicrafts, chemicals and allied products and leather and

    leather products, except those excluded in HBP Vol. 1.

    Manufacture under Bond -Under the Manufacture under Bond

    Scheme, all factories registered to produce their goods for export are

    exempted from import duty and other taxes on inputs used to

    manufacture such goods. Against this the manufacturer is allowed to

    import goods without paying any customs duty. The production is

    made under the supervision of customs or excise authority.

    Duty exemption and remission schemes-The Government has

    been taking various steps for augmenting the export. Some of the

    important measures taken by the Government are as follows:-

    1. Extension of the Duty Entitlement Pass Book (DEPB) Scheme up to

    December 31,2009;

    2. Providing pre and post-shipment credit assistance in rupees as well as

    in dollars;

    3. Reduction in import duties of raw materials; and

    4. Reduction in interest rates on export finance; etc

    QUALITY CONTROL IN CHEMICAL SECTOR

    The chemical industry is one of the most regulated activity sectors, where

    regulation includes specific quality systems such as good laboratory practice

    (GLP), good clinical practice (GCP) and good manufacture practice (GMP). On

    the other hand, accreditation to these practices covers technical

    performance and is not suitable for pharma research and development (R&D)

    as it is almost impossible to comply with the requirements of the European

    standard in the pharma environment. The challenge is, therefore, to develop

    quality systems, compatible with various principles, that not only cover

    formal quality items, but also ensure good scientific and technical

    performance.

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    22/27

    22

    Quality Assurance (QA): is the activity of providing evidence needed to

    establish quality in work, and that activities that require good quality are

    being performed effectively all those planned or systematic actions

    necessary to provide enough confidence that a product or service will satisfy

    the given requirements for quality. QA introduces the rules'fit for purpose'

    and 'do it right the first time'. It can be achieved by introducing appropriate

    standard operating procedures (SOPs) in-house.

    SOPs: An SOP is a set of instructions having the force of a directive, covering

    those features of operations that lend themselves to a definite or

    standardized procedure without loss of effectiveness. Every good quality

    system is based on its SOPs.

    The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) defines SOPs as

    'detailed, written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of a

    specific function'. SOPs are necessary for chemical products development-

    whether it concerns a pharmaceutical company, a contract research

    organization, an investigator site, or any other party involved to achieve

    maximum safety and efficiency of the performed clinical research operations.

    SOPs provide procedural information about what needs to be completed to

    fulfill the obligations of the regulations and provide auditors and regulatory

    authority inspectors a tool to monitor adherence.

    INSPECTIONS AND AUDITS

    Before any inspection or audit starts, it is customary for the inspector or the

    auditor to read the current SOPs for the relevant field. This is to judge the

    compliance of SOPs, as to how sincerely they are used by the related

    personnel, following ICH and other applicable regulatory guidelines.

    During inspection the inspectors generally ascertain that appropriate SOPs

    are available; edition numbers are correct and all obsolete editions have

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    23/27

    23

    been withdrawn from circulation; distribution lists are still correct; SOPs are

    effective, not leaving parts of the working procedures uncontrolled; whether

    the SOP conveys a process that is effective in achieving compliance with

    requirements/standards, whether the process that is described in the SOP is

    an efficient way of performing the task; can the requirements of the SOP be

    enforced; and whether the SOP training records for the staff are in place.

    QA paradigms: One of the most widely used paradigms for QA

    management is the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) approach. In order to have the

    PDCA approach, SOPs may be tailored for--pre-clinical, clinical, bio-analysis

    and pharmacokinetics, regulatory affairs, pharma-ovigilance/drug safety,

    project management, data management, quality assurance including

    inspections by competent authorities, external vendor management, crisis

    management (including product recall), supply chain management and

    change control procedures. In a nutshell, all that can be said is 'write down

    what you do, do what is written down'.

    ISO STANDARDS FOR CHEMICALS

    Inorganic chemicals: ISO 1552:1976 & ISO 3425:1975

    Organic chemicals: ISO 1995:1981 & ISO 5280:1979

    Risk Management for Chemical Industries

    The chemical industrial sector is highly heterogeneous encompassing many sectors like organic,

    inorganic chemicals, dyestuffs, paints, pesticides, specialty chemicals, etc. Some of the

    prominent individual chemical industries are caustic soda, soda ash, carbon black, phenol, acetic

    acid, methanol and azo dyes. Chemical manufacturing sector in India is well established and has

    recorded a steady growth in the overall Indian industrial scenario. The Chemical and allied

    industries have been amongst the faster growing segments of the Indian industry. The Indian

    chemical industrial sector had a turnover of around Rs.1200 billion in 2001-2002. The chemical

    exports also accounts for more than 16.20% of the total Indian exports during 2001-2002.

  • 8/8/2019 Operation Management Final Tp

    25/27

    25

    The risks associated with the chemical industry are commensurate with their rapid growth and

    development. Apart from their utility, chemicals have their own inherent properties and hazards.

    Some of them can be flammable, explosive, toxic or corrosive etc. The whole lifecycle of a

    chemical should be considered when assessing its dangers and benefits. Though many of

    chemical accidents have a limited effect, occasionally there are disasters like the one in Bhopal,

    India, in 1984, where lakhs of people were affected and LPG explosion in Vizag refinery where

    huge property damage in addition to 60 deaths was experienced. Therefore chemicals have the

    potential to affect the nearby environment also.

    Design and Pre-modification review : Improper layout like location of plant in

    downwind side of tank farm , fire station near process area , process area very close to

    public road and wrong material of selection had caused severe damages to the work andoutside environment

    Chemical Risk Assessment:Not assessed for new chemicals from the point of view of

    compatibility, storage, fire protection, toxicity, hazard index rating, fire and explosion

    hazards

    Process Safety Management: HAZOP, FTA, F&E Index calculation, reliability

    assessment of process equipment, incorporating safety trips and interlocks, scrubbing

    system, etc. not done before effecting major process changes, lack of Management ofChange procedure (MOC), etc.

    Electrical Safety: Hazardous area classification , protection against static electricity ,

    improper maintenance of specialized equipment like flameproof etc were ignored.

    Safety Audits: Periodical assessment of safety procedures and practices, performance of

    safety systems and gadgets along with follow up measures were not carried out.

    Emergency Planning: Lack of comprehensive risk analysis indicating the impact of

    consequences and specific written down and practiced emergency procedures along with

    suitable facilities had increased the severity of the emergency situations.

    Training: Safety induction and periodical refresher training for the regular employees

    and contract workmen were not carried out.

    Risk Management & Insurance Planning : Thorough identification and analysis of all

    risks and insurance planning were not done so that interruption risks and public liability

    risks could also be managed effectively.
