BRIEF SUMMARY

Project

M/s D.C Industries is a partnership firm started with the objective to get involved in the business of manufacturing & trading in organic chemicals viz. Formaldehyde.

M/s D.C Industries is an existing unit for modernization of manufacturing of Formaldehyde with the capacity of Production of 40 M.T per day at Plot No.- G1-613 (R), RIICO Industrial Area, Khushkhera, Tehsil , District , . The Company has been registered by District Industries Centre, on 05/08/2014 . The existing plant was established based on CTE vide File no. F(Tech)/ Alwar(Tijara)/2024(1)/2014/2015/1511-1513, Dated 12/12/2014. The latest CTO was applied for renewal vide Application No.-206048, Dated- 24/01/2018. The Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board has issued an Order No.- F.14(23) Policy/Plg/Vol IV/471-510, Dated -19/08/2019 to apply for EC within 60 days from the date of issue of letter.

Location

The Existing project is located in a 1889 sq.m and is situated at Plot No.- G1-613 (R), RIICO, Industrial Area, Khushkhera, Tehsil Tijara, District Alwar, Rajasthan. This is existing Project for Modernization of manufacturing of Formaldehyde 40 M.T per day. As the land itself in industrial area of RIICO Industrial area, hence land use already been changed to industrial unit. There is no forest land involved in this 1889 sq.m of land. The geographical location of the Existing plant lies from Latitude- 28°7'24" N to Longitude- 76°47'10"E

The Existing plant site is well connected with the rail and road connectivity. The Existing project site is about 3.1 kms from SH-25 (Tijara-Delhi Highway) in North East direction and is 9.4 kms from NH-8 in North West Direction (Delhi- Expressway)

It is connected with the adjacent states and other parts of as well, which facilitates transportation of goods, both inwards and outwards. This further facilitates the marketing of Formaldehyde all over India including Haryana, Punjab & Rajasthan are nearby industrial areas having plywood and Sunmica/decorative laminate industry.

Project Proponent

The present proposal is for the production of Formaldehyde with a manufacturing capacity of 40 M.T per day is being promoted by Mr. Mukut Gupta & Mr. Saurabh Mangla, who are experienced persons.

Process / Technology

The commercial production of Formaldehyde is manufactured from oxidation- dehydrogenation using a silver catalyst involving either the complete or incomplete conversion of methanol.

Methanol is vaporized and mixed with air and steam and it is then passed over a thin bed of silver catalyst at 650°C. Formaldehyde is formed by the dehydrogenation of methanol.

The heat required for the endothermic reaction is obtained by burning hydrogen content in the off gasses, produced from the dehydrogenation reaction.

Manpower Requirement

About 10-11 persons have been employed to the industry.

Water requirement

Total water requirement is 40 KLD. For drinking purpose is 2 KLD & for industrial purpose is 38 KLD. Application for Groundwater abstraction has been filed vide Application No. 21 4/13959/RJ/IND/2019, dated - 24/08/2019 to CGWB

Power Requirement

Maximum power requirement for the plant is 135 KVA (Total connected load). Average running load power requirement for the project is 120 KVA. The power is supplied from JVVNL (Jaipur Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited). 1 DG set of capacity 125 KVA also exists as the backup power supply.

Raw Material Requirement

The only raw material is Methanol (99.9%) which comes in road tankers & stored in 60 KL underground 4 M.S tanks.

Capital Cost of the project

The fixed cost for the Existing project is 261.03 lacs which include land, building, plant & machinery and modernization.
