(ii) Brief description of nature of project :

Indira Paper Mill Pvt. Ltd. is going to modernize its existing Paper Mill by addition of bleaching process, for producing Writing Paper, and expansion of existing 25 TPD capacity to 50 TPD capacity. The paper mill will generate pulp from recycling of waste paper as raw material and subsequently pulp obtained from recycling of waste paper will be utilized for production of writing paper. In the proposed expansion paper mill project, 14 TPH boiler based on rice husk as fuel will be installed for meeting the steam requirement of the project. Boiler will be equipped with Web Scrubber for controlling air pollution and 30 M. height stack for wider dispersion of pollutants. Existing Rice Husk Boiler of 6 TPH will be dismantled. Old pumps and motors will be replaced with new high capacity pumps and motors during proposed expansion.

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

In present time, writing paper demand is increasing day by day in and other countries of the region. Manufacturing of writing paper based on waste paper recycling will conserve the environment by saving trees. This paper is also bio degradable in nature and in future it may be one of the best substitutes of plastic bags in the future. Thus, the preset project will be helpful to save the environment and conserve natural resources by use of waste paper instead of cutting of trees for making pulp and paper.

(iv) Demand Supply Gap:

The current demand for paper and paperboard was around 10.05 million tonnes and is expected to reach 15 million tonnes by 2020. The pulp and paper industry is forecasted to grow at 6-7 per cent each year. Paper production is likely to grow at 8.4 per cent, while the consumption of paper is likely to grow at 9 per cent. Thus, new capacity is needed to cover the demand growth. As it stands, the gap between production and consumption will be met through the import of pulp and paper from other countries.

Pre Feasibility Report for Proposed Paper Mill Project of [5] Indira Paper Mill Pvt. Ltd. , Dhawalpura, Mahuli Road, Patna, Bihar

(v) Imports vs. Indigenous Production:

The paper industry in India is one of the most thriving industries in the country. The Indian paper industry accounts for about 1.6 per cent of the world’s production of paper and paperboard. Indian paper industry is the 15th largest in the world and provides employment to 1.3mn people in country contributing Rs. 25 billion to the government. India is self-sufficient in manufacture of most varieties of paper and paperboards. Import is mainly related to certain specialty papers such as light weight coated variety of paper, cheque paper, etc. Due to the scarcity of raw material, the companies also need to rely on imported wood pulp and waste paper. It is well known fact that the volumes of import and exports of paper in India are small. The Graph 3.9 indicates that imports of paper and paper boards in to India are increasing steadily in the past few years. The rate of exports growth on the other hand has shown a steady downturn. The industry needs to monitor this situation closely so that the balanced of trade is maintained in the interest of the industry.

(vi) Export Possibility:

PPMPL management will decide & explore export possibilities for their products in due course of time.

(vii) Domestic/Export Market:

The paper industry is expected to continue at 6-8% growth rate in the medium to long term although there may be aberrant years given the cyclical nature of the industry. The low per capita consumption of paper provides tremendous potential for growth in paper demand. Further the capacity addition programme has now come to an end and there has been a considerable slowdown in new project announcement and completion. With recent capacity additions being completed, any fresh announcements are unlikely in the near term and with a gestation period of 24-30 months for new capacities, supply side pressures have started easing. Assuming a moderate growth of 6% p.a., the market would expand by around 0.7 million metric tones annually which would be sufficient to absorb the new capacities that will come up in the next 2-3 years.

(viii) Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect)

PULPING & DE-INKING ;

High consistency batch pulping normally uses a helical rotor, which is very much larger in relation to the pulper tub than a low consistency rotor. The low rotor speed relative to low consistency pulping reduces the cutting of plastic and other contaminants, but shearing forces are high, since the velocity difference between the stock and the rotor is high. Mechanical forces are low and when no screen plate is fitted mechanical forces are very low. Discharge from the pulper can be through a screen plate, or direct, with no screening. When discharge is through a screen, contaminants retained in the pulper are flushed out and dewatered; extracted water can be returned to pulper. Recycled paper, newsprint and magazine is charged in Hydraulic pulper with addition of water and same is processed till waste paper is converted into slurry form with high consistency pulp. The hydro pulped pulp is cleaned in high density cleaner followed by turbo separator for heavy weight and light weight impurities respectively. Then it is continuously forwarded to centricleaner after passing through screen. At centricleaner, the sand is separated due to centrifugal force. The pulp is then taken to Decker thickener where the wastewater is removed and pulp is thickened.

The thickened pulp is processed to a chest through refiner by which the pulp becomes finer as per process requirement.

Then it is transferred to machine chest where addition of dye and chemical takes place. This pulp is then fed to the machine chest.

DE-INKING ;

The function of the pulper in a deinking operation is to defiber the paper and to detach the ink particles from the fibers, while retaining the contraries (undesirable materials) large enough to be removed by centricleaners and screens in subsequent stages. The flotation unit has often been referred to as the “heart” of the deinking system. It is reasonable then to think of the pulper as the “brain” of the system. If the pulper does not work properly, or if the chemistry of the chemicals added is unbalanced, the batch has little chance of success. Normally the pulper has provisions for supplying heat to obtain the desired temperature at the desired mixing speed and consistency.

BLEACHING

This is done in two stages. Firstly the pulp is treated with NaOH in the presence of O2.

The NaOH removes hydrogen ions from the lignin and then the O2 breaks down the

polymer. Then, the pulp is treated with ClO2 then a mixture of NaOH, O2 and peroxide

and finally with ClO2 again to remove the remaining lignin.

Bleaching involves removing virtually all of the lignin that still remains after cooking, as the lignin contains the chromophoric groups which make the pulp dark. Strictly speaking, bleaching and cooking are both delignification processes, and modern developments have tended to blur the difference between the two processes. However, traditionally the name 'bleaching' is reserved for delignification that is taking place downstream of the cooking process. In practice, there are two separate "bleaching" process steps: oxygen delignification and final bleaching.

OXYGEN DELIGNIFICATION

In oxygen delignification, washed pulp is treated with a highly alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide. The high pH ionizes phenolic groups in the lignin, which are then attacked by molecular oxygen. The aromatic part of the lignin is partly destroyed and it is then depolymerised to lower molecular weight compounds. These are more soluble in water and can be removed from the fibres. It is important that the pulp has been at least partly washed beforehand because the black liquor solids in unwashed pulp consume oxygen. After the oxygen delignification stage, the pulp has to be washed very well, as otherwise the organics carry over to the final bleaching process, consuming chemicals there and also decreasing the environmental benefits.

Oxygen delignification can significantly decrease the water pollution from the final (normally chlorine or chlorine dioxide based) bleaching. In addition, it is an effluent free process. All dissolved lignin and other organics (as well as the inorganic chemicals) are recovered in the black liquor and returned to the chemical recovery system, rather than being discharged as effluent as they are in chlorine-based bleaching. Finally, oxygen is a fairly cheap bleaching chemical, although the capital costs are high for an efficient system.

Pre Feasibility Report for Proposed Paper Mill Project of [9] Indira Paper Mill Pvt. Ltd. , Dhawalpura, Mahuli Road, Patna, Bihar

FINAL BLEACHING

The final bleaching is always carried out in several stages to improve the efficiency of the chemicals used, and to decrease the strength loss of the pulp. There are quite a number of bleaching chemicals used commercially, and many more have been tried in the laboratory. The chemicals used are:

. Sodium hypochlorite . Hydrogen Peroxide . Ozone

These chemicals, are non-chlorine oxidizing compounds. Elemental chlorine (Cl2) was for many years the work horse of the bleaching process. It is efficient in bleaching the pulp and (if properly used) does not degrade the pulp strength. However, it produces a large amount of chlorinated organic compounds in the effluent, and strenuous efforts have therefore been made to decrease its usage. For the same reason, the use of Elemental Chlorine (which also tended to affect the pulp strength) is now virtually eliminated. The final bleaching agent will be hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite.

STOCK PREPARATION ;

Bleached pulp is mixed with long fibre pulp, comprising mainly rags and wastepaper pulp. The mix pulp is blended with additives and fillers in the blending chest. The chemicals added to the blending chest are rosin, alum, talc, dye (optional), optical whitener and high gum. The chemicals (additives, fillers etc) solutions are prepared and added manually in every batch.

PAPER MACHINE ;

The blended pulp is again centricleaned to remove impurities and finally fed to the paper machine through a head box. From the dewatering and paper making angle, the machine has three principal stages:

- The gravitational and vacuum dewatering stage (wire part) - The mechanical dewatering stage (press rolls part) - The thermal drying stage (indirect steam dryers)

Pre Feasibility Report for Proposed Paper Mill Project of [10] Indira Paper Mill Pvt. Ltd. , Dhawalpura, Mahuli Road, Patna, Bihar

On the wire part of the paper machine, the dewatering of pulp takes place by gravity and vacuum. The water from the wire mesh is collected in a fan pump pit and is continuously recycled to dilute the pulp fed into the paper machine centricleaner. In some mills, the wire is continuously washed with fresh water showers. The water is collected and fibre is recovered through Krofta save-all. The clear water from save-all is recycled back to different consumption points. Excess is discharged to ETP drain.

After the wire part, the edge cutting operation is carried out to obtain paper of a definite width. The edge cuts of the pulp web falls in the couch pit and are recycled to the machine chest.

Towards the end of the wire part of the machine, the consistency of pulp rises to about 20 per cent. Further dewatering is carried out by press rolls to raise the consistency to about 55%. The paper is finally dried through an indirect steam dryer to about 94% solids and is collected in rolls as the final product.
